Hey guys got to love the Bruins, I think they will take Carolina in five

SmokeyJoe · 05-02-2009, 10:04 PM

Chicago looks like a team possessed! Up 4 to 2 midway through the third period.

Still think 6. Ward will steal them atleast one game I think. I expect one stinker from thomas for some reason. Dont know why.

To be honest with you I don't think Carolina has a chance?
The B's got great depth at all positions, and a lot more fire power. The Carolina players were scared shitless of getting hit by Lucic.
Staal has been a non factor, he can't do anything against Chara.
The key is for the B's to stay out of the penalty box.
But this is the playoffs a hot goalie can steal a series.

Hawks looked great, stole back home ice advantage...Looking forward to Games 3 and 4 in Chicago.

John. I know you're a fan, but the 'Canes were "scared chitless of getting hit by Lucic"? Seriously, this is the NHL....not too many "scared" players out there. Look for Carolina to make a series out of it.

Ahbroody · 05-03-2009, 01:01 AM

well apparently you didnt watch the sharks series. We have more than enough scared players for the whole league.

That was the reason for shipping Jumbo Joe out of Boston

Any Team can have Jumbo Joe as long he is not on the Bruins.

Bruins In Five

I know. When he got traded it was oooooooo the sharks fleeced the bruins. Now its "wow I guess thats why the Bruins let him go so easy". I keep thinking Wilson was refering to Jumbo when he kept saying "There will be Big changes during the offseason."

Got to wonder. I would not mind seeing him go. I got to imagine there will be a few guys on the market. Those that dont move will likely be on the shortest rope imaginable.

Wise words!

Carolina has their hands full... but it was only one game. I think the Hurricnaes have a shot if it goes to seven. If we want the Cup, we have to beat the best. I am expecting a better game from the 'Canes tonight.

Joe, I am not ready to call the series over. The 'Canes scared me from the start due to the season record. Things have a way of equalizing. I expect a good and balanced series going forward.

No matter what happens in the playoffs, Sharks got the better end of the deal. I can see why they let him go for basically nothing, but without that trade, who knows where the Sharks would be right now.

I wouldn't mind seeing him go at all, and would rather see him go before Marleau. I think Marleau plays to his ability in the postseason, while Thornton has the potential to completely change the dynamics of the game, and doesn't. I also don't see Marleau keeping the C, which I don't think is a big deal for him at all, in fact he would probably rather NOT have the extra pressure.

That first overtime for the Wings/Ducks game was exciting. Refs kept their whistles in their pockets, but that is expected. I can't believe the Ducks are getting so outhit. Wings did prove my point to go high on Hiller though.

jonharky · 05-03-2009, 05:45 PM

What a disappointing day here in Detroit to lose in the 3ot to them ducks. its not over though!!

icehog3 · 05-03-2009, 06:25 PM

I think James was going to the Wings game today, tough way to lose 6 periods in. The Wings will need to steal home ice advantage back in Anaheim.

Yep, there for the whole affair. Outplayed them all of OT. Just couldn't get one in the back of the net

. Great game and no worries. We will at least split in Anaheim. Go Wings!

I wouldn't be worried either, James. I think the Wings will take the series.

The only 6 period game I ever attended resulted in a Hawks loss, obviously many years ago. They cut off beer sales halfway through the 2rd period, so by the 3rd OT I was just ready for it to be over, win or lose....of course, that game was a 7:30 start, so it was a bit later.

The Wings will get it back Tuesday.

bugmenot · 05-03-2009, 08:56 PM

I thought the Wings outplayed them completely in the OT, as well as during the 3rd.

Ward just made a series of 3 amazing saves during a power play! Bruins have seemed flat today. I would say this isn't a good thing for the Bruins, as it gives Ward, and the rest of the Canes a lot of confidence.

icehog3 · 05-03-2009, 08:59 PM

Ward was amazing on those saves!
