It appears that the Bruins have learned how to stay focused. They've been hot & cold all season and it almost got them eliminated by Toronto. 7 more wins.

I was impressed by the Bruins' defense last night. They completely shut down the Penguins, first team to do so in awhile. Incredible stick work by the entire defensive line up. Krejci had a great game but Horton really stepped up. If we can get Seguin to produce and the D stays focused, the Penguins are in trouble. I would love nothing more than to see the Bruins bring the cup home again, especially after what Boston has gone through recently.

Biggest question now heading into Game 3 of the Bruins - Pens game is who do the Pens start between the pipes??
Still a lot of hockey to be played, but right now it sure looks like a Bruins - Blackhawks battle for Lord Stanley's Cup!

I think they'll probably go back to Fleury, but let's be honest - how many of the 6 Vokoun let in were really his fault? A tipped puck (1), a bad play by a defenseman right in front of the net (2), terrible team defense (3), a breakaway resulting from a whiff by your star player (4), a botched clearing attempt (5) and a pretty passing play that no goalie would have stopped (6). The only one I would say he should have gotten was #5, but had the puck been cleared, we're not talking about that goal.
The Penguins have looked awful. I think I'm more interested to see how Game 3 unfolds than I was for Game 2.

I can't believe that the B's are going into Game 3 with a 2-0 lead. I love the B's, but figured it would be the Penguins with the lead. From what I've seen, the Pens have been a mess. B's have had some good breaks and have capitalized on them. I hope they stick to it, not take things for granted or get too arrogant, and go all the way.
And I only watched from a distance, but weren't the Blackhawks on the verge of elimination in the semis?

My thoughts exactly. That was one hell of a game and I kept coming back to it. When they got that game tied with an empty net it was nothing short of a miracle. I jumped through the ceiling. Indeed, that really got them focused and really motivated them to play better. The series with the Rangers was solid. I was shocked that they did so well there. And now they are just playing strong....looks like they are getting better with every game. I really like the energy that Torey Krug has brought and that the Merlot line has been doing well.
Wow. Pittsburgh was shut down. Not at all expected.
The Blackhawks/Bruins match will be very interesting.

Wow to bad I feel a sleep around 10 pm. Chicago wins game 1. The way the played I am sure Boston will come out strong in game 2.

I think me and my friends may have jinxed the Bs -- we closed our bar tab with 10 minutes to go in the third period. That will never happen again. Go Bs!
Bummed about the loss.....stayed up to watch it. They were all too tired and it was painful to watch....hope they come back stronger. Hope that Horty is OK.

Word on Horton is that he's day to day with subluxation of the left shoulder. I''m no MD but they said that means his arm pops out of the socket. I'm pretty sure that doesn't hurt. And guess how he got this injury -- fighting with Jarome Iginla in the regular season!
Bummer. And I am still
about the Wednesday loss, but I think that will force Boston to focus and play better the rest of the season. They had two (relatively) easy series against the Rangers and Pens, but I think that was in part because they were on a high after being on the brink of losing it all in Game 7 with the Leafs.

Two wins to go. There's an amazing difference between the unfocused Bruins and the focused Bruins. It's like watching two different teams.
