Leafs had 2nd place clinched, their seeding could not be effected. Boston had 3rd in the division and 4th in the East up for grabs, but elected to "rest" their 6 best players in the final game of the season and ended up in a WC spot. Never have I ever seen this before, teams are dying to get points at the end of the season to advance in the standings and get home ice. Boston absolutely threw that game to avoid playing Toronto and end up playing against Carolina without Freddy. Bruins management waved the white flag, hoping these jerks lay a beat down on them now.Both toronto and boston sat out players. They didnt throw anything

Whatever makes you sleep at night.Bruins sat 8 regulars in a meaningful game …Big bad Bruins scared to plat the Leafs …cowards
Potential 2nd round and if they make the finals again against lower seed from the west. It's not that difficult to comprehend. Regardless, Carolina is still an elite team without goaltending, they'll just have to tighten up a bit defensively.What home ice are you referring to exactly? I’m sure the Bruins should have risked their top players in that back to back game after having their flight cancelled to they could have home ice against the Caps if the Caps beat the Panthers. Just ridiculous line of thinking. Go back to your own series thread.
0 Cup wins as #1 center Bergeron?There is one factor everyone looking . The patrice factor. Stay calm and Bergeron we say us bruins fans. Another selke trophy in his pocket this year.
8 wins in 9 playoffs games vs the Canes as #1c.0 Cup wins as #1 center Bergeron?
Can a Canes fan explain their G situation? Are the top 2 both injured? When are they expected back? How has the #3 looked?
Raanta Played the last game.. Andersen we won't know until tomorrow but as of now he didn't practice today. If he doesn't practice tomorrow he won't play game 1.Can a Canes fan explain their G situation? Are the top 2 both injured? When are they expected back? How has the #3 looked?
Freddie has been the clear #1 all year and has been phenomenal. He got hurt a few weeks ago and is day to day. Doesn’t seem like he’s expected to be ready for game 1, maybe later in this series.Can a Canes fan explain their G situation? Are the top 2 both injured? When are they expected back? How has the #3 looked?
Long term probably, but he’s a 22 year old kid with 2 NHL starts and doesn’t speak a lick of English... High upside there but he could also easily not be ready for the moment in the playoffs.#3 might be the best goalie!
The Canes 3rd goalie is Pyotr Kochetkov who is 13-1-1 in the AHL and 3-0 in the NHL. He just bested Shesterkin in a division-deciding game. He is a monster.Can a Canes fan explain their G situation? Are the top 2 both injured? When are they expected back? How has the #3 looked?
Should according to who?Everything should lean towards Carolina winning this but I have a feeling the Bruins will somehow win this series in 7 games
