Bruins . . . meh.

They should have fired the coach and started over last year after they gave up that 3-0 lead.

Ryan Miller is awesome. Good win for the Sabres.

Tough game.

I don't know much about hockey, but I think there are some positives to take away from this loss, particularly all the shots on goal we had. Our defense to me seemed putrid, but was helped by a bad Montreal offense. And our goalie seemed to suck.

But Price was spectacular I thought.

So glad the NBA Playoffs r starting tmrw.  These first two days of the Stanley Cup playoffs have been snoozers imo with all the shutouts. 

On a Bruins note have to create traffic in front of the net and capitalize on their scoring chances.

They should have fired the coach and started over last year after they gave up that 3-0 lead.

After last night, I am half hoping they get swept, in the hopes it will convince them to fire Claude.

Last night was just a disaster, as the Canadiens completely exploited the B's system by allowing them to control the puck on the perimeter, but maintaining clear lanes for Price to see the shots, keeping the B's from getting anyone in front of the net (although the B's didn't try to hard in that regard), and using their speed to check away any rebounds.

It was absolutely sickening to hear Julien say after the game that they "dominated" much of it.  The Habs were playing games with them, and did exactly what they wanted to do once they got the lead.

What a great game last night for the Bruins, definitely the most exciting game of the series so far.

But if not for my rooting interest in this series, I would would have to say that the most entertaining series has been the Philly/Buffalo battle (though I have to admit that I can't stay up late enough to watch anything but east coast games).

As if it's not enough to see these two talented teams battle, we get the extra spectacle of the Flyers (of all teams!) complaining that the other team is playing too physical, and the Sabers (of all teams!) saying that the other team is complaining too much! It's just awesome.

Great night last night.

'Hawks are slowly crawling back from the dead (and getting in Luongo's head bigtime) plus the B's showing some emotion and resilency.  Guess home ice means nothing in that series.

Caps actually managed to close a series in less than 7 games. A novelty in the Bruce Boudreau era.

I know almost nothing about hockey. But I recognize its excellence as a sport

Please explain to me the abridged version of what's going on here. I can see they're going against Tampa Bay. There's a concussion.

What are the 5 major plot points here.

TP may be administered to willing tutors.

Thank you
