Goaltending - Boston
Defense - Boston
Offense - Tampa
Special Teams - Tampa
Choaching - Tampa
Home Ice - Boston

Winner - Boston

Is that coaching or choking that you give the edge to Tampa?

What's wrong with Bergenheim? I love the "undisclosed upper body injury". Whatever the hell it is, put some ice on it and get back out there.

Undisclosed upper body injury generally means concussion. If he wants to be speaking clearly in 20 years, Bergenheim best sit this one out.

Thank you for your spell check.

Not that it matters, but it is "lower body". Rumor is it is a groin strain, which is not a good one if you have to make a living moving and changing directions quickly on skates. Either upper or lower, he is not playing tonight.

My favorite "lower body" was the Nick Lidstrom injury of the 2009 playoffs. I'm in pain just thinking about it.

Wow, what a first period. Then again the whole series has been this good.

I am not a hockey fan but that was awesome

It certainly was..and I am no puckey fan nor did I see it.




But boy do I have to whizz.

It was a great game last night, and except for the second round in the East the hockey has been terrific throughout the playoffs. Unfortunately I think Tampa might have been a better match up against Vancouver. Don't see Boston getting more than one game..I hope I'm wrong and it's a long series.

Gotta agree with you on both accounts. Usually I'm against the B's (Wings fan) but now I have to root for them as an original six team. The hockey has been soooooooo much more exciting than the NBA for sure.

Not even a shot? I have 15-1 on the bruins.

Agree. Vancouver in 5.
