Bruins/Pittsburgh
The Conference Finals!
Do the B's stand a chance against the talent-heavy Penguins? Will team depth outlast team skill? Will physicality win out over finess?
Will anger and payback be enough motivation for the B's (Iginlia, Cook/Savard)
This should be fun to watch!
Predictions?

My hometown loyalties want the B's to find a way to get it done in a long series.
B's have the edge in goaltending and defense, but the way the Pens can score goals is downright scary.
Emotion says B's in 7
Reality is probably Pittsburg in 5 or 6.
Hope emotion carries the day!

if the b's bring their heavy hitting- finish the checks- crash the net- and put the puck on the net game they will win in 6 or 7. they can't just skate with them and claude will push this point. if not it won't be a long series.

The Pens have goaltending issues. Vokoun has been erratic, and Fleury has been an absolute sieve. Put enough pucks on net, and they'll score.

I agree they have to shot the puck and look for rbounds forget the fancy #^&#^&#^&#^&. If the Bruins play their neutral zone game it should slow Crosby down, and Chara needs to step it up he has been playing like he's dead for a couple of months now |

Tuukka shuts out the mighty Pittsburgh offense in game 1! Could not ask for a better outcome. Series does not get won after one game so lets hope he B's continue to thwart their attack.
Crosby is a whiny baby!
Cooke is a true villain.
Go B's!!!!!!

That game was very entertaining, so satisfying to shut them out. Tuukka time.  I hope he can keep that up.
Our power play killing was huge, theirs was impressive how aggressive they are.
Glad to see the Pens strategy of hitting us and trying to out physical the B's backfired and all they got was some iron and a puck barely slide across the crease. I doubt they will try to be hitting like that in game 2 but who knows. Props to Patrice for going at it with Malkin 
Now if Thorton can get on the ice while Cooke is out there, I'd like to see Cooke's head get knocked off.
Crosby is definitely a whiner
I thought the whole team contributed to this first game win and I think the coach did a great job, I hope they learn from it and can score even more next game. |

I was hoping the big man was going to bust open his jaw...that would create some buzz. It could still happen but I would bet money that both coaches are instructing the players to avoid using your fists in this one.

Crosby had zero intention of dropping his gloves with Chara. His plan was to goad Chara into dropping his, and then turn turtle so the linesmen would rush in. Chara goes off for 5, he keeps skating. Chara just laughed. |

Good game for Boston. Tuuka had the horseshoe, but was solid. Expect them to challenge him more by crashing the net. Also expect to see Lucic catch up with Neal in an open ice collision, after Neal leveled him from behind last night. Milan just looked up, took his number and kind of smiled.... Great to get a win, but was not a 3-0 performance. Pitt's PP should be able to win a couple games for them. Still not confident in a series win, but will be interesting if we get to 2-2...

The goals that were scored were sweet, nice to see the offence playing defense, but thos long passes of Pitt are going to come back to hurt, also Pitt from my eyes played a faster more aggressive game, following up checks etc. Granted boston won some key battles on the board (Jaga) and some face off's but i am not convinced Pitt is done.
1991 boston went up 2-0 and then loat 4 in a row. Lets hope history doesnt repeat itself.

That is quite the stretch to come up with something positive about Pittsburghs play. The B's have essentially shut down and snuffed out that team. Hard to imagine that it will not continue. I know, it is hockey and anything can happen but wow, just wow..... |

IMO 2 way hockey teams usually beat one way hockey teams no matter how good an offense they have. Keep it up and I got a good feeling about this series.
