On a more somber note, in recognition of Derek Boogaard’s very unexpected passing, feel free to leave your condolences and memories of him here at Hockey Wilderness: Derek Boogaard Memorial

we can only hope
but I’m not ready to predict anything. just happy to watch at this point.
I do recall when I was at the TIA Marriot for game & of the Pens series, I watched half the game with a fellow Bolt fan on his way out of town. He thought that if the Bolts could win that series, they had as good a chance as anyone to go all the way…honestly I feel the same way. I knew we could hang with the Caps, I feel the same way about Boston.
Side Topic:
Can/have both Van and SJ shake the choker/loser label this year? (and how)
I think so.

but they both recovered in time
I was surprised to find out that prior to this season, 3 out of 5 teams that forced a game 7 after going in an 0-3 hole won game 7…so this season’s outcomes buck historical trends. But of course it’s a “small sample”…
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Raw Charger
The Eastern Conference finals lay before us and… oh, forget the pretentious crap for right now. We’ze got ourselves some hockey to play. And, it’s important that we all remember GET OFF MY LAWN!

dislike Horton, dislike Horton…
actually that line 5 on 5 will be one of the factors to watch in the whole series.
Side Topic: Does the 'Original 6' Matter Any More?
(stick tap to WDAE Streamer)
Only in marketing. It really shouldn’t be an issue. Even Baseball had only X numer of teams once. The Cincinatti Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates don’t get special treatment because they are some of the older franchises, do they?

Lat SC's for Original 6's
Detroit – 2008
Chicago – 2010
NY Rangers – 1994
Montreal – 1993

Growing up a Rage fan, I had to endure many times hearing “1940!!!”…so to Loaf fans:
“1967!!!”

Bodog.com odds are 7/2 for #tblightning to win Stanley Cup; SJ is 3/1; Boston 5/2 and Vancouver 17/10
Trouble on the ice? Wait! Andre Roy could fix it!!
So, is that supposed to mean SJ is the favorite to win the cup? Then we’re the long shots?
meh…what does Vegas know? They still gotta play the damn game…

Vancouver is the favorite at those numbers
Bolts are the long shot. I actually think the Sharks are by far the best bet at those numbers. I’d take them over the Bruins
by Incipient_Senescence on May 14, 2011 8:01 PM EDT up reply actions
OKay. I’ll take your word for it. I have NO idea how to read that line or who is the favorite. I just figured that the Lightning were the long shot, based on what was being said so far in the playoffs.

no one giving any love to the Bolts
But last I looked Vegas had the money line for the series +120 Boston, -140 Tampa Bay
Considering that Boston has home ice advantage, seems that Vegas is not entirely on the “Lighting have no chance” bandwagon…

The Broons look stale, despite the goal. There’l be some screaming in their locker room.
Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
After one, the score is 3-1 Lightning – the three Tampa Bay goals by Bergenheim, Clark, & Purcell.
Shots are 12-10 Bruins; Hedman & Purcell have two shots each. Hits are 10-10; Malone & Ohlund have two hits each. Faceoffs are 57%-43% Lightning; Lecavalier is 5-2 (71%). Tampa Bay has two turnovres, one steal, and eight blocked shots (Clark has two).

You’d think the Bruins Power Play was all the rage. Not once did they mention the Bolts killing off all three penalties, including the last 2 with a couple of their primary PK guys in the box. Thomas has kept the Bruins in it to this point but the Bolts have dominated at times.

A bunch of sore losers there at the end. Congrats guys for taking the win for game 1.

you know, I think the Bruins were trying to send a message
but it really got lost in translation. They are supposed to be so big, and give the Lightning “fits”, and they were thoroughly beaten tonight.
And then they goon it up at the end. That crap is not going to put any fear in the Bolts, and Boucher will not let the team lose any respect for it. Some old-timers rue this “new age” approach, but I think it might end up un-nerving the Bruins more.
They wanted to instill some fear. They are going to get no reaction. I think that’s going to bother them, and if they start taking more bad penalties it’ll hurt them.

The Pens were effective throwing Tampa Bay’s game off with the physical play in round 1…. Tampa Bay endured and overcane

Was just Tampa Bay’s fifth all time in the city of Boston. It’s first in the Playoffs.

and all those other games did not mean 1/100th of this one
I’m not expecting the Bolts to dominate another game like this…but they sent the message “we belong here”.
maybe the VS guys can start pronoucing Marty’s name right now.

It is late, I am going to officially close this off
The Bolts roll into Boston and overcome Tim Thomas, winning 5-2 to take Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final. Goals by Sean Bergenheim, Brett Clark, Teddy Purcell, Marc-Andre Bergeron, and Simon Gagne for the Lightning. Tyler Seguin and Johnny Boychuk scored for Boston.
You already endured a long layoff before game 1. We get another layoff — until Tuesday — for Game 2.
