I watched the whole fricken game last night, I am not getting sucked into watching another one.

This whole series has Bruins/Habs written all over it. And I'm not saying it has us advancing, but the series with the Flyers reminds me of every series we've had with the Habs the past few years.

I KNOW!

I'm really worried. At least they scored in the third period last night. Otherwise it would have been six straight periods with no score. I'm hoping the Celtics get an easy win tonight and transition that luck to the Bruins for the next night.

Being a quasi Magic fan, if we play the Cav's we would wipe with floor with them...Celtics/Magic would be good series

Now their goalie is playing like ours did, seems like they all just switched uniforms after game three, they are out skating, hustleing us now

It really has been a total 180. Some people have been suggesting putting in Thomas in the past two games. I don't know. Definitely fucks with the karma of the team right now, but maybe just one game to git r done and give Rask some breathing time.

To be honest the first two games were pretty even. Though the last 2 games your team went up to Rask and said, "Hey kid, you have been great, we got this lead, we are going to rest up for the ECF, just do your best for us and we will try and get that one goal to win." Rask has and is continuing to play amazing, if the rest of the Bruins show up for Game 7 they can win this, but all the momentum is with the Flyers now and they have the clear advantage going into Game 7. Also, all the pressure is on the Bruins. They had the 3-0 lead and let it slip.

Also, this is similar to the Red Sox in '04. They win the 1st elimination game in extra innings and they make a historic comeback and win Game 7 on the road. Let's see if the Flyers can copy that in Boston. Either way, this has been one hell of a series to watch and both teams have played their asses off. I can't wait for Friday.

True, the Bruins defense has not been making it easy on Rask.

I don't think you can sit Rask right now -- he's the only thing that kept last night's game from being 3-0 Flyers in the first period.

Even with a 3-0 series lead, the games had been incredibly close prior to Game Four. At this point, 4 of the 6 have been decided by one goal, with 2 going to OT. Honestly, I think Philly is a much better team than Boston (probably biased, but I think I'd feel that way regardless), the B's got the breaks in the first two games which really could have gone either way, and now that the Flyers have tightened the screws and started playing two-way hockey, they're going to be very, very tough to beat tomorrow night.

Should be a great game regardless. I'm hoping Philly does what the Habs did last night (i.e. big lead early), but I'm expecting a very close contest.

[TempHelpNeeded]

It will be close, but if Flyers come out and score first, I fear it's over for Boston. I have extreme confidence in them, but first to score has set the pace of this series.


I don't want Thomas, it's too late for that now. Rask will do just fine. I just hope Stuart, Wideman, etc. don't keep giving away the puck in the defensive zone.

Really, it's just been Hunwick on the defensive end. Wideman was the best overall d-man last night for the B's.

No Thomas. Tuukka has been playing great. It's not his fault the B's can't score.

[rickyh24]

People suggesting to play Thomas need to get a fucking clue That would be a horrible move.

Exactly right. If Philly was just piling up goals it would be a different story, but as I said before the only reason it wasn't 3-0 Flyers after the first period last night was because of Rask's play.

It'll be interesting to see how the Bruins approach the game tomorrow. Philly just needs to keep doing what it's doing and they should have a strong hold on the game from the start, unless the Bruins can adjust to match the Flyers' intensity and two-way play. I just think the Flyers are the better team overall, and now it's starting to show.

[LaDude]

Go Bruins!

Put some biscuits in the basket tonight!

TUUUUUKKAAAAAAAAA!!!!

[LaDude]

Good start for the B's!!!!

[LaDude]

Lucic!!!!!!!!!

[LaDude]

WTF! Awful.

Great series. Philly wanted it more.

Go Celtics!

[JRS1386]

This series was phenomenal. Boston will be good for years to come, Rask is the real deal.

[TempHelpNeeded]

Where's the Big Scary Man/Guy when you need him?

Having the #2 pick will help. Still a complete choke job though. They better be embarrassed.

Unfortunately she cares about Hockey as much as I do.

My guess; the Oilers will take Hall.

[rickyh24]

Yeah they will. Either way its a win win.

[dduncan6er]
