I just hope that Jagr can net a goal by the end of the series. He so deserves it they way he's played the vast majority of the playoffs! That pass on the PP last night to Bergeron for the 2nd goal was about as good a set up pass as you can get in hockey!

And if the B's win Lord Stanley's Cup, at this moment in time I don't think that it will take too much thought to award Tuuka the Con Smythe! He's be great to say the least

Completely agree. And this is a different Bruins team than the first game or the first period of Game 2. They have been dominating.

Depends on the extent of the Bergeron injury. I want to have faith they can pull it out, but without their best player I don't like the Bs chances.

If the B's play like they did in the 1st 3 games, I like their chances (even in game 1 they played very solidly and disciplined) If they play like they did the last 2 games (generally sloppy) it's over on Monday night :-(

The one thing that is pretty obvious - the vast majority of the goals that Rask has given up have been more related to defensive breakdowns/lapses vs. "Goalie error" The vast majority of the goals that Crawford has let in have been "Goalie error" and not defensive breakdown.

I sure hope that Bergeron is good to go tomorrow night - both for his skills and for a team "pick me up"

What the hell just happened? As much as I hate seeing the handshake line tonight, I think this is one of the best traditions in all of sport.

Thank you, Bruins. Well done, Blackhawks.

I feel a sleep early sorry Boston, congratulate Chicago.
I love that everyone on both teams does this tradition.

Defensively, it got chaotic and the bruins often try playing the puck rather than trying to clear it - it was sad to see it unfold but hand it to the Blackhawks they stayed in the fight to the very end and were triumphant!

Well.... That sucked.

It was the Bruins' game to lose. They were up 2-1 with like 3 minutes to go. All they had to do was hold them. The Blackhawks were obviously going to pull the goalie, so stay tough and keep the puck out of the zone. They blew it twice. Still bummed.....:sadwalk:

In a nutshell...it was weird because I could see the second goal coming.

My kids' soccer teams do that...play with the ball inside the 18 yard line instead of clearing it out. It was odd to see a pro team do it.

I had no horse in this race but that's the second year in a row we got no 7th game...it would have been fun to watch.

Sorry Bruin fans. Know how you feel as I felt it only last year. Chicago took it to everyone wire to wire so good for them. Now on to the draft, free agency and other off ice fun. Hope Lou can rebuild the Devils.

NY Rangers hired Vancouver fired coach and Vancouver hired NY fired coach, I think next year will be better for NY with out new coach.
