If I was coaching against the B's just keep up the heavy forecheck. It's what Carolina is really good at and one of the Bruins weaker points.
Like they say, dance with the one who brought ya.
Canes are a forecheck heavy team. Their path to the Cup is to keep going with that. Either it works out or it doesn’t. The worst thing a team can do in the playoffs is get away from its core game plan.
But the biggest factor is going to be goaltending. They have been straight-up outplayed between the pipes in their playoff exits in recent years. It undoes a lot of good work when the games are tight. If that changes, results will follow.
