confirmed, Bruins are sallys.


Sorry, Thorton and Chara fights didn't do it for me. Team should've beat the living crap out of the Penguins tonight. I cared nothing for the W. Just wanted to see the Penguins BEAT DOWN.

It didn't live up to the hype...

"Fans and media alike in Boston are calling for a bloodbath. They almost seem to care less if the Bruins waste two points and possibly miss the playoffs in order to get retribution on Matt Cooke, this generation’s version of Ulf Samuelsson, the former Penguin that laid a knee-to-knee hit on Cam Neely in the 1991 Western Conference finals. That hit eventually led to a debilitating knee and hip for Nelly, and his career was cut short."

Still stand by the post above this one, but, the last two games the Bruins have come alive! If you had asked me if the Bruins were going to play this well in the series, the answer would've been no.

Good to hear Savard is doing much better.

Let's hope they can string a few games together with that kind of intensity. They need to hit and forecheck like that on every shift. Not letting the Sabres get any momentum going coming out of their zone really disrupted any offensive flow.

Got my fingers crossed.....

I think it will be hard to slow down the Bruins momentum now. If they play tonight just like Monday, they'll be ahead in the series. Look out Miller.....

Awesome game last night.

I hope my neighbors don't mind me yelling at the TV... I tend to get into the Stanley Cup playoffs a little bit...

The Garden must have been absolutely rocking when Satan scored that goal...even the TV camera was shaking! Great game.

I have a hard time imaging the Fleet Center (sorry, still can't bring myself to call it the "Garden") rocking. These new arenas are extremely sterile places to watch hockey (or any game for that matter). Went to see Bruins playoff hockey a few years ago and couldn't believe how quiet the place was. Loudest hockey games I have ever been to have all been hockey. Heard louder rinks in college hockey regular season than B's post season and it ain't the fans fault... those arenas just don't get "loud" even with everyone on their feet.

Any ways, looking forward to seeing the Bs seal the deal in the first round!!

holy shnikey the b's go up 3-1 whodathunkit?!?!?!?
Someone needs to tell the Sabres the regular season ended a couple weeks ago, and it's now officially the playoffs. It's pathetic watching half the team sleepwalk through their shifts.

That's the one benefit of being a 6-7-8 seed. The last few weeks of the season are playoff intensity, so they're already fired up in the first round. This is looking like the '07 playoffs again for the Sabres, where they had a playoff spot locked up, took the last week off, and never got to actual playoff intensity. If Connolly, Roy, Pominville, Gaustad, and Stafford played with the same fire as Ennis and Kaleta have shown, the series would be over already.

That was about what I expected out of them. They needed to stumble a bit so that Julien and Recchi can get all over the kids in the locker room and tell them to keep the pressure on. The forecheck was weak or non-existent, very little hitting compared to games 2, 3, and 4, and they let Buffalo get through the neutral zone way too easily.

Let's hope they heed the wake-up call and put this series away tomorrow night.
