Getting this on the record now so I don’t sound like Captain Hindsight:
Anyone who thinks the Bruins are an easy out for Florida is kidding themselves. Panthers may win, but Boston is going to be extra motivated to avoid back to back losses to Florida. They’re a physical team that won’t go down without taking an arm or a leg with them.
Additionally, for all the comments about how the Bruins haven’t won anything, I don’t think there’s a team that gets more out of its lineup than Boston. They remind me of the Islanders a few years ago - mediocre lineup but everyone is bought in.
I hope you're right, but I wouldn't bank on it. Florida are the best playoff team in the East by a noticeable margin, and they're well rested. Boston are going to need to find an extra level or two than they had against Toronto if they want to give them a run.
