Managed to snap this pic during the game the other night. I’m a little late to the party.

I took the original and then zoomed in on the second.

I was at the game, check out these. Good series. Too bad my boys could not pull it off. Go caps! (not a bandwagon fan, I actually have been a fan since the good old Kolzig and Bondra days, but being born and raised in Boston, needless to say this one hurts)

I agree. Set aside Marshmonts diving, this was a clean series. Yes there were scrums but compare this to all the other series, and this was classy, close, and clean. I will be cheering the caps (mostly because I am a caps fan, but they showed me some true grit the way they played my Bruins.) I hope Holby can mature fast. Not going to lie the Bruins did not put bodies to the net and he gave up a ton of rebounds. If the Senators and Panthers win, watch out because Philly will play like Boston, but they will absolutely put briere and hartnell at the cage for rebounds. Should be a good ride folks. Good luck again. I hope to make it to a caps game next year in DC. you guys make a Saturday matinee game feel like game 7. Keep it up.

I had to wait til this morning to read your recap. I am onboard a cruise ship. So we could watch the game but …. It felt strangely empty not coming here during and after the game. We watched in a lounge full of Bruins fans and a precious few Caps fans. That was quite an experience to hear those fans response. They left before the handshake line. Which was beautiful. As my father in law said, “The bruins and the Caps are comppetitors not enemies.” A fitting end.

Not only was this the closest playoff series ever. This was a class series. As a Caps fan, I know I would have been rooting for Boston going forward if Boston had won, and I am sure more than a few Bruins fans will be rooting for the Caps now, hoping for the consolation of having lost to the Stanley Cup Champion when the season is done.

It is interesting that if the two games 7 today break right (Florida and Ottawa advancing), there will be only one team of the remaining eight that has ever won a Stanley Cup, and that team not since 1975.
