Brown did well however Boquist is the much better option. Curious to see how that line performs tonight.

Got to take advantage of the gifts.

gonna be on a plane for most of this one, but i'm wearing my david krejci shirt which will hopefully give the boys some faceoff luck tonight

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Just win.

 

[Otherworld]

Come out with the exact same effort as last game boys!

Let's Gooo Bruuuuuuuuuuuuins

After a game one filled with secondary scoring, and Pasta looking more dangerous throughout than he did through the entire 7 games against the Laffs, I have a good feeling we might get a goal or three from 88 tonight.

I just hope everyone has a nice time

We should hope so. He's absent from this list.

To be fair, Pasta is tied for second in both goals and points, but yes, we obviously need more from him to advance.

Great GDT @Alicat !

Send their fans home early.

Nope, better. Florida will be better so Boston had to match, and raise. That's what it takes in the playoffs, every game. Should have a bit more speed at least.

Best way to beat their heavy hitting forecheck game is to play that way against them and pound their D relentlessly. Use our size and don't let up. Wear them down so that even if we don't win this game we can win the series.

Beat them at their own game. They have no defense for it.

Getting a split is swell but being up 2 games going home is sweeter.

Hey Steve, I hope the Bruins win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

Don't let this opportunity slip away. You know what's at stake here. All business. Be ready from puck drop. Sustain them early. Take no shit. Be physical. Control the boards
Forecheck. Park your ass in front of BOB. Get pucks on net. Get gritty. Dig deep. Good passing, not fancy. Control your end. Get pucks deep. Clear the crease. And GET THE JOB DONE. All business boys. Do your jobs. Let's get it!


I'll be watching this as much as I can. It's my Mum's birthday. But we will both be cheering the boys on. Let's give her a win on this day!

Yup, no more Gudas, which makes a difference IMO. He's the "walrus" of defensemen. He suffocated the B's around their net.

Here we are again playing our second game after a 5-1 score. We are not on home ice this time.

What are the odds that the Bruins would open two series during this season's playoffs with the same score (5-1)?

I expect that Swayman will start this game, that will be different than the Toronto series. I also think that the Panthers will be out to injure our players. This I think will be a hard hitting game. During the first game of this series there were 102 hits total, the Bruins (56) had 10 more that the Panthers. I expect the Panthers to change that relationship and to have some questionable hits. I hope the Bruins are prepared for this type of game and that they will protect themselves from injuries as best they can.

Remember, defense usually wins playoff games.

Go Bruins
