What a lackluster period for the Bs. I don't know where the hell Jack Edwards is getting this "both teams are executing at a pretty high level" bullshit. This matchup continues to scare the shit out of me.
 
The Red Wings are multiple orders of magnitude better than either Tampa or Columbus, and it sucks balls that the Penguins & Canadiens get virtual cakewalks, Montreal's OT opener notwithstanding.

the bruins always get fucking screwed with first round matchups it feels like. They got Detroit this year, Washington two years ago and Montreal 3 year ago. They always seem to get their worst possible matchup, save for last year

Ouch! Would you like some crushed nuts on your sundae?  Good luck icing that down between periods.

I thought I heard the announcers saying that the Lucic cheap shot was retaliation for something DeKeyser or the Wings did to Chara. Did I mishear that?

Why did they put that soundbite in for D&C about women's basketball being more popular than the NHL when they play that commercial a ton during B's games?

Wouldn't surprise me.  Though it's also Lucic so the infraction could've been smudging his Puma's or something of that nature.

I don't think we see Paille anytime soon. Getting Kelly and Miller back for G2 would be big. Anyone ideas on what happened to Miller?

Man does Caron suck.
 
He is the first thing I think of when they talk about expansion. That's the kind of guy that is suddenly playing every day with expansion.
 
Also, fucking score.

Jack's calling this game like a used car salesman. Frankly, I'm not in the mood for this much homer-ism.

Thornton had a fucking easy pass to Campbell who could have walked in. Nope, fires a slapshot instead. Idiot.

God if Thornton made that dead simple pass to Campbell he would've been in alone. Bad decision.
 
Jesus. Get a room already.
