    yup

    Only one game tonight. Who does everyone think the flyers will start in goal?

    Boucher: http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/nhl/news/story?id=6465887
  • Raw Dawgin' it
    Definitely their best shot at winning.
  • Raw Dawgin' it
    Adam McQuaid almost broke his neck on a missed check...tough to watch.

    Bruins vs flyers

    2-2 after one
  • gorocks99
    Boucher has to leave with an injury midway through the 2nd and Bobrovsky is in net for the Flyers. I was sooooo wrong about their revolving door ending this series.

    What a game! tim thomas had 52 saves! bruins win it 3-2 in OT take a 2-0 series lead.

    If the B's take a 3-0 lead how uncomfortable will fans in Boston be, lol. They may be hoping for a Flyers win just bc they fear losing another 3-0 lead.

    I keed.

    No way that happens twice. But i'll take a 3-0 series lead any day of the week.

    I would like to win back some of my cash before I have to pay up tomorrow. I took a big hit taking the Caps in game 1, thinking Tampa would be gassed, having won a Gm 7 on the road then starting a the next series w a rested top seed soon after.

    Haven't been able to see much hockey this wk due to work. Someone pick me some winners tonight 

    From my understanding Van has dominated so far. Can Nsh and maybe more importantly Rhinne carry the mo to game 3?

    Can a reportedly uninspired Crapitols team get done on the road what they couldn't do at home? This is basically a must win. Can they crack the TB D or will the Bolts strangle the life out the craps post season hopes and Brucey B's career in DC?

    I think that stuff is way overrated now with the way the playoffs are structured, giving teams at least a day rest before each game.

    Nashville and Vancouver is too close to put money on. Actually, i wouldn't put money on any playoff game especially if you have to bet against a spread.

    Also, Roloson is playing lights out for the Lightning right now. I think the Caps take one game on the road then lose the series in either game 5 or 6.

    Bruins take a two game lead back home too and I have the same prediction about them as i do the Caps and Lightning. Split the next two then Bruins winning the 5th or 6th

    That and I don't know that being rested is of any benefit to a team unless they need someone to get healthy. During the regular season, you get into a routine of playing 3-4 games most weeks, so I could see having five days off before Tampa as being a negative for the Caps --- especially when playing a hot team that just won three straight (two on the road) must-win games.

    Look at what the long lay off did to Detroit. They've been flat the past 2 games.

    Also, if Boohoodreau loses this series I can see him getting canned.

    All but Jimmy Howard.

    Seems as if the long lay offs only help in the NFL.

    Lightning take the lead 4-3 scoring 2 goals in a hurry in the 3rd period.
  • Tiger2003
    Well now they are reviewing it but it looks like a good goal to me.
  • Tiger2003
    It is ruled a goal....

    4-3 Tampa with 14:00 left in the game looking to go up 3-0 on the Caps.
  • End of Line
    Damn that was the quick.

    2 goals in 15secs.!
  • Speedofsand
    Lightning strikes twice fast. 3-0, one more to go.
  • End of Line
    LOLongo with one the worst dives I've ever seen at the end of the fist period.

    Capitals make a big late season push to steal 1st in the east and choke again. So i guess if you beat beat pitt or washington in the first round it's pretty much a guarantee you'll beat the other in the second.

    Bruins look to repeat last year and take a 3-0 lead against the flyers...except without the epic collapse this year.
