NHL Standings Watch - 2023-2024 Season - Updated daily for your convenience

[bruinsfan1968]

When you think about playoffs you have to think about the "revenge" game earlier in the year when they targeted McAvoy. That was just one game. That is what they will bring in the playoffs. Relentless pounding of our D and high speed pressure on the D. If we don't answer that or handle it they will wear us down, cause the turnovers, and even if we win the series we will be so banged up it'll be hard to keep going.
We need to be able to pound their D this year instead but I'm not sure we have the team to do that. We shall see if and when it happens. If we are lucky Reaves beats a few of them up first round.

Over dramatize much? Lol

It isn't really an excuse tho

It's not an excuse but it's better than trying to defend a world class choke job

I prefer to ignore what happened last year. Not healthy to dwell on it at least for me

I can't ignore such a catastrophe. I just can't.

I 100% get it. Lets hope the boys use it as motivation this year.

I think they're in a better spot knowing they HAVE to up their game this year instead of thinking the regular season success will automatically transfer to the post season. I think that was part of their issue last season.

I don’t ignore or dwell on it because it’s kind of a Bruins thing really with 2011 being the exception.

lol, no, but I've seen the story played out too many times over the years by too many teams. You can see some stuff coming before it does.
Kind of like the Leafs losing in the playoffs after a good regular season. You just know it's coming.

I think Florida is going to play mean as f$$k this year in the playoffs.

They’re not mean. They’re ratty.

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

They’re not mean. They’re ratty.

They are. Fine line. Bennet's pretty mean too and there's a few others that can be mean. I'd say Tkachuk's crosscheck on Hathaway last year was mean and ratty at the same time. I just hope they have to over use it against Toronto and walk a little wounded into the second round.

Playoff hockey. Our division will be a battle all the way through. Jeannot is the guy we need to worry about first.

They've certainly upped their game in the last few weeks and are out there hunting against the best teams in their conference .

blech...wrong thread.

Toronto can still win division even if Bruins win 1 of 3 games

Is that right

Is that right

Leafs 6 behind Bruins with 4 games left

 

[DKH]

Leafs 6 behind Bruins with 4 games left

So leafs win all 4 they are 2 ahead

If Boston goes 1-2 they tie but Leafs win tie breaker

 

[KrugAvoy]

So leafs win all 4 they are 2 ahead

If Boston goes 1-2 they tie but Leafs win tie breaker

Depends how Leafs win those games. Currently Boston has the Regulation win tie breaker. Leafs would need to win 3 of those 4 in regulation. If Boston goes 1-2 but our win is in regulation then there would be no way for the Leafs to pass us even if they go 4-0

Leafs finish the season playing Florida & Tampa

 

[Fenway]

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Leafs finish the season playing Florida & Tampa

At this point I think only Leafs and Florida could change in standings sure mathematically other scenarios could play out but I doubt it happens.

Feels like this thing is set other than who the Rangers will play.

 

[goldnblack]

I would have NO issue landing in the 2-3 over a date with Tampa.

Most likely. Toronto has the fortune of the Florida swing for their final 2 games lol.

 

[smithformeragent]

I'd love to see the Islanders feed the Rangers a shitburger in Round 1.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

I'd love to see the Islanders feed the Hurricanes s a shitburger in Round 1.

FIFY

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Bruins will still win the division. Leafs will wake up soon, realize it’s April and know the season only has a few weeks left! Lol!
