I’ll never understand why refs don’t throw a guy in the box for nonsense like that. The game is over set a standard
Heh, had the exact same thought to that comment."First game of what should be a long series"
Should it, though?
Was thinking the same thing. What from that game made you think this will be a long series. Not saying they won’t win a game or 2, but the B’s looked like the far superior team."First game of what should be a long series"

Dominant.Final 5v5 numbers:
58-30 attempts
35-11 chances
12-2 high-danger chances
3.27 to 0.81 expected goals (80.1%)
Reminds me a bit of last time's Canes.Isles try hard but they don’t have the horses.
Bruins dominated.
A six game series probably would qualify as a long series though.Was thinking the same thing. What from that game made you think this will be a long series. Not saying they won’t win a game or 2, but the B’s looked like the far superior team.
As long as it doesn’t feel like a long series, my liver can only take so muchA six game series probably would qualify as a long series though.
Can't root for the Stinking Habs if you're a Bruins fan.It's fun knowing that either Les Habs will be out or the Leafs will be on the verge of yet another collapse.
Sir, thank you for the appropriate number of pitbulls on this post.
Definitely wasn't rooting for them, it was just nice knowing that either result would cause one of those fan bases to flip out. And now they need to do the quick turnaround and play tomorrow.Can't root for the Stinking Habs if you're a Bruins fan.
Schedule I'm seeing is Monday.Definitely wasn't rooting for them, it was just nice knowing that either result would cause one of those fan bases to flip out. And now they need to do the quick turnaround and play tomorrow.
Hmm, I guess you're right. Could have sworn I saw a schedule with a quick turnaround for game 7, but now I see it scheduled for Monday.Schedule I'm seeing is Monday.
I live in South Philly. I know Blue Meanie's corner bar. I've had beers with him. Really, really, really nice guy!I thought the BWO was the Blue World Order, with the Blue Meanie?
It’s nice to play a team that isn’t looking to leave their skates to check high at every opportunity as well. Caps are a bunch of cheap shot artists that force teams to keep their heads on a swivel.One thing that jumped out so far between this series and last is the lack of scrums around the net post whistle. The hooking call on Ritchie was pretty soft, but overall the refs were a non-factor and hopefully that remains true the rest of the way.
Bergerons line came out of nearly every board battle with the puck, completed nearly every pass, kept nearly every clearing attempt in the ozone, stopped nearly every play in the dzone and turned nearly every offensive opening into a scoring opportunity. I suspect the numbers can say otherwise, but considering the time of year and strength of opponent, I don't think I've ever seen them so dominant.A dominating win. Islanders had no answer for Bruins top two lines. Bergeron line out-chanced NYI 23-6 & Krejci line out-chanced them 17-7.

Yeah at one point they called him a "perfect hockey player". I mean...praise doesn't get higher than that.It was a 37 sploogefest on the broadcast, and it was completely deserved. He's amazing.
