GReat series, but it felt like MTL had no gas left too many injury...well on thins i SURE

No gas,can't skate,brutal give away's,get rid of hamrlik,eller,gomez,hamrlik,kostitsyn,sopel and a few others.
We need size,grit and skating ability and defencemen that can play their positions properly kinda like how hamrlik can't.
They better sign the "wiz" !

That game should have been 5-1, Price saved them multiple time. NO QUESTION who the better team was, but the Bruins were a combination of undisciplined and unlucky (even an impartial fan will agree the elbowing, "boarding" and high sticking (didnt touch him) calls shouldnt be called in a game 7), they almost gave it away. Price was incredible all series though, except for the dive in game six. Speaking of, what was up with that (I dont even know what to call it) "fall" by Subban? Great talent but he makes me scratch my head sometime!!

Thanks B's fans for making me laugh during all the first round with all the refs drama.
Have fun with Philly with your 0/22 PP(something like that).


That was a good series and was very close.

My take on it. Subban was holding the Bruin player's stick between his arm and body and in trying to keep it there, he was easily pulled over.

And yes, he is a great talent who will only get better :)

Philly could barely get past the mighty mouse Sabres. Bruins in 6.

A spectacular series with a heartbreaking ending. I really thought after Subban drilled that shot that the Habs would take it. So proud of the effort by everybody on the team. Such a bright future.

Kudos to the B's.

Bruins have goal keeping, Philly has goal scorers. Should be a interesting match. If I had to put money on it I would say Philly in 6. Montreal should be proud, they did far better than anyone really expected them too and Price/Subban just keep looking better!

it's nice that this year the Bruins can take a shot at the cup (the Habs had theirs last year, and good perspectives for next season). same as last year, I liked the round 1 match-ups better than the 2nd round match-ups, will maybe take a little time-out from late-night / early morning TV watching :) with Ehrhoff, Seidenberg, Sturm, Goc (IR) there are still 4 Germans in the race for the cup, probably a new record

Talking about down to the wire, in Game 7 OT. The series has many ups and downs. I wonder what the Habs will do this off-season to adjust the team a bit to improve them for next season and playoffs?

Well, it looks like Boston and Philly battle each other again. First thing that comes to mind is I wonder if Krejci will get into Mike Richards' face after what happened last year?
