That wasn't very nice mate.

If you talk enough poop, you're going to get dealt a hand of deuces in an Ace high game of life!

Yes we did. Thanks for playing. Here's your parting gift. Giroux's balls are in the side pocket.

This is post of the year nomination #1, 2 & 3.

No such thing as a needless hit in hockey. Sorry Hags, keep your head up.

Kind of glad Boston got through. Tampa is going to crush them but at least Boston will play them physical.

Pretty pumped for this series to get going. If the Pens can steal this one in Washington without Malkin and Hags it would be huge!

What makes you think Tampa is going to crush them? Boston won 3 out of 4 in the regular season, and they finished the season 1 point behind them in the standings.

Have you been watching? A lot of them looked gassed. They looked gassed down the stretch of regular season too. Not saying Tampa has it in the bag by no means but Bolts are going to be very well rested and the Bruins are not.

The physical part was my favorite. PIT had more hits than BOS this year as a team.

Tampa has more pressure though.

Bruins will be fine. Tampa was sloppy vs. NJD. Tampa had 20 PIMs per game, Boston had 6 PIMs per game. Tampa takes penalties against Boston like they did against Jersey, they are going to (frank)ing pay. I think either team can win, and it should go 6 or 7, but I don't think Tampa steam rolls Boston by any means.

No.

I would say their pressure amounts are just about equal...

No I dont think there will be steamrolling either but I think Tampa takes the series.

Sometimes a battle hardened team plays better than a rested team. I believe the Broons are going to the ecf.

It's Thursday. The Flyers were eliminated on Sunday... Why are Flyers fans still here? And why are you being such douchebags? You just got stomped. Your team is awful. Your stars are no shows. Get lost losers.

If you watched any of the games you would know why. The Boston/Toronto series was a dumpster fire. It made for interesting hockey but there was no structured play by either team... just a never ending scramble of turnovers and failed dump and chases.

The comparison on physicality was based on Boston vs Toronto. Where TO just spent the entire series trying to avoid being hit. Boston has Chara and Backes who will put a hurt on a few guys even if they get dominated. Try to keep up.
