Notes:
- Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Bruins 1970 Stanley Cup and "The Goal". The Bruins will unveil a statue of Bobby Or outside the TD Garden before tonight's game. For more information of the statue, check out my recent interview with the sculptor, Harry Weber.
- Daniel Carcillo did not practice with the Flyers on Sunday. He was either nursing his banged up knee or washing his '85 Camaro while rocking out to Iron Maiden. He is expected to play tonight.
- I think the B's will wrap this thing up tonight. Then they can rest up and watch the Pens and Habs beat up on each other.
- Dennis Seidenberg skated on Saturday for the first time since slicing a tendon in this forearm over a month ago in game against Toronto on April 3rd. Seidenberg skated on his own with strength and conditioning coach John Whitesides. He is still not able to stretch the tendon, but said his recovery is on schedule.
- Tonight's game will air on NESN inside of New England. Versus will have coverage outside the region. The puck drops at 7:00. As always, the Public Skate open thread starts right here at 6:30.

Gah! You lucky New Englanders get Crazy Jack, and I get the Versus crew. What a bummer. Maybe I’ll get lucky and the Center Ice package will be showing the NESN feed anyway.
I’m calling a 4-1 B’s win tonight, to match the series outcome.
You think we are lucky to get Jack Edwards? He is physically painful to listen to. I absolutely loathe him as an announcer. If I had to choose between winning the Cup or getting rid of him I might actually have to think about it.

Jack is great because he’s a maniac. Would you rather listen to some boring monotonous announcer?

So do you mute the TV and put on the radio?

That’s pretty cool. I wonder if it works.

Well basically it delays the radio feed. Which should work perfectly, unless the radio is behind the TV for some reason. (Unlikely)

No, but now that I know about that link below I might.
Won’t matter tonight as I will be there.
Very excited
I got to see em clinch last series live and plan on seeing them doing the same tonight.

Edwards has grown on me.
When he began, I wasn’t a fan, but I’ve gotten used to it, and it gives us something unique. If you want painful to listen to you’re talking about Heinsohn
bring back dale arnold
dale was great. Jack edwards is almost as bad as John Sterling.

Jack
I was thinking about this the other day, and it hit me that Jack Edwards has been one of the many reasons this team has experienced a resurgance in popularity. He’s become a part of the personality of the franchise – you can’t think about watching the 2007-onward B’s without hearing him shout about Gretzky’s office and sending pucks down the river. Yeah, Dale Arnold is a great play-by-play man and certainly knows his stuff (I preferred him when the two were splitting duties out of familiarity), but Jack’s enthusiasm is part of what has made the last few years so fun. And, unfortunately I think we will look back on Arnold as part of a down period for the team, however undeserving of that he is.
Yeah, that’s a shame. I do like Jack, though he is still learning the game. Can you imagine if he was making wacky calls AND knew half as much as Brick?

I’m pretty sure Versus isn’t touching the game at all with the Pens/Habs game getting the air time. I’m hoping (praying actually) that my Center Ice package will be picking the game up. They have pretty much switched the NHL package over to the MLB one.
I think the NHL Network should pick it up though….it’s a pretty important game.
This is correct.

F#&$ing golf
I bet if it wasn’t for “The Players”, the B’s would already be resting up for round 2. Instead, they’ve got to play a game 5 the same night the other ECSF is at game 6. Boo this NBC! Boooooooo!!!
Versus will be covering the Pens-Habs game.
Will I get NESN on NHL Center Ice? Will they give me the game?

They should be. Throughout the playoffs, if it’s not on Versus, it’s been on Center Ice. I would be stunned if it’s not. And pissed.
It might be on the alternate Versus channel, too. That’s 604 for those with DTV. If you have Comcast/Time Warner/Dish, you’re on your own.
What about Bright House?

This blows.
The Bruins are far more entertaining to watch than the Pens/Habs series. I will be getting updates I guess. Is there a live online feed I can watch the game from? Maybe I can sync laptop to TV. Thats what I did for the UFC fight this weekend, but I don’t have a site to stream live hockey. Anybody know anything????
Sucks to be a Boston fan in California.
Whoever said it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, probably lost.

No clue.
Im in Florida and get Bright House. I dont know if it will be on the Versus alternate channel or what, or maybe Center Ice. I’ll be here for updates all night if I cant get it.

NHL Network should really pick up games when this happens. And honestly, The Flyers are facing elimination. Crosby has been a non factor for the Pens in the series against the Habs. To me that makes the Bruins/Flyers a much more intriguing match-up. Not that I would expect Versus to do anything that makes sense.
I would assume that part of NHLN’s deal was that they wouldn’t poach playoff games. Center Ice is probably a much bigger revenue stream for the league than NHLN, and if NHLN starts poaching playoff games, they might create a problem. It’s one thing to pick up Hockey Night in Canada’s feed on a Saturday in January. It’s another to black out a playoff game, or steal ratings from a network that paid good money to be part of your premium package.
