Go Canes, but theyve got a heckuva talented team in fornt of them, I remember Axelsson being good. And Tim Thomas isn't shabby

[davcbow]

In game 1 we lost 4-1, we just never got it togeather.... Now tonight we played game 2 and we shut out Boston in Boston 3-0 giving Cam Ward his 4th playoff shut out in his career... We really look like its all coming togeather for us..... :cool:

[G-Force for MVP]

that was a huge win they needed to split the series now they go back home

[teej]

Yeah that was the first hockey game I've watched wire-to-wire, helluva game by Cam Ward, and what was up with the "no-goal" bs...is the NHL rigged like the NBA???

[davcbow]

I dont know they had to confer with the office in toronto before they made the call... I told my girl friend before the final call that they will call it a no goal in order to keep the suspence level at a higher level for ratings.... :cool:

How about Jussi Jokinen with the overtime goal to win it 3-2!

And Eric Staal is a beast.

[davcbow]

We win 3-2 in OT giving us a 2-1 game lead in the series.... :cool:

Eric is a beast for sure. Cam Ward is pretty darn good too. As far as Jussi Jokinen not a bad pick up from the Lightning at all, he is always coming through.... :cool:

what a game!!! GO CANES!!!!

[davcbow]

Well gang tonight was game 4 and we win 4-1 with outstanding skating from Staal who scored 2 goals, Jokinen 1 goal, and Samsonov with 1 goal. We're up 3 games to 1.... next game Sunday 730pm in Boston... I mean Boston never had a chance... Go Canes!!!!!! :cool:

"Hey, hey, what do ya say!"

When we beat them the first game I told the wife that was going to rattle them...throughout the playoffs they've had it all their way. It's been even better than I'd hoped tho...they're totally losing it!

That Charra dude...I REALLY want someone to put him on his ass.

Sending 'em home after Sunday night will be enough tho. :cool:

[teej]

well I missed the game, but it doesn't look like much of a game :p

I can't wait to see the looks on the fans faces if we beat them at the garden. Plus if the Celtics lost too, which would suck, theyd be in fan hell.

[spectre]

It was a great game from our perspective!

We started out with a PP goal in the 1st...see the Boston players hang their head dejectedly. They decided to get nasty and started trying to pick a fight with very questionable hits. We're steadily banging on their goalie Thomas.

Second period they tie it up, and it stays that way into the 3rd period...where at one point we had like 9 shots to their NONE! We then took the lead on another PP goal and they just folded at the end.

One of my most enjoyable so far...I'd loved to have been in RBC last night!

[davcbow]

I forgot to add this last night but Cam Ward is a bear at goalie..... :biggrin:

[teej]

'Canes lost tonight, 4-0 :(

[davcbow]

Watching the game it looked like we wernt trying to win.... I hope they are just wanting to win it here at home..... :cool:

[spectre]

Dissapointing but kind of expected.

[davcbow]

We came out in game 6 stone cold just like we did in game 5 tonight losing 4-2. If we hope to win game 7 we are going to have to come out on fire and play with emotion for 60 minutes in Boston....:cool:

[spectre]

It ain't looking so good. :(
