Its kind of funny that you guys are calling out that "The Pens arent the Rangers".


You guys have played Ottawa and the Islanders...... The Bruins aren't....

I can't wait. If Chicago loses, one of our teams will have home ice in the Stanley Cup.

Well, the Pens aren't the Rangers. What's so funny about it? The Rangers are a terribly put together team as evidence of the way this year unfolded. JMO, Ottawa would have taken them out too.

You have played Toronto and the Rags ... The Pens aren't ...

We aren't fools. We know what Boston is capable of and this has been discussed since we clinched the Ottawa series.

I think it's very encouraging that James Neal looks to be back on his game. He was not the same player when he returned from that concussion. Then he only got a couple of games before hurting his leg. He was a different player those last couple against the Sens.

Crawford letting in a real bad goal. rMy dream becoming true so far Tomorrow it's Sharks time!

Cordoba, I think Ference is a pretty good d-man. I really liked him when he played for the Pens. I don't know if age hasn't been good to his game..

That's exactly what I mean. Ference has been through a lot of things. Krug and Bartowski look like they have some talent but for Madden to say they should play instead of Ference seems stupid.

Pulling for the sharks too that's who I want to win the cup if the pens don't.

Neal's speed hasn't been good. A little burst will help his game tremendously on both sides of the ice. His shot is just awessome.

Definitely Sharks after the Penguins. Rozsival taking a stupid penalty twice in a row. Detroit is giving the Hawks fits. They play a physical and safe game. That said, I still think we are better than them.

I think i am the only Bruins fan that would rather have Ference in there.

It's hard to miss a couple of weeks and then jump into playoff hockey. Neal isn't a dynamic skater to begin with, but missing those weeks and then hurting his leg really slowed him down. He looked back to form in those last two games. Looked like a different player. Was skating so much better.

I'm convinced Sid is still not back to the level he was playing before he broke his jaw. We've seen glimpses of it, but he's still not quite there. If he gets back to that level, I pity those rookie Dmen on the Bruins.

Reports saying matter-of-factly that the Bruins are going to physically dominate the Pens are getting so old. Everyone seems to think we're all finesse.

Also, Detroit is leading into the 3rd. Going to be close!
EDIT: I.....I spoke too soon...

Frolik my balls Bickell with 5 goals in the playoffs. How odd. Detroit blew this game.

I hope the two road teams win their Game 7s.

Filppula is a very good player. Would look good with Jokes

I did not agree with the penalty shot call.

Neither did Howard. They should have called something else. I so wanted Chicago out of the playoffs

He's second in playoff points.

The Penguins have plenty of offense regardless of the Bruins D. They have to prevent goals and stay out of the box. They'll score enough to win.

Who's first ?

Saturday night it is per Josh Yohe. NBC has golf on all afternoon. Thank God!

I would have pissed off my whole family if the game was an afternoon start. My Grandparents 50th Anniversary party is Saturday afternoon.

Who's first ?

Crosby 15
Horton 12
Iginla 12

Pretty interesting that the top six scorers in the playoffs will be playing in this series.

1 David Krejci BOS C 12 5 12 17
2 Evgeni Malkin PIT C 11 4 12 16
3 Kris Letang PIT D 11 3 13 16
4 Sidney Crosby PIT C 10 7 8 15
5 Nathan Horton BOS R 12 5 7 12
6 Jarome Iginla PIT R 11 4 8 12

Amazing. Out of all the teams, BOS and PITT have the Top 6 players in scoring. Advantage to Pittsburgh, with 4 of them

as I've said, should be an interesting series, I was really hoping Detroit wrapped it up tonight

and the Bruins aren't the Isles or Sens, everyone admits the Pens are a deep offensively gifted team, I respect the Pens and what they bring but they do not necessarily intimidate me

No offence but the pens had a very young islanders team and a barely healthy young Ottawa team I think Boston's is ur first real test should be a good one either way gotta go with Boston in 6 ,better defence and goaltending can't deny tho at all in a team vs team break down.
