Some quick timeouts without calling an actual one.

Can we make our ECF picks yet? Pittsburgh in 5 against Boston

Might want to wait until they get by Montreal and like I said before, Boston can beat Pitts.

Goaltending goes to Boston
Defense goes to Boston
Offensive to Pitts
and I would say Gullian is the better coach.

Boston's offense has seemed to come around too... if Pitts goes 6 or 7 they are in tough. Boston is anything but a gimme. They are a good team and can defently beat Pitts.

Boston's not a gimme at all, but if they face Pittsburgh they would not have played as good an offensive and experienced team like the Pens so far this playoffs. Let's face it, the Bruins got lucky this series having played a severely short-handed Flyers team.

Plus, if Krejci's injury is serious, they are really screwed offensively. They have lost Stuart and Sturm as well.

If a Pitt-Boston series started tomorrow, my prediction woul dbe Penguins in 5 or 6.

Boston looks 100% unbeatable. Look out, the perfect time to get scorching hot. I think they might make the Finals.

I'll go on record right now as saying Boston in 6 the way they're playing. That's a stifling, boring, sapping system they have going - it's frustrating as hell and it works.

Boston didn't even deserve to win tonight, they're playing like Montreal.

If you compare the lines of Pittsburgh and Boston, they are a serious mismatch. Their top scorer was a healthy scratch in the playoffs last season for the Penguins.

I find it much, much, much tighter than Montreal's system. Far more scoring chances (it felt like).

While I agree with that, they are playing a very weak team offensively right now who are without their #2 and #3 forwards.

hawks with the early 1-0 lead

It's called a road game. Get the lead and take the crowd out. They have a goaltender that is 100% reliable and can steal games, Boston did what they needed to do. In Boston they were dominate, in Philly they were a solid road team.

Boston is playing like the team that finished 1st overall in The East last year. If Boston gets to heal up and Rask gets a breath, Pitts is in trouble. Chara is not Sutton or Gill either... if Crosby thinks he has his hands full with Gill, haha, well, better start gaining a little composure because Chara will drive him mental.

Meh, we'll see...Chara played well against Eric Staal in last year's ECSF, but at the end of the series Staal came through.

Plus, just from an entertainment perspective, having Boston in the Finals wouldn't be so good lol

Meh, Im a Boston fan and if there is one guy outside of Ottawa I want to see win a Cup, it's Chara. It would look good on Muckler too and show people just how awful of a decision that was if they dont know already.

I agree with that, not good at all for entertainment value.

I'd rather Boston than an injuried Philly.

Atleast Boston is capable of topping the damn Pens.

Honestly though, on a sidenote, I'd rather see Heatley win the cup than see Pittsburgh in the finals again......

There's a decent chance Heatley hoists the Cup - and that makes me want to ralph. Go Pittsburgh or Chicago/Vancouver or whoever they go up against.

Damn I hate that bionic one eyed mother diddler.

Fuuuuuuuck no.
