I think this is a pretty solid team.
First line is more or less the same as the first line that brought the B's to within two games of a cup, with Krejci replaced by Kesler, who centers Lucic and Marchand.
Second line is a very big, physical, defensively responsible line that can score more than it's fair share of goals, with Bergeron centering Staal and Byfuglien.
Third line is a pain in the ass: Peverley, Talbot, and Shaw are all great pests who have a knack for scoring clutch goals in the playoffs.
Fourth line is a fourth line.
On defence, the Bruins are better than they were in the playoffs.
Chara and Bieksa makes up one of, if not THE, best pairings in this game, responsible defensively and efficient offensively.
Leddy and Daley is a pairing combining speed and puck movement with defensive prowess.
McQuaid and Boychuk reunites (I think) one of the best pairings from the Bruins playoff run.
Rask is God.
Khabi was God.
