Maybe they'll be massive flight delays and the Panthers Have to forfeit

Scaredy cats.

Listened to Sweeney today saying if no Bergeron it would be Zacha .I have no say but rather Krecji move up and have Zacha with Pasta and Bert because they looked awesome down stretch.Anyhow my 2 cents hope Bergeron feels better

What exactly is the Bergeron injury or are they not saying ?

 

[wintersej]

I'm scheduled to fly to Miami for a friend's bachelor party on what would be the day of game 6. If that game happens, I'll be real tempted to split off and go to the game lol. Definitely packing a lot of Bruins gear.

You just need to imbibe enough at the game to not be behind when you catch up with everyone at 11.

Forbort should not play. The pecking order of the defense is very clear, and he isn't in it. However, Florida does have some size and grit, so I sort of understand it, totally do not agree, but understand. The Czech line should stay together. Bertuzzi is a third liner and those easy passes to Pasta will not be there in the playoffs. I do understand about the third line being too pass first, but Coyle can adjust and has shot more recently. Edit: the performance of our third line will be the key to this series along with goaltending of course.

Scared about Bergy, something is really bothering him. He will play, but I wonder about his effectiveness.

Come playoff time Forbort is still ahead of Gryz in the pecking order...

Not in mine. no way____________________ Besides which Forbort skates like garbage and has not played in about a month. You are going out on a very thin limb.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

My guess with Grzy (if indeed it plays out like that) is because FLA is a fairly big hitting team. Set the tone for G1 with a more beefy Bruins lineup.

On the other hand, think about the fact that we are at least contemplating having both Gryz and Freddie sit because there is no room at the inn.

I strongly suspect FLA won’t have as many tough personnel decisions to make.

Why do people just pull things out of their asses like this? FL a big hitting team? they are 25th in hits and just got publicly called soft by their top star's dad.

Humbleness is a good thing

There is humble and there is chicken s#it.
This team is running the table, or as close to it as is realistic. This is what I THINK they are capable of doing, not what I feel, or fear, or am afraid to jinx, etc.

Get it done!

 

[frankiess]

Remember, some people who claim to be Bruins fans are not really Bruins fans. This is especially apparent in the playoffs.

That's right. Bruins in 3.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I feel like this series has a good chance of me going from "Ehh Panthers are fine. Wish the best for their franchise" to "I f***ing hate these guys as much as the Caps, Blues, Bolts."

 

[BobbyAwe]

IMO, the whole key to our success is whether Bergie and Krejci can last through 4 rounds.

We are deep but we NEED those two to be 100% to go all the way. There's no question they will be giving it their all but are battling age and chronic bumps and bruises and who knows what else.

Fingers crossed...

 

[JCRO]

I wonder if Bs fans are gonna completely take over the Panthers home games in attendance. That’s how it is during the regular season

Be awesome if they do

 

[OV]

So if the Bruins do decide to go with Forbort over Grizz are they idiots? I mean they have to be right?

I'd think it'd be hard to call 'em out for anything they decide after the season they just had....

What are they in hits after the callout?

 

[KnightofBoston]

Yep, I am. Thought this was a general playoff thread. Guess not. Does that even exist this year?

Sure pal, walk straight ahead
