Not really. Remember that the series turned on an atrocious missed penalty call that led to the Lightning going ahead and winning a game with 4-5 minutes left. If the official calls the penalty as he should have and Boston scored a PP goal that’s a totally different series. I actually thought Boston outplayed them in that series
It wasnt as bad as the score of the series indicated but it wasnt particularly close either. Tb won that series pretty convincingly. I compare it to the series we had against the Islanders a few years back. Not as bad as the series score indicates. Although I think the Islanders played us better than the Bruins did last year.
I think it would be closer this time around as the Bruins had some injuries last year. They are a very well structured team and could give any team problems, including TB. However this Lightning team is pretty damn good. I would have to give Boston mad props if they beat this Lightning team. Our last game against them will cause some of their fans to think we wont be as difficult as people say but I can guarantee this wont be an easy series for either team if it gets to it.
