(Video) Montreal Meltdown - Bruins score 4 goals in 8 minutes
I thought it was over when the Montreal Canadiens pushed the lead to 3-1. Then a funny thing happened. The Bruins put it on the table and pushed back and scored four goals in eight minutes. The problem with the Bruins is they started responding to the Habs instead of just playing hockey.
0:56 BOS Dougie Hamilton (2) Snap shot - ASST: Brad Marchand (3), Patrice Bergeron (6) 3 - 2 MTL
14:17 BOS Patrice Bergeron (2) Wrist shot - ASST: Brad Marchand (4) 3 - 3 Tie

18:54 BOS EN - Milan Lucic (4) Wrist shot - ASST: David Krejci (3), Kevan Miller (2) 5 - 3 BOS

Boston Bruins: Johnny Boychuk Celly (GIF)
This is a sweet Celly by Boston Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk... Guns up... No wait, that's Texas Tech.
(NHL Video) Detroit-Boston Mic'd Up
This should get you into the mood for the second round. It was funny watching Zedno Chara tell Brendan Smith you had your chance.

(Video) Bruins take a 3-1 series lead on Red Wings
I think at times it's better to be lucky than good. Boston Bruins forward Jarome Iginla gets his first goal of the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Bruins head back to Boston with a 3-1 series lead. I thought that the Red Wings came out with a lot of speed, but the B's took over the game in the second period and Tuuka Rask played very well.

Bruins vs. Red Wings game preempted by Meaningless Spring Football game
This isn't the first time this has happened, either. Not everyone is a fan of the Thundering Herd. In what world is a meaningless spring football game worthy of preempting the Boston Bruins and the Detroit Red Wings? Seriously. This is the Stanley Cup Playoffs which actually means something. The Bison playing with/against themselves is not important to NHL Hockey Fans. I do wish that KVLY had two channels like ABC does (WDAZ and WDAY).

(Video) Almost Fight - Brendan Smith versus Zdeno Chara.
To quote Doc Emerick, "There are many in the NHL watching this and if I were Smith, I would hope that the linesmen arrive." This would have been the mismatch of the century.

Lucic will not be suspended
According to Joe Haggerty of CSNNE.COM, Milan Lucic will not be suspended. Lucic was fined $5,000.00 for his spear.
Joe Haggerty ( @HackswithHaggs) tweeted at 12:12pm - 19 Apr 14: Milan Lucic: "I don't know what I was thinking. I pride myself on playing within the rules, and that's obviously something I can't be doing"
--------
Joe Haggerty ( @HackswithHaggs) tweeted at 12:09pm - 19 Apr 14: Milan lucic said there's no hearing on his spear of Danny DeKeyser, but he does have to call the league office about it.
Where’s the feigned outrage for Corey Perry cup check on Jamie Benn?
By now, you’ve probably seen the chop to the groin region of Detroit
Red Wings defenseman Danny DeKeyser by Boston Bruins forward Milan Lucic … Almost
on cue, the Lucic haters have demanded a lengthy suspension of the Bruins forward.
Ah, but there’s a catch, while everyone was drawing and
quartering El Diablo Milan Lucic, the Ducks forward Corey Perry was also checking Jamie Benn’s
cup region as well. Where was the feigned outrage for that stick incident? Both plays are equally
objectionable, and if you suspend one player, you must suspend the other one, right?
Here's a prediction, neither player will receive any games off. However, they will be given a stern warning and put on double secret probation. Frankly, that's playoff hockey.

Boston Bruins: Torey Krug no goal (Video)
Blown call by the officials. Boston Bruins defenseman Torey Krug was robbed of a legit goal. Zdeno Chara made no contact with Jimmy Howard.

Tale of two GIFS Patrice Bergeron's goal
Check this out. We have both sides of Dougie Hamilton shot and the redirect goal by Patrice Bergeron. It was the game tying goal for the Boston Bruins. The Bruins would lose the game in a shootout.

Jarome Iginla Knuckle Puck - GIF
Boston Bruins forward Jarome Iginla scores a knuckle puck goal against Minnesota Wild goalie That was goal 553 of Iggy's career. Darcy Kuemper had no chance on that goal.
Wild and Bruins Battle for First Time in Two Years
Tonight the Minnesota Wild will face the East's best Boston Bruins at the TD Garden in Boston. The match-up will be the first time the two teams have met since February of 2012 because of last season's half season lockout.
The B's come into tonight's tilt as the hottest team in the NHL with an eight game win streak. During that streak, the Bruins have scored 32 goals, plus one extra added because of a shootout victory, which averages out to four goals a game. Teams scoring like that don't lose that often.
Tonight also is the first game that Jarome Iginla would play against his former division rival Minnesota since being traded to the Eastern Conference last season. Iginla, a known Wild killer, has scored more goals against the Wild than any other player in the NHL since the Wild would come into the league in 2000. In His last five games, Iginla has five points with four of those being goals. He also leads the Bruins in goals with 23 and looks to pad his totals tonight against a team where he has had great success against.
As for Minnesota, they find themselves in a little bit of a late season funk, and wins haven't been that easy to come by for the Wild. Since the beginning of March, the Wild are 2-1-3, which isn't terrible, but could have been a lot better if they could hang on to some leads. Having leads in the games against Edmonton and Dallas, they would sit back and watch their wins slide away from them, missing out on key points this late in the season.
Forwards Jason Pominville and Zach Parise, need to keep the offense going and lead this team to victory once again. Pominville, who also has five points in his last five games, and scored the only goal in the Wild's last game against Columbus, seems to be one of the only consistent things offensively as of late. The same can be said for Parise as well.
Minnesota goalie Darcy Kuemper has played virtually lights out hockey since the Olympic break ended, aside from the two speed bumps in Dallas and at home against Edmonton. In his last five games, Kuemper has posted an outstanding .925 save percentage and a goals against of 2.20, solid numbers for any goalie in any league.
People are wondering why Minnesota can't seem to finish games as of late then, and I say it's simple. They aren't playing that puck control hockey they were playing when they were having success. I know this is stating the obvious here, but chances are you control the play with the puck, you control the outcome of the game. Not only that, but Minnesota can't seem to catch a bounce as of late either. A good example of this is the two posts they hit Saturday night against Columbus.
Tonight is West vs. East and we will see if the West hast their continued dominance against the East, or if the hot play of the Bruins can shut down a Minnesota Wild team who can't seem to find a way to finish games as of late. One thing on Minnesota's side tonight is that Boston has not beat Minnesota since 2009. Will this slump end and the Bruins stay hot, or will the Wild finally find a way to finish a game off?

Crazy OT Thought for the NHL...and maybe other leagues (RW77)
Overtime Power Play Face Off (Photo credit: clydeorama) |
The growing opinion is that the shootouts are not popular among players and coaches because it takes away the team aspect of winning among other things. Aside from the commentator having a ridiculous reason (airports close so their private jets cannot take off if the game ends, say, 10 minutes later than it would normally. Ok, nothing prohibits the aircraft from taking off first thing in the morning?), they brought up a few ideas such as 3 on 3s or lengthening OT to 8 or 10 minutes.
I got a crazy idea. And yeah, it's crazy. Instead of doing a shootout, why not solve the game outside of OT via the powerplay? If OT ends and it is still a tie, they resurface the ice and put two minutes up on the clock. The home team starts off with a 4 on 3 powerplay for 2 minutes. If the home team scores, the visiting team gets a 4 on 3 powerplay to tie it up. If they don't score, game over. If they do, they reset and move to 5 on 3 powerplay for 2 minutes. I should say: Shorthanded goals end the game immediately (sort of sudden death). It's sortof a restating of the college football OT rules.
My original idea, which is you play 10 minute OT periods until someone scores, seems to no longer be ok, so what about this crazy idea?
Can you come up with a better idea?
