I think TT would guarantee a cup.

Gagne!

Gagne is doing great... But TB is losing. I can deal with that trade off.

lol I was pissed because I missed most of the game last night. Turned it on for a bit and Tampa was up 1-0. Turned it back on later with a few minutes left. Boston's D looks tough.

They showed up to play last night. Our PP is just pathetic.

Top'o'the mornin to you all. Good game to watch last night. Congrats to the Bruins and their fans, a well deserved win. The refs let them play for the most part (at least better then what we've seen out west the last couple). Interesting that Julien put Chara out there to park in front on the PP. Trying to shake things up, I guess. (I didn't envy Smith trying to see around that monster). It's almost a case where the B's might want to decline penalties to keep the fans from booing. Anyway, enjoyable game with great goals and great saves. That one by TT in the third on Downie, was it? That was unbelievable.

Just for fun, I've got a hypothetical. We all know if you leave your feet to make a hit, it's a charge but if Marty St. Louis hit Chara, he would have no choice or it would be clipping the legs so he would get a penalty anyway. Of course if he does jump up, he'd probably just bounce off anyway. This occurred to me when I saw St. Louis going in on a forecheck last night. He looked like a midget beside Chara.

The Bruins power play is the second worst power play I have ever seen.

 

[SLY]

lol... I like the idea of Chara screening on the PP. As far as that little troll, I have no idea.

Yup, there's bad and then there's Calgary Flames PP bad...

I was thinking about a mens league hockey team I played on. We gave up about 20 shorthanded goals in a 40 game season. But if you want to throw the Flames in there then the third worst.

The Flyers tried this last year in the playoffs with Pronger. They seemed to have some success with it.

The Pens PP had a lower percentage than the Bruins these playoffs, even when comparing to the same number of opportunities.

The difference the Bruins are healthy

Make sure Chara keeps his arms glued to his sides or they will take any goals away

Ok, where was your outrage when Horton hit Downie in game 4? You can't have it both ways

What the punch to the face when they was standing face to face with each other?

I dont consider that cheap.

Downie knew what he was doing and made the coward play and hit Boychuck from behind. He is a coward like Carcillo.

News reports say that Boychuck is ok and will be in.

 

[SLY]

Great news. Can't afford any injuries tonight. They better keep their heads up tonight. That dirty piece of shit looked like he had some malicious intent on his mind at the closing horn last game. If we jump out to a lead and he takes a cheap shot, they better stomp his ass good.

 

[Automattic]

Good luck tonight, boys and girl.

Let's go Broo-ins!! (clap clap clapclapclap)
