I'm not going to lie; I didn't think this would be a series at all and picked Vancouver to sweep. Part of me still thinks that Game 3 was a "flash in the pan" and nothing significant. But I'm starting to warm up to the idea of a contested series!

Should be a good one. Hopefully Boston didn't blow their load.

C'mon 8-1, maybe 4-1 or something i could see, Luongo will play good tonight, how long can Thomas do this, i hope 3 more times. But lets not forget has has been lit up himself a few times in other series.

If you do not think the home team's building factors into these games, then you are mistaken. The Canucks awoke the beast in this team before game 3 and got shat on. Canucks will obviously put up a better effort tonight but with momentum and the fans on our side..I'm thinking the Bruins match their effort and then some.

This game will be physical and I cannot wait to see how it plays out. 18 pack of stones to the face: begin.

Haha. That came out of nowhere. I spit a little bit of drink out when I scrolled down and read it.

I agree. I don't even think it will be physical. The refs will start this game the way they ended the last, by conveyer belting guys to the penalty box in an effort to keep a lid on things. I think it will work, which isn't good because the Bruins need to be able walk and occassionally cross that line to beat a team like Vancouver.

In my opinion, this is a must-win game for the Bruins. They have all the momentum right now, and are playing angry, which is when they play their best hockey. Luongo has to be doubting himself after giving up all 8 goals in the previous game. History has shown that mental toughness is not one of Luongo's strengths.

I think the B's take tonight's game in a close one.

Damn right must win, my heart has been taking a pounding during this run. They lose its over i would imagine, it would suck the life right out of the B's for sure. Hoping they come out and kick some arse even though this will be a real close game.

This has been the longest day, will 8pm get here already. I'm confident the B's will come out fired up but believe the refs are going to have a lot to do with the outcome. Dying to see how the Canucks play, after the Bruins started hitting everything in site they played a little back on their heels, with hesitation which is exactly what the Bruins need to win, B's should target Sedins right off the bat with clean, hard hits. If you start whacking them around early it will set the mind set for the whole Canuck team and give Boston the edge it needs. Hopefully Luongo's confidence is a little shot too.

Go B's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Bruins definitely have to win this game or they are done, IMO.

I have very low expectations for this game. I have a bad feeling we'll see a lot more PP's and I think the Canucks will play their best game of the finals so far. I just hope somehow the B's can come out on top.

I was just watching the news and they were saying some bars in Boston would not allow Canuck fans in. Hurricane O'reilly's is sticking with this also. Great idea this is awesome

probably good for the Canuck fans to be honest. People get drunk and dumb, **** happens.

I don't know if there will be fireworks with the way the zebras hand out 10 minute misconducts so readily.
