Leafs re-sign James Reimer to a three year contract. Hopefully this year wasn't a fluke.

Los9090
Love it. They've screwed up with goalies in the past namely Rask and keeping Pogge. Hopefully the team doesn't stop playing strong defense in front like the other goalies. Gustavsson stays for a year, but I expect Rynnas will be up this year based on Jonas' health issues. Rynnas WAS a higher rated prospect in the AHL, so it'd be nice to have to great goalies for a change. Complete momentum swing this series. Very physical, outside of one hit it's been fun to watch.

And who could forget Toskala?

He was good in SJ...but split time. So at the time, it was good. Anything can happen in a game 7, and since every game in Vancouver has been a 1 goal game, the Canucks definitely don't want to go there.

I think we will go to game 7 with the Bruins. Unless were willing to play a very simple fact paced game, I dont see us being able to win at TD Garden.

Well one game left to decide this series. It has been one hell of a series. We've had biting, taunting with fingers in faces, hits leading to injuries, tons of scrums, and interesting events for both goaltenders.

As a Boston fan I have lost respect for some Canucks players and gained respect for others. But overall I've enjoyed this series a lot.

Most penalized Final...ever. Raymond out 3-4 months, but also read it was 4-6 months, with a fractured vertebra.

Looked like it happened too fast, but I still feel Boychuk could have backed off on it.

I think he could've backed off as well. But due to the series it has been and that it was an elimination game I felt that he decided to "finish" the hit.

It was an accident. He got all twisted around, and unfortunately got backed in. The minor penalty was enough.

Thisis a good article about it. The writer is one of the best, well-respected refs in the game, Kerry Fraser. Retired last year after 37 years. He gives some good insight into it as a ref and what the office should and did do.

Thomas with a 2 goal lead...seems insurmountable.

EDIT: Make it 3. Hmm, I remember saying something like "If Boston wins game 6, they win the series."

Sucks as a Canadian that they choked but oh well. No problem with Boston...more Canadians on them:P

Kesler has been their best player. But I agree with everything you said. It's over.

Their the biggest 2 faced team I've seen in the playoffs in a long time. To good at home, and play like the worst team in the NHL away. Until tonight. Did it in Round 1 too. BUt played great in Round 2 and 3. I don't get them. I just yelled out to a friend that this is like the Heat. Choking at home, their stars don't show up, etc:lol:

All the Bruins need to do is keep their emotions in check and Chara et al are lifting it up tonight. And with the best defense and goaltending in the league, thez probably aren't going to let that happen to them.

I'm glad Winnipeg is back also, but i don't think Bettman is, its just that Winnipeg was the only option for the league to take,and hopefully that situation happens again so my Nordiques can come back:)

Best of luck to you, I would love to see them back here as well. Sadly I was only 4 and 6 years old when both franchises left initially.

And hey, in a year or two Phoenix should be out as well. ^__^

The rioting has started.
