Series Talk: ECSF: (1) Tampa Bay Lightning vs (2) Boston Bruins

[veganbruin]

I love being counted out by all of the media right now. I hope the players are listening. Anyone saying “we barely got past Toronto” is correct, but Toronto was the 3rd best team in the conference all season. NJ was easily the 8th. I can’t believe anyone with any journalistic integrity would publish something like that.

I'm calling Bruins in 5. I'm hopeful as I will be in Tampa for game 5 and hope we can close it out while I am there. I will be wearing my Bergeron jersey and cheering the boys on as loud as I can!

Bruins have also struggled against the Leafs the past few seasons, while giving Tampa fits.

Anyone here sit in Loge 2 usually? Looks like I'm close to Tampa for Game 1..hope my seats are good.

I believe Loge 2 is near the visiting bench.

Do you perhaps have a Bergeron #56 jersey? Because that would be cool

Then Marchand would have to be #44 so both their numbers still add up to 100 for 100%

The big difference here is that the Leafs were pretty soft, outside of Kadri and Polak. Tampa will bring it.

Not sure what to expect in this series I am just relieved the Leafs are gone . When all is said and done I really thought there wasn’t a whole lot of difference between Tampa , Boston and Toronto looking at the regular season ,overall . Rick Nash appeared to be getting his legs in the 2nd half of game 7 and I think he should play well in this series . I am just glad this series won’t have the drama the Leafs series had .

I think that benefits the Bruins too. Guys like McQuaid, Miller, Backes will enjoy that.

I think people are still in the mindset of the old playoff format. All top teams have an "easier" first round despite that format not being there anymore.

Not for me personally though . I work with a lot of Leaf fans .

Yep, that and most of my friends are either Leafs, Habs, or Canuck fans... It's bad thing.

By far best series of the first round

Okay-just gonna nitpick the opposing fans.

Once again the Bruins are being accused of being a one line team. Where does this come from? The Bruins have one really good line but the others are competitive and score too. Krejci and Debrusk were in the first round top 10 scorers.

I think this round is a toss up-goal tending and puck luck will come into play.

 

[BruinLVGA]

They can think whatever they want. The vibe I am getting from them is that they have it in the bag already. Glad that they think that their team is so much better than the Bruins.

You should know that these people need clicks. They constantly provoke for the comment. Believe me, their coach isn’t taking the Bruins lightly.

I’m pretty sure he isn’t. For one thing he knows his team lost 3 of 4 games and they weren’t flukes.

These teams are very evenly matched on paper and in stats.
