See this Bruins? You'll never see it again. Not the way you're playing. Not any time soon. (dailyradar.com)

Seriously, how did that happen? The Bruins go up 3-0 and lose the next four? They injure the Flyers’ starting goalie and force in a guy that hadn’t played in months and they still screw it up? Forget the injuries the Bruins had, you don’t lose after being up 3-0 and be taken seriously. The Bruins need much better offense and much better goaltending. This little offense is sure to destroy revenues and severely deplete season ticket sales. Goodbye, TD Garden sellouts. At least there’s still the Celtics, for the time being.

This round was not kind to the experts; only the Blackhawks came through for (all but one of) us. Even in game length, only KC got the extra point from the Bruins series. Erikk, last round’s leader, is now tied for fourth after being let down by Vancouver. KC is now leading, but only by one. Myself and Mike are still right behind him by one point. With all the crazy upsets and series progress going on, anything could happen between now and Cup time, especially since Teddy is only three points out.
