Going to be an awesome game 4. I think it sets some ratings records tonight.

Should be a great game tonight.

Boston's lines:

Lucic-Krejci-Peverley
Recchi-Bergeron-Marchand
Ryder-Kelly-Seguin
Paille-Campbell-Thornton

I expect these to be the lines:

Lucic-Krejci-Ryder
Recchi-Bergeron-Marchand
Kelly-Peverley-Seguin
Paille-Campbell-Thornton

Switch peverley and ryder and those are the lines tonight. Ryder asked to play with Seguin

Hmmmm. Those two seem to have chemistry when they play together.

That's what Ryder was saying. I think they'll come out and push vancouver around again, especially with Thornton in the line up. They have the most success when they can slow the game down and put bodies on the vancouve forwards

Here we go.....

Good first period, still tons of hitting.

Looks like we're on our way to another rout. 3-0 Bruins.

A 7uongo meltdown is commencing....

Luongo might be starting to melt down. 11 goals in the last 5 periods. Bruins physical play is making the difference.

Anyone think they sit Bobby Lou for the 3rd?

Peace out Luongo

Nice turtle by Erhoff.

Fuck Burrows

+1. Thomas gave him a good chop to the leg. Vancouver is getting beat up, doesn't look like they can handle being bullied

Peverley really stepped up with Horton out.

I know 7uongo usually has a meltdown every year in the playoffs but 2 in 1 year, nothing gets better than that lol.

Listen to the CBC announcers on this.

after 4 games Boston has outscored Vancouver 14-5. Has there ever been a team that won the cup but was outscored. Vancouver can win the next two games by a goal each and still be outscored by 7 goals.

Can someone send Rock back on vacation. Instantaneously ruins a thread when he shows up.

Been able to consistently hit on these games, but game 5's got me stumped right now. Bruins looked like a different team once they got back to Boston but can they take their show on the road? Tough to bet against em right now...

I like Horton but that incident may have been the best thing to happen to the B's. Seems to have lit a fire.

A lot of people complaining about the chippy and dirty play in this series, but honestly I love it. IMO it's great to watch two teams who have come to absolutely HATE one another fight it out for the Cup. Makes for some good tv. I've come to like the Bruins team tho they are seemingly a bunch of big dumb jocks. Somethng about their style intrigues me.

This is quickly becoming a huge rivalry that may last well beyond this series. If only these two teams saw each other more times during the season this rivalry could be up there w some of the best.

Not surprised to see the cry baby loser rock thread shitting.

I totally agree. I also really liked bobby orr coming out waving Hortons number on a giant flag, that was a sweet moment. The bruins have been much more physical the last two games and I think if they do the same thing in Vancouver they'll get another win. I wouldn't be surprised if they sat Loungo for game 5, he's been terrible in Boston.

Also, the bruins maybe gooning it up a bit, but vancouver acts like a bunch of soccer sissies. Going down at the slightest bit of contact. The sedins constantly cover their face as if they took a stick to the mouth and Crosby Show posted a video earlier of a Sedin taking a dive from a small push during a scrum. They're a bunch of instigators, but when the gloves come off they turtle (i.e. Erhoff and Burrows).

If boston plays like this the rest of the series i think they'll take it in 6. I think they only way vancouver gets back in this series is to bench luongo. Bruins D has done an awesome job of shutting down the twins and i doubt that'll stop any time soon.

I know, tourettes comes back from banning only to continue same shit.

Vigneault complains to the league about Thomas' style

"We've talked to the NHL about him initiating contact, like he did on Hank, and they're aware of it. Hopefully they're going to handle it."

I think this picture goes well with this statement.
