Eastern Conference Finals: Day Six

#3 Boston Bruins / #5 Tampa Bay Lightning


Series tied 3-3 after a 5-4 Lightning win


Literally back and forth, this whole game. It looked like Boston had the lead but then Tampa roared back to take it.

And then Boston tried to play catch-up the rest of the game. Tim Thomas, what happened?

Boston's defense, what happened?

Oh, we know what it was.

Martin St. Louis, nice to see you back.

As well as you Mr. Krejci, nice hat trick.

A couple of beautiful, dirty goals were scored.

Can't wait for Game Seven. It's gonna be a doozy.

Good move.


- Kyle Okposo signed a 5-year contract extension with the Islanders. Can't wait to actually see him play for the Isles.


- The Sabres signed Marcus Foligno to an entry-level deal. Yes! The good-looking Foligno is coming to the NHL. (so mean but we can't help it that Nick looks like a troll)
