    Honestly, I really have 4 teams I despise moreso than a team I am 100% loyal to and hate everyone else.

    I was rooting for the Caps before they got swept too. :s

    Bergeron out for tonight's game 2 in Boston. But it looks like he will indeed return for game 3.

    The Bruins need a stronger defensive showing and more offensive support from the top two lines if they hope to win this one tonight. I have a feeling they will wake up tonight and grind it out for a close win.

    That's good. Checked earlier today and all I saw was he was practicing with the team and it wasn't decided if he would play tonight.

    And hopefully they will wake up. I was saying the same thing after game one in the Montreal series and it didn't look like they did. Thomas was sloppy and really needs to pull it together. Those first 3 goals Saturday should have been saves. First one was ridiculously poor rebound control and the other two were weak shots that even Philly's goaltenders would have stopped. I know all the blame can't be placed on him though. I only saw the first period so I can't comment on the rest of the game.

    Yeah, that one that Kaberle gave up behind the net was entirely his fault, no way Thomas was expecting that to happen. I really hope Kaberle wakes up and gets out of this slump hes in. I hate to see any Bruin play poorly and get the scape goat treatment.

    let me point out the "win is a win" point. i would also like to point out to you that all season long Detroit played the most dominantly in the third, that is where they got bussiness done.

    Hawks didn't take the Nucks anywhere, the Nucks got bored for 2 games, and Crawford stood on his head for game 6 while his team was TOTALLY outplayed - thats how they took the Canucks to game 7.

    In any case, theres no point talking about round 1 of the playoffs when we're already at the conference finals; the Hawks are old news - I'm guessing they have had ample time to perfect their golf swings by now.

    its kinda hard to keep focused when you're up 3-0.. lets hope they don't make mistakes like that for the rest of the run.

    Decided to look up that article (written by a Torontonian). At least he got one thing right.
    No matter what team you’re a fan of, you just can’t root against Ryan Kesler. No, really, you can’t. If you try, the next time you close your medicine cabinet door he’ll be standing right behind you.
