Bruins win 4-3 in OT and will play the Flyers in Round 2.

Don't ever remember so many 3rd Period Power Plays, especially late in the period...

oh well the Pens had a great season and tried as hard as they could with a depleted offense but were beat by a better Lightning team. Tampa surprised me with their strong defensive play and their ability to clear Pens players out of the crease. hopefully they are able to keep it going and beat the Capitals.

there will be a lot of changes to the Pens offense over the Summer including the departures of Max Talbot and Alex Kovalev. they also need to either buy out Matt Niskanen or trade him and his $1.5 million contract away.

today's game...

9 PM EDT TV: CBC (HD), VERSUS (HD), RDS (HD)

I've read three or four columns picking the Preds to win this series, but I just don't see anyway that happens...

I qualify as a Preds homer, but I agree with you. I think it will go 6 or 7, but the Canucks have too much offense for us to keep them at bay.

But, a guy can dream! :lol:

[sabresfreak]

Lets go Preds!!! I don't hate the Canucks except for Raffi Torres.

 

[robert67]

Can't believe the Preds are still in the game at the start of the 3rd period as poorly as they have played!

Get some shots on goal! ::facepalm::

I took the UNDER tonite for just that reason. To be nice, I think the PC term is "offensively challenged". :lol:

 

[pghbuccos]

both goalies looked good tonight. great game to watch but I wish Nashville would have won.

oh yeah and Shea Weber's beard is awesome.

 

[jarcar]

Glad the Nucks won, I expected the game not to be the greatest as it is the first game of the series. The next game will be better for both teams. I hope they get their hate on soon.

I was thinking the same thing about Weber's beard... that is what you call a beard!

anyone got a pic of this beard?

 

[pghbuccos]

I can;t find a pic of him from last night's game despite there being 62 pics from the game on NHL.com ::facepalm::

you can see it in the game highlights...

While it is very impressive, I'm pretty sure he started before the playoffs started because he already had a full-grown beard in Game 1 of the first round.

In other news, hoping the Lightning and the Sharks can win today
