We've just learned that Flyers forward Sean Couturier was playing with a torn MCL. No one's tougher than hockey & football players when it comes to sports!
Tuuka Rask has indeed guaranteed a Bruins victory tonight and you guys should guide your bets accordingly:

So we basically have guarantees on the outcomes of both games tonight, a Columbus win per Tortorella and a Boston win per Rask.

If Tuuka says the Leafs are going down, I am not going to argue with him, and as far as Torts, we all know that’s a guy who speaks his mind and doesn’t make things up. He feels it. He didn’t say the BJs would win the series though, so he knows it’s likely they go down in game 7 in Washington.
Well the Rask/Tortorella guarantees proved worthless. However Babcock now gets to eat clam chowder, per his expressed desire.
Have the Caps beaten the Penguins in a single playoff series during the Crosby/Ovechkin era? As long as Malkin is healthy I see no reason why the Penguins cannot continue their mastery of the Caps. Although the play of Murray against the Flyers should be a cause for some concern.......
With the Leafs winning again i've got more & more money entering my wallet so i'm all for that. However i still predict that the Bruins will beat the Leafs & it'll be either them or Tampa representing the East in the Stanley Cup finals. That's a prediction i made prior to the start of the playoffs and i'm sticking by it. In the West i see either Nashville or the Peg representing the West.
As for myself i do not believe in the Capitals very much. They lost two defencemen in Alzner & Schmidt during the offseason which is never good. Say what you want about Karl Alzner but he played fairly well with the Caps. Schmidt is a defenceman i would have liked to have in Toronto. But the Caps are basically the same team as last year's and they barely beat the young Maple Leafs in the playoffs. Barely. Therefore i'd be shocked if they beat a loaded and healthy Penguins team. I hate guarantees since they make people look foolish after making them & failing but this time i'll guarantee that Pittsburgh will beat Washington. Put big money on it.
The Leafs are playing very well as a team & are a different team when playing disciplined hockey. Strong goaltending has been the key for them all season long (and i do agree with Don Cherry that Freddie Andersen is the non-official Vezina trophy winner) and it's no different in the playoffs. Boston's veterans have been key to their success all season long and their age may be starting to show. Sure Bergeron is likely playing injured but that's all part of hockey and of course it's also part of the aging process. Older players get injured easier.
I have no clue what will happen in Boston tomorrow night. Toronto has the momentum and the confidence to beat the Bruins. The Bruins have home ice but they must be somewhat demoralized about the Leafs coming back from a 3-1 deficit in the series. A few years ago the same thing happened and the Leafs were ahead 4-1 halfway into the third period in Boston, only to have the Bruins come back and win the game in overtime. I believe Bergeron scored the winning goal in that game. But most of the players who played in that series are no longer on the Leafs team and have been replaced by the likes of Matthews, Nylander, Marner, Brown & Hyman and the veterans are now named Kadri, Reilly, Marleau & Hainsey. And the starting goalie is named Frederik Andersen, not James Reimer.
I also have a lot more faith in Mike Babcock than i ever had in Randy Carlyle. I can't see a Babcock-coached team surrendering a 3-goal lead halfway into the third period.
Gaby,
The rookie Jake DeBrusk didn’t play a single minute of NHL playoff hockey before this series but now has peppered the Maple Leafs with 5 goals. They did not even know who Jake DeBrusk is. Now they do.

Well the clearly deserving and worthy team won this series. The Maple Leafs do not have a high quality defense that will enable playoff success. They are a shootout type team but allowing 7 goals in a game 7 isn’t going to get it done. The 7 goals allowed and 4 shots on goal in the third period (until the goalie was pulled) is plain weak.
Can’t believe the Bruins have to play TB. All the remaining teams left in the playoffs are good teams. The chaff has been weeded out and things should only get better.

Absolument, les Bruins et Jake Gardiner ont eu raison de Andersen!
Cette série est la seule que je n'ai pas deviné juste.
Voici mes choix pour la prochaine ronde:
Jets, San José, TB et Pittsburgh
Not bad neither...7sur8.....yes agree we have the 8 best teams still playing....so for the second round i will go with,
CAPS--LIGHTNING-SHARKS-PREDS......should be great and exciting second tour....enjoy.
