Carolina Hurricanes vs Boston Bruins ECF Game 1. 5/9 8pm

[TheMaulClaw]

This should be a fantastic series. We have our work cut out for us against Boston. If the Canes can recapture their momentum and bring the same level of intensity that they brought in the first two rounds we've got a good chance. Its very important to flip home ice as everyone knows. Looks like were getting healthy. Ferland really needs to have some impact in this series. We really need him to be physical yet discipline.  Expect Staal to step up big.

Last game against Boston was a good game and a close loss when Faulk lost the puck behind his own net which led to the score. Lately Faulk has found his game however and I expect some retribution. Expect Svech to get tested physically maybe with some dirty plays. If he can overcome that and plays well...I think we will win.

Take Warning.

Oh I let them know that. Staal mentioned in his interview he thinks the game is on Thursday.

Let's go CANES!!!! 

 

Also McAvoy will probably be suspended game 1 for a hit from last series with cbj

Was able to listen to a little bit of NHL radio, the consensus sounds like 1 game. 

I haven’t seen the hit yet. Need to look it up. 

Just looked it up, honestly chara should be the one taking the suspension. He hooked him, then followed through with the butt of his stick after McAvoy left his feet. 

There was a lot of talk about that being a “Hockey Hit” on the radio. I call BS. He left his feet.

We are going to have to play fast against these guys.

This is a ugly dirty team...I hate we are playing them as they seem classless to me.  Much rather play the CBJ.  But we have upset both teams so far, hopefully we can keep the momentum going this round and keep injuries to a minimum.

It's official boys and girls, Thursday 8pm. 

Front runners and jerks welcome to attend!

I hope the players have tasted this success and are now addicted to it.

Hopefully we can find a way to get something past Rask and keep scoring. He's been on fire for the playoffs.

Boston and Washington are the two most physical teams I've seen in the playoffs.  I think this series will be similar to round 1, just without Ovechkin.  I think we certainly can win it, but it will be a tough series.
