I am very sad to see I lost but I am proud to say that our series was one of two decided by 1 vote. 8-6 yes but and 1 person switched it would have been 7-7. We are disappointed to not win the Cup but are glad to see our young roster made people think about their choice against a very potent roster in Chicago.

Good Luck If I were to lose I would hope it was to the eventual Cup winner!!

Happy to make it out of round 1, but now face a stiff test in the rebuilt Buffalo Sabres.

The Sabres had a major roster overhaul, bringing in some major names like Patrick Kane, Jordan Staal, goaltender Nicklas Backstrom and Keith Yandle to name a few. They have a solid offense and a very, very deep defense. Their goaltending took a step back, but remains very good as well.

What I do think they lacked before, and still lack now, is size and grit. Which is the bread and butter of the Boston Bruins. There's a ton of jam and moxy throughout our line up, and ultimately, I see us wearing down the smaller club.

Looking forward to a great series.

[KarlssonsGroin]

are very happy to have made it out of round 1. we feel are forward depth is the best in the league, and our defence is still solid, meaning we will not give up weak goals. vokoun has filled in perfectly for niemi, and gives us a chance to win each night.

we feel are forwards are better then chicago, our defence as well. they may have better goaltending, but even he cant stop the 50 shot barrage we're going to throw at him each night.

we look forward to a great series with chicago, in what will undoubtably be the closest series in round 2

We are extremely excited to make it to the 2nd round of the playoffs. Was a series that could go either way with Philadelphia. Thank you to everybody who voted for me!

We are now ready and focused on our matchup with the Pittsburgh Penguins. We feel we have the right group of guys with Veteran leadership, grit, youth, and great defense. We know Pittsburgh is a strong team, but we feel like we have the team that can upset them and give them a run for their money.

We like this challange and hope we can move on to the next round and continue our strong run for the cup.

Well in all honesty thats the only thing I don't like about these games, just you compare star players. In reality its guys like 3rd and 4th lines who shine in the playoffs and step up.

Sucks but I knew I probably didnt have a chance every is like "LOVE MALKIN CROSBY"

Cooke - Hanzal - Kennedy
Tangradi - Jeffrey - Vitale

I think I have quite an awesome bottom six myself.

Honestly, your team is solid, but you think way too highly of your bottom six. That third line is great because of Hanzal, but Cooke is a fourth liner and your entire fourth line consists of inexperienced young players. Tangradi has played a whopping 40 NHL games with just 5 career points, Vitale has played 77 games with 16 career points, and Jeffrey has played 66 games with 21 career points. How is that a good fourth line?

I don't think the point of a fourth line is to score points, it's more used as a line to give your front three a break. Also, Cooke got 19 goals and 19 assists for 38 points... How does that make him a "Fourth liner"?

And regardless of inexperience, they're still very solid defensively, which is all I really need.

Outside of Cooke/Hanzal. None of them are that great defensively. Especially with the Pens system in place to push for offensive input. Got to agree with glasgow. That said, you definitely take FLA.

I guess an argument can be made for Cooke being more than a fourth liner. He's surpassed the 30-point mark a few times so I guess you can call him a third liner. But still, I don't think your fourth line is good at all. Top three lines are solid, defense is pretty good, goaltending is good. You'll probably end up making the SCF. I just think you're overhyping your fourth line and their defensive play.

Easy match up for the ECF.

 

[KarlssonsGroin]

very disapointed we didnt make the ECF. although, im more surprised boston didnt. buffalo is great and all, but boston had a SCF team.

just a thought, if chicago beat us 11-5, and beat colorado 8-6, does that mean people liked colorado more then my team, even though people ranked mine higher?

we feel we have built a great team that will contend for years to come.
