Had the Pens won and if Crosby and Malkin were healthy and playing do you really think game seven would have been a one-zip victory for the Lighting but had the Pens won then the Bruins would be playing the Captials and agian i would have been rooting for the Bruins
But the Bruins are playing the Flyers so sorry i'll be booing the Bruins not cheering em on

Of course, you will be cheering on the Flyers. I would expect no less, as I wrote in my earlier post.

Jen, you are such a sweetheart!

Have you seen pictures of the statue outside the Garden where the Bruins play, commemorating Bobby's 1970 Stanley Cup-winning goal? Here is the goal, and here is the statue. It's very, very cool.

There are too many posts to start quoting so I'll just give some general opinions of the last and next rounds of the playoffs.

Montreal did better than I initially expected them to do. Their biggest problem is that they relied on Price to win the games for them and goalies can only stop goals they generally don't score them.

I was glad to see Vancouver finally take out Chicago. It shouldn't have gone seven games though. Vancouver has a good team and they should have done it in four games.

I'm not happy that Tampa Bay advanced. I'm looking for Washington to eliminate Tampa Bay. I don't like Washington, but I like teams from Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Arizona, and California (I'll let LA stay as they were an original expansion team) even less. After that series then Washington can get eliminated.

Boston and Philiadelphia will be an interesting series. Boston has to play more physically though or they will never get by Philadelphia. I want to see Boston take this series.

Vancouver should do okay against Nashville. Vancouver has started to play hockey again. I look for Vancouver to win in five games.

I think Detroit will take their series against San Jose. Detroit is a better team.

It's nothing personal, Jen. One team has to win the series and as Boston beat Montreal I would like to see Boston win.

No doubt that Detroit is healthier than last year when the Sharks took them out at this point, and it's clear that the Sharks will have to play better than they did against the Kings.

Still we beat them 3/4, during the regular season including twice in the Joe.

Facing Detroit in the playoffs is always tough, but if you want the cup, you have to earn it. That's how. We have three quality scoring lines and their defensive stars can't play 45 minutes. We have brilliant goaltending (much of the time), just a bit suspect on D. Not great with Detroit's scoring talent.

Sharks do have a good chance here. It will be close and tough.

Did you see the EA sports article on NHL.com? Their gizmo picked all 8 of the first round winners. They have Detroit in OT of game 7 for this series. :-)

Jen, if the Flyers beat my Bruins, I promise I will root for Philadelphia in the next round.

Vancouver beat Nashville 1-0 in Game #1. The final score was not indicative of Vancouver's play. Rinne was excellent for Nashville, otherwise it would have been a 4 or 5-nothing game for Vancouver. The Canucks also played with a LOT of intensity.

I sure as hell don't know why the hipcheck thrown by Ballard was called as a clipping penalty. It was as legit a hit as I've ever seen. I swear, I have NO idea why some of these referees even still have a job.
