Defensively we are the worst team remaining in the playoffs, as far as I'm concerned.

Philly has issues with their keepers, but Bobrovsky was pretty darn solid tonight, especially in the second period. He made a few really nice saves, and 2 of the goals were golden platter type chances (2 more were empty netters).
The interesting thing about that situation, is that I'm not sure Philly will go out and get a top keeper. Bobrovsky's numbers were pretty solid for a rookie, and I think they'll go with him next season. Pick up a veteran maybe, but I would be surprised to see something drastic (like unloading salary - say Jeff Carter), and targeting a FA like Bryzgalov.
Great game by the Bruins tonight, very nice to see Lucic grab his first 2 of the playoffs. We need that. I'm pretty worried about Bergeron though - Hope he's alright!
Going to be a really tough series against TBay!

People laughed last year when I said Halak for Jeff Carter.
I wonder if Philly would still have done that trade if they had a do over.
If there is any evidence that goaltending wins championships, this was it.
Philly's goaltenders are beyond abysmal. How they made the playoffs with that three headed monster is beyond me.
The Bruins took it to them all series, and ripped out their hearts

Leighton basically didn't play for them this year - literally 1 game in the regular season. What they were thinking bringing him into the fold at this sensitive time of the season, god only knows. Dance with the one that brought you.
For a rookie, Bobrovsky was pretty solid for most of the year. Terrible at times, but if you look at the whole body of work, he's been pretty good. I think they'll try to minimally upgrade with a veteran backup, but I guess we'll see. Goaltending is perpetually a problem in Philly - just like it was in Boston for quite awhile after Moog. At this point, it's pretty ridiculous.
Boucher really let in a few soft goals; backbreakers. Especially that 2nd quick one at 1:03 of game 3. His numbers are likely better than his performance in these playoffs.
van Riemsdyk may make Carter expendable, but JC is such a quality player and he's on a pretty good deal; he could command quite a bit in return, but I don't think they'll go that route.
It will be interesting to see if they stick with Bobrovsky.
I guess we'll see what happens. Either way, Boston is a very young team that is getting a ton of great experience, and I'm really enjoying watching this particular group of players grow as a team.
So much depends on Patrice Bergeron's health - still no word on his condition as of yet, after he spent some time in the quiet room. It's hard to tell if he didn't return to the game because we quickly got the lead and then extended it during the designated 15 min wait, or if he actually has a concussion.
Given his history, I'm sure the situation will be handled very cautiously. Hopefully he's okay.

Motherfuck. It's 'mild', but still terrible news. I hope they pay real close attention to what's going on with this guy; frankly, I'd be more comfortable if they just shut him down. Can't take any risks with a guy like Patrice. Going to be really hard to beat TBay without our best forward.
Get well soon, Bergy. Tyler Seguin, it's time to step your game up - big time.
Hopefully these other series' get extended. Go Nashville and Detroit.

I think the Sharks have good choking potential, so Boston could matchup well with them. The problem for Boston is that San Jose are very good in front of their own net and they have a hot goaltender, unlike Philly. But on the the other hand, the Nucks' ability with the puck would probably be too much for them. We'll see.
