Go Bolts!
On the night my alma mater Denver University Pioneers hockey team won a record setting 10th NCAA National Championship, my Boston Bruins played a respectable nationally televised Game Of The Week against the Pittsburg Penguins, winning 6-4.
Boston probably isn't going to win the Presidents' Trophy this year but as they showed last year that trophy isn't worth bean bag wrt winning the Stanley Cup...
Cheers!

The real season begins. LGR!
@day_trippr , ESPN seems to like the Maple Leafs as the dark horse upset cup winner. They are split on that first round with the Bruins.
In my ideal world , the Rangers breeze past the Caps and then face the Isles in the second round to set up an original six of American teams in the Conference Finals with the Bruins. And finally, a Cup rematch with Vancouver.
BTW, if you never attended a Ranger playoff game at MSG, watch this - John Amiranti (RIP) singing the National Anthems for game 7 1994 - to give you any idea what's it like. (USA anthem at about 2 minutes in).

I'm not liking the Bruin's chances at this point. They totally drifted into the playoffs, which doesn't inspire much confidence...
Yup. We don't have the confidence or the Presidents Cup.

I can't complain about a 4-1 win in a decently played game by Boston.
On to Game 2!
On to Game 2!
Could be worse. I’m a Flyers fan. Trust me I know worse.
After a disappointing Game 2 at home the Bruins went up to Toronto and pulled out a 4-2 win, pretty much on the backs of Brad Marchand and goalie Jeremy Swayman. Really entertaining game because right now these two teams really do not like each other and it shows 
I really don’t have much stake in this years playoffs but if Bobrovsky plays like he did last night the Panthers will go far.
If you love hockey you gotta love Marchand...

You ******. I could say more, but that is all. Oh, go bolts.
Another solid - dare I say dominant - game by Boston, to take the win 3-1 and now lead the series 3-1.
Brad Marchand again was a key player, putting a goal and a superb assist on the board. He's one open-net playoff goal away from setting a league record (he had a couple of billiard shots just miss tonight) that he's currently tied with Gretzky.
Series comes back to Boston on Tuesday. I'll be surprised if it doesn't end there...
Oh, congrats to the Lightning for avoiding being swept out of the playoffs in the first round

Good luck tonight @day_trippr If we get past the Canes, a Bruins-Rangers Conference Final should be epic. Get er done
I have to say it's feeling a lot like 2023 right now 
PASTAMANIA!
Bruins win game 7 in OT and avoid the ignomy of blowing yet another First Round 3-1 lead and a Game 7 ejection from the playoffs.
Whew!
[edit] Been lots of comments about the announcers' prescience...

Fan-capture of Pasta series winning goal from up high in the arena for a different angle...
Game 1 between the Bruins and the Panthers is in the books with Boston winning 5-1 in a pretty comfortable outing for them.
Very satisfying win especially considering the Bruins had all of one day off while the Panthers have been waiting for a week...
Cheers!

Brandon Carlo's wife popped out their second child Sunday night but he still managed to get to the game and scored an insurance goal...
fwiw, decent review of Game 1...

And game 2 of the Bruins / Panthers went just the opposite direction. It started getting chippy in the third, lots of fights getting going.
If the B's want to move on they need to start hitting pucks and not faces.
something like 3 shots in the last 25+ minutes of play, and the Panthers scored 6 times unanswered.

I confess when the score went to 4-1 Florida I switched off the game in favor of some time behind the wheel of my driving sim system. Read about the rest of the last period this morning. Yikes!
Bruins got a split, so that's something...

Not looking for the Bruins, now down 3-1 and out shot by the Panthers by some crazy number (down 100 shots over 4 games?) Florida is just so strong on offense I don't see the series coming back to Boston after game 5...
Bruins really tested my cardiac health tonight but they (and I) managed to hold on in the end with the Bruins winning Game 5 2-1 in a pretty rugged outing for both teams. And Swayman proved he is still the goalie for this team with a crazy good performance, especially during the 3 minutes at the end when Florida pulled their goalie.
Back to Boston!

Looks like the Bruins will be hitting the links as they could not stop the Panthers tonight, losing 2-1 in a hard played game to close the series out 4-2.
Good luck to Florida!

Go Panthers !
That was a fun game to watch even for someone like me who doesn't GAF about either team
It was close the whole way and the Oilers had plenty of chances.
Congrats to the Panthers!
