Utterly disgraceful performance by the Bruins last night....& for most of that series!!

Montreal and NY will be a decent series with stellar goaltending on both teams with Price and Lundqvist. You have to give Montreal credit here for surviving elimination and upping their game in a game 7 on the road. I didnt like the officiating last night in that game...a game 7 and they call ticky-tack penalties with so much on the line.

Officiating was awful Shawn....but not why the Bruins lost that game or the series....SLOPPY D & not burying their chances!!

As was Lucic's performance in the handshake line. What a fkn sore loser crybaby. Surprised to see Boston lose. Had band practice so I didn't see the game, but heard there were some marginal calls both ways.

Another game 7 in the west. Gonna have to say go kings! And in the east- I'm on the ny bandwagon, unless they play Chicago in the finals, of course. If that happens, the gloves are off tommy!! Lol

the boston fans were hurling stuff at the Canadians on the ice after the game. it reminded me of an era gone by at Madison square garden in the 70's.

cliff nothing would please me more than to face you in the finals. but I can't think ahead, it's still a tall order to get there.

The Penguins showed that they're softer than baby powder. Team full of pussies in my opinion and it will never change until they start drafting or buy some fucking grit. That team is softer than garnier fructis. Fuck em till they do something to protect their stars.

That's pretty much it. They continually fail to put the needed supporting cast around the core talent. And as great as Sid is as a player, he appears to be a lousy captain IMO.

Looks like bylsma and ray Shero both got the axe in Pitt.

Too many turnovers and people caught watching the puck and not the man...first goal should never have happened and it was a slam dunk. Chara I thought played poorly and was wearing down the deeper the B's went.

Bylsma was retained...Shero was axed. They are going to allow the new GM to make the decisions regarding the coaching staff, so Danny is still not necessarily safe. The lead candidate is internal though (Asst GM Jason Botterill), which likely plays in Bylsma's favor.

So help me God I can not take another season of watching Disco Dan get outcoached!

Agreed Shawn....& Chara had been wearing down since the olympics & the loss of Seidenberg/McQuaid!!

I had thought Shero did a good job bringing quality players. Pittsburgh had a decent mix of players, they're just not utilized nor structured for playoff type of hockey. I could see Bylsma getting canned but the GM? I guese Mario and partner want a clean slate and fresh start. Trade Crosby for couple cheaper players who show up to play in April, May and June as all the other months of the season are fairly meaningless. One goal in what was it, 18 playoff games fort he NHL's poster child? That is not star player performance and a country mile form super star performances.
