Just a few things that caught my eye:

• Thanks for the memories, Bruce Boudreau. You'll find work soon enough. Maybe it'll be with a team that has guys who play as hard as Guy Boucher's boys do in Tampa.

• Guess the Flyers have the Bruins right where they want them. Right?

• Eight points in three games. Thanks for waking up, David Krejci.

• It's funny how Mike Babcock and Barry Trotz have better job security than your average non-union civil servant but Bruce Boudreau, Claude Julien and Alain Vigneault have to justify their very existence on pretty much a daily basis. It's Cup or unemployment for the latter three.

• A hat trick delivers a 3-0 series lead. Devin Setoguchi picked a great time to re-find his scoring touch.

• John Erskine finished the postseason with more goals than Nicklas Backstrom. And he only scored once. Ouch.

• It only took 31 tries for the Bruins to notch a power-play goal. Every good streak must eventually come to an end.

• "Obviously the start was not good for us," says Peter Laviolette. Is there an award for stating the obvious? But then again, if general manager Paul Holmgren had gotten him a goalie at the deadline... I guess Paul thought his defenders of the twine tent were better than, say, Tomas Vokoun?

• So which came first -- the crazy goalie or the goalie made crazy by his coach? 

• Sometimes I wish an NHL coach would lose it the way Ozzie Guillen does. Mental.

• Dany Heatley needed a Wasabi snort to get himself back in the game after that dump truck named Niklas Kronwall flattened him. Smelling salts wouldn't have cleared up that fog.

• The best corn brooms stand straight up by themselves if you tap them hard -- bristles down -- on the floor. You should know that the next time you go to the hardware store.
