Sports Talk - Title TownSports Talk - Our Home for the 2004/2007 World Champion Red Sox, Super Bowl XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX Champion Patriots! SEVENTEEN TIME NBA Champion Boston Celtics, 2011 winners of Lord Stanley's Cup Boston Bruins!!!
Time to defend The Cup! Looking forward to these playoffs. Do not want to look past Washington but Pittsburgh looks to be the biggest hurdle in the East with The Rangers close to as tough.
The Capital's goaltending situation is their weakest link and I am gonna say Bruins in 5. Gotta try to avoid multiple 7-game series this time around. Look for Bergeron to get series MVP.
Hopefully the B’s get by them and Pitt/Philly beat each other up. That is going to be a physical series……..
That article is from 2010. Has the steroid talk resurfaced?

fishbones, you are right! My bad. On 98.5 last night on my way home they were talking about the steroid issues with Washington for a good 30 min. The way I heard it was that the case was opened back up. I googled that story and didn’t look at the date. I can't find any new news on it so I guess they were talking on 98.5 about 2010 not 2012!! Thanks for clarifying that and sorry for the "mislead"

Bruins outplayed them throughout most of the game. Obvious that the Caps were content to play defense and hope for a break to win the game. It almost worked. How many times does that happen when one team dominates but cannot score and the outplayed team gets a late-lucky goal and steals a game? Glad to see the B's avoided that outcome last night and ya gotta believe that if they continue to use that strategy, the Caps are going be playing golf much sooner than later cuz the B's will certainly start getting a few of those bouncing pucks to go in.
I'll say it again- there is NO better sporting event than playoff hockey!
well played game! great checking on both sides! should've been at 3-0 b's - puck did'nt bounce our way all night. never seen so many pucks on the ice right in front the the caps net, i was afraid that the caps may steal one. playoff hockey is the bestest!!!
I watched a playoff game about 10 yrs ago with a buddy, been a hockey fan ever since. Unfortunately the sleep lab at the hospital didn't have the proper channels, but they did have national geographic with a bf tuna show that was cool. Go B's
Did you guys see this at the end of the game? Wow! Tough night for him. Highstick to the face, almost got in a fight, and got his mellon smacked with a pane of glass........

Lucic a cry baby? Really? He didn't have his best game last night but he was still working where the trench work often needs to get done, away from the puck. I can't wait till the next game now. I think this will turn into a mini philly-pitt game 3. I just want to see Lucic drop the gloves on the opening drop and get it out of the way, don't care if wash takes the early lead.
So now we have a best of three. Who would've thunk it? Every game has been tight and I gotta believe it could go either way. Yes, the B's have dominated play a good chunk of the time but the Caps have had the answer in net and last night the ffffing refs did everything possible to assure a long series with two bogus calls on Boychuck and Bergeron. Not taking adavantage of their only power play (and on any power play this series) does not help the cause. It was not easy last year and it looks like if it's gonna happen again this year, it will be more of the same. I hope my heart is strong enough!
I guess we now know why it is so difficult to repeat. The FFFFING Refs will not let it happen. What a BOGUS call in the last three minutes of a tie game! I can understand calling a game tight but that was re-ffffing-diculous! Disgusting.

caps were more physical, better disciplined, and played smothering d. they sucked the b's into that type of hockey the whole series and deserved to win. caps game plan was perfect. b's skating was a 1/2 stride off and and they did'nt finish checks for a good part of the series. recipe for disaster.
