In the pre-game show, the Versus guy was talking about how B's coach Claude Julien didn't want his team to say, or even think about the word "sweep" during their morning skate and practice. Are you kidding me? While I understand not saying that word to the press, don't you want to win, Claude? And if you win Friday night, isn't than an S-W-E-E-P sweep!?! So why are you haranguing your players, and telling them to not think about winning?

Another very close, very tight, very physical game at the Garden. And another late Bruin goal, and another win for the black and gold. Games like these are why God invented 24 ounce cans of beer. Even when there's a TV timeout, you don't want to go to the fridge for a fresh beer. You want to sit back and regather your emotional stamina.
