Beat em 2 out of 3 after they made all those changes.... important to win game 1 and hope that the rust outweighs the rest for CBJ. Bob has never been that good against us. Going to be a different series for sure... but I do like the matchup... I think the Bruins need to play their game and let CBJ try to adapt to beat us versus the other way around

CBJ is a total wild card - could be anything from a blow out either way to a tight 7 game series.
Love that they went all in, snuck in and rolled over the Bolts.

For everyone that was surprised ( me included) that we were outhit by the Leafs ... prepare to be outhit
This will be a great series. For them to sweep Tampa, they're for real. I think we match up better against them and we'll be able to dictate the pace a bit better than we could against the Leafs. We were playing more of their game, we have to play our game from here on out.
Bruins in 6 but it'll be some great hockey. Columbus is a fun team to watch and they definitely have a chip on their shoulder.

Yes the Blue Jackets are rested. On the other hand, they haven't played.
Different sports I know but I remember the 07 World Series- Colorado had blown by everybody and then had to wait for the Sox to win the ALCS. We all know what happened next. Waiting/resting cost Colorado its edge. It could happen to the Blue Jackets, who have never been here before.
Bruins in 6 at the most.

Hard to believe it's been 6 years since that series. I actually ran into Torts on Causeway Street the morning of one of the games and asked if I could get a pic with him. He just laughed at me and said "not with that thing on" (I was wearing a Bs windbreaker) and kept on walking towards the Garden. He's not everyone's cup of tea, but I think he's hilarious.

I think the Bruins win this in 6. I think it’s a better match up than Toronto. The only thing that scares me about them is they’re big and have some heavy horses up front that can cause problems for the defense.
I like our skill level a lot more, though.

Gavrikov just came over from Russia (like, literally after we beat Tampa). Led the KHL in plus-minus this season at +48. Really talented, but obviously a huge risk to insert him into the lineup with literally no NHL experience.
Think it should be a fun, physical series. Looking forward to it.
Does Backes/Wagner draw back in for this series? Kuhlman out and who else though? Nordy was awesome in the Leafs series. Acciari was great
I'd go:
Marshy-Bergy-Pasta
Debrusk-Krejci-Mojo
Heinen-Coyle-Backes
Nordstrom-Kuraly-Acciari

I'd dress one of Wagner/Backes over Nordstrom, but not Kuhlman to start. This isn't a knock on Nordy either, he was great last night.
Hasn't show up on the stat sheet, but Kuhlman's speed really helped the Bruins open the Leafs up a little bit in games 6 and 7.
CBJ plays that heavy game, so I think having another body who can hit on that 4th line would be helpful.

It's an interesting series from a number of perspectives.
Columbus has had a week+ off. How rusty are they? Assuming they were on a hot streak against Tampa, will they be able to keep it up?
These teams have played 3 times in the last month of the season, but they also don't know each other as well as Toronto and Boston did. Columbus has been prepping for the Bruins for a week. How much will that help them?
I could see the series going any number of ways, whereas I thought we were almost guaranteed 7 games with Toronto.
One of the things with the Toronto series was that I didn't think there was much hate once Kadri was out. There were a few moments, but not much overall. I think with Columbus' style of play, there's going to be a lot of hate in this series, which usually brings out the Bruins' best.

Rask is going to roll, I can feel it.
Also, Columbus only had 12 fights this season, shocked me. They do like to hit though. Should be a really tough fought series.

Gotta build that stupid cannon into it somehow. I have more hatred for that than anyone on the team.
