When healthy. Definitely
I gotta say, watching that game: the Bruins are in Stamkos' head. He played terribly and could have been called for three penalties. I think he's intimidated
I think the Bruins are in their heads kind of like the Caps and Holtby are in the Bruins.I gotta say, watching that game: the Bruins are in Stamkos' head. He played terribly and could have been called for three penalties. I think he's intimidated
Assuming both teams play each other in the 2nd round.I don’t know if they are better but they were a team I didn’t have much confidence that the Bruins could defeat in the 2nd round . Last night’s win certainly has made me much more hopeful. The Bruins appear to be just as fast ( if not faster ) and are a lot more physical. Both Hedman and Stamkos are highly skilled , obviously but don’t appear to be speed demons , I think the Bruins can get in there faces and make life difficult for them .

God, why are Leafs fans the most insufferable bunch of people around here? Like, what's the point of dropping by our board to post this?

I've said it before, Leafs fans anticipating the playoffs are like a young puppy in a new home. All scrambling and sliding around, not knowing where to go or how to act, and more likely than not they end up peeing on the floor.
The team to beat in the East? Really? When we beat Washington ONCE call me. They still own the Bruins the way the Bruins own the Penguins. You can't convince me we beat them in a 7 game series. Other teams are making Holtby look like garbage...but the Bruins make him look like Dryden. Convincingly beat them, then I will be on board.
The Bruins haven't had the chance to play Holtby since his season went to ****. That doesn't mean they aren't the team to beat. Especially since there's a good chance they don't have to face Washington at all
