B's had some defensive lapses and a very rough start to the 2nd period, but I think this series comes down to a significant difference in net. I think the teams are fairly well matched offensively/defensively - maybe the B's are a little stronger on the back end, Toronto maybe has a little more firepower overall. But nothing much separating the two teams...except in net, and it showed last night.
I was at the Garden last night, place was electric. My first playoff game since I sat in the last row of the bleachers in a series against Montreal like 20 years ago, it was a hell of a time. Hoping for more of the same tomorrow night :)
Dude, I hope you have tickets to tomorrow's game. Last night's game was definitely a watch event and sets up for either a dud win at home after the refs take charge early on and call a tight game; or Tkachuk and Montour play their taunt game and get the Bruins to bite. Must see TV for me. The cameras caught the preparatory words between the last 2 pugilists (gracious recognition there for your boy) and then your boy informing his coach. I see Tkachuk as the new Marchand with his taunt and cheap punch after Pasta was on his back. But then maybe Montour just revived the old Brad that I used to loathe.
Can't bring myself yet to yell Go Bruins just yet, but for sure there is no lets go Panthers chant until that taunting chip on the collective shoulder of the Panthers gets knocked off.
