How in the hell was that a Boston power play? That's absolute bullshit, giving Boston another goal after the linesman keeps the puck onside for their first goal. Wow, guys. Outstanding.

That was a really frustrating game to watch. The Canes were dominating that game through the 2nd period and then get sloppy in the third. Dumbass mistakes and bullshit officiating and the game flips in a minute. The Staal penalty which led to the tying goal was such a bad penalty, he should know better too. The two Dougie Hamilton penalties were ridiculous though. Even beyond the penalties though, I just had a feeling that at the end of the 2nd we should of been up 2 or 3 goals and it was going to bite them in the end. Credit to Rask for keeping it a 1 goal game.

Canes and Bruins so fun to watch. Really like when two top tier offenses go head to head. Really makes games volatile and exciting.

Reffing calls were painfully atrocious in the first game, slightly reminiscent of the stench of bias in the first or second Leafs game in Boston in R1. I like Chara but fuck Boston, go Canes now. I like Canes coach and their chances with how they played last night, provided their coach doesnt have a stroke from the stress.

So I dont know if you guys realised this, but Boston's big four teams all went to the playoff this year. Red Sox and Pats won. Thankfully the Celtics just got eliminated, so they cant complete the "Grand Slam" of winning all four. However, that alone makes me hope for Boston to lose. Any of the other teams left would be just fine by me.

Also, I did not know that the Blues have never won the Cup. Holy shit.

Jesus fuck, Couture is having an unreal playoffs.

Think Sid and Ovechkin have the highest goal totals for a playoffs in the last 20 years or so with 15 each. Couture already at 13 through only 2 games of the WCF. He could threaten the all time record of 19 this year if Sharks go to the Finals.

I fucking hate Boston, but this series is obviously over. It's too bad, not just because I hate Boston, but because they're likely going to sweep it, and I want long series for more hockey!

I'm pulling hard for the Blues now. If not the Blues, anyone but Boston. Sorry Boston fans. You've had enough success in your city this year.

Jesus Boston is definitely playing better then Carolina, but Rask is robbing them of so many great chances.

Carolina stinks.

I agree. I think it's Carolina being not as good as we thought vs Boston is this good.

Ok...Boston gets what, at least a week to rest before SJ and SL are done? I personally don't like that, but I guess the old men can use the rest. Rask is my biggest worry. Who the fuck knows what you get from him after a weeks rest. Though I gotta admit, he's playing great as of now.

Sharks, Bruins will be a helluva series.

I feel like if Holtby just doesn't shit the bed in Game 7 we're watching a much better Caps/Bruins ECF

They should give the ref that miscalled Vegas on that major a real big bonus when they win the cup 2:^)

That call is why I have a hard time rooting for SJ. On the other hand, I think they have the best chance of beating Boston and would be a better SCF to boot. If the blues win I probably wont bother tuning in until an elimination game. I'm kind of already over these playoffs anyway at this point.

If they win they win. I can’t really root for the canes after seeing them take out Oshie.



I’ll root for the sharks or blues but...
