Islanders and Panthers really shit the bed.

S’pose that’s why they play the games.

Panthers can score but defensively and goaltending seems like a strong weakness

Islanders are a "boring" team but can grind you out and Sorokin is probably a top 3 goalie in the league, he can definitely steal some games.

Pittsburgh just has the Crosby factor which I guess can give them a run but I have my doubts with their weaker depth and goaltending .

Buffalo is a wild guess. Levi seems strong but would you exploit him or would we make him look like Roy/Broderick? Besides that I think we can take them fairly easily.

Playoff tune up wise Islanders/Panthers probably give us the best playoff tempo type game and Pittsburgh would be an "easier" first round

Maple Leafs’ goalie situation remains a mystery ahead of Lightning game – Sportsnet.ca

 

[Ludwig Fell Down]

None of the potential first round opponents concern me. The two teams that I think could beat the Bruins in 7 games are the Canes, and -- yes, I'm gonna say it -- the Leafs. Samsonov is playing well and I think the Bolts are cooked. I don't think the Rags match up well with the B's.

 

[ShiftyNifty16]

Buffalo and the Pens both losing tonight. Nobody wants those last two spots.

 

[Ludwig Fell Down]

I just discovered that the Devils have never had a 100 point player in franchise history. I know they were known for their trapping and defense in their heyday, but I would have bet a hundo that Patrick Elias, John MacLean, or Kirk Muller would have hit that mark once.

People our scared of this pens team

Who’s losing 3-1 to Chicago in a must win game hahaha

 

[Fossy21]

Penguins doing their best to choke away a gifted wild card spot, lmao.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Penguins doing their best to choke away a gifted wild card spot, lmao.

Their 3rd power play in a row coming up .

 

[quietbruinfan]

I think we will play the Pens. If they manage to lose to the Hawks in Pittsburgh, I wonder if they might want to play us.

Florida about to clinch a playoff spot

 

[Fossy21]

Their 3rd power play in a row coming up .

It's not for naught they have the most favourable net penalties statistic of any franchise. 934 more PP's than penalties (Montreal are second at +858, but also have 6949 games played compared to Pittsburgh's 4333). Bruins are -570.

 

[PatriceBergeron]

Jesus Pittsburgh how do you lose this game at home

 

[JRull86]

I'd be apoplectic if I was a CHI fan right now.

You've made it this far being a bag of shit all season, just to blow it now.

 

[13Hockey]

Florida Panthers have clinched a playoff spot

Islanders win or OTL at home tomorrow vs Montreal they clinch

 

[PatriceBergeron]

Panthers or Islanders it is

 

[The Laukomotive]

Imagine losing a must win game at home against the worst team in the league playing its second game in as many nights.

That's what the Penguins did.

 

[Bridges31]

Hahaha suck it pens.

 

[BlackFrancis]

Wow, the leafs fans are puffed up and crowing about a throwaway late season game against their 1st round opponent.

Totally didn't see that coming.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Epic choke job by the Pens tonight.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Panthers going into the playoffs riding white hot Alex Lyon was not on my bingo card. Hamburglar 2.0. If they face us, hopefully it ends the same way.

 

[22Brad Park]

Epic choke job by the Pens tonight.

Bruins have never been NYI in a series. I expect a battle early .

 

[JRull86]

Wow, the leafs fans are puffed up and crowing about a throwaway late season game against their 1st round opponent.

Totally didn't see that coming.

To be fair, this is probably their best shot at winning a round. TB has looked gassed for a month.
