Justin make me proud
All I want to point out too, is that from this point on in the playoffs, experience is INVALUABLE.
Seguin sat a good chunk of the 2011 playoffs run to the cup. It's no concern. And I'm sure he grew better from this experience.
And when he was inserted in the line-up, he gave them some good production. Right now, Galchenyuk shouldn't be inserted in the line-up. It would be unfair to the group of forwards who brought us to the next round. Give Galchenyuk a couple of practices with the team like they did with Moen although this time they don't have the luxury of having 10 days off... Galchenyuk performed really well in the playoffs last year and obviously he's one of our most skilled forward.
If we were to take someone out of the line-up it would probably be Bourque unless Prust is done physically. Like someone mentioned above me, Bourque hasn't been bad but he's been cold offensively (which isn't a surprise since he is what he is). Prust will have a huge chip on his shoulder against his former team and we need some grit. If we take out Prust then that leaves us with little toughness/grit. Anyway if we keep winning or losing in close games, I doubt we see any changes. You don't wanna affect the chemistry these lines have in a negative way and you know sitting Bourque could have a bad effect (or a positive one) considering his motivation problems. His reasoning could be: ''I score some big goals in round 1 and they play this rookie who hasn't played in weeks over me. WTF.'' Or he could come back more hungry. Anyway we saw Bournival with Eller and Gionta at one point last game and they had some nice chemistry and put great pressure in the Bruins' end.
