I'm not counting on Boston fading. I hope they do but other than Chara, they're not that old yet and they have some good young players too. Looks like a well balanced, experienced and quite frankly scary team to me. It seems like ever since we signed Tavares so many just assume that it's us and TB and Boston is an afterthought and I just don't see it that way at all. Maybe their age makes it unlikely that they survive a two month grind to go all the way but yeah, not a team I want to play in the first round or two.
What was lucky about that streak? I give them full credit for being consistent and playing well when so many here here predicting that they'd come back to earth at any moment.
