It was not a pretty sight.

If the rest of the series is like this, I have a feeling we'll be watching plenty of OT and probably a game 7. These sides appear to be about as even as it gets.

I think Chicago has the better goalie, better finishers, and will win in four or five. The games will be close and contested, but Boston blew a good chance to make it a long hard series.

And I was at the BU-SLU OT game as well. The Academy Awards were on that night. I figured I would be home in time - it was what, a 2 1/2 hour drive back to Boston? I remember calling my mother around 5pm to put a tape in the VCR to start recording it. Ah, memories...

VCR?

Disagree here. I think both goalies are both equally excellent. I think Rask has been more solid throughout the playoffs and more of a reason why Boston is in the Final than Crawford is for Chicago.

better finishers, and will win in four or five. The games will be close and contested, but Boston blew a good chance to make it a long hard series.

No argument here.

Lost everything from before the operation, eh?

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

Biased fan opinion here.

Crawford from what I have seen in the past few years (fantasy team) is not necessarily better than rask. He did play well and have a few good saves in that game and might have even kept them in it. As for the blackhawks, I thought they were all in all the better team. more turnovers, more takeaways, more dynamic east/west offense. Much different team than boston and I can see why they have a whole 7 losses in the RS. Boston had a lot of trouble getting to lose pucks, getting it out of their zone, but did a good job neutralizing the blackhawks neutral zone game.

The key is that IMO the blackhawks seem to overload the puck side, so if you can catch their D pinching, you can create odd man rushes which the bruins did. Fewer turnovers and maybe capitalize on one of these odd man rushes and the bruins can win. More of the same, and this is over in 5.

I think these 4 of 5 games predictions are nuts. #Seven

Bruins are toast, giving away that game kills them

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

I missed the end of the game. I had to call it quits after the first OT. Stupid job.

Here too. Did not want to get up at 5 am after multiple OTs. My mom told me SHE stayed up for the entire game.... so I only feel a little like a loser. She doesn't even really like the NHL - but she likes hockey (and she also doesn't have a job).

I was surprised to see the top 5 TV markets for that game were: Chicago, Boston, Providence, Buffalo.... and Milwaukee.

I post this realizing that Boston has some pretty horrid fans too, but really?

Email sent to us: "I'll be praying for Boston because you just got blown up by Shaw. Enjoy losing the cup." seriously Chicago fans, stop it.

There are a-holes in every single city in America. And in the age of social media, they have a forum to be an a-hole and to get everyone to react to them. (LOOK AT ME!!! Attention!! Woo hoo!!) Ignore and move on.

Agreed. Having spent 3.5 years of my life in Grand Forks, I know sandbagging when I see it. This series goes at least six, and I think it goes seven. The teams are too evenly matched.

I'm glad one of you has her priorities straight.

Decisions, decisions. Tomorrow is a rare appearance by the US Women's National Team in New England. I can go to that game, but it will mean missing game 2 of the SCF. Maybe a coin flip...

Yeah, that's a lot uncalled for...
