Speculation: Who do you want in Round 1?

[rfournier103]

Personally, I do not care.

Just win the series.

Just win the Cup.

That’s all I ask.

 

[EverettMike]

Considering an in his prime Gretzky wouldn't crack our top 9 I don't care who we play. (I do think you could upgrade our third D pair with a healthy Orr.)

 

[Kegs]

I wasn’t going to vote but then I seen a bunch of teams on the list that won’t make the playoffs so…..

 

[KillerMillerTime]

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.

Detroit for certain but I think Panthers if they are able to somehow navigate their cap issues and add say Chychrun will not be an easy out.

 

[Ladyfan]

It will be what it will be

As long as the Bs stay healthy they have a better than average chance of beating any team.

 

[The Laukomotive]

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

 

[Lordstanley]

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

Lol

Sabres lose again last night and they looked cooked.

The Penguins have found a bit of traction.

Feels like it’s down to the Islanders and Panthers for the 2nd WC.

 

[CDJ]

Washington. 0% chance it happens. I’d take the islanders

Stroking scares me on the Islanders looking at his #s against the Bruins. Yes auto-correct.

By the numbers at the time, Brock Nelson would be the biggest Bruins sleeper agent in that last playoff series between the two.

Nelson suddenly deciding to ignore being completely owned by the Bruins and turning into a scoring machine turned out to be somewhat vexing.

I like Nelson lol after watching him at the All - Star competition. He just seemed as if he 'was there' and didn't play into the antics. From what I saw at least.

12 year old me wanted to play the Giants in the LL playoffs. 12 year old me pitched 3 perfect innings, then played first base. In the 5th inning 12 year old me watched a giant launch a grand slam over the right fielders head (yes, should have been caught). 12 year old me lost 5-4.

53 year old me is too smart to list a team I want, because when you do, nothing good can come of it.

I didn’t think you were a fabric of the universe kind of guy Lou. You into crystals too?

 

[veganbruin]

I will abstain from voting here because this is a “be careful what you wish for” situation. Each team would pose different types of problems for Boston. I worry about the Islanders because I think that team is not all that different from the one that beat us 2 years ago. I worry about Pittsburgh because of the star power and a floppy Jarry. I worry about Buffalo and Ottawa because they are playing with house money and have both found ways to beat us this season.

hahahha not at all. I'm a child of the most high, but don't think sports matters much in the grand scheme of things, evidenced by my awful football and baseball teams.

I have no preference who they play, I think they roll to the conference finals in ten games or less, then a tough 6-7 gamer and then destroy the west in the cup.

 

[22Brad Park]

Honestly think Florida would be toughest matchup.I think easier road through NYI or Buffalo but as Lou said ,careful what you ask for.

 

[EverettMike]

I've been thinking about it, and the only way to make these playoffs both interesting and fair is to force the Bruins to win 6 games in a series to move on. Meanwhile, their opponent should only have to win 3.

Time the refs are done it will feel that way Mike

 

[DominicT]

I want Bedard but the Bruins dont have a pick in Round 1.

Oh, not that round 1?

I'm with Lou. Never, ever choose your opponent.

I don't 'hope' for any team because you need to be careful what you wish for...but I do prefer to avoid the Isles since they will be a battle no matter if it goes 4 games or 7.

I do hope for teams because my opinion means nothing whatsoever. I prefer to get the Isles in round 1 because they’re not good at all.
