The B's got spanked in the first period.  Just dominated, plain and simple.

[agile_one]

That's why they play 3,Nate. Have faith, buddy.

[Voltron]

They need to step it up, though, Gene.  It is surprising given the whipping they gave the Pens, but you gotta give the Hawks credit for hanging in there in Game 1 and spring-boarding from that heartbreaking win into a nice start tonight.  

 

And while I typed that THE BRUINS SCORE!!!

 

I was about to type the following:

 

But I am with you, Gene, the Bruins are going to step up and take this one.

Thanks for the support, Al. Halfway through the 3rd, and still anyone's game. Both teams came to play.

[robm321]

I no longer have a favorite. Whoever takes it deserves it. Both of these teams kick ass, and it's been a great finals so far.

I'm still drinking, nonetheless.

I had a funny flashback of Gene and I cheering for the Flyers in the hotel bar in Chicago during CanJam.

 

Glad the Bruins came back from their first period crawl.  Fun game.  

[agile_one]

Fun times, Vicki, I remember that well.

Another OT. This is one tough series. A Bs goal off the opening faceoff of OT would suit me just fine.

[boomana]

Yay!

[Aura]

Goddamnit

[agile_one]

Suck it Hawks. Bruins deserved this one with their OT play.

[boomana]

Agree with Gene.  Great OT play.

[skullguise]

Bruins hung in by a thread in first period, Hawks indeed dominated.  Tuukka kept them alive.

 

Dan "Stone Hands" Paille in OT, though.....his hustle showed tonight, good on Julien to put Seguin and his speed on that line.  Seguin's been improving a fair bit, and his passes have been real good the last few games.

 

Back to Boston, let's win the home games!

WooHoo! Ran from the desk chair after hearing the goal. :/

[boomana]

I'm uber tired today.  I don't know if I can stay awake for this game, and certainly don't think I can handle another OT.  Here's hoping the Bruins come out strong in the first two periods.  I think I can make it that long. 

[agile_one]

I'm with you, Vicki. Let's put this one away early.

Somehow, I don't think it will happen that way.

The guy who sings in Boston always reminds me of the cowardly lion singing If I Were King of the Forest.

[Absorbine_Sr]

I don't expect the Hawks to lay down kids...

That is funny because I was laughing in my office while listening to him sing.

To quote my man Gene:  "Suck it Hawks!"

I now officially owe you a hip-check into the wall of your choice when I next see you Al.

[Absorbine_Sr]

I may have to retract that laying down shit. Maybe we shoud just let Crawford on the ice since he seems to be the only Hawk who came to play.

[Voltron]

BRUINS 1, Hawks 0

[Absorbine_Sr]

Don't ya mean 2 - 0 fancy font boy?

[Voltron]

BRUINS 2, Hawks 0

 

 

Happy now? 

Edited June 18, 2013 by Voltron

[agile_one]

Yes, very happy.  

[Absorbine_Sr]

Yep, getting our asses handed to us. However, the Hawks normally play on ice, not white slurpy...
