PrintNot only was last night's game one of the NHL's best Game 7's in recent memory, but it's hard to recall a seven-game series that was so tightly contested and dramatic. From stellar goaltending to improbable goals, vicious hits to inspiring grace, New Jersey and Carolina's epic series will go down as one of the most memorable for many fans.
But with the euphoria comes the realization that the Hurricanes now face the Eastern Conference's top team, a squad they failed to beat in four meetings this season. The Bruins feature skill, grit and a Vezina-nominated goalie, plus Mark Recchi and Aaron Ward, members of Carolina's 2006 Stanley Cup-winning team.
For today, the team, its fans and the hockey world can focus on an amazing first-round matchup for the ages. Congratulations to the New Jersey Devils on an amazingly hard-fought series.
Finally, a big thanks and condolences to our friends at In Lou We Trust, who did a great job covering the series from the New Jersey angle. With that in mind, we greet Stanley Cup Of Chowder, SB Nation's Bruins blog. Good luck in Round 2.

Love that picture – please, someone figure out how to cheer in Finnish for me!
Been reading the Boston blogs. Chara had his first child, a daughter, this past Monday – hopefully he’s not getting a wink of sleep and his priorities are changing as he considers fatherhood – a great distraction. They sound like the Bruins may have forgotten they’re in the middle of the playoffs – the fans are either concerned we’ve got too much momentum or over-confident that they are unbeatable based on the CAR-BOS season 0-4 record. I just don’t know yet. I still enjoying last night’s summaries from the national press.
THe pittsburgh fans all think we’re gonna take it from BOS in 6 and we’ll be facing them in the ECS. Who’da thunk that in early Feb?

PRICELESS
I think the best part of all the highlight pics from the game are the fans faces. On one of the highlights of Staals celebration the girl in the background is giving him a little hand gesture.

Love the look on the Devils Fans faces !! Priceless !!
I did a screen capture of a "Jersey Girl"
who was sitting down low and was behind Staal and the other Canes after the 4th and final goal from the Hurricanes.
Just a note, my mom’s a “Jersey Girl” too and even she agrees this is so typical Jersey.
She also isn’t talking to me since MY ‘Canes beat HER Devils (maybe I shouldn’t have called her and rub it in after game 7 huh?) – just kidding about that part.
Anyways, it shows her telling the ‘Canes that they are “Number 1” with both hands. I think she’s alos saying “Puck You” in reference to the puck handling ability of the ’Canes.
