Heres one thing that I think nobody is talking about that favors you guys.
I don’t think Toronto, Columbus or Carolina challenged Boston physically. St. Louis will, and often. I also think Boston has done a good job of bullying opposing defenses known more for skill and puck moving than guys that embrace physicality. That also won’t be the case here. Pietrangelo and Parayko might not be the best defenseman Boston has faced these playoffs (they also might be, only question would be Seth Jones) but I do think they’re the most complete.
I also have a feeling the time off will cool down Tukka a bit.
Here’s hoping!
