And I’m going to Carolina in my mind .

 

[BAD BOY]

I’ll repeat myself I like the bruins in 6 games . I have no reason or logic just a gut feeling.

 

[22Brad Park]

Bruins in 6 .Go Bruins

 

[Bridges31]

I guess I’m not allowed to post that I think the bruins will lose.
So bruins in 4 I guess.

 

[Kate08]

 

[The National]

Looked pretty good at times. Still not panicking. Everyone made it out healthy.

I think we’ll see a very different team come game one.

 

[Jaguar God]

We should honestly have two separate GameDay threads. One for Bruins fans, and one for the "fans" that gave already declared the Canes winners of the next series.

 

[RoccoF14]

Well that's 3hrs of my life that I'll never get back..

I could have been painting my garage floor.

bruh youve been bitching since RR game 1 and said the exhibition mattered

 

[chizzler]

Holtby plays well against the Bruins who would have thunk.

Never has. The team smothers the Bruins. He always coasts against the B’s.

 

[Fair Warning]

5 months ago, I would’ve picked Bruins in 4 or 5 easily against the Hurricanes. Now I have to only hope that they’ll adjust their mindset to the playoffs and be desperate for their first win in nearly half a year come later this week.

 

[BAD BOY]

Carolina has had a little layoff though. I know I’m reaching . But who knows

 

[prizminferno]

Never has. The team smothers the Bruins. He always coasts against the B’s.

But that isn't what happened. Bruins had every analytic in their favor. No smothering was done unless you mean Bruins on Caps.

 

[Zillah]

I know we swept the Canes last year but not watching any of the games since I seem to remember that sweep almost felt like it could have gone the other way . Canes dominated play for long stretches and if not for Tuukka could have been much different ... Beware

 

[JCRO]

Hope Kase is alright after that hit. He revived that second line today for sure.

JDB was bad outside of that goal.

Ritchie IMO is really holding back that third line. He has a tough time keeping up with Coyle and Bjorks speed... we’ll see if he can ramp up his play as games start to matter

no it never once felt like that, lol

 

[The National]

Maybe I should get into the Red Sox just incase.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Top line was excellent at least. Shot attempts were 26-4 at ES with Bergeron on the ice. Marchand is clearly frustrated but I think Bergeron and Pasta look good.

McAvoy just had one of the worst games I've seen a D-man play, and Chara was really bad too. The top D-pair and the D in general is very concerning.

Kase looked pretty good, still puts himself in tough spots though. I didn't like the Coyle line today, Ritchie had a much worse game.

 

[Coach Parker]

Perhaps Rask is their version of Holtby?

 

[missingchicklet]

Very happy the Bs came out of this one seemingly healthy, against a team with pukes like Hathaway and Wilson. Ovi was coasting most of the game and not taking runs at people. I don't think either team was giving a shit who they play in the next round. Other than the score, the Bs were the better team. Neither team looked like their usual self. Glad to see things starting to click better in certain areas for the Bs. Bring on the Canes!

 

[Dr Hook]

Another snoozefest from the Bs. I hope they can turn it on in a few days. I don't know how that is supposed to work, but hoping for it.

 

[chizzler]

But that isn't what happened. Bruins had every analytic in their favor. No smothering was done unless you mean Bruins on Caps.

If you look at the past 15 games or more against the Caps, it is what I wrote.

Bruins the better team and match up well against the Canes.

Huge advantage in net.

Swept them last year.

Bring them on.

Bruins in 5.
