We have good luck playoff charm Pat Maroon...book the series win over the leafs

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

New season remember? You left out he was sent down on numerous times due to cap restrictions as well and when did Coyle become this shut down center all of sudden because he's not.

I don't recall mentioning Coyle at all.

Mine's Saturday I'm taking Dallas vs Carolina final

those are solid picks

 

[McGarnagle]

If I had to bet seriously I'd probably say Vegas over Carolina, but if the Bruins don't win I honestly don't care.

 

[22Brad Park]

Bruins need to be on the right side of puck battles this series and hit Leafs skill playeys often as they can.Cannot be getting caught out of position.Win the boards and front of net they win the series.

A friend fixed the spelling mistake, here is the corrected version.

We will have our answer in two weeks.


Lindholm is a lot better with McAvoy in my opinion. He moves his feet more. They will be on the ice against Matthews .

I don’t think it sounds ideal to have two of your better offensive D playing shut down roles. It would be better if Carlo and somebody else can do it

 

[caz16]

I LOVE the fact that Matthews had 12 shots on net last night and didn't get his 70th goal. Small things make me happy. I don't honestly know what to expect but the Leafs backed into the playoffs too.....so......the pressure is on them, not the Bruins.

If they don't make it past the first round, that core has to be done. It is the Bruins playing with house money this year. We lost so much talent and still ended up second in the Atlantic. Boston culture makes the difference, Leafs culture is rotten to the core.

Not gryz-carlo please... Do something else

no Gryz period please

 

[22Brad Park]

no Gryz period please

Rather him with McAvoy myself but whatever Monty decides will have to suffice He better not start playing spin the bottle like his last playoff series however

 

[xStanleyCupsFor]

I like what I heard from Maroon in that clip

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Well I for one must be getting old. It seems to me that it was just yesterday that we were talking about round one vs Florida last year.......and then it seems like yesterday that we had the season start......now we are talking about round one this year vs TO. Wow! Times does fly. Unfortunately when it does fly it runs into a bus or a wall and causes all kinds of havoc eh?????? Bahahahahhahhahhahaaa!!!!! Its good to laugh!

I still go with our goaltending vs their offence is what will be the difference. The team that wins the series will have won because they outscored us or Linus/Sway stole some games and came up big when they had to. Also what worked in the last 2 wins vs TO this year was very solid defense and capitalizing on their turnovers/mistakes. That will be big too. Either way I didn't think we had a playoff team this year so this is exciting to get round one going.

Let's go Bruins!!!

My favorite hockey related follow.

Gotta think both teams will be looking to reach four wins first.

I think the club that does will likely take the series.

Do you guys know who's starting in goal for game #1?

 

[goldenblack]

So with Beecher coming in, who is sitting between JVR and Lauko?

 

[22Brad Park]

So with Beecher coming in, who is sitting between JVR and Lauko?

Catch 22.Lauko is way faster and hits everything. JVR gets a goal here there and playoff experience..

Do you guys know who's starting in goal for game #1?

I will bet the house it's Ullmark

 

[neelynugs]

Sens fan coming here in peace. Going to theoretically dig out my old Bruins jersey from days gone by and join this Bruins train for the playoffs.

Hate the Leafs with a passion. Oh the level of bravado and circle jerking by Laff fans will be off the charts (and almost unbearable) should Toronto win up here. Boston you have to make this happen please!

while accomplishing literally nothing, they have become the league's douchiest fan base (and their media fan boys/girls are just as bad).
worse than the habs right now, but only because montreal sucks.

[lopey]

Looks likely Ullmark

 

[FrankerC]

Expecting the Bruins to win the series 4-2, but if they lose, at least we have the Red Sox to watch

 

[Hookslide]

Not just a rookie, but one that has been send back down multiple times this season and has the worst plus/minus on the team.

You are right about his plus/ minus, but I do feel that stat is not fair to him, remember he did pk and play 4th line not going to get a lot of points .Not trying to disagree with you but there times plus/ minus can be skewered .

 

[Hookslide]

I love Boqvist speed, but is that not asking a lot having JVR and Maroon on the same line.......
