One more!
One more!
I don't want to sound like sour grapes, but you have to call that trip. It wouldn't have mattered anyway since Lucic did a nice job being a double agent tonight. I was very surprised by Soderberg tonight. I thought he had a good game. Nothing spectacular, but he made the smart plays all night long.

We know this situation from 2011. Nothing is over yet. I'm still very confident that we will get the cup.
Not if Bergeron is done, B's are a different team without him.

One more win for Chicago. I hope we see them hoist the cup on Monday.
This really is true. If Toews returns on Monday, Boston will be at a huge disadvantage.

Yup. Much better than Daugaviņ. Much better.

Why are you all hating on Lucic? He got 3rd star.
Easier written than done...

One. More. WIN!
Disagree. Losing Bergeron will be a big blow, but It's up to the defenseman at this point. If Chara and Seidenberg don't get their shit together it's over. The issue I think is fatigue with those two. They have slowed down as the series has gone along.
This run Lucic went on in the playoffs almost made me forget how fucking terrible he has been for 90% of the season. Went back to the old ways. I really hate the way he plays most of the time.

God damn at that jacket. That is the ugliest thing I've ever seen.
Bergern is the Bruins best forward by far and is the backbone of their defense and offense. The only way they beat the Hawks without him is if Toews is out for the Hawks as well.
If you build it, they will come. American hockey needs the national exposure of the Olympics. When the American team does well it brings more fans to the sport.
Not to be outdone, Canada; of course, put up insane numbers that year:

That was a pretty good third period of hockey. Kind of glad there were no penalties in the third.
That's pretty impressive. The Vancouver Olympics was the best hockey tournament of all time imo, just incredible play and awesome games all the way through. Let's hope Sochi is comparable.
It was also huge around the world. My friends in Madrid that couldn't speak English know who Crosby is from following the Olympics.
Claude says he expects him to play.
I won't believe anything until I hear it from a specialist:
Take the best talent in the world, put them in front of a great crowd, and keep them on an NHL size surface and you have the recipe for some fantastic hockey. I'm less hyped for Sochi because of the larger ice.

No supplemental for Boychuk.
The ratings are more important than player safety in the NHL, they need the Boston storyline to go on a little longer.

What a joke
That looked pretty damn dirt imo, can't hit him in the neck area like that, thats fucking dangerous.
This whole two-rule book thing between the regular season and the playoffs is the worst thing about hockey, what a joke. This is why a lot of people I know can't take this sport seriously.
Going to blame that on the 8 hour flight.

He grabs Horton's stick and falls down. I'll call that a pretty good dive. (was also called embellishment on the play, so w/e)
Not an even trade off. Horton is the better player and the Bruins were already down a forward in Bergeron.
If he doesnt pull the stick, I don't think there is any penalty called.
Psssht. If Horton wasn't so scared of Handzus' breakaway speed he wouldn't have needed to hook him.

Not sure what the Bruins have left. Their physical play and tight defense aren't working against the Hawks.
If Crawford plays like he did in Game 5 the Hawks will win the Cup.

That's a big if... I like the Bruins at home with or without Bergeron.
:lol How has your neck not snapped with those massive homer goggles strapped to your face?

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Agreed. They've won games without him before, but it'll be tough. Just seems like seven games is a given.
The 'Hawks are no joke. I can't believe all of the radio guys saying the series was done after Game 3.
