To me sure TO can be a dangerous out but not for 4 rounds, they're too flawed. Like last year when they finally won a round only to be disposed by the Panthers in 5 games, what's changed?

Ed Munster will definitely help that team as far as true needs...they will be tough to keep off the board so you will have to pot 3-5 to beat them. Just because Bruins beat them in regular season means Jack Edwards shit...all they have to do is win 1 out of 2 in Boston and it is a series. I'd rather play Tor. however than the Islanders.

Love Bertuzzi's game. He tuned up Wothers. Well worth a first rounder... The thing is you need to keep him. Strong works Dipshit Don. Bertuzzi's a dipshit. Loved Beers' comment - great you fought the AHL call up and won, but you've been a ghost for the rest of the game. 9 goals plus a hat trick this year. Minus player on a team that is +30ish overall. Ghost in terms of his impact on games. No thanks. Think Dodger Don avoided an albatross. Geekie has more goals, more points, and is a +8 at a fraction of the price.

Bertuzzi ain't worth his contract and won't be worth it to whatever team signs him next year, invisible other than his tough guy routine, first i've seen it all season.

Is their D and goaltending improved from previous years though? I don't see it, they could win a round, maybe not.

Matthews disappeared in the 2 games..crazy how little Leafs looked so not formidable v. B's...yet we think the B's are so awful that they have to make tons of changes. Weird. Laffs aren’t the only team the B’S need to beat come playoffs…. B’S don’t need to make many changes but do need an upgrade or two…. Yeah, but c'mon. The drama around here lately has been fever pitch as it often is around the deadline. There were people saying the Laffs were going to embarrass the Bruins because they were hot and (presumably) because their 4 mouseketeers and all of their "talent" were going to dance all over the ice. Nope. The Bruins put them in their place. Bruins can't score! Well...they outscored the Laffs 8-2 this week; they're 10th in the league in goals/game ahead of the mighty Panthers, and have the 8th best PP despite recent struggles. They've got as many as 7 guys who could hit 20 goals this year, one two who will surely top 30 and one who is likely to hit 50+ again. Can't defend! but they're the 4th best team in the league for goals against and the only defensemen on the team who are minus players are Shittencrack (-2) and the hotshot rookie (-1). Even Wotherspoon is plus 5, and Grz is ... well some kind of magical leprechaun anyway. I think danny's point is that the Bruins are not necessarily flawed in terms of their composition; when they play Bruins hockey, they can beat anyone in the league 4 times out of 7. They're 2-0 against Florida, averaging 3 goals per game. They're 4-0 vs. Toronto averaging nearly 4 a game. 2-2 vs. Detroit and averaging nearly 4 per game. 1-0-1 against the #2 team in the league averaging 3/game. 2-0 vs Dallas, 3 goals per game. 1-0-1 vs Bruce, 3 goals/game. 1-0-1 against Colorado - 4 goals/game. The only real contenders who they are below water against are the Rangers and the Canes, and they won't see them until the Eastern Final if they can get there. I think the existing group has earned a little faith and praise of the sort danny was offering.

The Bruins haven't had much trouble keeping them off the board. 1.75 goals/game over 4. I agree with LM that regular season sweeps mean Jack Shitwards in the playoffs, but I also don't believe in a switch that would allow that Laff team to suddenly start beating the Bruins goalies regularly.

Jack sounding like Danny Torrance. That's an excellent comparison.

Cmon book, you are smart right? How about this, you are a numbers guy.. Who scored more than Bert in the playoff last year? Don't say the actual answer, just come back with a stupid comment... Don't worry we all know anyhow.

Don't say the actual answer, just come back with a stupid comment... Don't worry we all know anyhow. You're smart right? You know I've pointed out several times that Brandon Fucking Carlo scored just as much as Bert at even strength in that series. Jake DeBrusk scored just as much as Bert at even strength. I guess if we're going to take a 7 game slice of life and base our entire judgement of a player on that 7 games and that one stat we're going to live and die on because that's all that matters...I should never expect you to criticize either of those players for the offensive games ever again? You know I couldn't give a fuck about raw points numbers because I think they're often a terrible and misleading way to judge whether a player helps you win or not - and while it would be a much harder thing to demonstrate statistically, it's sure clear that the Bruins were less cohesive and more prone to shaky hockey after they acquired Bert than before - when they were already the best team in the league by a measure that made Secretariat go "wow, that's a lot!" You're welcome to disagree, but don't try to say I'm the one with auto-disagree on when you try to get me to agree to something you already know I reject as a principle.

The 19 B's had a great PP in the postseason, so what's the harm of that? It won them games...allowed the team to get within one W of a Cup.

For not giving a fuck about numbers you sure are working pretty hard to unjustify Bertuzzi's. So taking away the numbers pussy ass Jake and Carlo are laughable compared to Bert's grit and compete level.

I'll take Carlo's ability to absorb punishment and box out down low all day over Bertuzzi's inability to cover in his own end. I'll take Jake's hard back check breaking up odd man rushes over Bert face-washing rookies all day every day. Bert isn't hockey tough. He doesn't do the things in the course of the game that take commitment and courage. But yeah, he'll "compete" after he gets beat and try to fight a guy so that maybe the guy will think twice about beating him at hockey? Nah. No thanks.
