Yeah, the Bruins. You have to believe a highlander when saying there can be only one.

Good bye Colorado, time to break out the clubs.
Nice job to the Sharks

I'm exceptionally proud of this team. We've had some awfully hard times, and for the first time in 15 years we've registered two season of improvement. Last year we were lucky to be there. This year we have heads turning. This team is on the rise. A few things need to go right this summer. We need to hit a home run with this summers draft. We got screwed with the lottery for the second time in three years, but as it turns out the hockey gods gave us a 20 year old D man that if that draft were held today he'd go first or second. Hopefully the gods will reward us in the same manor this off season. I'm going to enjoy the 3rd and final rounds. This sport is the best.

Avalanche did look good. And fast. They'll go very deep next year. Frankly I'm surprised the Sharks took the series. Jones was solid enough.
I sort of wrote the Sharks off in the first round but they grind and get it done; old legs are getting tired. My money is on the Blues next round.

It's all set then: Calgary Nashville Tampa bay and Washington. Oh, wait...
It easily could have been all 4 wild card teams.

Hey, I cheered for the Caps last year! ... once the Blues were out... even though you guys took TJ Oshie from us.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) – Radio stations are playing it nonstop and it is stuck in St. Louis Blues fans’ heads but why did the team choose ‘Gloria’ as its postgame victory song?
Earlier this year, Laura Branigan’s song from the 1980s began playing in the locker room after the team’s wins.
According to a February article from NHL.com, Alexander Steen, Joel Edmundson, Robert Bortuzzo, Jaden Schwartz and Robby Fabbri were watching the Eagles/Bears NFC Wild Card game in Philadelphia in January when a DJ played ‘Gloria’ during a commercial break.
“This one guy looked at the DJ and said 'keep playing Gloria!', so they kept playing it. Everyone would get up and start singing and dancing. We just sat back and watched it happen. Right there we decided we should play the song after our wins. We won the next game, we got a shutout, so we just kept on playing it,” Edmondson told stlouisblues.com.

I'm a bit nervous about the chances against the Canes. The B's looked slow as molasses compared to them. If it wasn't for the 2 power play goals I don't think we'd have won that game. I hope I'm wrong and we step up tomorrow.
These go to eleven.

Wow! Nothing like being waaaaaay off in my original predictions...

My B's have been awesome this year, but I just don't think they can take Tampa Bay. B's will lose in the Eastern finals.
Your Bruins are still in it! I'm hoping for a Blues-Bruins Stanley Cup final.

Yeah. Slow in the 2nd but not in the 3rd. Plus Charlie is back in the lineup tomorrow.

Blues really sloppy play tonight. Parayko looked bad on that last goal.

So I'm all in on VGK, but it's not bad to have the bruins as a fall back team.

I had the game on, but didn't really get to pay attention to it. Hoping the 'canes can perform better in Raleigh on Tuesday!
