Capitals ousted, this is certainly a surprise.

[QUOTE=MF41590;246169]Capitals ousted, this is certainly a surprise.[/QUOTE] And a welcome one from this side of the bracket!

Teams are cruising this time around. Great to see Washington out, but I was hoping Nashville could knock out Vancouver. And it's not looking good for my Wings at all...

That was almost too much for me to handle.

Crazy last few minutes! You live to fight another day!

I'm hoping Nashville can do that tomorrow.

The Garden is going CRAZY!

And the Preds stay alive!!!!!!!!!!! Whooooooo!

[QUOTE=Dandelion;246874]RIP BoogeyMan!! :([/QUOTE] I saw this on the news last night. The lack of information made it sound like a suicide.

[QUOTE=Dandelion;246878]I thought that too... but I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that he was expecting his younger brothers visit, so I'm not sure... I was wondering if it could be a residual head injury that lingered... he was out almost all year with concussion side effects...[/QUOTE] Possible, but I suppose we'll see over the next few days. Whatever it was, it didn't appear to be a crime. If there was, they would have definitely mentioned it.

A damn shootout tonight. Thankfully, it has moved in the B's favor thus far.

Ok, now I am worrying.

Thank goodness!

It is nice to get this win. On to Tampa.

Tim Thomas is holding the line, this far. p.s. I saw that photo earlier molds. I wish there was more "fan interaction" near the penalty box at games I go to, lol.

So far, so good. Hopefully we can keep this lead or increase it.

[QUOTE=tatertots;247932]or increase it.[/QUOTE] Ask and you shall receive!

Big win. Promising win. Hard fought win.

I'm so happy Patrice is back and in good form! I missed him out on the ice.

[QUOTE=tatertots;247947]I'm so happy Patrice is back and in good form! I missed him out on the ice.[/QUOTE] He is a difference maker. I loved watching him out there. Him being back gives me confidence in this team.

[QUOTE=Bacchus;247953]Him being back gives me confidence in this team.[/QUOTE] Definitely. I was worried when they said Patrice would be out because even the slightest difference in lines and messing with players comfort levels can screw up the whole dynamic and lose the games for you. It's great that he's back and it's even better that he is back and playing well so the team can get back to normal and crush the competition! ;)

Bruins! Bruins! Bruins!

[QUOTE=tatertots;248128]Bruins! Bruins! Bruins![/QUOTE] Its been a great start!

[QUOTE=Bacchus;248129]Its been a great start![/QUOTE] Promptly followed by a huge collapse...

[QUOTE=molds13;248131]Promptly followed by a huge collapse...[/QUOTE] And then followed by an amazing, finish? ;)

It was the B's game to win after the first, but not meant to be I suspect. There are still three games to be played with the Bruins holding the home ice advantage.

I left for work after the first period and was happy thinking that the B's had it in the bag, then I come home to this? No fun.
