I do not, but that was a good win to get despite not playing all that well ... but still scoring twice as many goals as Pitt did the entire series.
 
Playing almost two games back to back lol. But I agree, great win. Great game. I knew they wouldn't disappoint. I hope Horton can come back. As deep as the bruins are, losing him could be a series defining moment :(
 
Exactly. In surprising news, Pittsburgh has extended Bylsma for 2 years and Malkin for 8... working on a Letang deal. I could've sworn it was Bylsma's job this season. No cup since '09, two early exits and a sweep? Not exactly good results, specially with the cast of players Shero has given him. Curious to see what will happen. They're window is closing, specially after this season. Neal is locked up but Morrow, Murray and Iginla are UFAs. Time to kiss A LOT of talent goodbye. I think that they need that. They need a TEAM (aka Boston... Chicago, even Detroit) not a cast of prima donnas. They need role players that can complement their stars, not more stars. Time to dig into their minor league affiliates.
 
Exactly, even though the Hawks had to dismantle after the last cup, they have a solid core and more on the way (Leddy, Saad, Bickell, Shaw, Frolik and more in the minors coming soon) ... with the cap, that is the only way for sustained success, have group of core players and fill in around them from your farm system and some selective veteran pickups to fill in the gaps. Pitt had to give up a lot to get those guys and will end up with nothing to show for it. They have enough with Crosby to keep them as a 6-8 seed type team that might occasionally do better and occasionally worse. But teams like Boston, Detroit, Chicago, and LA will be competitive year after year.
 
This should be a good one. The Hawks clearly need to win one of the next two ... and if that happens, I think we are going 7 and a few more OT games. I think it is time to get Stalberg back on the ice in lieu of Bollig (not just for the last turnover, but he was not playing well before then and Stalberg would be the fastest guy on the ice.
 
Oh Snap, Crackle and Pop! What a rice krispy treat this is! GO BRUINS! Win at home to make things interesting for the Hawks!
 
Was it ever! Holy shit snacks! I wasn't surprised about the Hawks scoring six, I was shocked with the Bruins scoring 5! lol, What a game!
 
So a bit of coach's musical chairs. Vignault off to NY, Tortella got offered the Canucks job, Ruff off to the Stars...

In other news, can't wait for tonight's game! AAAH!
 
So far, so good. It will be hard for whoever loses this one to win 2 in a row ... these teams are pretty evenly matched.

I think Ruff will be a good fit for Dallas with the team they have.
 
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! This is the first loss that really hurt. 2 in a row will be hard. Even if Boston wins at home winning again in Chi-Town will be a tall order. Chicago is showing why they were #1 this season.
 
That was amazing .. I think someone could hit me over the head with a baseball bat and I would still be in a great mood today

Nice to see Toronto is keeping it classy
