* The Bruins have won two games relatively convincingly in this series, while the Blues have been forced to battle like crazy to survive their 2 wins.
* That being said, were it not for Tuukka Rask the Blues would have blown out the Bruins in games 2 and 4.
* The Blues defense is surviving the battering better than Boston's.
* The edge in Conditioning in general looks to go to the Blues. They have what looks like endless amounts of energy.
* The Bruins key has been scoring off of rebounds.
* The Blues key has been their defense pinching really deep and causing the Bruins fits...As of this point the Bruins wingers are not able to handle those pinches.
* Binnington hasn't always been great, but he shows great maturity in his ability to let a goal not bother him and be there to make momentum saves.
* Brayden Schenn has jumped up several levels in this series. He is a legit contender for the playoff MVP.
On the Silly Season...
Kevin Hayes rights getting moved may prove a domino over the next few days. Quite simply, there are too many big names going to UFA and teams will tell you they need to focus their efforts and that is what the Flyers have done here...
What other players rights could be moved?
I keep hearing Duchene's and Panarin's rights have been discussed...
On Duchene...
It is no secret that Duchene and Nashville are talking. Both sides want to make this happen and both sides know it. In some ways that works against a "right's trade," because the Preds have reason to believe they are already the player's choice. However, David Poile prefers certainty and having Duchene's amount determined allows him to make some other key decisions...
On Panarin...
I keep hearing the Islanders, Rangers and Panthers all would like a first shot at signing Panarin and I have also heard Panarin himself would prefer getting this done before the craziness of July 1 hits and you are fighting for the dollars left with so many other players...
What's the Buzz?
What do you think of trading for a Player's Rights?
What player would you like your team to look at?
