Boston / Caps series tied now as well...

Good match-ups in round one...

yeah it seems like this year the playoffs are going really well. Good matchups all around.

Now if the bruins could figure out how to actually get the puck anywhere between the hashmarks and the capitals goal cleanly maybe I could be happy....or if their goalie decides to give up a rebound

He's giving up rebounds, we just aren't in position to put them home.

thats the whole hashmarks to the goal business that they can not get any clean access too.

3-2 Pitt before either goalie has 10 saves. So horrible.

 

[Toro]

I'd like to congratulate the Pens and the Flyers for only allowing 5 goals in the first 35 minutes of the game.

 

[Montrovant]

The Wings are lucky this game is only 1-0. There have been some good chances for the Preds, and Howard has gotten himself out of position too often.

Need to pick it up NOW or it's all over.

 

[Montrovant]

The Pens come back from down 3-0 to make it 3-2, the Wings never really figure out Rinne and are done. Grats to the Preds for moving to the next round!

 

[Zander]

The Wings went on a major roll and set a league record 23 straight wins at home- unfortunately they peaked too early. Congrats to the Preds and especially to Pikka Rinne- he came up huge.

I wonder if Lidstrom will retire? My gut says no, he'll go one more season.

Nobody in Detroit thinks Lidstrom will come back. And there are a lot of rumors about ill feeling between Babcock and some of the Swedes on the team.

Congrats to the Preds, BTW. Wings had plenty of opportunity but Nashville took theirs better and had sensational goaltending - a winning combination.

With the possible exception of a starting pitcher, I can think of no other team sport where a single player has so much influence in the result of game as does a goalie in playoff hockey.

Fuck this game has my stomach doing flips.

That's not a good sign.

 

[Lumpy 1]

The Sharks are down to what a 7.87 % chance of winning this round, only a crazy guy would bet on those odds... I'm crazy...

I'm not gonna lie, I thought the Bruins season was over when Beagle put Washington up 2-0.

Well the season was fun while it lasted.

I don't see the Bruins overcoming this loss.

You're a perfect liberal- if winning doesn't come easy - you give up.

Yo, Zander, I don't know if you know this but there's sort of an unspoken "no politics in the sports forum" rule.

That's some weak shit from you.

I love it when a barb digs into the skin......

It was a joke Art- lighten up and have a beer.

PS- the Bruins ain't out yet....

Yeah, not funny and poor form.

Bruins are a very tough out. Even down 3-2, I wouldn't put money on them being eliminated.

Based on what I've been seeing I would.

They might have lost Bergie today too.
