Chia owes us an explanation as to how the Bruins expect to win games if guys balk at the face off and Vanek has his feet up in Montreal.  Shame the season ended after game 1 and all we're left to do is sit and wait for our explanations.
 
Win,

Datsuyk's wife had a kid prior to game 3 too.   Why aren't NHL teams mailing condoms to all of their players July-Sept with messages that say "DO NOT GET ANYONE PREGNANT WHERE THE BIRTH COULD HAPPEN IN THE PLAYOFFS"

If Datsuyk/Kornwall is pulling normal dad duties in the hospital or at home I can't imagine how they could play at a high level.  Seriously some of the most exhausting weeks of my life.  Even assuming a full time nanny it can't be easy.

I gotta figure it's mostly old school for these guys.  They basically make appearances while the wife/MIL/nanny does the rest.

Long way to go until this game still fml. Slow day at the office too, which makes it even worse. Anyone have any good timewasting websites/strategies they wanna share? I'm starting to get the repeat webpages on Stumbleupon...

Maybe in Russia?

Going to be at the hospital later so doubtful I will be in the game thread.  
 
Therefore, I will drop this off here now:
 

 
And say:  Go B's!

Big words from Ference on the NBCSN pregame(paraphrase): "If Iginla had come to Boston last season, I'd have another ring."

Said the same thing on F&M.  Was more in a joking tone when he said it then as him and Iggy seem to be good friends based on their time together in Calgary.

Gustavsson in net. Whoa. Played well against the Bruins this season.
Babcock has balls, but this could blow up in his face. I thought Howard has played well. I don't understand this at all. Seems like he's making a move just to make a move.

Detroit claims it's the flu. 
 
I thought Howard was so/so. Shutout in game 1 but I didn't think he was tested too much. Games 2-3 I thought he was fighting it at times, but also came up with some real big saves to keep them in it.

I for one would like to see Babcock's balls blow up in his face. This post brought to you by Dr. Tobias Fünke.

Howard isn't on the bench, so he probably did get sick. Wonder if the Wings dress some random guy as the backup at some point.

It is the flu, Howard is not on the bench, Detroit does not have a back up goalie tonight according to Jack.

What the hell happens if the goalie's knee is blown up like the Buffalo goalie in game 81?

They can dress anyone they want. The goalie rules are different, they can pull a guy out of the crowd and stick him in the net. My guess is the goalie coach goes in net if something serious happened to Gustavsson and Howard was too ill to play (or not even at the building).
