I can't bring myself to pull for the Habs. I've tried in the past, when a Habs win was in the Bruins best interest, and I always find myself cheering when the opposing team scores and groaning when the Habs score.
I guess you can take the fan out of the rivalry but you can't take the rivalry out if the fan.

Including Dave Poulin, he gives the Bruins no credit at all and you can see he really does not like them, even though he once played for us. Can't wait to hear and see his reaction to the Bruins winning this series without Rask and Pasta for most of the series.

Woo!! Great to put the series away at the first opportunity. The Canes outworked the Bruins for most of the first 2 periods, and almost forechecked them out of their socks. But the Bs again hung tough and were pretty strong on D, and then made the most of their PP opportunities. A workmanlike, un-pretty win, but they all count. They closed the game out well.
Halak bounced back and had a great game. The one shot that got past him was unstoppable. He looked sharp and hopefully he can bring that form against the Bolts. Krejci was good again, and I thought this was possibly Bergy's best game so far in the bubble. Was very involved, obviously scored the GWG, and made a number of crucial little plays. Krug and Carlo also looked better than they have for quite some time.
5v5 play and scoring are still issues, and they'll need to be better at even strength to match it with Tampa. But they've given themselves that opportunity, without wasting too much energy, and you can sense that the team is definitely on the upswing and continuing to improve. Bring on the Lightning, will be tough but the Bruins have a great chance. On we go!!!!

Selfishly I’m very excited for the next round schedule to come out.
As a late August baby the thought of a playoff game on birthday - or any Bruins game - is awesome.

I just don't see it with Slavin, and I'd consider myself a pretty decent evaluator of talent. Unless he plays several levels higher than he does when it isn't against us, he doesn't seem to do... well anything particularly good.
McAvoy consistently is a higher impact player, yet this dude is rated top 10 nearly universally in defenseman.
On another note, nice to get the 4-1 series win, Halak was good today, bring on Tampa or whoever.

Kinda silly to throw around word 'underrated' but Krejci is def one of the most underrated NHLers
Thanks, my 9 year old grandson said that he didn't come back so I was really concerned with how he was. Hopefully with his history he won't have any affect from the hit but you never know.

Slavin was really bad this series. I do think he's great overall, but he absolutely did not show it in this series.
Also, McAvoy was the best player in this series, bar none.

I still want to know how I can get people to use my full name to address me. Hell throw in the middle name too just to be extra annoying and pretentious.
PS, he has an extremely punchable face.
That's right can't stand him, he is as bad as Glenn Healy was, the most biased media ever in the NHL, glad CBC got rid of him.

Only d-man I've thought has had a higher impact than McAvoy in a series dating back to last playoffs was Seth Jones, possibly one of the Blues guys but even then meh. I'm sure he must be good against teams that aren't us, I just rarely see it.
he’s a bum
don’t care how good he looks or numbers he puts up
he was and will never be a guy I want to go to war with in a playoff series when it’s gut check time

Hey me too! August babies are the best babies.
My mom said so. Or I did. And said it was her. To my brothers not born in August.

I've certainly never seen a D-man have more of an impact than McAvoy did this series, in terms of series I've watched enough of to draw conclusions from. Chara and Seids back in the day worked so well as a tandem, but McAvoy was just an absolute force in all phases of the game. They used him with Chara and Grz, he played way more than everyone so he dictated things on his own merit. This was his worst game today, and he still had a goal-saving block.
