Gotta love the Marchand.  Even Bigshow loves Marchand by now, no way he couldn't.

I despise him even more now and my anger for him will increase exponentially each day from here on out.

:)

Detroit was outplayed and outclassed this series for pretty much every game but game 1.  Rask played great and if he keeps it up Boston will be very difficult to beat.  However, I do think they have there hands full when they meet the Habs, but I almost hate them as much as the Bruins (almost), so I am fairly impartial to who wins that series when they meet up.

Habs are quick and small, and annoying, but I don't know if they have the depth.  Subban is a prize and a curse in that he doesn't know what position he plays so it's really hard to cover him.  If the bruins have a strategy for him, and if they can avoid getting sucked into crappy penalties with gallagher (refs let a lot more stuff go in the post season), they should be able to put someone out to match or beat every player on the habs team.  If I had to guess a real weakness?  I don't think they have the gas in the tank to go 7 games against a team that outweighs and outmuscles them 2-1.  They need to beef up their lines a bit to be a top contender.  Still, they have some skill and may win the series you never know. It will be AWESOME to watch.

The wings just weren't a solid unit this year, it looked like two teams out there playing, young and old.  Plus they're playing in a WAY slower conference now, so there was that adjustment.  Not really a fair gauge of how they may advance.

Ooops, I forgot that san jose tanks every year in the playoffs.  I might be in trouble. 


Whoosh, that's almost Leaf-esque in just how big of a clusterpuck they've become.  Weren't they 3-0 in their series?  And possibly losing in the first round?

I can take solace in knowing that even IF (It is still an if at this point, likely yes, but still only an if) we become only the fourth team in NHL history to lose a series after being up 3-0 we are in good company.

Maple Leafs came back to beat the Red Wings in 1942
Islanders came back to beat the Penguins in 1975

and more recently.....

the Flyers came back from being down 3-0 to beat someone back in 2010.... Can anyone remember who was up 3 games to none in that series? I forget..... Hmmmm..... Can I get some help here?

Tony's rant on Facebook was pretty epic.

To be fair I was poking the bees nest a bit in the background.  :)
