*cleans off dust from thread*

Vancouver won Game #1 3-2. San Jose continued their streak of having their play taper off in the third period. It was an entertaining game, much more than the Vancouver/Nashville series was(San Jose's defense isn't as "shut-down" as Nashville's was).

Game #2 tomorrow night should be another great one!

Tonight, Boston and Tampa Bay seem to be trading goals! Boston scored 5 goals in the second period. The score is currently 6-4 for Boston with 9:37 to play in the third period.

Seguin is making the most of his time due to the injury to Bergeron, scoring two goals and two assists! I don't think Julian can take him out of the lineup now(when Bergeron comes back).

Yikes! It's now a 6-5 game with 4:26 left in the third!!!

It is now a final. Boston won 6-5. I wonder if smc will be posting here ever again or if the game was too stressful for his heart?

I enjoyed the game tonight, glad to see Boston win. Entertaining, but the Bruins better play better next game. They were very lucky that the Lightning didn't tie the game. TB seemed to win every battle along the boards and totally dominated the 3rd period. I even thought the earlier parts of the game were controlled more by TB, but the Bruins capitalized on their opportunities.

The Sharks-Canucks game Sunday was entertaining. I think the Sharks had the better of the play in the first two periods, but the Canucks dominated the last period. Think the Sharks ran out of gas. I think the Red Wing series took a lot out of them, and Vancouver was well rested. During the series with Red Wings, It looked like Detroit was going to break-out and score a bunch of goals. Niemi wouldn't let them. Even with the Canucks controlling the 3rd period, I didn't get the same sense. Vancouver was the better team last game and deserved to win. Will see what happens next game. I expect another good game.

I agree that the Bruins better play better, but the idea that Tampa Bay controlled "earlier parts of the game" is ridiculous. Most of the first period was spent in the Bruins' offensive zone! And Boston scored 5 goals in the second period! If that's "control" by Tampa Bay, what team would ever want to be "in control"?

Yeah, they scored 5 goals on 9 shots. TB had 16 shots on goal. They took advantage of their opportunities, but getting outshot by almost 2 to 1 doesn't sound like they were in control.

Step right up and join the anti-Bruins bandwagon of which my friend Shadows
seems to have become the driver.
