EC Playoffs Round 1: Boston Bruins vs Detroit Red Wings (Bruins win 4-1).

[puckluck2]

What a bullet by Krug.

And Chara looks like he's playing in game 7 of the finals. He looks tired already. Not sure how he's going to hold up if the Bruins go far.

[Machiavelli]

Would be great if Lucic and Iginla could stop turning the puck over.

[Flash Walken]

Jeez, gotta get those ones out.

I wonder if Iggy pulls a Hossa next year and hopes the third team is the charm.

I'd like to see Iginla go team to team as a mercenary.

[Nufy]

Torn on this series...
I picked boston to win it all but have datsyuk and zetterberg in my cp pool.
Plus I love a good upset in the playoffs.

[puckluck2]

What a dive fest.

[bubbsy]

man boston is just brutal along the boards in their own zone so far.

Strange thing to say when the Bruins are leading the series 2-1.

[puckluck2]

Why wasn't Bertuzzi in before? healthy scratch? That's an awful decision if so. He should be screening the goalie on the pp all the time.

[Flash Walken]

Bertuzzi is still no effin' joke in front of the net.

[puckluck2]

Chara must be injured because he's a liability out there. Wings are skating circles around him.

[Flash Walken]

That give and go where Lucic crossed over worked once, but that's not going to happen again I don't think. Well scouted by the Wings

He had a pretty bad year, 59 games - 9 goals, 7 assists, -17.

Seems like there are a lot of Olympians that may not be 100%

Crosby, Getzlaf, Perry, Doughty, Benn (though he is playing well anyway) immediately come to mind

[direwolf]

Bruins were better in that period, but the Wings have still dominated for the most part. Iggy's line has been especially awful.

[Flash Walken]

I really like how Brendan Smith carrying the puck up pushes back the Bruins defensive structure.

I always thought he was just 'solid' in a two-way role, like a Leopold, but bigger and more competitive. He's really shown an ability to rush the puck and retain possession.

[JurassicTunga12]

Lucic ties the game! 2-2.

[Hockey_Ninja]

Lucic!

[Brannigans Law]

glad he's not a flame. What a bum.
