Let's Go Rangers!!!

I hope this series will be sweet revenge from 2 seasons ago.

I stopped watching hockey after the strike a few years ago but this season has sparked interest again since the Bruins are playing well. I love seeing the Bruins and Habs go at it but the Habs have been owning them for several years. It's time to change this around!

Boston didn't win a game against the habs this year 0-8. Should be a quick series

0-7-1, dick.

 

[tucker01]

Still a loss.

I'm going to pissed if any Red Sox games get bounced by NESN to show a homo Bruins game.

Go Red Wings!!

 

[seyone]

Flyers up 2-1

Well hopefully Montreal will knock the Bruins out already so the Red Sox can return to NESN HD. I had to watch them on some Comcast spillover channel last night was not in HD.

See, I hate that attitude.

You could have never seen a hockey game in your life and every game in this series would have completely sucked you in for life. If only the Sunday game wasn't competing with Sox/Yanks...

In other NHL news, there are some excellent series going on. Overtime games a plenty, competitive series, parody in the league... It's a great year for the NHL Playoffs.. If only I could watch the games...

 

[tucker01]

Except the Bruins suck balls.

 

[soxmuscle]

Except the Bruins suck balls.

The Bruins could very easily be leading in this series.

There have been horseshit calls including a ridiculous penalty call in overtime in game 2 that gave the Habs the 2 man advantage.. in fucking overtime! swallow the refs like you swallow cock you stupid fucks!

Outside of those two early goals in game 1 (something all to familiar with Tim Thomas at times) the Bruins have played with them all series.

Carey Price is a complete stud. We're seeing the next Roy and as bad as this is to say coming from a Bruins fan, I'll be rooting for him once they beat the Bruins in seven.. ha..

 

[tucker01]

Carey Price is unreal and 20 years old at that. So mature looking in net.

 

[soxmuscle]

He's my age.

Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing with my life...

If the Bruins were on Versus, that'd be cool.

Hell of a finish to that Sharks/Flames game yesterday.

 

[tucker01]

He's my age.

I know you lazy fuck.... get on it already.

The Sharks/Flames series is awesome. Did anyone see Marleau get rocked on Sunday night?

That was the hit of the playoffs so far.

Oh and... go fuck yourself.

 

[soxmuscle]

I love lamp... or I mean the Bruins.

 

[shiznit2169]

Unbelievable game by the Bruins and the Canadiens tonight. Probably one of the best hockey games i have ever seen. Just incredible!

no kidding. they went back and forth scoring. great game.

 

[soxmuscle]

A great game that I won money on.

What a win for the B's, I could just feel it.

 

[tucker01]

So do they pull the amazing win tonite and comeback from 3-0?

 

[I Are Baboon]

I don't care who wins tonight, but it's going to be fun to watch!! There aren't too many more exciting events than an NHL playoff game 7!

And Iain, the B's were 'only' down 3-1, not 3-0.

 

[soxmuscle]

I'm not nearly as confident on the road as I was Saturday at home, but IMO all the pressure is on Montreal.

If they lose, this team will be known as the team that made Bruins hockey relevant again.

If they win, I'll be ecstatic and not only will they have made hockey relevant again, but they will have upset the #1 seeded Canadiens who they had lost 13 straight to. Truly incredible...

It's interesting - I almost expect the Celts to do their thing in the playoffs and anything but the best is a disappointment. With this team, I expected nothing and these three wins have been roller coaster rides of emotion.

If you watched Saturdays game, there isn't a doubt in my mind that people would be drawn in. Gotta love playoff hockey...

 

[natural^]

bruins lost. carey price was damn good. sorry soxmuscle, least ya still got the celts in the playoffs for nba.

 

[soxmuscle]

Again, like I said earlier today... their is zero disappointment in this team. It just sucks its over... What a tease..

If you had told me without Patrice Bergeron for the entire series, without Kessel for three games (a healthy scratch and I'm not talking about scratching my head) and Zdeno Chara playing with a torn labrum... I don't even know if whats before this makes sense, but shit, this team should have never been in this series at all.

Basically, I compare it to the Hawks forcing seven games with the Celts.

 

[soxmuscle]

One last thing...

I love Carey Price and you got to respect Saku Koivu and some other Canadiens, but the way the majority of this team plays is downright pathetic.

How many diving calls were called in the NHL all season? I'd be shocked if Montreal didn't have more in this serious than the entire NHL had all season.

Dude, it was an 8 seed?

I'm going to burn down a building when the Celtics beat the Hawks.
