Time to get the Finals going!
I'm hoping for a really good series. All these sweeps this year don't make for good hockey watching...

So far everyone who swept someone got swept themselves in the following series..

The days off didn't keep the Bruins from doing what they do ;-)

Binnington is very good, but the shot numbers just had to give Boston the upper hand.

 

[James]

Bruins woke from the slumber in the 2nd period.

 

[Wilhelmson]

Boston came out with some good shots at the beginning of the first period but then did seem to slow down for a while. I live 30 miles away from the Garden but could almost hear that hit from my house.

Helmet-less, but not hapless. ;-)

Ya think there are a bunch of teams going "Huh..maybe Krug isn't too small..."

Something about the size of the fight in a dog and the size of the dog in the fight, .... something like that I suppose.

Bears and dogs are much alike. DON'T POKE THE BEAR! ;-)

Let's go Blues!

Yes Guy-No Guy...was Evgeny "White Lines" Kuznetsov partaking or not???

Blues need to get it done tonight. They've been doing well on the road this post season.
I'd call it a must win game tonight.

 

[Wilhelmson]

Now we have a series. I think both teams forgot they were in the finals for half the game.

 

[James]

Is this Chara's last season? He's starting to get a little slow at times.

No that started last year. This year it's gotten worse. His reach and intimidation is what's left.

 

[scott43]

I'm pretty sure I heard something about Chara going again next year.. Could be wrong..but if you look at the numbers, he's still got it..

 

[James]

Maybe they should structure time off for him. Playoffs get brutal, though they did have that week off. It's actually amazing that someone so huge can play hockey at that level. It's like the Swiss skier Zenhausern who does slalom at 6'7" or Bryce Bennett who's the same height.
How old was Jagr when he retired?

I think Jagr is still playing in the KHL or in Czech. He's like 43 or something..Chelios was in his early 40's. Big Joe.. Chara is immensely strong..he actually plays pretty docile considering how strong he is. He's just not very mobile..I could probably go around him but he'd probably stick-check me or break his stick over my hands..

So now we move into the Blue's barn for two. What can we expect to see???

Bad blood.. Tough series..

Time to start a fight.... just don't try it against Chara.

Someone asked Maroon what he was saying to Chara in Game 2 at the bench..Maroon says "Nothing..you don't disrespect Chara..but I was letting them know we're here.."
