Another winner. Read my previous post, especially the last sentence of the first paragraph, it applies a great deal to you, it seems.Completely irrelevant fact/statistic. Good job

I dont think that fact is irrelevant. It pretty much states the things too come if history serves correct. Than again stranger things have happened.
Yep, I'll be cheering for the Rangers in their series.
unless the Islanders win...

Although I agree with you, it wasn't even the point of what he quoted. He was apparently just a little too excited to throw such a brilliant remark that he made an assumption based off a little fit.

Trivia: Boston has made it out of the second round once in the last 20 years. Not exactly a perennial threat, if we're going by yearly results. The cup team was considered an underdog to win going into the playoffs, and still needed the full 7 games to beat 3 of the 4 teams they faced. Still a good team, but let's not overrate them.
Slow, injured, tired, and about to face a team that is faster and more physical, and the same size.
I remember hearing the collective conniption that Leaf nation had when we faced a scary-looking Senator team that had swept the season series. Ottawa was a better team than this current version of the Bruins, and the two Leaf teams are arguably even.
I often get the impression that Bruin fans buy into the trash Edwards spews. Time to shut him, and them, up.

Hey guys, just wanted to come over and wish you all an awesome playoff series. I'm excited as hell... I have tons of Leaf fan friends and it's gonna be a blast watching these games with them. I posted a little thread a few weeks back after the Bruins won one of the games this year saying I knew the Leafs were gonna contend for the playoffs, and they'd get in. I'm really excited for you guys. I'd have to say I'm probably a Leafs fan second, so I know there's been so much hunger to see you guys in. Win or lose, I still like you guys a helluva lot more than Montreal fans, and I'm looking forward to a fun, hard hitting, physical series. If there's one team that reminds me of the Bruins Cup winning team in the playoffs this year, it's Toronto. Deep, young and physical.
Let's hope it's a good series!

According to twitter reports, Bozak is on the ice before Leafs practice and puck handling seems to be a problem. Saying its an upper body injury believed to be his shoulder....Doesn't sound good...

It's not the record that is worrisome, it's the actual play; the Bs constantly outplay us. Granted the playoffs are a new season, you can't help but wonder.
We will see.

It's funny how we always hear that he is a 3rd line player, rides Kessel's coattails, shouldn't be re-signed to anything more than a modest raise yet if he can't go it will be a huge factor in the series.

Bozak remaining out for start of practice but doesn't appear too comfortable shooting ... Suspected shoulder injury
Jonas Siegel @jonasTSN1050 51s
Bozak more or less fourth forward on line that includes Grabovski, Kulemin and Lupul. Kadri remains with Kessel and JVR.

Will have to see what happens with Bozak. All I know is if he can't take faceoffs at 100% there's no point having him in the lineup.
Still not a major concern for me in the greater scheme of things. Need to focus more on the team overall playing much better hockey.

But, it's not a huge factor. If we need to put someone with Kessel while he's being shut down just use Colborne or something. The key to this series is the second line.
well if Bozak is done...we better home that Bergeron is not 100%, that guy wins 20 faceoffs a game and without Bozak its only going to be worse for us.

that sucks, we need bozak, provides some stabillity, and faceoffs
this is time for grabo to step up
Boston will own us on faceoffs and hence control the play. That was the one big reason Toronto was chasing the puck the whole night against Montreal. They won almost all the faceoffs and Bozak's absence was truly felt.
We need him back.
bruins can focus on first line now, putting eggs in one basket, with bozak being out
that second line will be key

If Kadri, JVR, Lupul, Bozak, Kessel and Reimer come to play, I feel really good about our chances.

Disagree completely. Control off the faceoff is huge without Bozak there is no goto guy.

Except he won't... we've waited the entire season for him to step up. Kind of doubt he can flip a switch and stop sucking just like that.
