Boston Bruins Painful Collapse

[baseballfans]

Hockey fans may have witnessed arguably the single biggest chokes in sports history. Boston Bruins completed the ultimate humiliation. Up 3 games to none to Flyers, they completely collapsed. If that wasn't bad enough, the Bruins were up 3-0 in the 1st period of game 7 at home and still managed to lose. And the game winning goal was scored on a power play because the Bruins had too many men on the ice penalty. The worst nightmare has become reality.

What was painful about it?

My second favorite hockey team comes from down 3-0...I love it...

Listen, during the pre season I heard Barry Melrose pick the Blackhawks and the Flyers to meet in the finals, and the Hawks to win the Cup... I really had not followed the Flyers in probably 7 years, so I had to do some research on them. Once I did, I decided I liked his picks, and that was who I was picking/rooting for. I wont go so far as to say these are my picks, since it was Melrose who first picked them, but it is who I have been telling people since the pre season would make it to the finals. 4 wins away for each team.

I am picking the Blackhawks in 6 (they pretty much dominated the Sharks during the season), and I see no reason why the Flyers can't beat Montreal. Honestly, for the history of it all, I would prefer the Canadiens to make it to the finals, but since I originally went with the Flyers, I am sticking to that pick.

I can't wait for tomorrows games to start.

I felt sorry for the Bruins. I don't know how it was even possible. I mean not only losing the 3-0 lead in series, they also lose 3-0 lead in game 7.

But look at the bright side... it's not an old team and the young goalie Rask is phenomenal... I think Bruins is going to be very strong team in the next 5 years. Lots of good players... and who doesn't love Milan Lucic... new Cam Neely in the making...
