Well, the B's got it done at home and now have two games to close it out and move on to their first SC Finals in 21 years. Should be a great game 6.

Thomas was better.

Vancouver won a lame ass goal.

It reminded me of the goal Patrick Kane scored in the SCF last year.

Reminded me of when BU won over Miami when the goaltender never saw the puck lob over him

That was awesome, one of the craziest finishes in any sport ever.

BTW, I agree that Boston gets it done tonight. Thomas, after looking shaky at times in this series, has it going on and I don't see him losing it now.

I don't think Roloson will be as solid as he was the first two series. He's undefeated in elimination games, but he's running out of gas.

Rafalski has retired from the Red Wings. Pretty big loss, but I'm sure they will just reload.


Not that it belongs here, but it doesn't need its own thread.

Wednesday, June 1
Stanley Cup finals Game 1: Boston or Tampa Bay at Vancouver, 8 p.m. ET (NBC)

Saturday, June 4
Stanley Cup finals Game 2: Boston or Tampa Bay at Vancouver, 8 p.m. ET (NBC)

Monday, June 6
Stanley Cup finals Game 3: Vancouver at Boston or Tampa Bay, 8 p.m. ET (Versus)

Wednesday, June 8
Stanley Cup finals Game 4: Vancouver at Boston or Tampa Bay, 8 p.m. ET (Versus)

Friday, June 10
Stanley Cup finals Game 5 (if necessary): Boston or Tampa Bay at Vancouver, 8 p.m. ET (NBC)

Last year's finals had June 11 as a Game 7 end date; in 2009, it was June 12; in 2008, it was June 9.
Damn, this is going to be a long SCF

The jury in the Casey Anthony trial is from the Tampa area, the hotel must not have VS. It was a big topic the past 2 days the jury wants to see game 7. Brighthouse made arrangements for it to be shown on a 65" tv for where the jury is staying. Judge Perry seems pretty cool.
