I’ve long been on the Aho for Captain train once Staal hangs them up or god forbid Rod lets him go, but after a series like that I think Slavin has a better case. Plenty of time but Slavin showed this series he is our best player.

Slavin is a guy I can see finishing his career here, aging well even after his peak, and having the temperament to be a one of the most respected captains in the league.

I just realized something while typing that sentence. Slavin is the Ron Francis of defensemen, isn’t he?

Was at the Checkers game so just watching now...3rd period they're just gonna let Boston do anything they want without even glancing at the penalty box? Who was it that got hurt... didn't see a replay? Flying elbows, dirty trips, chopping guys up high, this is stupid levels of blind reffing
The Bruins are a dirty team. In other news, the sun rose this morning.

Can we skip the meh GM portion in 15 years?

GD there were a lot of uncalled 100% obvious easy penalties in the 3rd, literally refused to call anything on Boston...crooked f***ing officiating. Glad our guys survived without injury! On to round 2! Now find a way to win some road games
Rod has some work to do for sure. Losing every game on the road will NOT cut it next round.

F*CK BOSTON. IT WASN'T EASY BUT WE HAD OUR VENGEANCE. THANK YOU @MrazeksVengeance
Vengeance is never easy. BUT IT ALWAYS FEELS RIGHT.
THANK YOU @MrazeksVengeance
NENÍ ZAČ.
Yes, thank you. @MrazeksVengeance. You now have to make the next GDTs
THAT’S… WHY I AM HERE.
Man it's nice to get that monkey off our backs.

On to the next one. Looks like @MrazeksVengeance is our new fearless GDT leader!
ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.

Just got home to here on the coast. Sheriff Bart and I took care of business today. Awesome tailgate.

I'm still all amped up and ready for some more live playoff hockey.

Raanta is my guy that gets best player for the first round, even though he broke once. Tony D-Slavin would arguably be tied for that spot as well.

Just got home from being on the road all day.

About to pour a very stiff victory drink and finally settle in and watch the game. Glad to see the guys make it out without any serious injuries. Watched some of Ranttas presser and couldn't be any happier for that guy.

Also caught some clips of Bergerons presser, man what a guy. If he hangs them up BOS could potentially go through a little bit of a rough patch. When Chara left Bergeron embodied what it was to lead that team, I've always felt like he really took the reigns when the big man left and took over as the heart and soul of that team. Who do they hand it off to? No Chara, no Bergeron really feels like the end of an era, with no obvious replacement. Two of the players I've always respected the most, playing for one of the teams I've always hated the most.

Boston was a tough matchup for the Canes. It really was weird it turned out neither team could win on the road.

But that's done.

yep. I was thinking we MIGHT take either game 3 or 4 up there and take the series in 5, but that was the hottest team in the league aside from Florida prettymuch from mid-February on. For my money they were the second best defensive team in the league this year outside of us. They were going to be a problem for whoever drew them. The flip side is almost every Bs fan I know said that we were basically their worst case scenario draw in the first round.
