Nashville looking terrible so far...I'm sure they will be a lot better
Oh and Weber's epic beard is epic
i think we'd have an easier time with washington than we did against buffalo. not guaranteeing we'd beat them or anything because obviously we very easily could've lost to buffalo.Quote:

Pronger and Carter are back; Miller stole 1.5 games in that series.
If they go with Boucher he'll be perfectly serviceable.
Ruh roh Philly
I think the plan is to let them get up 3-0 again.

Not a good start...
whats up with Richards? Wake up son
can't wait til that's made into a gif.
Been out of touch for the last few days. Tornado stuff. No power for 5 days. Left town.
Missed game 1 of Preds-Canucks-sounded like Preds were passive
Saw Game 2- That's the Preds I know.
First time Preds made round 2 and first time with 3 wins in Round 1
i think james van reimsdyke jerseys are gonna be this year's giroux jerseys in philly. this game is INSANE!
the broadcasters are saying his name so much, it's just starting to sound like a nonsensical series of syllables (like when you say eleven 100 times in a row you forget what it means). this would normally annoy me, but good god is it justified tonight
how do phily lose in OT after JVRs 3rd period?!?!
well over 30 shots between the third period and overtime, and a big turnover in our own zone loses it. sigh
:dance:
gg bigred. you guys stole one from us big time
2-0 is nothing compared to last year
we won't fall for that trap again...right Bruins...right?Quote:

say what you want about how holmgren assembled an elite group of forwards w/ solid defense in a relatively short period of time, but is it really even forgiveable how shitty his team's goaltending situation is?
Stevey Y picked up Roloson early on for just about nothing, result: TB up 2-0 against WASH
Philly rides into the post season with a no-name bum goaltender (bobrovsky - who wouldn't have anywhere near the same stats on a team that actually needed goaltending to win i.e. the canadiens) and a few washed up career back-ups.
So sad.
lol come on now the Bruins aren't THAT badQuote:

Vancouver hasn't made it past the second round since 1994, so if they beat Nashville there could definitely be some riots!

This round is just so brutal though - gg caps, gg boudreau gnight it was fun watching you on 24/7 but you're done, vans/preds is the worst style matchup possible (canucks are awesome to watch but preds are the only team that can stymie them). I guess I'll have to put my faith in the sharks. Go wellwood!!!
anyone else disappointed that the second round is so damn one-sided? every series is fucking over, 3-0 or 4-0, except Nash/Van which has me rooting for Nashville to win tonight just to give us some fucking hockey to watch next week. So so sad, fucking capitals and flyers, epic collapse.
Agreed.Quote:

OOOOOOOOOOH you mean the Canadiens!
offseason. douchebag
btw I mean given the way the bruins are wiping the floor with the filthy flyers, does this make you respect the Canadiens more, given that we were one goal away from eliminating you etc? (in all honesty)
Drunk bigred wrote that. Sober bigred approves.
Sober bigred is aware when the bruins are knocked out Penney will be the first one posting ITT. Sober bigred cares not because at the end of the day...its just hockey

There I said it.
And Canadiens fans will never, ever hear the end of it.
Meh, I actually really like hockey. Just trying to be a hater.
so no comment on my prediction of a bruins cup win? I am beginning to thing u speed read all my posts, lopl.
I'm trying to throw you a bone here :D
Am I dreaming?
I think I must be dreaming
We're not actually in a conference final, are we?
omg I have been waiting for this for so long OMG
go detroit!!!
good thing my prediction was a giant level
:shipit:Quote:

The Turkey;)
It'll be at least another year before you win a cup
The Bigred:dance:
San Jose vs Tampa IMO
San Jose vs canucks will go 7, but i reckon tampa will wipe up boston 4-1
I'm predicting SJ > VAN 4-2
Boston > Tampa 4-2 (possibly 3)
The Bigred:dance:
Bring it on Sharks!
Van > SJ 4-2
Bos > TB 4-2
I'm disappointed that game didn't go to triple OT or something.
Get used to disappointment for the rest of the playoffs if you're not a bruins fan.Quote:

emotion right off the bat even before the puck dropped, this is more like it!!
so yeah I am starting to dislike vancouver on the basis of their fans screaming LLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU on even the most routine saves
really annoying imo
chant goalie's name when he's playing out of his mind, not making peewee stops
I still like the green men though.
why? because you thought they might win or for other reasons.Quote:

I guess you like 4-3, 5-4 games better but I like defensive games where one goal can be huge.
Crazy game between Boston and Tampa. Should have been more like 6-3 but Thomas was not good at all.
the green men have some competition!!
wheeeeeeeeee
LETS GO! ANYONE BUT THE CANUCKS! literally anyone will do.
I'm rooting for Tampa Bay in the east. Roloson needs a cup!Quote:

try as I might, I just can't root for Vancouver. Sorry Courtie / JL etc. I'll only be able to root for em if they end up playing Boston in the final. Then, all will be forgiven.
It's all good. I was rooting against Montreal last year when they made it this far.
I would cheer for Montreal but root against Toronto.
I hate all these early game starts. I guess I can forgive 6 pm, but 12 pm on Sunday??? That's SCOOP Main Event day. FML
I hate San Jose and their fans SO much. Like stop with the hits from behind already. Apparently they need to take out all our defensemen and spend a third of the game on the power play to have a fucking hope.

Kesler's pretty badass. Anyone think that was a cramp and not a real injury? His recovery was a little too miraculous even with whatever insane drugs they're able to pump into them to keep them going.
Cortisone shots are a magical thing.
Also respect for thorton, playing the most minutes of any san jose forward with a separated shoulder, thats impressive.
I definitely have huge respect for Thornton.
Game 7 tomorrow! I'm looking forward to it.
Pffft, that's nothing compared to having your eye shot out!
Insane recovery if he makes it back in time for the finals though:
Updated: Malhotra cleared for practice with contact
Boston Tampa game 7 was very good. That's the definition of how a 1-0 game can be epic...not a single penalty all game.
Close enough!Quote:

I have $250 riding on this series. Going with the Canadian team.

Besides, everyone knows that Canadians only stole hockey from the Massachuset tribe of the early Americas. The Canucks play today is an insult to the rightful ancestors of the sport. It's time the championship returned to its proper home.
Fuck yeah Bruins...and America!
So if the Bruins lose will that make america the inferior country?
That's like asking if the Sun doesn't rise tomorrow, will Africa have the best beaches?Quote:
