Well fortunately the Hawks don't play like the Pens.

Maybe. It's hard to really gauge how the series will go given that the season was shortened to only in-conference opponents.

There is no doubt this will be an incredible series, booker. I can say with certainty, however, that the Pens and Hawks play an entirely different style of hockey.

Wow, triple OT in game one.

The NHL playoffs and the Stanley Cup Finals are the most exciting event in sports at the moment.

Tough loss B's - well played Chicago - a battle of attrition in game one.

OK, first blood drawn. Tough battle on Chicago's home ice.

Big break between game one and two... time to adjust, tighten the skates and get the split on Saturday taking it back to the Garden.

Go B's

What a game...my Hawks prevailed!

I'll tell you what, there is no better sports event than the Stanley Cup finals.

I need a nap.

Great game. Hawks can definitely match up against the physicality of the Bruins. My 5 game prediction is out the window.

Way to go Bruins!

Great job bouncing back and taking the split back to home ice. Far fewer shots on goal last night.

This is going to be a grind.

Great hockey.

Good game by the Bruins. The Hawks have GOT to start scoring on the power play.

Then again there was that controversial early whistle that disallowed Hossa's goal. NBC's replay showed the puck crossing the goal line but what you cannot hear is if there was a whistle prior to it. The ref lost sight of the puck, I get that but geez let the play go on. Not the first time they've prematurely made a call but too late now.

Next!

Bruins penalty kill specialists were huge!

Good win.

More work to do - stay focused B's !

Another OT game 6-5 Hawks in one of the most exciting games of the year.

Series tied returning to Chicago.

This is turning into an epic Final series.

Go B's !

From this point onward the NHL got it right with the playoff locations alternating back and forth.

Boston's gotta step it up on the road in Chicago!
