Canuck win tonight already gives us 3 extra days of rest. Would love to see Chicago take the next game in a long, bloody, tiring battle. Maybe a grueling 4 OT thriller where Toews gets cut in half?

Talk about a total lack of class from Boston in this game, which has now finally come to a climax late in the third. Ever since they were down 2-0 in the 2nd, they've been playing downright dirty hockey, slashing and tripping and cross checking and just trying to hurt players. Flyers have been getting shaken up left and right, including Boucher going out in the 1st (though nobody was responsible for that). 2 Bruins decided they were going to check Mike Richards in the face, then begin beating the shit out of him until teammates skated over. Fans actually threw stuff on the ice late in the 2nd when a scrum occurred near the Bruins net.
You're up 3-1 in this series and you're losing at home. You're on a team with plenty of veterans and you've had a great playoffs so far. You play for an Original Six franchise. You're losing 4-0. It's been a frustrating game...but have some fucking class. You're a historic franchise celebrating a Stanley Cup winning goal by your greatest player in your history that happened EXACTLY 40 years ago today, and you're going to play like this? It's like the Charlestown Chiefs without the humour. I have some affection for the O6 franchises, given their great histories and everything that goes along (including some great jerseys), but no love anymore for Boston. My feelings of this team has progressed from "I don't want them to win when they play my team" to "This is a group of players who have no discipline, class, or idea of how to handle themselves in a tough spot." Fuck the Bruins. Up until now this has been a (mostly) tremendous series for BOTH sides, including some truly classic games. And it has now been completely ruined by a total disregard for any sort of etiquette. Fuck Savard, fuck Recchi, fuck Chara. What a disgraceful showing. I'd be embarrassed if I was a Bruins fan not because of their performances but because of the way they acted.

All eyes on Luongo again? His LA series was a little up and down, but then he did poor to stop those 'Hawks for the second year in a row. I don't know if he was pulled at all during this game, so it's an estimate (assuming he played full 60), but 3.52 GAA in the series with an .897 SV%. D has been banged up, but that doesn't cut it.
Be curious to hear what you thought of the series. Underperformers, etc. I just get the feeling that Luo has developed the same sort of Nabokov aura about him- one that I'm all too familiar with. Great regular season, a gamer who can eat 70+ starts in a great regular season... Then either falters or is outplayed in the postseason.

As for who to root for, I see only two acceptable teams. Montreal and San Ho. Montreal being an 8 seed, about to knock of Cindy, and they're Canadian- that makes sense. The Sharks can get some vengeance and kill off the Blackhawks, and, hey, we're pretty awesome to boot
