Great matchup, could even be a preview of the Eastern final.

I can't wait for the Sabres-Bruins game!!
There is going to be some broken teeth on the ice.
Time to see what Rask can do under pressure.
Should be lots of fun.

I still think the Bruins are good enough as long as Rask plays well. They were the team that no one wanted to face during the middle of last season. Their depth, skill and toughness is still a scary combination.

I could see any 2 of the Bruins, Rangers, Flyers(if they get goaltending) or Pens in the Eastern final.

That is a big assumption!
I think the Bruins are good, but they might encounter some issues in the net!
Rask has never had to carry the load by himself, he has to now.

Yes, and no. Rask had to take over for the struggling Thomas in 2009-10, and did a remarkable job up until the second round of the playoffs, when the heart of the Flyers and inexperience of an NHL-season of conditioning caught up with him.

But you're right, this is going to be different in the sense that there's not really an experienced safety net behind him. Anton Khudobin's solid, but I don't think you'd want to see him in net for more than 15 games this year.

True. Like any team, the Bruins have some question marks -- specifically with their top-line in the case of Lucic's conditioning and Horton's post-concussion playing style -- but their depth is what will make them dangerous. If this team gets into one of those grooves they got in from Nov. - Dec. last year, they could very well steal the No. 1 spot in the East early.

That being said, it's hard not to look at the Rangers, Flyers, Penguins, or even the Caps and think that they could very well be representing the East in the Cup.

It's really going to be a wild year, and I'm pretty pumped for it.

I love and hate this matchup. The games are always entertaining but Rangers always seem to get the upper hand. Hopefully for the Bruins the conditioning of guys that went to Europe makes up for the guys that didn't play in any game action.

avengers assemble. af, no boarding majors if it goes into ot this time.

This is false, but carry on.

If the B's have a question mark in goal, I shudder to think what sort of punctuation the Caps have.

The Jets. Yaye.

They feel that the additions of Ott and Scott will add to their overall team toughness, and push the Bruins around.

Buffalo. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Agreed, Regardless of recent history, B's always tough to play against.

They think Ott and Scott will get the revenge for Lucic hitting Miller. It doesn't make sense to me because those are the types of games the Bruins always win, it is when the opponent refuses to fight the Bruins have the most trouble.
Plus try following Garth for a day.

Don't need to tell me twice, their severe lack of a top line center will hurt them badly. CoHo and Ennis do not fit that mold, at least not yet. I think it is the Bruins division to lose, especially in a shortened season. Really excited to watch Rask as a starter, and the continued development of Seguin. Not to mention where Dougie fits in the equation, i would love Top 4 paired with Seids.

I'd be surprised if Dougie sees the ice without Z or Seids next to him. Claude will shelter his minutes and double shift those 2 guys I think.

I agree, Hamilton will be treated the same as Seguin was his rookie year. A lot of time in the pressbox and sheltered minutes.
