Not if you watch "Behind the B" he isn't, on them all the time. The players on the ice he favors are soft. From what i've read the entire team is soft so you gotta go with what ya got. |

Personally i think they can beat the Bolts, any team will be a tough 1st round matchup imo, even TO. Only team I would fear in the 1st round arre the Rags. The Bruins are not getting an easy matchup. Don't think fans should concern themselves. It's going to be a tough 1st round no matter what. Nope, no easy preferable matchups. The earliest the B's could meet the Rags is in the ECF, i'll take that all day long, let the chips fall where they may. |

A lot of big games tonight with playoff implications. The Pens/Caps, Isles/BJ's for the last WC, B's/Canes, Panthers/Sens for 1st in the Atlantic plus the Bolts play Montreal and with a TB victory they'll close to within 2 pts of the LeRfs for the 3rd spot in the Atlantic with one more head to head left.

Pens, Isles win, Caps fall out of the playoff grid. The Pens have a tough remaining schedule, real tough, but the fact that they're a point out of a WC spot is crazy, turtle race for the last couple spots. Torts is getting more press lately than his team is, who are in a death spiral, not good.

I think you could turn the "preferable matchups" thing 50 different ways and be right every time. One of the things I think is true is that you can get trapped by a team you beat pretty handily all season. It promotes going in with an "it ain't broke..." attitude, which may turn out fine, but THEY are coming in with a gameplan based on minimizing the strengths you used to beat them and attack you in the areas where they think they can have more success. And if they've got a good gameplan, you might be done before you figure out how you need to change to beat them. |

I think some of it has to do with their goaltending down the stretch. I mean Ersson has done yeoman service after being thrown in as the full time starter, he was splitting it with Hart before Hart's surrender. Then they used Cal "Let em' in" Peterson to give Ersson a break and now they flew Fedotov over from Russia and he's starting tonight, wow, when the going gets tough the tough get desperate. |

Montgomery is too soft IMHO. You can look at it that way, especially after last year playoff collapse. Feel like he gets the most out of a team that is lacking in offensive firepower this season other than 88. Do you think this year's B's have an odd advantage because they KNOW bergy is not coming in to save their ass? So they all need to pull their weight... |

Islanders, Penguins, Filthy, Devils, Buffalo, Detroit and Crapitals all still in playoff hunt. Flyers shitting the bed for Torts. Looks like they tuned him out.

Guess it's Tampa Bay in the first round. Going to be tough to win a round.

Huge game between the Pingu and Things tonight, Caps/Sabres, Rags/Flyers, Isles/Scabs. The Panthers play the BJ's as well, if they win they're 1 point back of the B's, lots to be decided. Oh yeah, Vegas lost again and the Blues won so St Loo still has a chance.......

Looks like the Isles have nailed down a spot, not officially but they're up by enough to hold i would imagine. The Penguins are holding the last WC spot in the east with the Caps and Things 1 pt back, getting dicey.

The West is set, Vegas won and the Blooz lost, now just the seeding to figure out. In the East we should get more clarity after today, Isles, Caps, Things, Flyers, Pens all play trying to get 3rd in the Metro or the last WC.

The Bruins aren't going to win the Presidents trophy and they don't need to. They are going to be a vert tough out in the playoffs. It will be interesting to see how far they will go this year.

Any word on when the playoffs start for the B's? I am going to guess game 1 is Saturday. Tampa's last game is Wednesday.

"Bruins win in any fashion OR a Panthers regulation loss combined with a single point for NYR, and we are guaranteed a BOS - TB first round."
Pretty much gonna face Tampa more than likely.
