I can start my list of " What happened the last time the Bruins made it to round 3" references. :D

CBS had the NFL and MLB.
The Patriots were "led" by <gulp> immortal QB's Hugh Millen, Tommy Hodson, Scott Zolak and Jeff Carlson (combined 13 TD, 19 INT) :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Last time the B's made round 3 facts:

The Lightning (Boston's next playoff opponent) had yet to play a single NHL game

The Rockies and Marlins had also played no games

ABC's TGIF was the hottest thing on Friday nights

Nicklas Lidstrom was a rookie

Shaq was in college

What a game the Wings and Sharks have going, late in the 3rd.
Wings trailed 2-0 and 3-1 and have come back to take a 4-3 lead late and the typical Power Play coming up for the trailing team.

What a GUTSY performance for the Wings in the 3rd period.
Playing with Zetterberg ONLY on faceoffs, Franzen out since the midway point of the game and Datsuk hurting as well.

Jimmy Howard played GREAT, gave up 3 goals, but it could have been 6 or 7 without him playing as well.

Well it is a good thing, the longer these western conference series go, the more time Bergeron has to recover. Looking more and more like the eastern conference finals will start Saturday. 8 and 9 days rest for the Bruins/Lightning.

Why are they waiting till the other conference gets done ?
What would the West side have to do with it ?

Btw, expect at least the first half of the game in the next series to be rusty, 8 days while it';s great to heal, killed the Wings in the first game of this series.

Last year, I thought Jimmy Howard was the reason Detroit's playoff run stalled.

This year, he has played VERY well in the second round.

He's impressed me these last few games.

I HOPE the winner of this series has something left for the next round.
MANY times these two teams have meet and could not play anywhere close to the level whey need to in the next round due to killing one another thruout this series.

hmmmm....maybe you do need a first class goalie afterall......ask philadelphia......ask washington.....and soon you will be able to ask detroit.

Not how it sounded in your previous quote .... :rolleyes:

I told you he was playing very well earlier ...
