Detroit

They are easily the worst team

Easiest matchup to hardest id prob rank them

Detroit
Florida
Buffalo
Islanders
Capitals
Penguins

 

[McGarnagle]

Legit don't care, we'll beat them all.

If I get the luxury to choose I'd say I'd prefer to not play Washington just because I hate watching games in their dark ass arena with the honk honk honking, plus you don't want Wilson or Ovechkin running around trying to concuss one of our players.

But I'm not worried in a hockey sense about any of them.

Never has it mattered less.

Never has it mattered less.

yup unless we get crippled by injuried

The bruins should beat whoever they play in 5 games or less in Round 1

 

[NeelyDan]

I'll take the Isles, they're a complete mirage in terms of being competitive

Detroit and Buffalo are on dangerous up-swings, and Pitty and the caps are veteran clubs that can always go on an unexpected run

Florida is just....meh, I'd prolly take them after the isles

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Detroit, I think we would roll them.

 

[EverettMike]

Montreal.

Sabres scare the crap out of me...they will add some big names by March deadline. Goalie plus plus

Imagine being scared by the Sabres

Wishing to play a team in a round never ends good

 

[EverettMike]

Nothing we say here will impact what happens in any playoff round, game, period, or shift. So it's fine to say we will beat any opponent in three games because they'll forfeit before the fourth.

Wishing to play a team in a round never ends good

I wish they would combine the best players from all of these teams so we could close them out in game 5 on home ice.

Imagine being scared by the Sabres

I can remember when Buffalo was a legit threat.

 

[EverettMike]

The Bruins would only beat the 72 Soviets in six games, but they would do so without sending someone out to break the ankle of the Russians' best player. Otherwise they'd sweep them.

 

[RoccoF14]

Anybody but Buffalo.

I still get 1993 flashbacks.....

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Islanders.

No offense threat with Barzal out and a defense by committee.

Oddly Buffalo scares me the most, for the chance of Thompson and Dahlin going off plus they score a ton with depth

My first sports memory as a child.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Red Wings are probably the easiest, but none of them really worry me. Caps could probably pose the toughest challenge if they really get their act together and are healthy - they are still built more for playoff hockey provided they can find ways to slow the game down. But I don't see them as a proper threat.

Really the Bruins have no business losing in the first round. After that it gets much tougher.

I was at a high school grade 12 party with a house full of leaf fans when they blew it

it resulted in three separate all out fist fights - 2 of them between sets of leaf fans

You seem to find yourself in or around a lot of fights. Just saying…

This. I cheered for the the Bruins to play the Canes in 2009 and we know how that worked out. I won't ever do it again.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Any team.
