Definitely watching this game not sober this time... too bad my buddy moved upstate because we used to do shots for every goal. I remember one of those Toronto games nearly killed us.

Bruce Cassidy adjusts Bruins defense, putting Hampus Lindholm with Brandon Carlo - The Boston Globe
Matt Grzelcyk will rejoin Charlie McAvoy after the No. 2 pairing "had a bit of a challenging night" in Game 1.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy went into Monday’s playoff opener concerned less with what kind of tone the game would set and more with the adjustments that would ultimately come out of it.
Following a 5-1 loss in which the Matt Grzelcyk-Brandon Carlo pair struggled, Cassidy made his first move. Hampus Lindholm practiced with Carlo, and Grzelcyk skated with Charlie McAvoy in Tuesday’s practice.
Lindholm, who missed time with a lower-body injury toward the end of the regular season, and McAvoy played 15:51 together at even strength in Game 1. McAvoy’s work behind the net helped create the Bruins’ only goal, a Taylor Hall shot from out high that made it 2-1. With that pair on the ice, the Bruins outshot the Hurricanes, 8-3.
Grzelcyk and Carlo, meanwhile, were on the ice when Carolina scored to make it 2-0 and 3-1. On the first, Carlo couldn’t close on a puck-carrier in the corner, and Grzelcyk couldn’t affect Jordan Staal in front of the net when Nino Niederreiter’s shot got through. On the latter, a failed Grzelcyk pinch led to Teuvo Teravainen and Vincent Trocheck breaking the other way.
“I just thought Grizz and Carlo had a bit of a challenging night,” Cassidy said. “So we talked about using Lindholm with Carlo at times as well.”
Even though McAvoy and Lindholm won’t be on the top pairing, Cassidy said they’ll still end up on the ice together during the game.

When the latter happens, hopefully McAvoy buries that golden opportunity Lindholm put on a tee for him that would have completely changed game 1.Bruce Cassidy adjusts Bruins defense, putting Hampus Lindholm with Brandon Carlo - The Boston Globe

Need playoff worthy intensity and physicality which was absent from game 1. In all other series, teams battling for their playoff lives, throwing with reckless abandon. Seemed like just another regular season game on Monday for the Bruins. Need to take it up several notches, up and down the lineup. Coyle needs to rebound from an atrocious game 1, 11 needs to grind, only 12 on that line showed up on Monday. Hall had the best game out of all Bruins forwards. Looks like he's the only one of the big 4 that is not banged up.

If they lose tonight the series is not over.
Carolina will still need to win two more games.

Usually an optimist but I have to disagree here
Going to be really tough winning 4/5 against these guys.
Of course, if that were to happen, it wouldn’t shock me at all to see the bruins go on a run after that

That’s true. Gotta have the attitude to get there. Recchi used to park his ass down there in a much tougher league.
They either want to or don’t.

Taylor Hall's wrist shot from the slot was automatically merged with the post at 4:57 of the third period
Hope there’s no OT!I rode the spin bike for the first period of Game 1 and they played well.....then on the couch for periods 2 and 3...... if only I rode the spin bike all 3 periods we would have won! lol ... I'm carb loading right now to try tonightGo Bs! We got this! Pasta with 2 tonight including the GWG in honour of my carb loading ....
Hopefully Bergy and Marchand watched Crosby and Malkin last night and get inspired to lead the team to victory

Oh, yeah for sure if Carolina wins tonight they will definitely win two more games.
I wasn't being optimistic. I was speaking technically.

So are we making any changes to the line up or game strategy? Or just running the same plan as last time?
Even if Linus stand on his head, if it's a loss you have to give Swayman a go... Changing goalies wakes up the team and you never know which one is better if you don't try both. For me goalie carrying game means that you actually steal a win because your goalie played so well. It does happen.
Changed the top 2 D pairs and everything remains the same. Carolina sticking with the same line up

Just curious, how does this series make you feel?
Do you still follow the Hurricanes after their trasfer from Hartford, or did that love die in 1997?
As always being a Bruins fan I don't know how it would affect me if the team moved, and if I would follow them.
If they lose it will depend how they lose. If its 3-2 OT and play is tilted to Carolina, I doubt you see Swayman.
I’ll start to worry when they lose a home game.
p***y footing around the creases has gotta stop though
no that would be #48 simply put not a d-man you can have in your top six and think you can win a playoff game

They're 0 for 4 against the Canes this year and out scored 21-2.
I've started worrying.
