Devils just don't stop. They could pass the Canes

Good. I hope they blow their wad now. I'll take playing well as the playoffs approach any day.

The bar is so low for our kids lol

I wish our team could actually skate

They all need to train with weighted skates Or something this off season.

The Devils are going to catch the Canes and make our lives much easier

This I would be fine with.

No disrespect to the Lighting (they can f*** off), but Boston/Toronto in R2 will be appointment viewing for any hockey fan.

 

[Kords]

I need a Boston and Toronto 1st round exit like I need oxygen to breathe. The buyers remorse would be so immense, I need the chaos.

Really hope those squads over did it and botched the secret sauce that brought them this far.

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

This is crazy. It's like a cold war and the teams are just waiting to get at each others necks.

Boston trading another 1st rounder. Go figure, I think they should wait until they are really ready to compete.

Beregeron and Krecji are 37 and Pastrnak is about to be come a 10 mill+ player. This is one of their last shots.

I was being sarcastic.

oh lol that definitely didn't carry over well

Can the east like, stop?

Aside from injury depth, Bertuzzi isn't worth that cost. Honestly Boston should of just grabbed Hathaway and Orlov and called it a day.

I guess keeping him away from potential competition counts for something too.

My brother in law is a B's fan and thinks Hall and/or Foligno are out long term. Would explain the move for Bertuzzi.

Ahh, that makes sense then.

Boston is a machine. It's going to be very tough to beat them 4 times in a series. I keep saying this but the east is going to be a bloodbath. Sort of like the final scene in Scarface.

Then they pull off a miracle to face us in the ECF. Revenue exceeds $6.2B. Cap goes to 88M.

I agree, though the same argument was used about the Carolina Hurricane last playoff season.

 

[Leonardo87]

Strome missing another wide open net last night gave me PTSD.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Bostons only real questions are as follows -

- Can they get any offense out of anyone other than their top line when the playoffs start? This has been an issue for the last few years.
- What does Ullmark look like when it matters?
- They're pretty old collectively, do they have enough in the tank to get through 4 rounds?

Along with the others that every team has (Health, Luck, are you playing the Penguins so you have to deal with the league/refs as well, etc.)

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Not to this extent. We were battling Carolina for 1st until the last week of the season. Boston is on a whole different level this year. They may break the points record. I get that anything can happen in the playoffs.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I can't see Boston not making the finals outside of a catastrophic rash of injuries. Maybe the Isles can make last spot and they can beat each other around the rink til there's nothing left.

 

[Captain Lindy]

I guess for the Bruins, eight losses are too many. Geezus. They might lose a total of ten games all year. Oh, the horror.
