Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over
I have been slow to get on the Crawford bandwagon (I thought he looked shaky in Game 5 against the Kings.) But man oh man, did he look good last night. Mercy.
Horton could be a big loss for the B's, but they did it without him in 2011. Wait a minute! Blackhawks>>>>Canucks. Yep, big loss.

Best quote so far on hfboards...
"I want to have the gayest mansex with Corey Crawford right now. I don't swing that way and he probably doesn't either, but I soooooo want to. What a goalie."

Saw this one on twitter: "All right they one that one, but there is still 77 periods of hockey left in this series."

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over
I was amused to see posts about potential power failures, because I was thinking of Bruins-Oilers 1990. There was a power failure in that game, in addition to the three OTs. The power failure wasn't due to a storm; it was the antiquated electrical system in the Boston Garden
Still remember Shawn Walsh sitting in the stands, looking bored.

I was at the Twins game last night. I was very happy to see the game still going when I got home.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over
You rpobably saw almost a full game!!
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...
Anyway, the Bruins had no puck luck at all last night otherwise I think they would have won. Plus the fact that Crawford had an awesome game. That game tying goal was such a fluke, and I don't mean that to be negative against the Blackhawks. Not saying they wouldn't have eventually tied that up but man, nowhere near the net and it glances off Andrew Ference. Bummer. And I kinda wish Torey Krug had scored there in OT. Would have made up for being the reason for Chicago's second goal.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over
What a great way to open the Finals! Boston comes out and looks great in the first period. Chicago dominates the second. The third is pretty even with each side having the run of play for chunks of time. Then, the Bruins outplay Chicago in the 1st OT. Chicago outplays Boston in the 2nd OT. Finally, Boston outplays Chicago in the 3rd OT, but the bounces go the Blackhawks way.
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.

Goodness, I can't even imagine Scarlet at that 4OT game. Thank God I was up in the second deck opposite corner

It was not a pretty sight.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over
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.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over
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.
No argument here.

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.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over
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.
