PrintOnly eight teams made it into May, and the Carolina Hurricanes are one of them. Tonight, they kick off their Eastern Conference semifinals series with the Bruins in Boston, hoping to catch a long-idle team off guard in Game 1.
But standing in their way are two of the NHL's most dominant players this season — Norris Trophy candidate Zdeno Chara and Vezina frontrunner Tim Thomas — plus a top-to-bottom solid supporting cast that mixes youth, experience and grit.
Also, please visit Stanley Cup Of Chowder for a Bruins perspective.

Would anybody like to help me here?
I’m the second poster after a bit of bile from a Canadian who thinks that all hockey teams belong up North/in Canada/out of the South.
Anyone else like to say, “Hey we’re Caniacs and we care!”?

Sounds like we’re going up against an over-confident bunch. It’s not smart to underestimate an experienced team with an experienced playoff goaltender. Timmy Thomas’ only playoff series win was last round and let’s just say Cam has been there before.
I like the Canes to steal game one. After that, strap in for another fantastic series!
Still not a crook!
No kidding- stanley cup of chowder (their blog) seems to have all but written us off. Thats crap. All we gotta do is go up to Boston and snag one by the end of the weekend to get things moving- then take it back home. I AM PUMPED FOR THIS GAME TONIGHT!!!! We are now 1 of 8!
