Great minds...well maybe anyway.

Would love to know that the coaching staff is telling them. Leafs have a ton of talent. You better play them tough.

Only way to play that team. You’re not getting into a run and gun game against that line up which will be even harder to play against when they get Kadri back next round if they advance.

Pulock - Pelech have become our top pairing. They did an excellent job against the Pens. If Leddy - Hickey are the bottom pairing, we may survive the next series.

The bold is another reason to hope the Canes beat the Caps. Canes have lots of talent, but they're a bit less physical than the Caps.

Careful what you wish for. I'm not sure about that one. They are deep at all positions and Mrazak seems to have found his game too. Not saying I prefer the Caps, but the Canes have their mojo right now. Let's just hope it goes 7!

Even with all the Leafs talent, the Bruins coaching staff will have a lot to explain for if they are out.

I would rather play the canes. Caps have a more definitive line up and a ton more physicality which we have problems matching up to at times. We use our physical game to our advantage against teams like the Leafs and Pens not so effective against the caps. I know the canes are bringing that game also but I don’t feel they have the longevity to keep it up. I would also rather face Mrazek even though he’s playing excellent right now than holtby just my opinion.

That Bruins "offsides" wouldn't have happened if that goalie interference was overturned. It likely would have been 0-0 still at that point and they wouldn't have had the extra attacker on the ice.

Nah leafels were up 2 0 at that point

The way the bruins are playing I think the leafs will be getting to the next round. Bergeron is playing like crap. Leaf fans like to say it’s tavares shutting him down which is laughable the guy just isn’t playing well period. He’s like a shell of his former self he looks like he’s done... Starting to think he may be injured.

Tampa and Toronto are very similar and the bjs are on fire. Good luck with them Toronto or boston

Second round is going to be interesting. Wonder how the BJ’s come out the gate and if they get handed a loss how will they react? Same for our team...

Tomorrow is an elimination game for B's. If they don't bring it tomorrow, then something's going on. Maybe they have injuries, or maybe all their playoff runs are catching up with them. Remember a few years back (just checked 2013) when Bergeron was playing with broken rib and separated shoulder?! They've had a long history of playoffs. It catches up after a while.

JT could not stop Uncle Leo from scoring. It's not over yet but the Bruins are in big trouble unless they can go back to playing their game.

No question all the playoffs games catches up with you. It's a lot of extra games. I'm sure it played it part in the Isles/Pens series.

- Upstate_isles

Exactly. They wouldn't have been up 2-0 if the interference goal didn't happen, therefore the offsides wouldn't have happened either. Who cares anyway, just making a point...

Will be interesting they has dizingel duchene panarin foligno Atkinson Jones werenski and Bob that's a ton of high end talent. Isles will need to play structure and continue to capitalize on their chances. Facing two goalies better than Murray will be tough

Haha, you and I are on the same page today. Just said the same thing, and I mentioned his 2013 injuries. Dude is a warrior, but just isn't playing like himself.

[quote=Upstate_isles]
yea, that team is loaded. They finally put it together and have been practicing for a stretch here while resting. As much as I want to move on and realize we have another round/team to deal with, I think if we get to them they'll be too much to handle.

No he’s not and it’s definitely not due to Tavares’s excellent two way game😂

JT actually played well last night offensively, he was all over the ice in the O-zone. His normal pesky checker, stealing pucks, making passes, digging for pucks. Just not sure he's the reason Bergeron isn't performing.

Wait the BJs won? I heard somewhere they were going to lose after making all those trades and Jarmo would be fired. I’m confused

Always! I totally agree that the Canes would be a huge challenge for the Isles. But between them and the Caps, they are the less physical team AND we would get home ice advantage.

And yes, I'm hoping for a 7-game series decided in a quadruple OT game.

To be fair 7, it was not looking good for a while with the Jackets. Full credit to them for turning it around and sweeping the Bolts.
