I can already tell that the upcoming Canadiens-Bruins series is going to take its toll on me from so many different angles. First, it's a playoff series involving the team I cheer for, so there's that. Also, it's my favorite team against my favorite team's most bitter rival, and that bitter rival just so happens to have a history of embellishing penalties and general irritation.
However, there are new angles present that I feel like were not as prevalent when the teams matched up in the 2008, 2009 and 2011 postseason. Namely, the sports radio hosts in Boston are going out of their way to bag on the Candiens for their history of embellishment that I'd previously mentioned, and I can already tell the "Call 911!" jokes are going to come early and often.
Also, my Facebook feed has been inundated with jokes at the expense of the Canadiens that just oozes homophobia and racism. Like every three posts is something about the Canadiens players being something effeminate or something gay, or P.K. Subban being something offensive.
I think I might just watch the games alone with the sound on the television off. That might be the only way I get through this series without wanting to throw a brick at something.

If you want something different, you could listen to Felger and Mazz and get a good dose of Felger ripping on the Bruins.

3 Game 6s tonight with Pens/Jackets at 7, Avs/Wild at 9, and Sharks/Kings at 10. Pretty sure one of these series will go to 7.
And before everything gets serious tonight, lets all have a good laugh:

That Ducks game... amazing. Had me jumping up and screaming when they tied it. Great ending to a hard fought game. *Realizes you're a Ducks fan* ... We can no longer be friends. * *note: I'm joking of course, but that's a bad life choice. This should make PWG shows awkward to attend in my Ducks shirt and cap.

My personal preference - Pens seal their series tonight, but both the Wild and Kings force Game 7.

I hope that the Avs can seal it up tonight, but with as good as both the Avs and Wild play at home I think it's more likely the Wild will force a game 7.

My personal preference - Pens seal their series tonight, but both the Wild and Kings force Game 7. Switch Pens/CBJ and Avs/Wild and I agree.

Hope the Sharks can finish this series tonight....I don't like playing the Kings in seven.

I think it's closing time for the Avs/Sharks and the Jackets force game 7.

So we're either gonna get Pens/Rangers or Pens/Flyers. Either way, popcorn is required.

ANd the Avs are down one to a PP goal 49 seconds in. And 2 minutes in the Wild have like 5 legit scoring chances.
