I have a feeling about this one.
We have very little optimism left in these forums...
FWIW:
The LA Kings lost 5 of their last 8 heading in to the playoffs last year.
Bruins were a mere 8-10 in their final 18 games in 2011. (3-3 in their final 6).
Blackhawks lost 7 of 9 before going 6-1 in their final 7 in 2010.
Small sample size, but hey, momentum doesn't necessarily mean everything. Just ride these last few games out, make sure everybody is healthy, and get ready for (hopefully) a long playoff run.
Tampa played Toronto at home last night. Travel to Boston. Out of playoffs. No excuses for anything less than a good effort. We haven't played a game since Sunday. I'm not counting that going thru the motions effort in Philly as a game.
Lets do the math;
Tampa 2 guys in top 3 for scoreing
Bruins 0 guys in the top 20 for scoreing
Goaltending
Bruins; Big edge here
Tampa; Bruins make other goalies look like vezina winners
Lets go BRUINS
This is the type of team they have to beat.!
