Call me crazy, but if I'm the Bruins, I think I'd rather face Toronto in the opening round...

No you're not crazy. The Sens have a top goalie and with Karlsson back that sure help's. Any word on Spezza?

He's still day-to-day with fits of giggling, but could be back for the second round if the Sens advance.

Just read this, like I've always said the playoffs are a new season but this is interesting....

Generating offense in this game may not be easy regardless of which Boston goalie starts. Rask has posted a 1.21 goals-against average while winning his four career starts against Ottawa, and backup Anton Khudobin is 3-0-0 with a 1.33 GAA lifetime in the series. Khudobin has won both meetings this season, including a career-high 45-save performance in a 3-2 victory April 2.

Anderson, who hasn't faced the Bruins this season, has gone 1-7-0 with a 4.20 GAA in his last eight meetings.

Backup Robin Lehner has been much better, posting a 2.13 GAA in six starts versus Boston despite a 1-3-2 record.

That's not very promising.

I think I would like to see a Toronto-Montreal matchup

You're crazy. You might be right I just wanted to say that.

 

[Slimpikins]

As a fan I want to see the Toronto vs Montreal matchup.

I want the two seed if I am Boston actually...They will beat either the Islanders or Sens and finishing 2nd guarantees you avoid the Penguins until the conference finals.

I'll take my chances against Boston over Pittsburgh any day thanks. The Isles actually beat the Bruins in Boston the last time the two teams played.

The best matchups would be if the Bruins won in OT. For Montreal it really does not matter, both series would be a coin flip. Have no clue what to expect from Montreal in the Playoffs.

Agree, It depends on which Price shows up, The bitch Price or the right Price.

Sorry but your team doesn't stand a chance.... Played way over their heads all year. The Bruins have extra gears the Islanders do not have.

 

[puckhead]

three hour turnaround from NBA to puck drop.
might as well play with a tennis ball.



/take the under!

If the Pens end up with the Isles in the 1st, I am ok with it as long as Orpik doesnt take any slapshots when Crosby is on the ice unless Sid is wearing an Ironman mask.

It's the playoffs and last year showed us anything is possible as the 8th seed out west won it all. The Bruins haven't exactly been lighting it up lately so I'm not ordering my rings just yet (and certainly not staking out my seat for the parade)

 

[BF4L]

Bruins will win it all.

Even if they dont they are the best freaking team to be a fan of in the NHL.
