For reference, here's his quote. It should be cued up, but 2:04 if not.
I hope I'm wrong, but I am surprised people think this will be a short series for Boston. The Blues are legit, and as Pete DeBoer stated, they are very physical. The Hurricanes were paper tigers compared to these guys.
Playoff nails are done!
Oh and these were all of the calls against the B's in the game. So there wasn't a single legitimate call against them.I see Gord Dwyer on the list. He might want to up his game a bit. I just rewatched game 6 of the Leafs series and Dwyer and Charron were the refs. Here are the calls on three successive Leaf power plays, none of which was a legitimate infraction by the B's.
1. Chara called for over-the-glass delay of game when the puck went into the Bruins' bench. Not an actual infraction.
2. Nordstrom called for high-sticking Dermott, when the reason Nordstrom's stick came up was becasue Dermott was slew-footing him. Penalty should have been on Dermott.
3. Coyle called for allegedly taking down Gauthier. Reply shows that Coyle just gave him a love tap on the thigh and Gauthier went down on his own just because he's a big oaf who can't skate.
Amazingly, the B's w0n the game anyway. And people say they've been so lucky because they didn't have to eliminate Tampa or Washington themselves. But they had to beat both Toronto and the refs.
Totally disagree. In these playoffs he's been great at handling the puck. Passing it like a pro. I was impressed.He can't. Every time he comes out of his crease to play the puck I cringe.
What's your point?
There's 15 guys. 2 of which have guessed more series correctly than wrong in this playoffs. 2 out of 15 ... "experts"
And even those 2 have the tightest lead.
So 8 out of those 15 picked the Bruins.
Anyone know or have seen details for the pregame stuff Monday? Is it all at City Hall? Is canal closed again?
While we're waiting for the series to start, here's a story:
I was in Montreal for a work event Wednesday and Thursday. On Wednesday night, a bunch of us went out to an Irish pub called Hurley's. Employer's tab. At the bar there's a guy wearing a Bruins baseball cap (in Montreal!!). I went over and said "Go Bruins" or something, shook his hand. He didn't speak English, but we managed to understand each other. He mentioned Patrice Bergeron, and we each patted our fist over our hearts in that universal gesture. "Il est mon favori!"
We wished each other luck, threw in another "Go Bruins!" and I went on my way.
Hockey: Connecting people and building bridges – even on hostile ground.
They all said this... who cares! Boston is now a legit well deserved stanley cup champions. I hope they get in this one with absolutely no reserve and play their best hockey.Blues fans think our Dee is slow-ish. So they'll just forecheck hard. Specially since they think Rask can't handle the puck.
Sorry to be picky but 3rd final in 9 years.No matter what happens, this team will make the finals for the 3rd time in 8 years which in itself in today's NHL is phenomenal.
Bruins win in 5 with Rask as the MVP.
I wish my dad was here to see this as well. He was a Leafs fan but he loved heavy hockey. He hated Mats Sundin, or at least hated his lack of drive.I'm nervous yet eerily calm right now.
I just wish my dad was here to see this run.
He can't. Every time he comes out of his crease to play the puck I cringe.

Right with you fellow BC brother! (That’s British Columbia not Boston College)Damn your right but I still love you.
