2018-19 Stanley Cup - Bruins vs Blues

[captain insano]

Amen!
We knew coming into this one we were looking at a 6-7 game series but would it be too much to ask not to have to face two well rested opponents in a row?

all the bruins have to do is win. i dont worry about any team with dougie hamilton on it.

...and people freaked out when he left.

What a dog.

I wanted to give Rask some props for last night. He didn't steal the game, IMO, because of the way the scoring played out, but he was brilliant, and he made sure that Bob wouldn't be able to steal it.

So.... Mr. Rask

I am not going to complain about Tuukka any more. He's the reason we've won two games in this series and been close in the two losses. The rest of the team has looked underwhelming for large swaths of this series, but luckily, the Blue Jackets are having almost as much trouble as us scoring.

Can the B's win the cup?

The Pat's did.

Definitely up for post of the year.

I still think the series is a complete coin toss. Sure the Bruins have 2 of 3 remaining at home but they’re just .500 at home this playoffs so how much does that really matter?

 

[Huckleberry1]

Even if the Bruins win in 7 games I'll call it an under performance. They should win this in no more than 6. They are just the better team but haven't played like it much of this series.

Also the other series besides the Hurricans is also at 2-2. IF they win this series they may get lucky and have another top team knocked out for them.

Couldn't disagree more, getting to the next round is all that matters, and any team that moves on has performed well enough. It’s not about style points.

If they stay focused and limit mistakes the Bruins can make it to the Stanley Cup.

However their margin for error is small due to their lack of speed which needs to be addressed.

 

[cmasspatsfan]

they need to at least sit him on the pp. McAvoy should be playing on the pp with Krug. they are giving up so many break aways and odd-man rushes its ridiculous.

They usually play 1 dman and 4 forwards on the app. But I think they have to think about 2 dmen.

The nicest thing about the playoffs so far ...

Enjoying the Bruins more because I don't have to listen to Jack Edwards.

Understanding YMMV, any team that wins a playoff round merits my respect. The team that knocked off the Caps gets an extra measure of it.

ill never respect anybody named dougie lol.

Milbury is the color commentator, Edwards is play by play. I would take Emrick and Brickley, who is hampered by Edwards self aggrandizing crap.

I get that but with this crew you get Millbury, with Jack you get Brick. I'd like to swap out too.

If we could somehow get Chris Cuthbert and Brickley I'd be in hockey heaven

Love Doc but yes Millbury is fine ... Jack ruins the game IMO.

Ever notice when Brick just pauses sometimes ...
I think even he has to take a deep breathe thanks to Jack.
I also used to like Dale Arnold.

I enjoyed Arnold as well, good mix of calling a decent game and caring about the hometown team while still maintaining at least some measure of objectivity. I'm okay with my color guy being a homer, I prefer my play by play guy stick to his end of the ice and let the color commentator actually be the colorful one. I am probably alone in my preference for Cuthbert over Doc. I appreciate the depth of knowledge Emrick brings to the table and how seamlessly he feeds his color guys but the the pitch of his voice grates on me after a while.

Canes up 5-1 with 4:30 to go, sweep is happening. We will be facing another well rested opponent
