commentary...

the Eastern Conference finals have been wild,to say the least... between the teams,there have eighteen goals,so far,and both goaltenders have played like bull fighters,with red capes... OLE'... in fact,Dwayne Roloson got pulled after two periods,in game two,after giving up four goals in game two,and nine goals in five periods... 1980's era NHL hockey... actually,both teams are normally known for stingy defenses,and potent offenses,but both teams have played like their pants are on fire,and both goaltenders have played like screen doors... if that type of play favors one team,it is the Lightning,because they have more overall firepower to score goals... both coaches(Bruins' coach Claude Julien,and Lightning coach Guy Boucher)have shaken their heads,and have not figured out what is going on,because both teams have not played Bruins',or Lightning hockey,by taking penalties,and sloppy overall play... Tampa Bay plays a 1-3-1 zone,basically a zone lock,on defense,pinching down on passes and players coming into zone in front of Roloson,but that has been a non-factor,because of turnovers in the neutral zone,by both teams,and stupid penalties,but Roloson has stunk up the place,with goaltending that 83 year old Gordie Howe could beat,and Tim Thomas(Bruins' goaltender)has not played any better... he gave up only seven goals,against Philadelphia,in four games,and both goaltenders would lose to the 1955 Detroit Red Wings,in 2011,because both defenses really stink,and both goaltenders have played like paper,in goal... they need to tighten up both defenses around both goaltenders,or it will be last man standing,in a seven game series,that reminds people of 1980's era NHL hockey,which,by the way,is fun to watch,but for the true fan of the game,is totally frustrating,and leaves coaches with cases of whiplash...
