    Bruins baby, Bruins! :)

    They beat USA's #1 goalie in the first round. And Savard will be back in the 2nd round. Things are looking good for the B's. I'm totally shocked with the Habs. Down 3 games to 1 & come back 2 games straight wins. I'm shocked. Well, i'm only gonna be happy when they loose Wednesday night in Washington.

    the chi/nash game is a good one...but the refs need to swallow their whistles a little more...those last 2 penalties were ticky tack :D

    You hit the nail right on the head.

    Just hope Halak doesn't play like that again, he should have saved that preformance last night for game 7, don't think he has it in him for another game.

    My condolences go out to Mayday and his Sabre defeat. Look on the bright side PJ will be in Buffalo in less than 2 weeks :D

    ugh, yeah. The better team won. 0-19 on the PP for the series and none of the Sabres' goal scorers did squat. Connolly, Roy, and Pominville folded up while the Sabres had to depend on guys like Grier, Ellis, Gerbe, Kennedy, Montador, Rivet, etc to score.

    I like the future the Sabres have, but the top 6 needs tweaking and they need a little size/grit.

    Love the Bruins!!!! that said I don't think we can beat the Penguins (God I hate saying that as I can't stand em). So that would mean to cheer for Montreal (a Bruins fan cheering for Montreal??? The world would end!).
    But I think Washington would have the best chance of beating the Penguins........

    So Go Caps, Go Bruins and EFF the Penguins and Flyers!!!!!

    I get up at 4am during the week so I don't know what I'll do about the game tonight. Be nice if Detroit was up 4-0 after 1 period so I could go to sleep :) Unfortunately I think this is going to be a nailbiter.

    GO WINGS!!

    Not sure about that. Washington has been struggling with the Habs. Plus you'll be facing one of the greatest players on the ice today, Sidney Crosby. Atleast the Bruins beat the #1 goalie & Team USA's hero @ the Olympic Games. Bruins had so many amazing chances to score against Miller. Miller won't be in the next round. And with Savard back in the lineup, things are gonna look sweet for the Bruins.

    But I agree with you. Go Cap's Go. They better win tomorrow against the Hab's. I'm surprised the Hab's even came back from a 3-1 games down.

    2 game 7's in the next 2 nights...gotta love playoff hockey!

    Also, I cannot wait for the Hawks-Nucks series. They had a great series last season and have developed a nice rivalry since then. This one will be intense. Obviously, the Hawks will win in 6.

    As someone with no rooting interest in that series, I can't wait to see it either... Should be good skating hockey.

    I also like that both Vancouver and San Jose are there... hopefully Phoenix can get there too. Living on the east coast I love having that late game to watch. Hopefully the league staggers those series and doesn't put them on the same night.

    Hehe. It takes a big man to bet against the Coyotes.

    Not looking good for the Yotes so far -- getting lulled to sleep by a very disciplined team playing a very disciplined game.

    Yawn. This one has been pretty one-sided though. Can't wait until the Wings choke.

    70% of the Earth is covered by water, the other 30 is covered by Darren Helm.
