I hope the Bruins find some intestinal fortitude and find a way to win tonight’s game so they don’t go down as a bunch of chokers. Only two other teams have lost a series after going up 3-0 so this would go down as being a epic failure/choke job.
In three straight games, the Bruins have blown tires in their attempts to advance to the Eastern Conference finals. Tonight, they are down to their last spare.
With one more loss to the Flyers, the Bruins not only will have their season come to a close, they will also enter the NHL record book as only the third team to gag up a 3-0 lead and lose a playoff series. It is company they have no desire to join.

I must admit that I am very happy tonight. I would love to see the Boston Bruins resign Miroslav Satan to a contract extension because he has been clutch in this series (2g-3a-5pts) in 6 games.
Next to the UND Fighting Sioux the Boston Bruins are my favorite hockey team and it's has been 18 long years since the Bruins last beat the Buffalo Sabres in the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Last time the Bruins beat the Sabres Dale Hawerchuk and Pat LaFontaine were leading the Sabres in points. Rob Ray was their top goon and Daren Puppa was the Sabres top goal tender. For the non-math majors like me that was the 1991-1992 season.
The Boston Bruins now await their opponent for the next round, I hate to say this but it all depends on the hated Habs and if they can beat the Capitals in game 7. If Canadians can beat the Washington Capitals (I don’t think it will happen) the Bruins will play Daniel “the Hack” Carcillo and the Philadelphia Flyers. If the Captials win the Boston Bruins will play the Pittsburgh Penguins. I like the Bruins chances against the Flyers more than I do against the Penguins.
