YES!!!!!!!! BRUINS WIN!!!! UNBELIEVEABLE!!!

 

#BOSTONSTRONG

[italstallianion]

You guys probably feel an earthquake in Boston, but it's the fans going ape s***.

 

It'd be like that if I was still in college over there, there were more passionate Bruins fans than passionate Red Sox fans, and we won a World Series my sophmore year.

Man, the Caps are taking it up the you know what

 

 

.....without lube.

[Thunder]

If anyone gets access to highlights, shoot me the URL. I missed the last part, following my mojo in OT after I read a book during the comeback.

[Northern Star]

Maple Leafs out = good

Maple Leafs choking in game 7 = wonderful

[Standing Room]

That was the biggest Bruins comeback in my lifetime as a fan.

[mvp 78]

"According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Bruins are the first team in NHL history to win a Game 7 after trailing by three goals in the third period."

[Youk Of The Nation]

I'm not even a Bruins fan and that was awesome.

It's the biggest Bruins comeback period.

I'm not either and I agree. I wish the Rangers lost as well but it'll make for an interesting next round series.

Props to the Bruins. I do feel sorry for Leafs fans, because as a longtime Sox fan I know all too well what it feels like to be that close and have it snatched away. I used to be a Black Hawks fan, way way back. Now I'm sort of a Penguins fan because of Crosby, who grew up pretty close to me and who knows some members of my extended family.

Ilya Bryzgalov loves him some Josef Stalin.

 

Stalin is a very controversial figure. How do you feel about him?

 

“Positive. I see logic in his action. Not without going too far, of course. But he came to power in a country that had just lived through a revolution. There were so many spies, enemies, traitors there. A lot of people still had guns after the civil war. The country was in ruins, [people] needed to survive somehow. The country needed to be rebuilt, and in order to do that it needed to be held in iron hands.

 

“Yes, he knew what he was doing. He is described as a ‘bloody tyrant.’ But at the time it couldn’t be any other way. Yes, there were innocent people who were victims of repressions… But it happens.

20 million dead = "it happens."

[Divinity]

This should be a good series

 

Lets go Rangers!

[Northern Star]

Wouldn't mind seeing BOS/NYR and CHI/DET both go seven.

[italstallianion]

Bruins Win!!!

[Dojji]

Welcome back, Playoff Marchand.

[Dojji]

The Campbell line is our third line.

 

It's time to recognize this.

 

Also... where on earth did Torey Krug come from and why am I only now hearing of him?

[Standing Room]

Krug came from the AHL where he broke scoring records for a rookie defensemen. NBC refuses to acknowledge that the AHL exists because they don't have a contract with them.

[Dojji]

Huge game by our real third line.

[Standing Room]

Workman effort from the Merlot line. Very impressive win considering how lopsided the officiating was. Rangers have had ten straight power plays go their way at home.

[Bellhorn04]

Have to put in a plug for the Halifax Mooseheads, who will be playing in the Memorial Cup final game on Sunday, for the junior hockey championship of Canada.

[Standing Room]

Off night for Tuukka. That's a game we should have had. I hope we wrap this up Saturday so the captain can get some rest and the rest of the defense can heal up.

[Northern Star]

So sick of seeing the Red Wings going deep in the playoffs but I'm not putting any faith in Chicago coming back.

[Standing Room]

Yeah, doesn't look like Chicago has the mental toughness to make a deep run. They're only sabotaging themselves by blowing their lids over every petty thing Detroit does.

As a Red Wings Fan

 

:harhar:

 

This series is also not over. Chicago has the team to come back from 3-1

[italstallianion]

I don't care about the Red Wings, but I just want the Blackhawks to lose so I'm fine with it thus far. Now the Rangers just need to go away too.

[Northern Star]

Odds of Rangers winning against this Bruins team are lower than my chances of scoring with Kate Upton.

[Standing Room]

Penguins dominated the Sens again. They're moving on. That's kind of scary how well they did against a solid defensive team. The Sens are obviously a let less experienced than the Bruins though and it seems like they had already given up on the series. When your captain tells reporters he doesn't think the team can come back from down 3-1, you know you're in trouble.

[redsoxrules]

I'd be shocked if the Pens don't win the cup. They just destroyed one of the best goaltender during the year. Their offense is just way too good.

[Standing Room]

I felt the same way about the Canucks in 2011. It's different when you get to wear down a skill team over seven games.
