Stanley Cup

Carolina is fast.

Looking good, and yes, fast. Lets hope they can stay that way!!

the Canes are up 2 - 1 at the end of the second .... fast, yep .... they were a tad bit timid the 1st period but in the 2nd they played their game.... their coach, Rod Brind’Amour, was a player on the only other Cane's team that won the cup .... he was known for going wide open all the time and he's built the current team in that image .... the Bruins are one heck of a team and deserved being where they are in the playoffs

[JEBar]

yep, Boston is too good of a team to give power play opportunities to

[markiver54]

Don't think they can compete w/o the power play though. Canes are so much faster. No penalties = no contest. JMO!

[JEBar]

the puck drops at 3PM today on local NBC stations for game 2 with the Blackhawks .... as noted above the Canes played well in the first couple of periods in game 1 but penalties killed them at the start of the 3rd

[JEBar]

the Canes came out skating and hitting hard but the Bruins took it in stride .... have to give it to them, they gave the Canes an old fashion thrashing today ....

[JEBar]

game 2.... no score at the end of the first period .... very fast skating and hard hitting .... several penalties on both teams ....

[markiver54]

They're faster tonite...just need to work on that power play!!
Rask is a force to be reckoned with

[JEBar]

heck of a match, 2 - 1 for Chicago .... the Bruins have one heck of a goalie .... the story of the game was once again, too many penalties
