Really going to need the 3rd line for the Bs to show up this series. Arguably the biggest disparity in talent is the islanders 3rd line compared to the bruins third line.
Welcome to the nut house !Long time lurker / first time poster. Olczyk mentioned a day or two ago on NHLN that he’s doing the West next round if Vegas wins and the East if they lose.
to the lunatic fringe, it’s one big dysfunctional family in here most daysLong time lurker / first time poster. Olczyk mentioned a day or two ago on NHLN that he’s doing the West next round if Vegas wins and the East if they lose.
So win or lose game 1, the B's are good.Some general game 1 history stats that I thought I'd share:
Historically, in 7-game series, the winner of game 1 goes on to win the series 68.9% of the time (over 718 total series). However, in recent years for the Bruins (since 2008), the winner of game 1 has only gone on to win the series 46% of the time (over 26 series).
The Bruins are 16-10 in game 1s since 2008. When they win, they went on to win the series 9 of the 16 times. When they lose game 1, they rebounded to win the series 7 of 10 times. In round 2 - game 1s, the Bruins are 7-1 overall since 2008 (only loss 2014 vs MTL).

Sometimes you have to play the long troll act/routine. The past few days there have had too many has been Shitsburgh and Crap cry babies interrupting those threads to target the Isles posters.The lovey-dovey hug it out vibes from Bruins fans on the main boards is very disappointing. Very NBA-esque. Seems like I’m in the minority in thinking this series won’t be that close, oh well. Judging by Wagner’s comments yesterday, sounds like the boys are pumped for a near-full garden. They’ll build off of that, probably the only blowout game 5-2 B’s.
Who do you regard to be the 6 most talented players between both teams?
Curious what the Bruins / TD Garden do. They kept passing the buck and blaming the NHL in the emails.
Game 2 will be 7:30 on Monday on NBCSN. Should be announced tonight.
Ya gotta think Swayman is coming in.Tuukka Rask:

Following a win in the playoffs since 2018-19 (16 games)

Last 13 starts vs the Islanders
9-2-1 ; 1.28 GAA ; .950 Sv% ; 2 Shutouts
^ I wonder how many goalies have those type of numbers against one team over a 10+ game stretch...?
