Bruins beat the Capitals 4-3

It was one of the best playoff games I can remember seeing that wasn't an overtime game.I can't believe some media people in america are complaining about the violence in the playoffs this year,i'm loving it



Anybody who hasn't seen the Pens/Flyers game 3,Premiersports are showing it tonight freeview for everybody at 9.30 just before they encrypt for game 4.

Its about time the physical aspect came back into the NHL and it was beginning to get a bit sterile.

Hawks go 2-1 down in the series with the Yotes after losing in O/T at the United Centre. So far all 3 games have gone to O/T.

Big game for the Caps tonight, we have to make sure we take a win at Verizon , I think we're as good as eliminated if we lose this one. Backstroms suspension won't help matters.

Both Vancouver and Pittsburgh won last night to stay in the playoffs.The Pens/Flyers had another amazing game with the Pens scoring the last 8 goals to come back from 3-2 down to win 10-3,both n/m's have been terrible so far in the series.

Hmmm disappointing loss again at home again in O/T for the Hawks who now face elimination in Phoenix being 3-1 down in the series.

I have to be honest I only started watching NHL this year and love the ferocity of it, it's exhilarating but for me the violence at times is too much. I like a bit of biff and big hits in RL but on ice at 30 mph it seems too much at times. Or maybe I'm being soft.

Just f****** brilliant. Spend all that time atop the Eastern Division/Conference, and now facing elimination in the first round of the playoffs.

Bruins force a game 7 against the Capitals

Chicago are out of the playoffs after losing 4-0 last night.Once again Smith in the Coyotes net won it for them,if you swapped the n/m's round I think the Hawks would have won the series 4-0.

Chicago are added to Pittsburgh,Vancouver and Detroit as big tv rating teams already out,Bettman will be praying the Boston and NY win their game sevens or the ratings could drop through the floor.I'll still watch whoever is still in but in the USA the casual fan wants big names(teams or players) to watch and there might not be many left in a couple of days.

As a Capitals fan I know that feeling. I still have flashbacks of Montreal.

Lets go Bruins

Or lets not. Another original 6 team bites the dust in the first round and the 2nd year running the defending Champs have gone out 1st round, Chicago last year and Bruins this year.

I say lets have Nashville V Panthers Final

The 1st round is over and I only managed to predict 2 of the 8 teams to go through.Here is my predictions for the next round

East
NY/Washington
NY to win in 6
Philly/NJ
Philly to win in 5

West
Nashville/Phoenix
Nashville to win in 7
St Louis/LA
St Louis to win in 5

Conference finals start tonight with NY/NJ and it's Phoenix/LA in the other.I'm hoping for a LA/NJ final but it'll probably be NY/Pho.

I'm gonna call a Devils v Yotes final. Hopefully the NJ V NY match up should be belting.

Rangers take game 1 3-0 against the Devils and LA take game 1 with a 4-2 win against the Yotes.

I wouldn't mind Scotty Bowman Jnr trying to see if we can do a trade for Mike Smith, think he would be pretty impressive between the pipes in the Hawks team.

From almost being down and out in the first round, to taking a 1-0 lead over one of your rivals in the semi finals. It's not healthy being a Rangers fan at the moment!

and then losing the series to them 4-2 with 3 straight losses.

Kings - Devils in the Stanley Cup final.

Boston Bruins have acquired forward Chris Bourque from the Washington Capitals for Zach Hamill.

Yep. I think after two back to back 7 game series, it just got too much. Gutting to be out at the 2nd to last hurdle.

Still, at least I have the Kings to support in the SC Finals.

Tim Thomas to take a year off

A couple of big trades have been made in the last few days before free agency starts this weekend.

Toronto traded Schenn to Philly for Van Reimsdyk and Pittsburgh traded Jordan Stall to Carolina for Sutter,a prospect and a 1st round draft pick.

NHl announces salary cap of $70.2 million with a minimum of $54.2 million for 2012/13 season.

Look like Tuukka Rask will be the Bruins no1 this year are agreeing a deal for 1 year
