Mad Mike says we lose in the first round. That means we going at least to the third round.

Milbury doesn't see Bruins getting out of first round

Although the Bruins have been winning as of late, Mike Milbury is still not buying that they are a Stanley Cup contender.

"I still don't think they're getting out of the first round of the playoffs," said Milbury on Cross Check. "I'm glad they're playing better. They're much more fun to watch. The energy level, confidence level is there."

Who cares, seems like Milbury rarely has anything positive to sat about the Bruins.

Milbury doesn't see Bruins getting out of first round

The last time I listened to anything Mike Milbury had to say, he was beating some guy with his own shoe

 

[Artemis]

Milbury wants to be the next Don Cherry. Reasoned analysis isn't the way to do so. Being loud and obnoxious is.

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

Time to start planning the parade

 

[BMC]

Well a stopped clock is right twice a day....

 

[robert terwilliger]

milbury can't see anything but the inside of his own ass.

 

[DKH]

I am confident the goalie will play well even against Montreal and the forwards will be good- but can the defense move the puck? transition and team speed are the issues in a track meet

Rangers have a very good defense, Boston matches up well in net and forward- Rangers

Habs- Price and Tuukka play equal I'll take Boston- Habs are overrated but Price isnt- Habs but not feeling that confident

Tampa- team speed may be to much for Boston- like the Bolts here but again, Rask can outplay Bishop more times than not- Tampa

Detroit- like Boston here

Islanders- like Boston here

Capitals- like Boston

Pittsburgh- toss up

faster the team, better the defense the worse it is for Boston

good guy milbury sacrificing his own reputation in order to give his hometown Bruins some much-needed bulletin board material.

 

[rocketdan9]

He is hoping. So Clode gets fired and he gets another shot at coaching the Bruins

That's because he wants clode canned so he can get the job

No, he want's Chia's job to avenge his Islanders days..

He really should stuff a sock in it.

 

[Trap Jesus]

I like the Bruins vs. everyone except Montreal. Pittsburgh would be the next toughest because they have a coach that can actually take advantage of our D with Crosby/Malkin now. Rangers are a great team but the Bruins match up pretty well against them I think.

Well he said he'd "seriously consider coaching the Bruins again"

If Milbury every came back as GM or Coach, how many days would it take for the IT gurus at HFBoards to repair the damage of the meltdown in this forum?

I'd give it a week

I see us being eliminated by Montreal no doubt and tough sledding against the rags. I like our chances against the rest in the east even though all (most likely )will go 7 games.

Old Mike confuses me. Played with a pretty nasty edge and threw the occasional nutty (shoe-stands-magic). Then when he coached the Bruins he went all pacifist.

 

[Scotto74]

He is a Tool

Last nights game was notable because it looked like Tampa was playing the kind of structured defense that the Bruins used to play, whereas the Bruins were playing with fire all night.

Team defense is what wins playoff series. Based on what Ive seen this year, I agree with Milbury that they are probably going to get bounced by Lightning or Rangers in the 1st round: those teams are stacked. Habs are maybe less of a threat

That doesn't mean they definitely will lose, or that I don't love the Bs.

 

[bp13]

As fans we want to rip him but I think objectively he's right. If they match up with Montreal it's good night. And they'd obviously be underdogs against anyone else, so it's not like his prediction is all that bold. They're in the last playoff spot.

 

[Ratty]

Habs beat us with speed last year despite our President's Cup coronation. With Spooner and Boris, we've added more of that element this season. That, plus Tuukka, should improve our chances.

And, with four teams crowded within a few points of each other, it's possible we could face NYR or NYI or TB in the first round. Plus, we could play up a couple of slots in the last thirteen games.

 

[JOKER 192]

Oh goodie

 

[ksp1957]

Excellent. Pencil the Bruins in for the Stanley Cup finals.

The IT guys would never be able to fix it.
