Ty Anderson: Five Questions for Bruins; Round One Predictions

Sixth question for the Bruins: who do you think you will play in round 2?

Yeah, I know - I should be more optimistic...

Chara and Seidenberg can't play 45 minutes a night though, so the Leafs will get their chances to expose the rest of the Boston defense. I think it's gonna be closer than a lot of Leaf fans think, for sure.

Secondary scoring will be very important for the Leafs. Separating Kessel and Lupul may be a good a idea

Hope Kadri and Lupul can get that magic they had going for them in the playoffs!

I have another question why does it appear Dougie Hamilton will not be playing tomorrow night we seem to be better with him in the line up

It's a condensed season, and he's played a combined 80 games this year between the OHL, WJC, and now NHL. I think the Bruins want him to rest up and watch for a few, or give Wade Redden the look that they believe that he's earned.

Ty Anderson: Five Questions for Bruins; Round One Predictions
- tyanderson


Ty, I know you love the thought of Jagr and Krejci together, but Lucic and Jagr are far to slow to play on the same line against any top line with average speed. Jagr can create chances whoever his line mates are and that is why he should be on the 3rd line, I don't trust anyone else to bring that ability to the 3rd line.

This series is a toss up for me, the way the Bruins have been playing the past ten games doesn't give me much confidence in them. My prediction is that the series goes 7 games the Leafs win it on the road.

Yuuuuup. Unfortunately too true.

I still like Rask's game, and I still think he can outduel Reimer. Biggest thing, IMO.

IMO Kessel is the key to the series, if he keeps the hot hand rolling, you guys may never get a chance to break out of this........ whatever it is you're in. On the other hand if Chara and company send a message early and keep kessel silent the leafs should fold without too much trouble.

Ty -- what is a reformed troll with a heart of gold to do? Does my jealousy of Boston supersede my hate for Toronto???

All I can say is Go Boston (for this round only, then you suck again... well.. we will see, I want a Van-Boston Final.)

It always should, any self respecting non-Toronto Canadian should be rooting for the Bruins.
I think its time for Paille and his new found scoring touch to carry us through this round.

I hope the Bruins last seen in February are the team that shows up tonight. If that team shows up Bruins in 5. If this putrid mystery team that has been wearing the Bruins uniforms since March is still playing...Leafs in 6.

EDIT: Ron Poster (Bruins Organist) is in studio with Toucher and Rich. He just crushed subdivisions and Private Eyes. (frank) you Laughs! YOU'RE GOING DOWN!!!!

Good luck guys, here's hopin for a good series and not just a blow out lol The Leafs have played the Bruins farely well this year compared to years past, and though I don't think the Leafs will be the team advancing, hopefully they can provide some entertaining physical hockey.

Something in my gut tells me the Bruins are chomping at the bit to walk over Toronto, hopefully the Leafs can use that to their advantage...



Hopefully
