OverPowerYou Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 I'm rooting for a tie. I'm rooting for a natural disaster. Realistically though, who do we want to win? I'm leaning towards the Philly side of things because Boston is just irritating. They annoy the heck out of me, plus Philly fans know just a little bit more than Boston fans.
SwampD Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Van City might win this series, but they are going to be in one heck of a fight.
bunomatic Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Van City might win this series, but they are going to be in one heck of a fight. It'll be another 7 game series and I think Pekker Renne is probably a slightly better goalie than Luongo so this will be a tight one.
Iron Crotch Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 It'll be another 7 game series and I think Pekker Renne is probably a slightly better goalie than Luongo so this will be a tight one. I think it is a really bad match-up for Nashville. Vancouver dominated them in the regular season and Nashville couldn't get any offense generated against Vancouver's defensive system. Rinne is amazing, but if the shots are 40-10 it may not matter. Either way, I'll be at games 3 & 4 on Tuesday and Thursday in Nashville!
OverPowerYou Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 It's official: I want Nashville to make it to the finals just because I like Shea Weber's playoff beard.
Buffalo Wings Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 I'm rooting for a natural disaster. Realistically though, who do we want to win? I'm leaning towards the Philly side of things because Boston is just irritating. They annoy the heck out of me, plus Philly fans know just a little bit more than Boston fans. I don't know why, but I picked Boston to win the whole thing...I suppose I should root for them. However, I know two Flyers fans and they're good people (shocking, I know), so I'd be happy for them if they won. But they had their shot last year and Boston hasn't been there in a long time. Perhaps the Bruins have a little revenge factor going, too. It's really hard to say who I want...this is like watching a cat fight between your two ex-girlfriends.

Either way, I'll be at games 3 & 4 on Tuesday and Thursday in Nashville! I think they split their 4 games in the regular season 2 a piece. Thats certainly not domination. That being said I do think the canucks win this one but I think it goes longer. I say seven and after last nights performance my belief that Rinne is better than Luongo may be right. The canucks win in spite of Luongo not because of him. Darren Pang could win the vezina on that team.
Chief Enabler Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 Bruins meat and potato line giving challenges 2-1boston. Lucid-Horton-krejci
X. Benedict Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 Bruins meat and potato line giving challenges 2-1boston. Lucid-Horton-krejci You can see why Boston really chose to keep Krejci and deal Kessle. Very solid in all zones. Nate Horton (how can he just lose Briere like that?) ............but he's still been good.
Kristian Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 You can see why Boston really chose to keep Krejci and deal Kessle. Very solid in all zones. Nate Horton (how can he just lose Briere like that?) ............but he's still been good. Makes amends with a goal, and Recchi another to go up 3-1. Boucher already looking like.... Well, Boucher....

Nate Horton (how can he just lose Briere like that?) ............but he's still been good. B's looking a lot sharper than against mtl. Flyers typical play, whiny cheap shots and bad goaltending, and kinda slow..... I don't remember bruins letting kessel loose like leafs have this year.
X. Benedict Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 Makes amends with a goal, and Recchi another to go up 3-1. Boucher already looking like.... Well, Boucher.... :lol: Even though his save percentage was great against Buffalo...he wasn't seeing many scoring chances. Boston is going to live Boucher's kitchen.

I don't remember bruins letting kessel loose like leafs have this year. Philly isn't as nearly as fast as Montreal. Philly is actually a better match-up for Boston than the Habs IMO.
Chief Enabler Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 Philly isn't as nearly as fast as Montreal. Philly is actually a better match-up for Boston than the Habs IMO. I think I will need to watch this entire series just because of the meltdown last year Mil bury is such a homer......
X. Benedict Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 I think I will need to watch this entire series just because of the meltdown last year Mil bury is such a homer...... A Proud Boston tradition. :lol:
Kristian Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 Wow. Boston is exposing Philly's goaltending in the worst way, man if only we knew how to clear the zone :wallbash:
Chief Enabler Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 Is Leighton going to show back up now? JVR represents to solidify first star of the game status 5-2 now
X. Benedict Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 Philly's goaltending is just brutal. Because the Bruins have a presence at center (and decent but not great centers) Boucher's fat rebounds are goals. It won't be boring. Laviolette's Goalie Roulette continues. :beer:
X. Benedict Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 Is Leighton going to show back up now? Who knows...they chase Boucher, and Bobrosky wasn't any better.... Back to Leighton? Is he even with the team? These guys are cheesecloth. :lol:
bunomatic Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 Not surprising to see the flyers up to their old tricks. In one sequence Giroux cross checked,hacked and slew footed the same guy. He got the penalty but the official had a choice of which one to call. I think they may have met their match in this one as the B's have a great defence/goaltender and were the best team in the league scoring 5 on 5. And they are big.
OverPowerYou Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 I think I will need to watch this entire series just because of the meltdown last year Mil bury is such a homer...... He's also very annoying and it's blatantly obvious that he only likes the Bruins and hates all other 29 teams. I've never seen someone yell and complain about bad officiating and sound so biased like Milbury did.
Kristian Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 Who knows...they chase Boucher, and Bobrosky wasn't any better.... Back to Leighton? Is he even with the team? These guys are cheesecloth. :lol: And yet, still made us look like an AHL team, running around in our own zone for 40+ minutes a night. If the Bruins can keep vacating their zone like they did tonight again Philly's forecheck, this is going to be a short series. Also means Darcy has a lot more work to do then he might think. Hard to believe they haven't even gotten their PP going yet.

Hard to believe they haven't even gotten their PP going yet. I'm sure coaching has nothing to do with this. Nathan Horton has really been stepping it up these playoffs which should finally kill the Horton/Stafford comparisons.
