This too. I was excited because I thought they came out with some jump today, though admittedly I thought that for game 2 also. But then they quickly stop looking hungry.

I don't get the people defending Howard. Obviously it's not completely his fault we lost, but that first goal was brutal. 2nd was a bad line change if I recall, the Wings are taking bad penalties, can't score, etc. First goal was still brutal, and way too early in the game. Edit: but to say something more productive, I'd really like (for once) to see some line changes. I feel like we're wasting Legwand and our current set up isn't getting it done, need to stop banging our head against the wall trying the same thing here .

Wheelchairsuperhero wants less diving.

What in god's name is an sd?! I must know what he's calling Marchand.

From what I understand Tyson is out for a while. With Cooke's history this should be a lengthy suspension.

I like Jimmy. He's had a rough year but I think he's a good goalie. He does play the puck like crap though. I agree on the power play. Special teams are key here.

Not trying to sound snarky here but, have you been reading the posts? He isn't being singled out, at least that's not how I've been looking at it. I'm pretty sure everyone agrees the team played like crap. But giving Howard NONE of the blame is ridiculous. Edit: and I also don't think anyone expects us to win 16 consecutive, but I think hoping that we don't give games away (like I think we did in game 2) isn't unreasonable.

*That moment you realized you picked a fight with a serial killing tree.*

"Does this glove smell like chloroform to you?"

At work so I haven't been able to post for a bit, but this is about what I would've said. These are the Bruins, can't give them momentum. That goal let them dictate the pace. Like I said though I'm not saying it's the reason we lost, I'm just saying you can't definitively say one way or the other if it cost us the game. Who knows how we would've played had we scored first, or kept the board at 0's like game one. I do know our PP has to start doing something though.

I think you got it with fluid, that's how I always describe it. Or just plain smooth. Everything he does down to the skating is fluid. No one else looks like him out there.

"I can has cheezburger?"

While I agree we needed to score more goals, and definitely could've used the pp not being terrible, I don't think you can say one way or the other whether that cost us the game.Things could've been completely different had that play not happened. Momentum and playing from behind are big things.

On the bright side Datsyuk has looked really good.

Not impressed with Howard today (or the PP). He'll make amazing saves then turnaround and let in some poos***.

"Slams Krejci down." Lol, yes a face wash is now equivalent to a body slam, good one Pierre.

Okay power play, just don't kill our momentum please, Ty.

Woooooo

Pp needs to get going here, at this point it's been just deflating.

While I think Alfie embellished, I'm surprised (not surprised at all) that Pierre didn't talk about Chara selling it when he was taken down by a relative midget.

Oh and while that Krejci hit wasn't from behind and was shoulder to shoulder, I think it was blindside charging.

Seriously, little Tatar can 'haul down' that giant ******* of a hockey player? Bulls***. I really wish Smith had fought Chara, seemed like he was willing but that tree wouldn't even put his stick down.

Ready for the win now.

This "eastern conference Nashville" you speak of always seems to be beating your team. Regular season and now first playoff game. Just because the wings aren't cheap shotting goons doesn't mean they're not tough, it's called class, and they've been good at it for more than 2 decades.Edit: by the way did you know your team's captain was a goofy looking tree on skates?

He's pretty good.
