[BigBadBruins7708]

Now do after 2013 which was my point. Regular season too. Would have been the perfect 2C behind Bergeron.

Post 2013:

Krejci: 14-41-55 in 79
Seguin: 17-30-47 in 84

0.70 PPG for Krejci to 0.56 for Seguin

edit: regular season post 2013 a declining Krejci put up 0.78 to prime Seguin's 0.87

BRUINS BACK AGANIST THE WALL AT HOME
Time again to put up or shut up to get this tied and not to have Fla celebrate two years in a row on Home ICE

I literally think about it every 4th of July.

I was in the pool! I was having a great day!

Hahaha i was heading to a beach in Hilton Head. Heard that Seguin was traded and my first thought was a very excited “has to be Loui coming back”

that bubble burst very quickly

 

[Bruinfanatic]

This is where I wanted to be the morning of a do-or-die Game 6: reliving the Seguin trade.

A little early for a bleachtini, but I think I'll have two.

Hey my only question was how the Bruins got Pasta and MvAvoy

Exactly ,and if you lose 3 games at home in a series you don’t deserve to advance .

Much like losing 4 games in a series.

 

[Barnum]

Such silliness.

The Bruins are the favourite tonight.

FTFY

 

[EverettMike]

So, let’s get this thread back on track.

How do you think the Bruins will do tonight?

I literally have no idea. They have the best player on the ice in the single most important position, and when you have "the goalie" you can beat literally anyone. This is the Jim Craig Corollary.

But it's still probably 50/50 at best, and over 5 games the Panther have pretty easily outplayed the Bs. Boston was good in game 5 and I thought Florida looked flat, so I expect things to settle somewhere between those two extremes.

I know it's a cop out, but I have no prediction.

 

[Ladyfan]

Was Ladyfan at game 7 vs the Blues?

I'm trying to find a silver lining here!

yes. I was there.

Though it shouldn't be this way, both teams have seemed to be under pressure at home and neither has handled it well.

 

[DaStinger]

This will likely be the hardest of them all, find a way.

 

[troubbble]

Assuming Marchand is back in tonight, I'm hoping he provides a spark and everyone rallies around him with some much-needed extra energy and grit.

Still convinced the challenge is 80% mental for this team. Play hard, fast and without fear and we could easily have another performance like Game 1 and shift most of the pressure back onto the Panthers for a change.

 

[HockeyMomx2]

No GDT. I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. Sorry @Fenway

Oh no. Feel better!

 

[UConn126]

I’m missing something here how did the Bruins get McAvoy and Pasternak for Seguin don’t remember him getting traded for picks ,he went with Peverly and can’t remember the others for Loui Eriksson, Reilly Smith, Matt Fraser and Joe Morrow.So how did that turn into Pasta and MCAvoy.

It didn't directly get us those two, and I suppose Pasta could've been had regardless (I always forget how late he was picked), but the team sucking for a couple years, largely influenced by getting a crap return for a franchise center, lead to us missing the playoffs thus getting the chance to draft McAvoy.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

The team playing with the lead will win, NHL nonsense aside. Be the team with the lead.

Franchise center? Seguin isn't even the franchise center on Dallas, Benn is. Do we really think he was going to be a franchise center on a team with Bergeron and Krejci?

 

[BTO]

The point if this team shows-up then they have a perfectly reasonable chance of beating Florida, especially with our goaltending. It’s not a case of if they show-up they win, but of if they show-up they a good chance of winning, especially with our goaltending. The question is will they show-up. I’ve never seen a team shoot itself in the foot as much as the Bruins. So shoot on net instead. Go Bruins!!!!

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

They ban a cowbell?

Yep, no artificial noise makers

That wasn't Loui's fault though. Those concussions did him in

You may be using the term "show-up" too casually.

Not a term used very often in the playoffs.

That was his potential when he was drafted. He's been an underachiever IMO both here & in Dallas when you consider his talent.

 

[ODAAT]

haven`t seen it nearly enough this post season, but would love for the boys to play with focus and fire some pucks at Bob early. All pressure on the Panthers, they are the team viewed as a serious cup contender, not our boys, so play focused, don`t grip the sticks

 

[whatsbruin]

The panthers may have a bit more overall talent, but the B's have better goaltending, and there are certain players who haven't really woke up yet

..maybe they will wake up tomorrow

..and Sunday!

I'd like to think these players would wake up, but the sample size is getting bigger and bigger, and may be a true representation of who they really are.
