In Tampa visiting in-laws. We'll be at the Bruins-Bolts game tonight. I'll be in my Ray Bourque jersey.

I do, but they may need to start Saros more often.

Awesome! Let's Go Tuukka!

There were practically as many Bs fans at the game as there were Tampa ones. Some even managed to get a decent "Yankees suck!" chant going in the first. 😊

They're still looking good, despite Makar and Rantanen being out.

I think McKinnon is the best offensive player in the NHL, despite all the love for McDavid.

Tuukka stones the Flyers on his birthday for 6th shutout for this season.
B's first team to reach 100 points.

Rask was in the zone last night. That was a damned good game.

Congratulations (and thanks) to Tuukka, he's my fantasy (goalie).

Going to the Hawks game tonight. Nothing left to play for but pride. Let's see how that goes.

MAKAR!!! ....and there’s your Calder winner!

It went pretty well.

For a change.

Saw that Makar strike when I got home, that kid is good. There's a pretty good forward in Chicago too, but Makar and Hughes have too much of the full-season hype.

[E.J.]

It may not be healthy how much hockey I’ve watched in the last bit. GO AVS!!!

[E.J.]

ADD: Tom, your ‘Hawks looked REALLY good.

[E.J.]

Can I hope Vancouver and Minnesota lose in the same game?

[icehog3]

E.J., big win for the Avs, though they're heading to the next round regardless.

Hawks looked dominant through 2+ periods. I'd be feeling a lot more confident if they had won 6-2. Or if Conor McDavid got the chicken pox today.

[Porch Dweller]

Great to see the top line for the Bruins get the monkey of their back earlier. Bergeron is just clutch.

[icehog3]

Must win for Chicago today for any chance to upset Vegas in this series.

Let's Go Blackhawks!

[E.J.]

WOW....Rask packed up his pads and went home.

Whoa, gotta Google that! What???

Blackhawks hanging on my the thinnest of threads. Not super confident but still hopeful.

Halak's a good goalie and I think he'll do just fine...notwithstanding his horrible turnover today.

As for Rask, well...he's a great goalie but just not a clutch goalie. If he retires as some think he will he'll be missed, but only in the regular season.
