The Campbell injury really messed things up, but at the same time it put Kelly Segs and Piesy together and they played quite well.
But yea, I think too many of out big guys were playing hurt
Jagr didn't play the 2nd, Bergy went to the hospital, Krejci has an amazing run then just stops? seems like an issue maybe just the fact that with the loss of Campbell he had to play PK more, Chara looked tweaked the guy was likely on massive pain meds or something.
Horton with the shoulder issues, one of our keys to success was rolling 4 lines, in the end we had a third line, a 2nd line that was playing injured bergy/jagr, first line that was injured horton and maybe Krejci, 4th line that was completely demolished and non-consequential.
Game 5 Ference, a 3rd pair dman played the most minutes? yea..
no excuses though, winning the cup is a long battle, this year it was just a rough one in the end.

Thank you regs who bw'd the Bruins, Farine and Twax you conducted yourselves quite well and I appreciate it.
tim, Prone, EGucci, Flumi, kid0lo, Phew, Grizzy - Team looked dead at the wrong times the last couple games, we had a good run though, friggin' 4-0'd the Pens!
Fucking sucks giant donkey dick that we lost but I couldn't be more happy that we made it to the finals and lost to a beauty team like the hawks.
Thank god we have a shorter off season, can't wait to get back into it.
Yea we shouldn't be too down. Our team won it 2 years ago and have all the pieces to make it happen again soon. I'm excited to see what this team will look like. Unfortunately, some pieces will have to go, but that's what happens when you have a very deep roster.
As for Ference..that isn't the only game he played the most minutes in these playoffs iirc. I don't think we'll have that issue again though. I hope they run with the young guys next year in Bartkowski, Krug and Dougie.
