Right now, even with a win tonight, I doubt that.Can’t believe they have to play the leafs. Coulda had an easy sweep against the devils. Stupid
The way they’ve played tonight, not to mention the last week... I have a hard time imagining being confident enough to call any series an easy sweep.Can’t believe they have to play the leafs. Coulda had an easy sweep against the devils. Stupid
The Bruins got outplayed badly by NJ in the 3 head to head meetings. NJ is preferable to Toronto, but they weren’t a great matchup.Can’t believe they have to play the leafs. Coulda had an easy sweep against the devils. Stupid
They play like they did tonight the Leafs will kick their teeth in.The way they’ve played tonight, not to mention the last week... I have a hard time imagining being confident enough to call any series an easy sweep.
Absolutely. They played hard in March to put themselves close to first place and I’m baffled why they eased up in the last week. Too cocky? Too tired?Could have played hard in the first 40 minutes and salted this game away early. Deserved this for waiting until the 3rd to show up.
Ran out of gas. Every other day for months with injuries and a lot of travel is going to take its toll. They also haven’t practiced. It has either been play a game or off day for rest.Absolutely. They played hard in March to put themselves close to first place and I’m baffled why they eased up in the last week. Too cocky? Too tired?
It really is so so stupidReal glad the 2 seed has to play the 3 seed in round one good job good fucking effort NHL.
They were 3-0 vs New Jersey this season. They were competitive games but I'll take that over playing Toronto.The Bruins got outplayed badly by NJ in the 3 head to head meetings. NJ is preferable to Toronto, but they weren’t a great matchup.
Crazy schedule combined with injuries. It was going to catch up with them at some point.Absolutely. They played hard in March to put themselves close to first place and I’m baffled why they eased up in the last week. Too cocky? Too tired?

Exactly. The Leafs are a coin flip series if they're at the top of their game. They have 4 days to find it.Couldn't be more disappointed with the effort tonight. Took 40 mins off in a must win game. Terrible effort.
The Leafs are going to pose huge problems for us. Christ.
I really hope they’ve been coasting, especially on D. Really really sloppy for quite some time now, even when they were gutting out those points in March.Absolutely. They played hard in March to put themselves close to first place and I’m baffled why they eased up in the last week. Too cocky? Too tired?
I don’t disagree but they were like a 42% Corsi and scoring chance team against NJ, the 3-0 is a bit misleading. They struggled with them for some reason. I’d rather them than the Leafs, just don’t think it was an automatic advancement.They were 3-0 vs New Jersey this season. They were competitive games but I'll take that over playing Toronto.
I don't think it would've been an automatic, especially if they play like they did tonight. I just think that they're more talented than New Jersey, and given a playoff level effort, would beat them. I think Toronto is just as talented as them, and if they both play well, it's a coin flip.I don’t disagree but they were like a 42% Corsi and scoring chance team against NJ, the 3-0 is a bit misleading.

After the Bruins early season doldrums they played twice--smoked them 4-1 and lost 4-3.So now the Bruins get Toronto who they suck against and if they get by them we have the top team in the conference waiting for us in Tampa......... this is not good
(I'm not convinced Tampa will move on)So now the Bruins get Toronto who they suck against and if they get by them we have the top team in the conference waiting for us in Tampa......... this is not good
Fair enough. I’m not sure the Devils are that great but maybe I’m wrong.(I'm not convinced Tampa will move on)
