I think Bob got lucky couple times to as did Swayman .I think alot people sell Bruins short .They only had 1 less pt and had a breakaway last yr in playoffs to win that series so its not that big a spread as people pretending on these hockey shows etc.This series will be a dogfight.

"It was only the second time all season (90 games) — and first time since Nov. 14 — that two defensemen scored in the same game for the Bruins."

The Bruins delivered a stunning second period, and other observations from a Game 1 victory - The Boston Globe
With their fatigue converted to both energy and goal-scoring muscle from some unlikely marksmen, the Bruins took a giant step forward with a 1-0 series lead.

The Bruins made Florida look bad. The Bruins were not the beneficiaries of a bad night by Florida. That's where.

I never specified what caused the bad night (ie poor play/Boston’s defense) yet you’re so defensive about it. Wild.
Florida also outshot the Bruins by 10 and won 13 more face offs. They couldn’t put their opportunities away, made mistakes (forced and unforced) and Swayman was in top form. So I disagree. Some of it was poor play by Florida.

I doubt Gryzlyk sees the ice again for the Bs (injuries being the exception). He is not built to play against heavy teams, and his skating and passing are not good enough to make up for his shortcomings. Lohrei is a real talent with top-pairing potential.
Panthers Propaganda
We're a team
I really hated our game tonight, Boston played great and deserve the win. I hope we can step it up for Game 2.
Also all these people saying we would beat Boston easily…as if Boston hasn’t had our number since our species was primordial goo.

Bruins were playing very well and due to that pressure from the Bs FL made several plays that don’t happen when they’re on top of their game, and the Bruins buried nearly every damn one. That’s not an excuse, it’s just true. Bruins were the better team tonight, and also benefiting from an off night for FL. Credit to the Bruins for a well earned win.

You know you're right, it is wild. I mean everyone is 50/50 on this series, I act like 99% of people round the league and 99.99% of the sports media outside of Boston expect the Panthers to win the series in 2.5 games. I just don't know where this comes from, why I think this way, it is so Wild.I never specified what caused the bad night (ie poor play/Boston’s defense) yet you’re so defensive about it. Wild.

Love his game and how he is stepping up against these big physical opponents.

One of the key points from last year's series was the Bruins not scoring a single goal from the defense all series. Tonight they already got two."It was only the second time all season (90 games) — and first time since Nov. 14 — that two defensemen scored in the same game for the Bruins."

Nice win Bruins, long way to go, however, we beat up Tampa Bay on the road in Game 1 of the second round in 2018.

Even quite a few Bruins fans saw Florida as favorites prior to this series. I personally picked them in 5 or 6. Anyways, don’t take your beef with the media/NHL fandom out on random commenters.
Florida doesn't do it for me. Idc about their success this regular season/playoff success last year. They're a paper tiger, who will be knocked out in 6 games by Boston.

Not just him; that third and fourth line can play the physical game for sure:
Maroon, Brown, Beecher, Frederic, Brazeau all will drop the gloves, hit and play the physical game against the Florida D just how we all expect the Florida forwards to attack the Bruins D.

Toronto played a better defensive game than Florida did tonight. I expect that to change but damn, not having Gudas back there has such a different feel to it compared to OEL.

We know how well the last paper tiger comment went on the playoff boards.
Haha... love the JB's. The one with the dog in the piano almost had me in tears when I first heard it.
About Vancouver? they're lucky to be playing in the 2nd round. They didn't impress me in the slightest against Nashville. Edmonton is going to spank them in 5 games
