I should play the lottery as I called this from a mile away; some ham and egger will stone the Bruins and steal the series for Washington.
Boston's top four forwards have a grand total of zero points in this series.
As in a giant goosegg.
They are going down in flames I'm afraid to some nobody of a goalie, it happens all the time in hockey; you get a hot goalie and steal a series............he looked terrible the other night, let in two soft goals, tonight he stands on his head and steals the game, outshot 45-26.
If they lose Saturday, it's over.

It's only 2-2. Hopefully the Bruins find their offense soon.

I think the Bruins still win the series. It's a good story though with Holtby. When you see these guys playing in the AHL like the Hanson brothers in "Slapshot" it's nice to see them getting a few minutes on the big stage. BTW: the movie "Slapshot" with Paul Newman is maybe the funniest sports movie of all time. Anyone who is a hockey fan should watch that one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJkHm2WtSsk

Short of two miracles in games 6 and 7, the Boston Bruins, #2 in the league in scoring this year, will go down in flames to the Washington Capitals.
And Braden Holtby.
Who's only playing because BOTH Capitals goalies are hurt.
Shoot high to the glove side to beat this guy, not right into his chest.
The Capitals defense is circling the wagons, blocking close to 100 shots so far, rallying around this boob.
Too bad, that's the way the cookie crumbles, nothing to do now until September sportswise around here...............................

Ha, lets not get to carried away^&grin I might wear something blue by coincidence but thats the extent of my showed support. I'll root for them to get there and win it all as long as Boston isn't playing them but don't expect to much out of me. After all the Blues are in the Central and I can't be seen giving to much support:wink2:

I assume it doesn't make you feel any better, but the Hershey Bears have lost 9 in a row and are losing big time tonight because some of their players including Holtby were called up by the Caps.
George, don't give up hope quite yet. There are two certainties in Washington DC. One is that the politicians are all crooked, and the other is that the Caps always find a way to lose in the playoffs.:wink2: -- Al

Looks like the Broadway Blues will soon be joining the Red Wings on the sidelines.

Thanks Al and you are right, the Caps have made a habit of blowing playoff series, they of the zero Stanley Cup finals appearances.
I go by what my eyes tell me and the Caps are getting all the breaks; since Hunter, the ultimate goon, whined and complained to the refs after game 3, they've been getting all the breaks, who calls a ticky tack penalty in a playoff game like they did yesterday with 3 minutes left in the game, which led to the game winning goal.
Thomas was God awful yesterday too, 3 of those 4 goals were on him.
The first two Bruins lines are doing nothing, Seguin looks like a ball in tall grass, ie, lost.
Speaking of losing, nice game by the Sox yesterday; they blew a 7 run lead and lost 15-9.
Bobby V has lost this team already, he might get fired by Memorial day at this rate.
I picked them for fourth in the division, they could end up in last place...........

That was a great game yesterday with the two goalies matching save for save; again just goes to show you that in hockey, you can ride a hot goalie to an upset over a seven game series.
Don't I know it.
Imagine the thought of Boston, New York, Detroit and Chicago all out after the first round, 4 of the orginial 6 gone in the blink of an eye.
I'm sure Betman is thrilled at the thought of a possible Coyotes/Panthers Stanley Cup final or some other such match up..........:rolleyes2:
Hi George. Just for the record, bad as the Caps are in the playoffs, they actually DID make the Stanley Cup finals in 1998, where they were promptly swept 4 games to none by the Detroit Red Wings. The Caps claim to fame.:tongue: -- Al
