I still want St Louis to win. San Jose doesn't deserve to be where they are right now.

This is a whole new level of entitlement that I never thought I would ever see....

Hurricane my ***. Carolina was flat out embarrassed.

Both Boston power play goals were due to the Canes own stupidity.

You can’t spell “entitlement” without TITLE!

Cam Neely looks 90 years old like the Governor of Vermont.

What a year
What a team
What net play
Such a likable group...pure professionals and tough as hell
Home ice advantage in every series......what a treat for the home town fans.

The skill clinic the top 3 put on last night was lights outs.
Minus Chara.....did the B's play better? Definitely debatable.
Not touching the trophy is such a hardo hockey move

The Boston Bruins....the antithesis of the Celtics.

Edging closer to the triple......a history lesson:

But the decade of the 1930s was special to the city of Detroit. Beginning in 1931, native Detroiter, Gar Wood, won the Harmsworth Trophy for unlimited powerboat racing on the Detroit River. The next year, Eddie “The Midnight Express” Tolan, a sprinter and 1927 graduate from Detroit’s Cass Technical High School, won the 100- and 200-meter races and two gold medals at the 1932 Summer Olympics. While Joe Louis, who came to Detroit when he was 12 years old to start his professional boxing career, won the heavyweight championship of the world in 1937. The Detroit Lions won the National Football League championship in 1935, while the Tigers won their first of back-to-back American League pennants in 1934, winning their first ever World Series in 1935 by defeating the Chicago Cubs. To top it off, the Red Wings won the NHL’s Stanley Cup in 1936 and 1937.

What makes this so remarkable is that no other city — before or since — has held championships for three of the four major North American sports at the same time. As a result of this display of excellence, Detroit was named “City of Champions” in the 1930s.

April 18, 1936, was set aside by then governor, Frank Fitzgerald, as Champions Day.

The last line in the article I linked above....

With so many other professional teams in the four major team sports around the country, we may never again see a city lay claim to three yet alone four championships in a single year.

Have the mediots in Boston shown Don Sweeney any love during this run up?
He's been their whipping boy during all their recent drafts and was mocked for his seemingly lackluster maneuvers at the trade deadline.
Yet here they are

Great game last night. One thing I was impressed by was the classiness of the Canes fans when it was clear they were going to lose, the way they started to cheer them on in appreciation. It's a good fan base I root for them when it's not the Bruins, and it made me proud to do so.

But it was a nice win by the Bruins though.

Rask is on a roll, not sure a week + off is good for him, hope he stays hot.

Congrats to the Bruins on their impressive sweep and run to the Finals. Things lined up perfectly for them and they are certainly taking advantage. Hopefully the break before the Finals gets them fresh rather than killing their momentum.

Side note, reading some of the forums (canes, cbj, leafs) it's amazing how many fans invest so much time, money and emotion into a sport they seemingly believe is rigged. Sad really

One of my best friends from HS moved down there, loves it. He's been having fun during this canes series as most of his coworkers and friends pull for Carolina

People in Massachusetts love making fun of NC (as this thread indicates). Meanwhile, I have never met a single person who lived in Mass and lived in NC and preferred Mass (and I know a lot of people who lived in both places).
