Still can't believe TO is in game 7, the Ducks lost, the Canucks got swept.
Habs doesn't surprise me given what I've seen of the Sens.
LA is LA.
I wonder if Det has another upset in them?

Clearly this is a Leafs basher whose hyperbole you should have been ignoring.
No Bruins fan would have been touting such nonsense.
This thread needs a "reject Moe" Ducks .gif.
And a big 'ole X needs to be placed on the Ducks in the Off-Season thread.
Get the Bruins .gif ready.

Safe to eat more poutine? Yes.
Safe to hope that the Bruins won't pull yet another boner in a long line of boners (2011 being the exception)? You'll have to wait for tonight on that one.

I can't wait to see how many penalties in a row the refs call against us today!
Rask sucks.
Haha as no shock its been Leafs "fans" who have been doing the bashing.
I will say though the one who said "bruins in 3" did come back to me on Friday and admit the Leafs are much better than he thought and was impressed by them.
Every Bruins fan I know has been pretty much like you guys in here.
Either way tonight ends one hell of a series.

I would not want to see this as it would only benefit a tired Bruins team.
I wonder who sabotaged their flight out last night?
Probably the TSA jerks at Waffle International Airport.

Lol Rask is the reason why the Leafs aren't resting for the Rangers/Capitals right now
Luongo... He's coming home.
I guess you can look at it that way, just not realistically. He is on par with Reimer in this series. Blew the game last night.

Imagine if Tim Thomas wasnt such an ass and had joined the Isles this year.
I made this comment earlier, I was told that he wouldn't improve the team at all. This Islanders team is the real deal. A season or two with Thomas, regardless of the age, is a wonderful crutch to have.

The Isles with Tim Thomas in net would have upset the Pens this year. I have no question in my mind about that.
Their skaters are fun as hell. Team just can't stop the puck from going in.

Who ever said that is crazy. Nabby gave him some really soft goals. The Isles lost in OT twice, they win just one of those games and they would have forced a game 7. I agree with Uber that with Tim they would have beat the Pens for sure.

This was before the second season. Someone told me that Islanders were ready right now, possibly an Isles fan? Not sure. Still crazy.
Admittingly, I'm a Thomas homer, but I have a good reason to be one.
enjoy the infection
The game was pretty fun. The bar I was at flooded with hipsters, gave zero fucks. All they heard was me yelling fuck and ordering another pitcher.

And what reason would that be:
Oh that's right... the year before we won the Stanley Cup with Thomas, Rask was in net when we pulled off the biggest chokejob in the modern hockey era!
How are we doing now then?
2013 - GAME 5 - TUUKKA RASK - 31 Saves on 33 Shots Against (2 Goals) | Boston Loses 2-1
2013 - GAME 6 - TUUKKA RASK - 24 Saves on 26 Shots Against (2 Goals) | Boston Loses 2-1
Hmmm... Rask not worried about 2010 flashbacks
Boston is 0-4 in Game 7s dating back to 2008... excluding the fabled Stanley Cup season {2011}.

Apparently it's not official yet ? And Game 2 will be Friday ???
It's confusing right now as CBC wants the Leafs for Saturday night if they win.

Any word on if Spezza will definitely play of not this round?
Keep blaming the refs instead of the Caps' undisciplined play. Consider yourselves lucky they didn't call ANY of the half dozen blatant holding, hooking, and holding the stick penalties the Caps committed. In fact they let just about everything minor or in the run of play go in both directions. They didn't call anything but really big obvious stuff. A stupid dangerous elbow in neutral ice to Brassard's head
which probably would be a suspendable play if Brass stayed down and wiggled around for a while
which probably should have been a double minor
The only thing on the Rangers side that might have been remotely as significant as any of the penalties that were called on the Caps was Dorsett's alleged slewfoot attempt on Green, which looks a lot more like a shoulder-leading body check that backfired than anything else to me...and apparently to the refs too.
Besides, you guys are going to win tonight anyway. Relax.

No old man Murray
Look at all those draft picks that came in and play for us during the injuries, all drafted by him. 15 rookies.
It's just an award for regular season standings and given to the team's GM.
Bob Murray getting fleeced by Burke for years apparently makes him GM of the year.
No nothing definite and they're not going to give Pittsburgh advance notice either. I think he'll play at some point.
I don't buy the dated numbers going back to 2008, but I do subscribe to the current theory on Rask. He came out unprepared in the 3rd period, simply cost us the game.
Toronto is going to take this series. It's happening.
I'll just copy and paste my thoughts here:
Nice to see Bergevin get some recognition.
However, I'd say his bad moves (DD $14M/4 years, Moen contract, Boullion re-signing, doing sweet fuck all at the deadline to improve the team) are about equal to his good ones (Prust signing, Subban signing, Gomez buyout, Cole trade).
Plus his recent trades have been golden.
2nd for Bishop
Bishop for Conacher +4th
Foligno for Methot
Rundblad for Turris
Still loving this trade.
Heard on the radio last week that Roondblad might go back to Sweden this summer.
/Fleeced.
Not even comparable.
Did he even play last season? Rundbad.
8 games, 1 assist, -5. Sounds like a cheap Keith Ballard.

Is this about the Subban incident ? lol. PK should take some anger management classes.

So if the Bs lose can we say Rask Tuukaway their chance.Tuukka Rask is 1-8 in career elimination games with an .896 save %. Reimer now 2-0.
I'm here all week.
rask remains a leaf in his heart!
