Bolts will play Montreal

[Bullshiznitz]

The Bruins choked (sorry VG) and lost game 7 to Montreal 2-0. Things couldnt have worked out better for the BOLTS. Montreal doesnt worry me at all. An Eastern final between Philly and the BOLTS would be awesome.

no need to be sorry, the didn't deserve to win... they played like they were scared!

bullstiz- you called bruns performance correctly.you know hockey better than politics

but bolts series will go 6 or 7 with habs.bolts will have a tough time in the montreal forum, a storied arena.

i don't know who will win but each game will be great.

Bruins did choke. Really suked to watch. Montreal has one line that does anything and B's still could not stop them. Tampa couldnt have asked for anything better.

Was Thornton's injury a key factor in series?

I watched 5 of the games from beginning to end and Joe played very good but was not his physical self and as soon as series ended they announced that he indeed had torn rib cartlidge and said most people would not have played. He didnt score a point in the series so yes it did hurt him but I am glad he sucked it up and played and played hard.  B's just couldnt score a goal though they controlled the action in almost every game.  MTL is very happy to sit back with 4 guys in front of goalie and only take offensive chances when they have odd man rushes.  I would think the Lightning should beat them but so should have the Bruins.  I will say the LKightning dont have the history with the habs that the B's do and that should help the lightning.  The Mtl Forum is a very loud building so it is important to get ahead and try and take the crowd out of the game.  I like the lightning in 5.

That means they'd have to clinch AT Montreal ............ I like KR's five better.

I don't care WHERE they clinch as long as they clinch.

Unless it's for a financial reason, there is NO debate ...... Playoff hockey is fanastic! If the Bolts play this whole thing out and win the Cup, I may have to call it a tie with being at SBVII as far as memorable personal sports events.
