^ At least Rask is in the net. Boston has a better than average chance of winning the series if Rask is in goal for all the games. I predict Boston to win in 6 games. Go Boston go, but don't beat Montreal if the two should meet.

^Rask was absolutely phenomenal in the last couple of minutes.

I made the same prediction earlier in the thread. Boston in 6.

Montreal won't be meeting the Bruins if they don't figure out how to kill penalties (see last night's result!).

Boston scored just as I submitted the last post! 4-2 Bruins.

Tied game heading to overtime. Decent game.

^ The Bruins defeated the Flyers, 5-4, in overtime, in the first game of their series. Marc Savard scored with 6:08 left in the first overtime. He was playing his first game since the concussion Cooke of the Penguins gave him in March.

Go Boston!!

Having the goalie show up will be a good start.

I am sure Boston was happy with the win, but not pleased with what they did to get there. They coughed up the lead and allowed the Flyers to tie up the game. It was nice that Savard scored the winner after having missed so many games.

In the other game of the night, Vancouver smoked Chicago 5-1(Chicago scored their lone goal in the third period on a 5 on 3 PP)! Vancouver exposed the weak link of Chicago...the goaltending. Game #2 should be interesting.

Montreal just beat Pittsburgh 3 - 1. Go Montreal go!!!!

Our penalty kill was much better. We shut them down during the last one and had a chance with Gionta on another.

Good stuff and we now have home ice advantage.
