another great game though in the Boston / Columbus series ..
this one went to double over time with Columbus walking away the victor..
Series is now tied there at 1-1

[brian51]

Boston now has tied there series with Columbus at 2-2

Most of the other better teams besides Boston have been eliminated now from this year's playoffs

[brian51]

Really great game last night , this game 5 between Columbus and Boston.
I thought the best game of the playoffs so far, that was eventually won by Boston 4-3..

To put them up in the 7 game series , 3-2 ..

[Guardian]

Guess I'll root for Columbus now. Improbable underdog.

[brian51]

Ok so good news for you Guardian,

.. as Columbus has now forced a final game 7 !!

[Guardian]

Sweet!

[brian51]

Actually i got some of what i posted wrong
Columbus only forced a game 6 ( so i guess they were down 3-1 in the series score)..
They lost game 6 to Boston last night (3-0)..
The Bruins got all the breaks in the game and were very lucky
Columbus did play a decent game at least, but Boston now advances to play carolina in the
east conference finals

[Guardian]

Ah, well. Can't win them all (any).

[brian51]

Big win for St Louis Blues last night , so they advance to the  conference finals..

[brian51]

Update :

Boston is up on carolina 1-0 in games, in the east final to see who goes to the stanley cup

[Thomas]

LGB!!

[brian51]

Okay in the west conference finals, San Jose held off St Louis Blues to win game 1, 6-3
,, so that series now starts off 1-0 in favor of San Jose

[brian51]

The bruins are now up 3-0 in there series..
so it is looking like this series will be over with quite soon

[Guardian]

That's pretty impressive to do in the playoffs.

[brian51]

Yes but now tough loss for the blues last night
They gave up the tying call with the goalie pulled..
Than the over time goal scored against them should have never happened because of an illegal hand pass
So will be interesting to see how they bounce back for game 4
San Jose is up 2-1 in the west finals now

[Guardian]

I hear Carolina got swept? ...and there seems to be some officiating controversy rising up because of that no-call you referenced.

[brian51]

yes, Boston has swept carolina and is now waiting in the final for the west champ

[brian51]

The blues have played 2 amazing games after there last heart breaking loss..
and now an update:
they lead the series with San Jose, 3 games - 2
