My heart says Go Canes, but my brain says Bruins in 6.

Third round is where 42 year old Chara will be hurting and may go full pylon.

I'm a Wings guy.  Was born a Wings guy and will die one. However, the Canes are here in town and I'll admit they have caught my interest a bit.
Then I remember that they are really just The Whale in disguise and they used to play at a mall.

I'll be rotating my 2 Whalers shirts during this series.

Bart...wizard with Chara and the shot off the ankle, looks to be back now. He's been a liability at numerous points in the season already. These kid's wheels are just too much for him to keep up.

I'm good with review of game winning scoring but throw away all the bullshit ticky tack stuff like 2" offsides.

Replay can be maddening when abused. Someone on a newspaper thread suggested that all replays be reviewed at normal speed; get rid of slo mo. I like that idea, the obvious stuff will get flagged while the micro managed stuff will be inconclusive. That goes for all the sports.

In this particular case with St. Louis, it was obvious at any speed.

It has to suck for the refs to hear the reaction to the replay but not be able to change their decision. You would figure at least one would cave and lie about what they saw.

Bruins looking thick, solid, tight. Rask is a goddamn maniac. No Tim Thomas though.

Have a feeling the Blues/Sharts will go 7. B's gonna eat them alive.

I thought they were going to switch to Halak after game 1 against the Leafs.
Rask looked lost.

Don't write off the Sharks just yet, with Marleau gone and Thornton in a greatly reduced role they aren't hopeless playoff underachievers anymore
