That’s not how it works.

Bruins get 4th seed, they will play either the Penguins or the Canes.

Which even still is better than drawing the Islanders or Toronto.

Although opponent means nothing if you're playing with your head lodged up your butthole

Almost zero chance to get the winner of Tor/Clb.

Bruins would need to get the 3rd seed, Mtl need to close the Pens and Florida has to become the 2nd team ever to win a best of 5 after losing the first two games (55-1). Very very slim chance.

It will be either Pit, Car or NYI in round 1.

Since i don’t see them pulling off the miracle of beating Washington this weekend, Canes it is!

I’m ok with that

This is assuming Pitt comes back and beats MTL though.

did i read things wrong then?

i am assuming Boston finishes as the 4, which means in the first round the play the highest possible seed. Currently Carolina sits at 6 and Pens at 5. If Montreal beats Pitt (Lol) then Carolina is the highest qualifier.

No. He assumes that Pitt will lose.

If Bos lose to Wsh and end up in 4th, they will play Pitt if they come back or Canes if they don’t.

With the Penguins needing to beat Price 2 games in a row to move on, and the Bruins most likely facing their kryptonite Braeden Holtby in the final round robin game, I'd put the Bruins facing the red hot 'Canes in Round 1 at almost certainty.

As of now, it would likely end like this:

Habs vs TB
Tor vs Wsh
NYI vs Phi
Car vs Bos

Ways Bruins can get the 3 seed:

- WSH loses to PHI in regulation, BOS beats WSH in any fashion
- WSH loses to PHI in OT/SO, BOS beats WSH in regulation
- PHI loses in regulation to WSH and TBL, BOS beats WSH in any fashion

Any other combo and Bruins get the 4 seed.

Playoff opponents if 4 seed:

- PIT if PIT beats MTL
- CAR if MTL beats PIT

Playoff opponents if 3 seed:

- CAR if PIT beats MTL
- NYI if: MTL beats PIT, NYI beats FLA
- TOR if: MTL beats PIT, FLA beats NYI, TOR beats CLB
- CLB if: MTL beats PIT, FLA beats NYI, CLB beats TOR

Habs win two games and you'd think they won the cup with all the buzz in Montreal today.

Not surprising considering this is the same fan-base that loses their minds with a 1st round victory. I guess when you've been the most middle-of-the-road franchise of the past quarter century, doesn't take much to get the fans excited.

Can't wait till those losers burn cars over a "Play In" preliminary round win. Because you know they are going to.
