If the Canucks were healthy in 2011, don't think the Bruins win that series. Goes both ways.

You're kidding right? That series was the biggest beatdown of a 7 game series I've ever seen. Plus the Bruins were missing key players too.

I don't know about that. It was about as big a blowout you could get in a 7-game series.

the canucks had to chances to close it out and they got outscored 10-2 in those games.

Every game they did win were 1 goal margins. The games we won were beat downs. Highest goal differential in Cup history, and their vaunted PP was a minus 2, we scored 3 shorties to their 1 PP goal.

Well that's pretty horrendous. Of course, I don't think the Bruins' power play was much to sneeze at either.

Didn't need to be. Unlike the Canucks, who couldn't win without theirs.

True. As you said, the PK took care of business. I guess you could say the PK was actually the PP for the Bruins.
Since I work weekends I miss these matinee game, how did they look overall and did Doby play well?

Maybe he will be our Tim Thomas in the play-offs
Tuukka will have to **** the bed.
Great win! I didn't get to see the game, but it's great to see them nab these 2 pts. Saw the highlights though. Looks like Doby came up huge. And that KMiller snipe!
Both goalies coming up big this weekend to put the team in the driver's seat down the stretch. Great to see!

Nope . The B's were short Marc Savard and Horton.
The Nucks were mentally weak. The B's were the better team.
How lucky are the B's to have both net minders playing well. Let's cheer on both of them !

I agree - it seems so simple to me. Both Rask and Khudobin had issues earlier this year. Sometimes, they had stretches of downright awful games. We had a huuuuuge stretch of games where no backup goaltenders won a game in regulation.
Now, they're both reaching a peak. If there's a time to peak - this is pretty darn close to the time! I don't get the call to "play Khudobin until he loses" from late March. Yes, the 6-3 loss to Tampa was horrible - inexcusable. But we're at the point where we can't afford to lose too many games.
You play your best man in goal, and for us, that's Rask...with the typical "backup goalie" exceptions of A) Back-to-backs, B) Starter really needs rest, C) Starter injured, D) Backup needs to be "reheated" (ie hasn't played in 2 weeks).
That said, I think/hope today was Khudobin's last game this year. Hopefully he's as good next year as he was the latter part of this year. I could see McIntyre getting a peek in early 2018, but I'd like him to have a little more time to develop.

The Bruins were without Savard and Horton.
That alone kills that argument. I can't believe a Bruins fan just tried to use that excuse.

Those two players were better than the best of the Canucks.
The Nucks are still mentally weak.
You are so right Ladyfan!

Dobby does have some similarities to Thomas.
They both have/had an unorthodox style of goaltending.
