It doesn't matter. We'll crush them like a bug.
Any team, Bruins are by far the best team in the league
Bring anyone!
They play who they get can't change what happens
As a lifelong Devils fan, I'm not crazy about the B's. But it is nice to see humble fans like you actually concerned about the first round. I know y'all got a lot of massholes, but I see a lot of guys like you when I lurk in the bruins subreddit.
Tone deaf, overconfident loudmouths like many rangers fans are never a good look for a team, glad you represent well.
Boston wins in 5. Panthers suck
Penguins…I wanna see Cindy cry.
Go Bruins.
Doesn’t matter who they play
If you are true cup contender, it doesn't matter who or where you play.
I think the 1st round could be okay-ish with whomever, but then I’m kinda scared of everybody – especiaĺly Canes, but Rangers and Tampa are also scary.
Pittsburgh has struggled in the playoffs recently, so I'm not sure how this would go
one thing to consider is the Islanders have Barzal coming back most likely before round 1. The powerplay when Barzal and Horvat were together was 35%. That is a huge increase from where it is now and could be the last piece of their puzzle. If they go up by a goal or 2 they shut teams down with their defense and superb goaltending, but believe me as an Isles fan i really hope we stay in wild card 1. We don't want to play you guys either lol
The B's have success all year rolling the alternating goalies system. I say they buck the old trend of riding one horse between the pipes during the playoffs and they warrant success regardless of who they play. Giving opposing shooters the same target with the same deficiencies to shoot at isn't wise. Mixing it is the way to go.
Yo! So ready for todays Penguins – Bruins Game!
I would love to see a Bruins Penguins series
You nailed it for me…..Penguins are the team I want to play the least in the first round.
I want them to play Florida
I would love the Pens matchup as a Boston fan. Winning the cup is much sweeter when the team has to go through every rival imo.
I wrote an article about this a few weeks ago on Boston Sports Nation, pretty much had the same thoughts
I can see the Bruins playing Pittsburgh in round one. It is crazy to think that the last time these two played each other in the playoffs was the ECF, 10 years ago.
Play sabers
Who's here after the Bruins beat the Penguins 4-3 🐻
I feel like of the pens isles and cats isles might be easiest for the bruins to handle going off of how we’ve played against them this season
THE BRUINS DON'T CARE WHOM THEY PLAY… THEY JUS WANT TO START THE PLAYOFFS NOW. THEY MATCH UP WELL WITH EVERYONE. THEY HAVE 4 GREAT LINES 2 ELITE GOALIES AND A TOP TIER DEFENSE.. NO WORRIES.
Doesn’t matter who. A hot goalie can beat the best team. I remember the 93 Canadiens had no business winning the cup but Roy stood on his head and beat everyone. Same as the Bruins in 2011. I thought they would be ok but never thought they would go all the way. Thomas was a beast in net and that was that. They just need to play like every round, the opponent is the best team. Good, smart fundamental hockey.
Anything less than a Cup for Boston is a FAILURE. Go failure go! 🙂
No matter who they play I can't stand 7 game series especially for the Bruins front line. They've had many of them in their history. With only one Cup for their troubles.
We swept the islanders don’t get worried about ‘em I’ll say sweep or in 5
Pens in 6 no bs
Would love to see Pens vs Bruins round 1, as I'm a Bruins fan living in Pittsburgh lol
🍁 Toronto is always available with it’s famous “One and Done?” 🍁
As a pens fan, idek what the pens would do in the playoffs. Wc2 is basically their only option if they make it and they’ll either get swept first round or win the cup. Very inconsistent season with really high highs and very low lows. However the bottom six and defense will remain trash regardless. The pens only win if their top six carries and if jarry can find his all star form. Even if they get all of that it’ll be an uphill battle against Boston.
anyone the bear will eat anyone
you're giving sullivan way too much credit
I’d rather play the Islanders than the penguins dude I don’t get what is so scary abt the Islander if we crushed them every time we played em
lol buffalo good luck with that! lol
