This is a hard series to handicap.

I do know that just 3 weeks ago in a game Columbus needed to win ( it was their last home game ) the Bruins dominated.



Columbus is going to be rusty in Game 1 and I think the Bruins will win that, Game 2, however, might be the key :dunno:

There are 9 teams standing and EIGHT of them I can see winning the Cup (sorry Carolina). I can't fathom the Bruins taking Columbus lightly after how they dominated the Lightning.

Bottom line is the B's have more hockey to play.

I stayed away from this place because of all the negativity after game 5 but I never gave up hope. Quite a few of you guys should have to ask the real fans for your Bruins cards back.

@Mantis I know what you mean and it was frustrating to see a lot of longtime members of HF Bruins giving up after Game 5.

I attacked the negativity with the greatest jam band of all time - The Traveling Wilburys and we crunched out positive GDT's



I deliberately had breakfast in a Toronto diner that was used in a Leafs promo 2 years ago and used the hashtag

The people there mocked me.

But I kept the faith. :)

Their lines should look something like this:

Panarin-Dubois-Bjorkstrand
Dzingel-Duchene-Atkinson
Texier-Foligno-Anderson
Dubinsky-Jenner-Nash

Werenski-Jones
Kukan-Savard
Harrington-Clendening

Bobrovsky

With the way Columbus knocked Tampa out, and all the time they've had to rest, i'm worried. I would've liked Bergeron and other guys who are beat up to get som rest, but that's not happening now.

No choice. Go out there and get after them! I have always liked Columbus and hoped they would catch on and succeed sooner or later. I'm thrilled for them that they got this huge series win this year to start it off. That said, I want to see Boston get past them, and I think it's doable. It's just gonna take deep measures of grit and determination.

I think tonight's game Caps/Canes is an important one . If the Canes can knock out the Caps that would really be great as all the big teams would be eliminated as I hate when we play the Caps and Holtby. I like our chances so only 8 more W's until the finals. It may be wrong to think this far ahead but this is what makes the play-offs so great.

I, honestly, do not follow them at all. Consequently, I have zero idea about their D. Otherwise it is one solid lineup.

The amount of joy I feel right now is scary. I might need help.

Should be a good one. Hopefully we have some more time and space compared to facing Toronto. Feels good to have depth production!

My main concern for this series is rest. They got a crap ton and we aren't getting any. Bergeron is definitely dealing with something (I think it might be a groin injury) and DeBrusk has seemed off since Kadri's bullshit.

At the same time I do think this is a better match up. For one I think Chara will be a LOT more effective. He was f***ing horrific against the Leafs. Columbus plays a much heavier game that I think Chara will respond well too. Carlo also.

Bobrovsky is going to be the key. If he plays at the top of his game there isn't a whole lot you can do - best goalie around IMO. But once his confidence is knocked he can't stop a beachball. Drive the net hard immediately and try and get him rattled.

Should be a fun series. I don't hate these guys so I might enjoy the series more lol.

I will be wearing my lucky pajamas!

Bruins in 6 is my pick.

Roll the same lines at least for tomorrow then re-evaluate.

We need Carolina to win so they can get a 2 day break next week

wish we had a few more days between series for the boys to rest. Plus I have junior national honor society induction ceremony tomorrow night for my daughter with a start time same as puck drop. going to have to be on media blackout until I can get home and watch. I will miss out on the GDT unless I can catch up but no idea how long the ceremony is.

It’s going to be a tougher series than some are giving it. Wish we had a little more rest, but it is what it is. This goes at least 6. Most likely 7. I think the Bruins will come out on top though.

Go Bruins!!!

Miller vs McQuaid?



Jk I think McQuaid would wreck him but ya we could definitely use him.

Gonna be weird hearin McQuaids name again.

Edit: did not realize McQuaid has not even played these playoffs.
