I couldn't possibly be bothered with predicting the way the playoffs unfold.

All I know is that I'll be rooting for the Bruins even though I have zero confidence that they'll get beyond the second round. I do however like their chances against the Habs.

I'm definitely with you there, manifold. It's too difficult to predict the first round, nevermind anything beyond that when it come to the NHL playoffs.

I think the Bruins-Habs is going to be a tough series, but I'm really pulling for the Bruins.... Probably in Six games. Beyond that I have absolutely ZERO faith in Claude "The Fraud" Julien's chances to take this team any further. I hope I'm wrong, but nothing in the last two seasons has shown me otherwise

 

[Montrovant]

I will be rooting for the Wings, as I have been doing for years after my Islanders once again fail to make the playoffs

I don't have VS so I won't be seeing much of the playoffs, unfortunately. I blame my declining NHL viewership on the Tampa Bay Lightning; they should never have won the cup. After they did, the NHL had it's strike, they were dropped by ESPN, it was a sign from the hockey gods! A team from Tampa should never have won the Stanley Cup!

Back on topic, I have only peripherally paid attention to hockey this season, so I have no idea which teams look good. As such, I will fully endorse Sheldon's predictions in the OP.

Sheesh.. what a bunch of Hockey Morons...

Thank you, sir. Tastes like a second round loss and a much needed coaching change.

I think the Bruins have a hot goalie so I give them at least a decent shot.

I know that taste. Tastes sweet at first and turns bitter very quickly, leaving a real lousy aftertaste on the way down. I agree Claude "The Fraud" Julien needs to go if this team doesn't reach AT LEAST the Eastern Conference Finals and possibly the Cup Finals.

I think the Bruins have a hot goalie so I give them at least a decent shot.

A wise hockey fan once told me.... "You can win a game where the other team scores a goal. You can NEVER win a game where YOU DON'T SCORE at least one goal."

I'm much more concerned with the OFFENSE than I am with the defense. Especially once they get a lead and go into that "Prevent Defense" that Claude coaches. When you're up 2-1 halfway through the first period it's time to try and make it 3-1, not time to try and play 50 minutes of defensive hockey, like Claude preaches.

 

[Article 15]

Alls I know is I better not see any Canadiens diving into posts trying to draw major penalties like Pacioretty did.

The Bruins are going to have to keep their emotions in check throughout the series. They can't take stupid retaliatory penalties when they get slashed, hooked, etc....

As a former HS football coach once said to me.... "The best way to get back at an opponent taking cheap shots is to get back up, point at the scoreboard where you're up by 21 points, and walk away."

The Bruins need to play good, clean, physical hockey. Finish their checks, make their hits count, make the good play, and frustrate the crap out of Le Blu, Blanc, et Rouge. The Canadiens will be at a huge disadvantage if the Bruins keep their cool and just play the game. IF Montreal wants to get nasty, fine drop the gloves and go with it; but let THEM be the ones who start it.
