B's in 5 or 6. Get it done boys!

 

Exactly what I was thinking. Chicago is going to run themselves ragged trying to get around Boston's defence and goaltending.

Until their total collapse the Leafs were doing okay against your Bruins, I'm sure the Hawks will be able to get some offense going, Chara's only out there for half the game, not all the game.

I wouldn't call them my Bruins, haha.

 

But I will say that the Bruins D is +38 in this years playoffs, while Chicago's D is +20. That's a big difference (both good numbers though), but considering that Boston only allowed the Penguins, WHO LED THE LEAGUE IN GOALS FOR in regular season, to earn 2 goals in 4 games... that's why I gave Boston the edge. Boston is also averaging 3.1 goals per game while Chicago only 2.7. Crawford has the better GAA, but Rask has the better save percentage. Lastly, the Bruins have taken an average of 4 more shots per game than Chicago has this playoffs. The Hawks are really going to have to come out guns blazing to take the B's down.

 

Statistically the Bruins are the better team in almost every category.

 

Brett, I agree, Chicago will get some offense going, but I don't think they have the stamina to bring the Cup back to Chi-Town. What do I know, I sell Audio/Visual services for a living... I'm not an analyst! lol

 

 

*I had time to count and use math to come up with these numbers... it's a slow morning. So please, correct me if I'm wrong because I hate math.

Saad went to my high school before he left as a sophomore to go to the Saginaw Spirit, so I want the hawks to win. However like you guys said earlier the b's d is playing unreal. The pens came in to the conference finals with around a 4 goals per game avg in the playoffs, only to have 2 goals in 4 games. That's insane. Yeah the hawks are another good offensive team but for them to be successful I think the big players need to step up.

Yea, but the Leafs series was a quite a few games ago and it takes some teams awhile to get going. I think the way Boston played against Pitts and NY is far more representative of their playoff game. They were sluggish coming into the playoffs.

just me or did thornton jump into that corner hit in the first period?

Looked like he jumped to me.  Should have been a penalty.  Kind of surprised me because Thornton plays a real clean game and lets his fists do the talking if he wants to get nasty.

The flies buzzing around the overhead cameras are starting to drive me nuts.

does anyone know what happen to Hossa during warm-ups? He could have probably helped his team out tonight if he played

Something with his hamstring.

The Bruins are hard to beat.

Go Hawks Go

 

...I wouldn't mind seeing Jagr win it tho.

[ken6473]

What a beauty pass by Jagr.

I'm a Habs fan and I still can't see Chicago pulling out a win, the way Boston is playing as a team and the way that Rask is playing individually. Boston is just too good defensively- similar to LA just healthier and tighter as a four-line team. 

agreed Boston is playing an unreal game. i would like chicago to win but boston is playing great hockey right now

[Hab4life]

I'd still like to know why the fuck that Hawks goal wasn't allowed back in game two, it was clearly in the net and the ref 's whistle never went, pretty bush league when they can overturn a goal because he had intention of blowing the play dead but never actually did, I mean   kinda rule is that. Is this what the game is coming to?? Huge croc a shit IMO.

 

Can't disagree that the bruins are playing solid hockey in every aspect of the game, the PK is awesome. As much as I hate that rat Marchand, I'd love to have him on my team.

 

Still early but the Hawks need the next one or their in tough me thinks.

[Dupes]

This is a crazy game!
