Playoff Hockey!

[passedpawn]

Ok the boys took care of business last night! With three games under their belt, hopefully Saturday in Tampa we can put this series to bed!

Man did you see Kuch drop Sami. Wow what a hit. Pretty close to a game suspension for head hit, but they ruled against it. Devils might come out hard Saturday. Wish we still had Andre Roy. That guy was a peacekeeper (the sawed-off-shotgun variety).

That was a huge hit! Glad they let it go ruled it was not a violation. Did you see Coburn upend and dump Coleman into the Devil's bench! That was huge too! Here is a look:

Haha, yes, that was super awesome. To his credit, Coleman bounced right back onto the ice and kept going. Those guys are tough. Miller, who has been a super great acq, got a puck to the face in the 2nd period, went to the lockerroom, and was back on the ice at the beginning of 3rd period with 13 stitches. So tough. He was bleeding a little during Game 4.

Meanwhile, Toronto is officially on thin ice, after game four turned on a dime late in the 2nd with Marchand scoring on a beaut of an odd-man rush.
Elimination games start Saturday...

Cheers!

Broke my heart. Toronto was dominating the puck for most of that game. The D was just cheating too many times and got caught. Good game though.

Tuukka had a great game, there were at least a few highlight reel saves that kept Boston in it when the momentum could have swung 180°.

And it was a weird game, what with the B's jumping in front in the first half minute, then watching Rask stone the Leafs for what seemed like forever as they rained shots on him before they finally tied it up. Then a lot more Rask, and finally the Marchand score that seemed to let the air out of Toronto a bit. From that point I think the Bruins had things mostly under control.

tbh I think this ends Saturday. The B's have everything going in their favor - especially if Bergeron can go...

Cheers!

The Bolts closed out the series with the Devils! My wife and I were at a wedding and in the waiting area of the reception in the other room there was a huge screen tv near the bar. Guess what everyone was doing..... "I will be right there honey gotta get another drink from the bar" (taking my sweet time so I can catch some of the game multiple times). So at one point she is like "I know you don't drink that much" for as many times as me and the other guys were getting up and going into the other room. She then had to use the restroom and went into the other room and we all got busted watching the game. To my defense the groom was with us!

 

[day_trippr]

hahahaha! I've done a lot of sneaking out to the public bars during weddings held in close proximity. One does what one must

I'm feeling a bit concerned about my Bruins having to go at least 6.
They came out flat yesterday and got run over in the 1st, and all the good 2nd and 3rd period work went for naught.
Bad juju...

I know what you mean about them opening the door, I was hoping the Lightning would snap back after dropping one to the Devils. The Bruins are an awesome team with so much talent. I really think they will rise to the occasion. But if they don't I won't be upset cause they will give the Bolts a run for their money!

Bolts/Bruins is gonna be epic.

 

[jcav]

Yes Sir! What a series that will be. Gonna have to strap ourselves in for that wild ride!

Flyers eliminated, unfortunately the Philadelphia fans tried to bean players with full cans of beer thrown from the stands on to the ice.
The worst part is, no one is really surprised when people act that way.
BTW, it looked like most of the cans thrown were Bud Light.

 

[day_trippr]

I watched that game until it was clearly out of hand.
I expect nothing less from a city that set itself on fire after winning a Super Bowl...

 

[jcav]

That's crazy...Should never happen. What's wrong with people today? On a lighter note if they served craft beer in cans maybe no one would throw them.....

 

[day_trippr]

If they meet
Leafs took timely advantage of Bruin's mistakes on D and forced Game 7.
Don't care that'll be at "home", still not happy...

Cheers anyway

Tuukka, Tuukka, Tuukka ... sux

Man, would be nice for my Bolts to face the Leafs instead of Bruins. Clearly they are both good teams, but I'd rather take my chances against Andersen than that unrelenting Boston offense.

Exactly what I was thinking.......

[day_trippr]

I dunno, there's been a lot of "relenting" by the Bs the last couple of games
Hoping for the best but I've been around too long to ignore momentum...

Cheers!

Home ice advantage. Just throw the full beer cans BEFORE the game if you want to be effective. Philly dumbys, derp.

Totally watching the big game tomorrow night. Gotta love the suspense and tension of a game 7! I'll be thinking of you trippr!

Should be a treat. I watched last night and it was a little insane.

I think it would also be nice for my Leafs to face your Bolts.

I go to a lot of games. If any of you out-of-towners come to one of the Lightning playoff games, PM me and I'll buy you a beer at Amalie Arena if I'm there.

 

[jcav]

Lot's of luck to your Leafs as well! I am glad we are sitting on this side of the fence and we just have to wait to see who we play next!

Big game 7 puck drop any moment now! Good Luck trippr!

Holy cow the first period was exhausting
Bruins need to cut the mistakes way the eff down if they're going to survive this series...

Nuts. Can't continue at this pace.

Crazy!

I don't care which team wins as long as they do it in OT.
