Being a Montreal fan,I just can't cheer for the Bruins...I say Chicago in 6...

 

[Alucard]

Hawks in 4.

 

[Red_Man]

It should be a good match up, but I hope the Hawks erase the Bruins in 4, no mercy, lets end this season already.

 

[Dragon]

Hawks in 4.

Taste dat salttttttt

 

[zychi]

We're supposed to get some horrible storms tonight. Shit better not make the power go out during the game.

Hawks in 7.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Excited for tonight. Hopefully this series is good, unlike the dreadful finals.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Jesus fuck. Tornado sirens and warnings twice in the last hour.

 

[MacAttack]

Bruins in six.

Hoping the weather doesn't knock out the power for any Hawks fans. Stay safe and have fun, it should be a great series.

 

[ATF487]

Yeah, stay safe Hawks fans.

but GO BRUINS

Hawks in 7.

United Center announced they are preparing for a power out.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

United Center announced they are preparing for a power out.

I think they have backups. Passed here at least. My power should be okay. should be hitting Chicago before the game unless more pop up.

 

[Marvie_3]

The wait for this game to start is killing me.

 

[Heretic]

Excited! Should be a fun series to watch!

 

[UberTag]

Glad to see most of NHL-GAF is against us. Bruins and their fans REVEL in being underdogs.

Makes me nostalgiac for Bruins-Oilers 1988 and the infamous Stanley Cup finals blackout.

Worth watching this clip to be aware of the protocol in play if a playoff game is started and unable to be finished due to an act of god.
The result of the game will be anulled regardless of score at the time it is suspended and the game will be moved to the end of the playoff schedule (if necessary).

Game 1 would be in Chicago.
Games 2 and 3 would be in Boston.
Game 4 would be in Chicago.
Game 5 (if necessary) would be in Boston.
Games 6 and 7 (if necessary) would be in Chicago.

 

[Curufinwe]

I'd prefer the Bruins to win.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Can we please start already

And a funnel cloud reported in my city. Fun.

 

[Solo]

Who will win? Bruins in 6.
Who do I want to win? I want the other 28 owners to lockout the players and have no Cup awarded.

 

[Sanjuro]

Going to be listening to a majority of the series via radio. Can't wait. Good luck, Chicago-age.

Hopefully Rask doesn't continue to fuck things up.

There's a difference between being an underdog, and the majority of people hoping your team burst into flames.

By choice or out of necessity?

 

[UberTag]

I've been wearing my Bergeron jersey all day and have no plans to take it off before game time tonight.
If the Bruins find themselves in a deep hole, my magical jersey powers will cause the United Center to lose power and the game to be cancelled.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Blackhawks in 7.

 

[Sanjuro]

By choice or out of necessity?

The latter. Took on a second shift temporarily.

 

[Red_Man]

First game I'll be able to watch since the 2nd round, Andi still a goddess as always.

 

[Giggzy]

Don't pussy foot it guys

 

[ShaneB]

First game I'll be able to watch since the 2nd round, Andi still a goddess as always.

Lovely attire to celebrate this occasion.

Come on, let's drop the puck already!

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Come on boys. Time to play the series that matters.

 

[Red_Man]

Quennville is from that shit hole Windsor? First good thing I've heard to come from there.

 

[vatstep]

Welp, here we go. Should be a great series. I'm more of an "adult" than I was two years ago, and this time I don't feel like we're facing an opponent that I couldn't stomach to see win a Cup, so best of luck to Hawks-GAF! Marv, Rev, Apoc... <3

Also, to all the rest of you losers, there'll be no asterisk on this Cup. Original Six, bitches. Fuck a lockout.

 

[MacAttack]

Good intro by NBC, nobody says "Raymond Bourque!" like Bill Patrick.

The broadcast crew is a little bland. I would prefer home town announce crews for each team and a national broadcast.

I live in Windsor lol

(I'm not from here though. It does fucking suck)

I'm sick of Doc Emmerich. I don't hate the guy, but the only people that love him are other media people &#8212; always showering him in praise. Listening to the commentary on the radio instead. Goucher rules.

 

[Smiley90]

Basically. Not that I hope much better fate for Chicago... But... They're the lesser evil. Plus, they beat the Queens.

 

[ActStriker]

Let's fucking do this.

 

[Red_Man]

(I'm not from here though. It does fucking suck)

:lol really? I feel for you man, I've had friends move there and none could last longer then a year. I assume you're there for school / work?

 

[vatstep]

So weird that Chicago is getting fucked by shitty weather tonight. Two years ago for Game 1, there were tornadoes in Western Mass, and I lost power after the 1st period. That sucked.

 

[ZeroGravity]

:lol really? I feel for you man, I've had friends move there and none could last longer then a year. I assume you're there for school / work?

School, yeah. I already graduated so once I can maybe make enough money I'll probably find somewhere nicer.

Im hooking up the radio at second intermission.

edit to an earlier post: Fred Cusick, the former B's announcer, had many great "Raymond Bourque!" goal calls.

 

[UberTag]

Game 1s this playoff season...

Bruins 4 Leafs 1
Bruins 3 Rangers 2 [OT]
Bruins 3 Penguins 0

Blackhawks 2 Wild 1 [OT]
Blackhawks 4 Red Wings 1
Blackhawks 2 Kings 1

Which of these teams will draw first blood?

Best of luck Hawks-GAF!
Best of luck fellow playoff beard growing-GAF!
May the best team/beard taste victory!

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Let's do this.

 

[Slurmer]

Can't believe I have to listen to Eddie O call another Blackhawks final.

 

[Draconian]

Why didn't you shoot it Shaw?

 

[MacAttack]

Get that third line off the ice!

Fucking Kelly with the turnover, I miss Campbell

 

[ZeroGravity]

Some good hitting already.

 

[Red_Man]

Looks like a fucking demolition derby out there :lol

 

[lamaroo]

Shaw should have shot, create a rebound at least.

 

[Acid08]

Hawks look awesome.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Hnnnng.

 

[UberTag]

Nice stop by Crawford on Killer Krejci there.

 

[ShaneB]

Great first period so far.
