Ordinarily I don't follow the NHL very closely, but the Bruins are going to the conference finals. That's the farthest they have made it since 1992, and they did it with only one meaningful power play goal in the entirety of two complete series. They just swept the Flyers, a team that most people picked them to lose to, and now will face Tampa Bay. Pretty cool to see them do well, since they usually find some spectacular way to lose to end the season, and they have a lot of momentum on their side, so maybe they can make a push to the Stanley Cup finals. Oh, and Tim Thomas is beastly.

Nashville got fucking hosed in game three against Vancouver, then they lost game four. So now they're down 3-1.

I'm rooting for two things:
1. The Red Wings to lose
2. The Lightning to win
Denver Broncos: defending champs, 8-6, next game 12/25 @ Kansas City Chiefs
Colorado Rockies: 75-87, missed playoffs
Colorado Avalanche: 11-18-1, next game 12/20 @ Minnesota Wild
Denver Nuggets: 12-16, next game 12/20 @ Los Angeles Clippers
Colorado Mammoth: first game 12/30 @ Buffalo Bandits
Denver Outlaws: defending champs, first game 4/22 @ Charlotte Hounds
Colorado State Rams football: 7-5, next game Idaho Bowl 12/22 vs Idaho Vandals
Colorado State Rams basketball: 8-4, next game 12/22 vs Long Beach State 49ers
Winnipeg Blue Bombers: 11-7, lost West Division Semifinal
Denver Pioneers Lacrosse: first game 1/24 vs Johns Hopkins Blue Jays
#2 Denver Pioneers Hockey: 12-3-3, next game 12/30 @ Providence College Friars

Why do you want the Lightning to win? Dislike of Boston?

While I do love to hate Boston, I'm rooting for Tampa for other reasons.

One, I picked them as a potential finals contender before the playoffs started.

Two, the franchise recently started turning a profit for the first time and I think winning a second Stanley Cup would really cement the long-term health of the market.

The NHL's expansion into southern markets has been very hit (San Jose, Carolina, Tamba, Los Angeles, Nashville) and miss (Florida Panthers, Phoenix Coyotes, Atlanta Thrashers).

I'd like to see the Wings win it obviously but I think it would be fun to see the Lightning win it too. Their GM is Steve Yzerman who was the captain of the Wings for fucking ever and it would be cool to see his team win it all if the Wings don't make it.

Vancouver is having a lot of trouble closing out series. They are now 1-4 in series clinching games.

To be fair, Nashville is a resilient team and they had to play the defending champs in the first round.

Well, the Red Wings are one win away from climbing out of a 3-0 hole.

Excellent.

Detroit is gone from the hockey playoffs, Los Angeles and Boston are gone from the NBA playoffs.

Life is good.

yeah. Eyes are on the Lighting now. Funny that I'm going to be spending the next week in Tampa visiting family.

Tampa put the hurt on Boston in game 1, 5-2.

Tough loss at home for the Bruins.

The Bruins just had a horrendous 3 minute stretch that cost them a shot at the game. They lost the first two games of the Montreal series at home, so I'm not panicking yet. Glad to see Seguin get a goal in his first playoff game, I imagine he may be the one to take Marc Savard's spot on the team, seeing as he's likely to retire due to the concussion issues. Oh, and Thomas Kaberle sucks.

Bruins won game 2, but they can't keep allowing 5 goals per game if they want to win this series. Seguin had 4 points, and after putting up 6 points in 2 games, I don't know how you can keep him out of the lineup.

Eat shit, Boston.

The Bruins took a 3-0 lead in the first period, then Tampa scored five straight goals to win 5-3.

Epic.

Awesome game, awesome comeback. I'm pulling for Tampa to lift the Cup this year.
