B's up 3 games to none after 5-1 win. Made Philly look bad tonite.

God help us if we fuck this one up again. I don't see it happening......go B's!!

Really hope they get a sweep. About as close as you can get to revenge for last year's epic meltdown. Obviously not as good as what the Flyers did, but beating them 4 in a row is still pretty good.

Thomas was sensational again last night. Flyers still controlled the puck in the zone more than you like to see, but the Bruins made up for it by definitely out hitting them. Lots of really strong hits from the Bs last night.

One thing I noticed that I'd like to see more of was Chara cheating up in the offensive zone. Much harder to stop a 100mph slapshot from 20 feet than it is from the Blue line.

While not Bruins related, I saw this over on FB about the Capitals had started laughing!

Sidney Crosby walks into a bar, orders an Ovechkin. Bartender says, "A what?". Crosby replies, "White Russian without a Cup".

Tonight could very well be the night. I'd love to see the B's close this out in Boston tonight. North Station will be nuts.

I've got one of my friends on Stubhub patrol to see if we can get in the building tonight without breaking the bank...

It worked for game 7 against MTL... we found three tickets for less than $100/ea in the balcony... I hope we have similar luck tonight!

Wow... Crazy game last night... AMAZING atmosphere in the Garden last night... I was lucky to be there.

Hearing that Bergeron has a concussion though... That's not a good thing for this team... He's arguably been the best Bruin throughout the playoffs...

Hopefully it's minor and he won't miss much time, but I don't like him being out.

Bergeron out with a light concusion. He has a history of them, no telling when he will be back.
His line has been solid and outplayed the first line in the Montreal series. That blows even if he missed a couple of games.

No # 37 = no shot at a Cup IMO.

Hasn't been announced yet. I'm PRAYING that it isn't Thursday, because if it is... I can't go. (Work upgrade that night).

Unfortunately, I agree... They can tolerate him missing a couple of games, but any more than that and it would be serious trouble.

Particularly against TB. TB is another team (like the Bruins) with some SERIOUS depth... Their top three lines are all dangerous. Without 37 being there and being the best two-way player the B's have, it would be a very serious impediment to getting out of this series.

Where are all the B's fans? Up 2 to 1 and two games from the big dance. At least some people are having a good spring.

karma..... I don't want to jinx the run.

Kind of funny listening to the sports talk radio program..... not playing Seguin earlier and the media experts questioning whether this was a top 4 team.
