Don't know, to be honest, I love all of them great players, Orr, Howe, Gretzky my own countrymen, Kurri, Tikkanen, Selänne. Who cares, they have all been good for the game, haven't they. That's why it's so good to watch them play, or it used to be. Add Bobby Hull there and Phil Esposito and so many others as well, all great players to make hockey entertaining, eh?

Bruins look much more tired, Hawks took it to them. 5-0 without Rask's efforts.

Boston sloppy to open 2nd, not their usual tight, disciplined selves.

Slow start for the Bruins, Rask keeping it from being a slaughter. Second half of the game belonged to the Bruins.
This series reminds me of what John Wooten said, "Sports don't build character; they reveal it."

Great series so far, they are well-matched. Only 6 mins in penalties last night! No stupid fighting just hockey. Boston outplayed them in the 3rd and in OT.

Took Boston a while to get it together, but when they did it was great!

Game 3 to Boston. I wouldn't be surprised to see Boston close it out at 4 to 1 now. Pete :cheers:

Was a great series even though I was hoping Boston would win also
