Addition by subtraction?He was a good defenceman before he got traded from Calgary as well

Boston looks burnt out to me.

Really???

One call doesnt make a series.

[Mr.Coffee]

Boston is going to lose to the Rangers.

Dominated the series?

They were outplayed the last two games, outplayed the OT game they won, whipped the Leafs the 1st game and the others were about even.

At best they were about even but likely outplayed for the most part this series.

Their offense is brutal and the defense looks pretty weak as well. I think they should be a legit underdog in every series going forward unless the Caps pull a miracle and comeback tonight.

Hope they spare you the ban hammer Karl. That's a tough loss to watch.

[troutman]

BOS just saved the coach.

[OILFAN #81]

That was an absolutely insane comeback. First time in NHL history, a home team has won a game 7 after being down 3 goals in the 3rd period.

What a chokejob by the Leafs, but at least I'll have someone to root for besides the Penguins for the rest of the playoffs - whoever plays the Bruins.

Who smurfed in your smurfberry juice? hehehehhee

Bruins should be the prototype team for Feaster to build. We are only missing 18 pieces.

[JBR]

At least the Jays are series favourites.

Wait, what?

[Itse]

San Jose - Los Angeles
Detroit - Chicago
Boston - New York

The next round is going to be good.

Oh, and Pittsburgh - Ottawa.

**** **** ****, POS Bruins.

He plays 20+ minutes a night and is better than any other guy on the team not sure how that is addition by subtraction. I know crapping on Phaneuf and making up how bad he is is a past time for some on CP but getting rid of Phaneuf makes the Leafs a much worse team.

In this case it basically did. Sure the Leafs are to blame for letting up, but that was incredibly blatant, it changed the entire complexion of the game.

As for the missed no goal in 2004, that was an extremely close call, no benefit of replay etc. etc.

[flamesfever]

Poor Toronto...so close to moving on. If they'd only continued playing, the way they did for most of the game, in the last 10 minutes.
