I thought they were about out, but they came into that OT determined. Game 7 will go Boston's way as well. Not going out in the first round like that against the caps.

Christ and every hit against those guys is exaggerated greatly.

I feel awesome about Game 7 @ home, especially after that OT goal. That Holtby kid has been a WALL and a goal beating him square and not a deflection or lucky rebound goal should be at least a little extra incentive for us to come out feeling optimistic about our chances of coming out of this thing.

Man I didn't want to go into the third tied, I was really pissed thinking we were gonna go in down 1, but that was huge.

Lucic layed the hit on alzner. Ference slap shot gives a juicy rebound, boychuck sends one in and seguin fights to make sure it counts. Woo!

Same. We need Thomas to be a rock. I loved that shift from rolston and Pouliot

Oh man I can't stand it.

What a total disappointment. I can't believe it.

I'm mainly just bummed that we don't get to see Hockey into may and June. Maybe next year.

I'm not gonna blast anyone, they ran into a very tough first round opponent and broke a record of 1 goal games. 7 in a row ffs. This series was so damn close.

We'll see what happens, see if horton can come back, seguin is gonna be ridiculous next year you can feel the stamkos progression with him. Would like to see an addition to the defense, but seidenberg has been **** incredible. Goalie situation will be interesting. I love timmy, but it's tuuka's time, it just is, it just has to be.

Last but not least, finally do something about the Powerplay.

Anyway, this ones gonna run in my head for a few. The bergy miss, the peverly miss in the 3rd after ference found him. The 2 on 1. Then of course, the 2 on 1 against us....gah...

100% on powerplay and Tuukka Time. He'll definitely be a good goalie. This year he just got screwed because of the injury and when he did play the offense wasn't there. Better powerplay and they could have possible won this series.

I think it would have been a different series if Horton and Ferrence could play, as well as Bergeron being healthier though. Worried about Horton and his injuries though because it's not the first time.

I'm not too bummed because I'm not as invested in hockey as I am in other sports (Cs > Pats > Bs > Sox).

Still stunned about this one. I mean we scored the 2nd most goals in the regular season and with all the experience we had from the past couple years in the playoffs, I didn't think Holtby was going to hold up. Hats off to him because he won this series for them; that and the Caps shot blocking was insane. Amazing series to watch though. The goaltending issue is going to be interesting for next season; I hope Timmy stays until he retires but it's not likely. Tuukka time is approaching and I think he can be a top 5 goaltender in the league, especially with that defense in front of him. Hope Horton can come back he was so clutch for us last year in the playoffs. Definitely need to improve the third line on D, Zanon looked like a mess against the Caps.
