Boston scored 3 goals in one power play, first time that's ever happened. They also clinched a playoff spot. All 8 spots are clinched in the West, now it's all about seeding.

Bruins are 6th seed and it looks like they will play buffalo in the first round. good matchup

Excuse my lack of hockey knowledge but doesnt a pp end when someone scores. did they have three people in the penalty box?

laurjohn2

it was a penalty kill. they were shorthanded goals

NolaFree810

so the team against boston was in a power play and boston scored three goals in that time period?

laurjohn2

yes, it was a carolina power play that boston scored 3 goals on

NolaFree810

ok i understand...

JLRedWing13

Yes, I didn't say that right. Worst power play ever.

Rangers and Philly will play for the eighth seed in the East tomorrow, then we will be all set for the playoffs.

laurjohn2

if philly loses in overtime, both teams will make the playoffs, and montreal get eliminated

laurjohn2

uh, nevermind, canadians clinched the 7 spot. i heard they lost yesterday and didnt know it was an overtime loss

HOODS

i really hope the flyers pull it off today, i need another week of hockey. but thats all its gonna be i think, just a week cause they should get smoked in the 1st round. especially if they play washington. i'm gonna grab some beers and hopefully the beer gods pull this one out for us!

laurjohn2

Necrothulhu
