if the B`s lose tonight, it won`t be due to the absence of Backes, he`s long past the stage of his career where his game tilts the scales
It will be due to the fact that the Top 6 failed to show up.

You are quite confident with your opinion. Imo, Backes still can change a game with net presence, hard hit and his experience.if the B`s lose tonight, it won`t be due to the absence of Backes, he`s long past the stage of his career where his game tilts the scales
Coyle hat trick and 2 more goals by Kuraly?
Or will our top-line at least contribute an ENG?

We said this against Toronto and imo he did help change the serie
55% CF, 61% GF 12-5 HDCF 3-1.5 xGF last gameIf this team was playing well and losing, I'd be more confident. They're not giving any reason to feel they can turn this around and win.
Bruce not realizing that, after getting benched, in StL, that Backes would not come out like a maniac with a lot to prove this being his last game in StL for a Cup imo, particularly if he were put on 3rd line.I dislike the move and disagree with Bruce. But i hope the Bruins the best and hope the Bruins are correct and that I am wrong. THis team have barely won any games without Backes in. Hope Kulman will have success.
That said, despite any opinion on this move...i am extremely sad to see a veteran, warrior player like Backes in these condition especially (playing against his former team) being sit in this crucial SC final.
Fresh legs is never a bad thing, in the playoffs. Especially when they come with jets on them.he helped change one game vs the Leafs then went MIA

GDT has been delivered.
It could be the nap I just had but I feel better
I’m well aware hahaThe Bruins make “terrible” goaltenders look superhuman.
It's not what I would of done (I would of move Kuraly to load up the Top 9 and reduced the minutes of the remaining forwards on the 4th line at even strength.).
But let's not forget that Kuhlman had an impact in a big Game 7 vs. Toronto. That was a big stage, the biggest game of the 1st round IMO.
Don't discount the positive that is young fresh legs into a playoff game close to the end of a 2-month grind. In today's game young fresh legs can be just as impactful as this vaunted "experience" we keep hearing about.
Blues have been effective in bringing guys in a subbing guys out of line-up and it's helped. Why can't it work for the Bruins?

What was the problem besides garbage reffing?
Well if they go with the weather the storm mentality that’s a good possibilityget the first goal or we are done
