YESSSSSS

 

[ShaneB]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Stupid Rangers.

 

[MetatronM]

YES! PYATT!!!!

 

[Stasis]

Ovechkin is having a really strong game. You can definitely tell he's been frustrated and is just going to do whatever it takes. Gotta respect that, the guy came to play.

Yeah I love to hate him.

Historically I've been a fan, always respected his physical play. Pain in the ass for me right now of course, but I respect the play.

 

[Vic]

Well, I guess I'm OK with Boston being eliminated. The Leafs better lose in the next round though.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Have you seen how strong Capitals/Rangers are? They are on a whole different level from the Bruins or Leafs.

Uh the Leafs took 3 out of 4 points against the Rangers in a home and home. The Leafs lost a point because of a shootout.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

holy crap, Leafs.

 

[blahness]

Fuck

 

[AlphaTwo00]

I'm just barely keeping the game on in the background, but all I hear is how many shots have been wide of the net for the Bruins.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

What you got to say now Smash? Get fucked by a sandpaper dildo.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Do it Rangers, make this night perfect.

 

[vilmer_]

Oh my god Toronto :O

 

[Smash88]

Uh the Leafs took 3 out of 4 points against the Rangers in a home and home. The Leafs lost a point because of a shootout.

Regular Season != Playoffs

 

[lamaroo]

Plenty of time left for some Lucic/Chara/McQuaid roid rage.

 

[cube444]

Haha! Where is that pussy Coldplay?

 

[ActStriker]

life

but probably too little too late

 

[ZeroGravity]

UH OH

 

[Tawpgun]

HERE COMES THE COMEBACK GUYS

 

[Sober]

Bruins trying for the comeback!

 

[Marvie_3]

No sympathy for them.

We're well aware of the fact that you're a bitter little shit who has no idea what he's talking about.

 

[The Elite]

Fuck. Like I said. Way too much space.

 

[Zombie James]

THERE GOES THE SHUTOUT.

 

[Heretic]

UH OH!!!

 

[UberTag]

And I thought the Sharks were the worst at closing a series in the league.

You must have missed out on my post from earlier today? The Sharks have nothing... AND I MEAN NOTHING... on the Bruins when it comes to not being able to close out series.

Not really.

Toronto beating Washington or the Rangers to get to the conference finals... now THAT would be insane.

Winning on Monday would just be yet another Bruins early-round collapse when they were the overwhelming favorites and had a seemingly insurmountable lead... something we've seen happen at least once every two years for the past DECADE.

2002 - #1 Boston lost to #8 Montreal despite being the top seed in the conference after splitting the first 4 games.
2004 - #2 Boston lost to #7 Montreal after leading the series 2-0 and 3-1.
2009 - #1 Boston to #6 Carolina after choking out of the gates and losing Games 2, 3 & 4 after finally slaying the Montreal dragon in the first-round (after 3 consecutive playoff exits to the Habs).
2010 - #6 Boston lost to #7 Philadelphia after leading 3 games to 0, becoming the first team to choke away a 3-0 series lead since the 1975 Pittsburgh Penguins.
2012 - #2 Boston lost to #7 Washington after being largely dominant in the 2nd half of the regular season. All 7 games were decided by a single goal - the first time that's ever happened in NHL playoff history.

Oh and the common theme of those past four chokejobs. ALL OF THOSE SERIES WENT 7 GAMES.

So yeah, Boston Bruins fans aren't in complete disbelief at all at this turn of events.
WE EXPECTED IT!

We also expect to lose on Monday night. Although I'm going to do my part to try and ensure that doesn't happen by recreating the exact circumstances of Games 1, 3 & 4 (wearing my Bergeron jersey while listening to a CBC.ca stream at my computer at work) and not the exact circumstances of Games 2, 5 & 6 (not wearing any jersey and sitting in the exact same chair at a friend's place while watching the game with a bunch of Leaf fans on a 65" television).

I'll post the bears to humor the locals, though.

 

[CrankyJay]

Oh no...here we go...

 

[RS4-]

Too bad Pierre McGuire isn't calling this game...he'd be all like "I CAN'T BELIEVE TORONTO HAS THE BALLS TO KEEP POKING THE BEAR LIKE THIS, THE BRUINS ARE GOING TO GET REALLY MAD"

God, imagine a McGuire and Healy game.

Lol and now Boston scores. Fuck

 

[criesofthepast]

Meltdown incoming lol

 

[Samyy]

FUCK BRUINS WIN

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Bruins well we have seen this before too late I suppose.

 

[MacAttack]

COMEBACK!

 

[zroid]

stahp

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Haha! Where is that pussy Coldplay?

Lol

Jesus fuck. Just eat some honey and go to sleep already!!!!!

 

[Mr.Green]

Hope is a cruel mistress Bs fans.

 

[Sanjuro]

Garbage day!

 

[polyh3dron]

lol it's about time.. now you just have to score 2 more.. too bad like half your fans left the arena already

 

[Mike Works]

Leafs are my most disliked team in the league, but that's almost entirely because of how many obnoxious die-hard fans they have across North America back when they were good. Canucks have taken them to the shed over the past decade, so I'm actually fine with them becoming a competent team again so I can have a real villain of a team to cheer against.

So partially due to that (and their underdog status) and partially because I'm loving watching them make Boston eat their own shit at home, I'm actually loving this game.

That said, Bruins just scored, so this game ain't over yet!

 

[Square Triangle]

I just turned on the game and Horton scores, I'm sorry Lefas.

 

[bardia]

Comeback time?

 

[AppleSmack]

Hmm 2 goals in 10 is possible if bruins really get their shit together

 

[ATF487]

Garbage day!

is a very dangerous day

 

[Smash88]

We're well aware of the fact that you're a bitter little shit who has no idea what he's talking about.

Nah, I'm bitter about a team that has mistreated fans for this long.

You're just fucking mad that I'm right.

Stay salty Marvie.

Spoiler

Go fuck yourself. I'll see you in the finals.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Schueys getting so much action tonight!

lol, maybe

 

[Mr.Green]

God that home announcer is retarded.

 

[calder]

Do it Rangers, make this night perfect.

I'm still bitter about the Caps, but man it's impossible to cheer for the Rangers. They'll just ruin another series with their unbearable style

Jesus 3-0

 

[ShaneB]

Fuck x 3

 

[lamaroo]

Franson has been pretty bad in the defensive zone.

 

[Judderman]

OHHHHHHH FUCK DEL ZOTTO

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

I'm so happy for Leafs-age right now. Diehard fans deserve any glory their team gets, and Leaf fans (ESPECIALLY the diehards) in here deserve some glory after the shit they've had to endure.

Well done Leafs-age.

 

[sazabirules]

Ouch lol. Is it weird I'm not even that mad? I'm so used to this.

 

[yankeeforever2]

Caps have given up, the Rangers are just skating right through them.
