Yes, they can be beat.. and, other teams can choke too..
I think that the Bruins have at least 15 games against possible playoff teams left. So the challenge doesn't end.
bring the cup back to Boston 😤
The Bruins have to find a way to beat the Hurricanes
Step 1: be the Tampa Bay Lightning
Step 2: ???
Step 3: beat the presidents trophy winner in the 2nd round.
There ya go I saved you the video
If the goalie pair keep doing what they're doing, any team with those two are gonna be super tough to beat in seven.
Frankly, I think the Bruins will get through the first two rounds without too many problems. Carolina-Boston is a likely matchup in the conference championship.
The East final this year is ground zero. Only two or three teams out West can stay with Carolina or the Bruins.
As always, SACRIFICE TO THE INJURY GODS!
DA BROONZ RULE
I think they're already playing meaningful playoff style hockey. Hence the success. Also, keeping that kind of winning percentage going and chasing the all time record is motivation enough. They're just waiting for everyone else to start playing playoff hockey.
The difference with this team compared to teams past is B's have no Tuuka Rask. Rask folded in critical games.
Teams I can see beating Boston:
1 Tampa
2 Carolina
3 Vegas
4 Toronto (If they can get out of the first round)
5 Colorado
can those two 37 year old centers hold up in the playoffs?
they can be beat, any team in the playoffs can lose
As a lifelong Bruins fan, of course they can be beat. Look how many losses they’ve acquired after losing Debrusk for a month+. Every team can be beat. It’s what makes the playoffs so damn exciting. Every team has a chance if they catch fire.
Lol yeah Tampa do.inated regular season with records in pretty much everything regular season and got swept by a team that never won a single play off series ever
The not playing any meaningful hockey take is meh and easy.
Carolina going to come calling in ~May
Obviously the bruins are a balanced team, it's going to be tough but if they continue solid defensive play, they've got a chance. Tampa is tough come playoff time.
As a Bruins fan from the Bobby Orr era, the reason we say, "I'll be happy after the playoffs are over", is because I remember the 1970-71 Bruins team. Scoring records for everyone… they owned the whole league. And then Montreal brought in some gawky, floppy goaltender named Ken Dryden. So Bruins fans know All about that, it's in our history. How you never mentioned it gives me doubts as to your knowledge of the fans of the Boston Bruins. We don't forget so you are probably not talking to real,
dedicated Boston Bruin's fans.
as a Bruins fan i just get worried about all this hype! hell yea the team is playing awesome but i hope they don’t fall off come playoffs man. They looked great last night but against the Predators. i’m pretty casual but just don’t want this team to fall off a cliff 😂
no
Playoffs are the only games that are going to Matter to the Bruins..and Defense and Goalie are gonna be Key to winning and going far in the Playoffs!!
Records are nice to have. But mean nothing if they can't get through the playoffs, get to the finals and win the cup.
No cup in 2023, everyone will forget.
