Picks made:

Van in 7
Tampa in 6

Haven't chosen Tampa yet and got burned twice, so I figure they will do it again.

Picking against Tampa has been bad for my health so far. I'd be fine with Boston winning though. I'd rather Vancouver play them than Tampa.

Vancouver was my pre-playoff pick. Trust me, Boston and TB were even teams statistically... Van and Bos... no comparison.

Oh there is, you still have to get past this guy.

And while that has been difficult, it seems like 4 goals in two games so far has done the trick. Thomas is great, but he needs some help from his team.

He has been getting just as much help as Luongo. A game that had one goal scored in the last 18 seconds and an overtime game does not sound look two teams that do not even compare ;)

Someone's in denial. I'll give the Bruins the win tonight or Wed, so the Canucks can win the cup at home on Friday.

Parade this weekend!

No denial, just looking at stats, The Bruins have had more shots and scoring chances in both games so far, they have both been back and forth nail biting one goal games. Someone is over confident.

And don't even get me started on how the only reason the Canucks won game 2 is because of a 3 point game from a player who should have been suspended...

I hope that dis. hearing doesn't lead to anything. Not a late hit, you can hit after someone gets rid of the puck, and it's a solid hit to the chest I THINK, haven't seen it in slowmo or anything from a good angle. If Horton was looking down everyone would just say, keep your head up, but because he's not paying attention by looking elsewhere it's different?

Awesome check by Thomas, great two goals by Recchi, Recchi for MVP :D

The NHl considers a late hit anything past .5 seconds. Rome hit Horton almost a full second after he passed the puck, Rome didn't even start his check until after Horton had passed, he left his skates and his shoulder hit Horton's head from the blind side.

The suspension was well deserved.

That hit was brutal, I was afraid that injury was much worse than it actually was.

So, you got your win tonight. If pattern holds, Aaron Rome will score 3 points on Wed and we'll take it home Friday :P

Would hate to see how the nucks would be preforming if they were playing against a "comparable team" :P
