Actually it was fact. As long as Neely was on the ice and healthy, the bruins were winning up till that point.Sorry, its not a fact. Playoff series last 7 games, not 2.
So what?
Based on what? A silly little internet poll?
The ultimate copout is this petty excuse for the Bruins performance that year.
The series was very young. Who knows what would have happened? Who knows how the Pens would have changed their gameplan? I mean, thats what they did against Washington when they trailed 3-1. They implemented a 1-4 trap that turned the tide. Playoff series are best 4 out of 7. As much as you want to pretend that you know what would have happened, you just don't. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you can accept the fact the Bruins lost.
I'll say it again, because you obviously ignored it before. Its not like the Pens were blown out in games one and two. Hell, game two went into OT. It could have so easily been a 1-1 series going into game three.
I'm not denying the obvious, there is nothing obvious to deny.
I'm accepting the reality that the winners were the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Whoa, so now this is turned into a rambling tirade about Ulf Samuelsson?
Nobody is trying to say Ulf was a saint.
That would have been a great trick, considering Ciccarelli wasn't even playing in the finals. In fact, he had moved on the Washington Capitals.....three years beforehand. Stop making it up as you go along.
What do you want? A violin? Get over it.
Even if they did, its a moot and erroneuos point.
Even if a million people say it, they DO NOT KNOW what would have happened, unless they had time travel ability.
The silly little internet poll is knowledgable hockey fans giving their opinion on who would have won.
More of the fans agree Boston would have won. You can call it a moot point, but that means you are ignoring the point of this thread. The whole point of this thread is to say "what if". Not try to say "why bother trying to ask what if". If you don't like it the point of the thread, then why bother comeing to it? you knew what this thread would entail from the get go.
