I thought they were a bubble team to start the season so I guess the second round was a bonus.

Series proved 2 things, the Bruins were junk 5 on 5 and Charlie McAvoy is destined for the Hall some 20 years from now.

Least surprising update ever. That looked nasty. I guess that means Holden is back in.

The league confirmed that they haven't said anything to him. I think last night the refs could have matched him and Callahan up and sent a subtle, "knock it off, Brad" message. Give Callahan a rough for the gloves to the face and Marchand an unsportsmanlike and maybe he stops.

He's taking a page out of Esa Tikkanen's book.

This Vegas team just won't go away. I was expecting their defense to wilt but they spend so little time in ther zone and when they have Fleury has bailed them out.

One of us was, one of us decided to play douche. You decide which was which.

What, we haven't moved on to simply critiquing content rather than discussing the series?

Aren't you late for a venting spot post about how some company, car, or other such shit disappointed you?

Tying goal never should have happened. If that missed trip on McAvoy was a play the other way people on this site would have lost their shit.

Donato will finally be in the lineup. Adding that skill could be just the thing to help them 5 on 5 as they'll have plenty of that skill up and down the lineup.

For a second I thought that post had a different author. As for the officiating, I'm still praying for consistency, from game to game and from period to period. Pastrnak getting 4 minutes for the high stick that wasn't in game 2 and then no call being made last night on the swipe right across Chara's face kind of peeved me a little. My favorite Pierre moment came last night when he was talking about Marchand's slashing penalty. Pierre was admonishing Marchand because of the zero tolerance slash which will always be called and then the producers decide to show the Stralman chop from game 2 on Marchand that wasn't called. As for this series, if the Bruins can't find a way to come out with better starts and generate some 5 on 5 goals then this thing will be over right quick.

Did you try going a 1/2 size up or down or try a different width?

No unbaked skate is going to give you the same feel of fit as one that's been baked and skated in by the player.

Spotting them 2 goals in the first 4 minutes isn't exactly a recipe for success.

He has actually had a rather clean record but I do think this will result in a game. If he kept coming with his right shoulder it would have been fine but when he twisted to lead with his left and made direct contact with the jaw, that is where he screwed up. Concussions may occur without main point of contact to the head but broken jaws do not.

Some people just have to get the last word.

Oh, for Chist's sake, I think this has run its course.

This is absolutely nothing new and definitely not a CCM only kind of thing. Most would be surprised at how far back along the gear evolutionary ladder some pros go for their gear.

I actually hated the "own highstick" call that put them down for 4 minutes more. There have been tough calls all over the place. I think the Pens got robbed of a goal Sunday because the ref was way too slow in getting to the net.

We're not saying an elite goalie is all a team needs.

Just having something pre-molded to your foot is a nice option. No more scrambling to get your feet in and worrying about how well the pro shop or at home mold goes.

This isn't basketball. The team with the best player in hockey doesn't always win.Goalies that are in the conversation of the elite group get their teams higher in the standings and deeper into the playoffs.

Try to lose that extra stick handle and get the puck in a shooting position earlier. It will give you more options.

When the overwhelming concensus of impartial folks call out the officiating then, as they say, where there's smoke there's fire. At least I didn't have to suffer through Emrick tonight so there's a silver lining.
