Anthony Travalgia: What will the Bruins playoff lineup look like?

Go Bruins Go.

Will be tough if its Frederic that is the odd man out. He has been pretty solid this year. i am sure it will be a rotation of whoever feels the best.

Go Leafs Go!

Not this year. Leafs vs. Bruins Round 2, then they'll blow.

Well streak had to end sometime.

Bolts in 5. Leafs stars and goalies will choke.

Saros played a fantastic game. Crazy after the deadline that nashville had that they are still in the hunt for a wildcard spot.

As much as Nosek's play has improved, I would rather see Frederic at 4C. I think his play warrants it.

Kind of hard to give up Nosek's faceoff and PK skills though...

You got a point there. Maybe Frederic and Foligno can take shifts on the wing? Depth is a good problem to have in the playoffs. Tough call for me, glad I dont have to be the one making decisions.

Honestly, I think Bertuzzi is who I would sit but not an easy decision. I'm with you, tough call and glad it's not mine (much easier to second guess ).

Might be the case. I do want to see at least one game with Hall-Coyle-Bert. Could be good, could be more of the same. I guess we will see.

Something tells me once healthy we will see a forward rotation of some kind. Monty has a lot of flexibility.

Bruins ice their AHL team for the 3rd period? Yeesh...

Depending on what happens this summer with the D, might get a good look in next year's preseason.

Obviously I’m rooting for my Oilers but I always find myself cheering on Boston in the East. Would love to see Hallsy get to hoist up Stanley .

They gave up a 1st Round Pick for Bert and he is definitely a Rental, No way he will see the Bench in the Playoffs, Not to mention he is looking more and more like himself, need to see a little more Nasty from him but the more games under his Belt the more I am seeing

He has been showing more and more as he is getting more comfortable with the team. At the end of the day, the playoffs are a different animal and whoever handles the pressure best is going to be in the lineup.

Lucky for us, there are a lot of options right now for the bottom 6.

Honestly I want to see one game at least with Hall-Coyle-Bert. It has potential to be sneaky good.

If its going to be a long run, I'm sure everyone will get their looks. If you go up by two or three games, you can rest guys and give others a look. Monty has proven that he can win by mixing and matching. Expecting to see more of it should things go well in the playoffs.

I think to start you sit Frederic. But this should be a short leash. No Julien bullpoop cow towing to vets. If Bertuzzi or anyone in the bottom 6 isn't doing their job Frederic should be in and Greer and Lauko should be considered. All hands on deck.

Agreed, We haven't heard that much on Fliggy, He may not even be a legitimate decision for the Playoffs, he may need more time, which they should allow him.
Freddy has been Great this year.
