Around the NHL - Part XLI - (Playoffs Edition)

[LeetchisGod]

All hate aside, both us and the debbies have looked good at times. Have to think the winner will be one of the top 3 favorites

Both teams have been inconsistent, and would have to step up a lot from what we've seen to make the finals.

There obviously are some leadership issues in Boston. This wouldn't have happened under Chara. Was there anything more selfish than Bergeron rushing himself back from injury and playing hobbled? The team was in great shape before that.

 

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

I hate to be this guy, but I really think whoever wins our Game 7 is the favorite to come out of our Conference now. I've maintained that the strongest teams in the East are the Bruins, Debs, and Rangers, in that order.


And on that note, if the Panthers can beat the Bruins, what's our excuse?! GET IT DONE

Edmonton and whoever wins tomorrow are my top 2 picks, easily

Is it safe to say that the Panthers made the Bruins their, uh, Alewife?

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

All these road teams winning in overtime....that doesn't bode well for us in New Jersey

Winner of this series will most likely beat the Canes in the 2nd round.

The Rangers would have to stop taking periods and games off first.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

I hope the Kraken beat the shit out of Georgiev

 

[Machinehead]

I hope this gives people more of an appreciation for random this league is and shows that, yes, luck and goaltending magic can last the whole season.

We went multiple seasons having runs with bad teams behind Hank.

Bruins off-season is going to be very interesting.
6 UFA forwards, plus Orlov on D, plus Swayman needs a new deal.
They also have no picks until the 3rd round this year, and none until the 4th next year...

 

[duhmetreE]

I remember hearing that there was a bug going around the Boston locker room. It's a poor excuse but a lot of there players looked flat. McAvoy and Lindholm looked pedestrian

Their forward group were average all season imo. Were would they be without Bertuzzi?

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Does anyone have a video of the hit on Cogliano.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

I want to make the Jack Edwards call of that GWG into my new ringtone.

Omg....post it here please.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

If Toronto doesn’t come out of the east this year they never will.

 

[Jim Ramsay]

Just wow, the path is there

Boston-done
Tampa-done
Avs-almost done tonight?

Things are breaking in the Rangers favor big time. Lets do what needs to be done tomorrow..

Tampa losing to a better team does not exactly improve the path.

 

[will1066]

It was the first time Boston lost 3 in a row this season

We've had a long regular season and had to play 82 games.

 

[Graves97]

How much of that thought is due to the level of the opposition. my biggest concern for whoever plays the Canes, at least early on, will be thee potential emotional let down. It’s very obvious the debbies want this series because of their little brother syndrome. While the rangers were able to battle back last game after they were embarrassed in game 5. I can see either team heading into game 1 and maybe even 2 being emotionally exhausted and needing some time to get back to their current levels

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Oh, the humanity, Jack.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Boston. No killer instinct!

 

[RangerLifer]

All these road teams winning in overtime....that doesn't bode well for us in New Jersey

Why? We're the road team tomorrow night.
