Looks like it will be the Panthers. Like you said their defense is much worse than ours but they can definitely score in bunches when they want to. I predict Bruins in 6 but I could see them winning in 5 if the defense and Ullmark hold up
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.
The Pens are always a great team on paper, but the Bruins generally handle the Pens. And this has been true in the postseason too. Their roster is just too old now too, they didn't make good enough moves at the deadline. The Panthers are the only option here that scares me. They always give the B's trouble. Islanders feel like they've had a down year, and unless Barzal can get back to form I think their roster is thin
Without Svetchnikov I’m not super worried about Carolina given we’ll have home ice all playoffs, the Rangers really worry me though it seems like they’re clicking and they have so much experience
Not worried about the Rangers at all, Bruins have owned them forever. Canes are a little less scary now without Svechnikov who was big for them, and the Devil's are way to young and inexperienced to worry me. Bruins made them look like minor leaguers on two separate back to backs in Jersey. I worry about Toronto, Florida and Tampa more than anyone else.
@@greyk610 second round will be interesting for sure. I think Toronto finally breaks the curse in a hard fought series and then gets swept by Boston lol
Florida is the only team I'd be concerned about. We swept the season series for the rest and seem to have their number. Florida would have just pulled off a 2019 CBJ and squeaked into the playoffs in the final 8 games. Meanwhile the Bs have had a season like the 2019 TBL...
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.
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
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.
i'd love to see it too, as i'm a native pittsburgher that used to live outside of boston. definitely have to give the bruins a pretty decent chance of winning in 5 or 6 though.
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.
Rather take on Penguin's goalie's. See if we can get that done in 5 games, rest just a bit, not get rusty- study the other teams. Penguins are dangerous-especially when Malkin has the puck the last .07 seconds of the game. But I think we can pick on their goalies easier. Sadly, I don't think Buffalo's going to make it Whoever it is-make sure we don't underestimate our opponents!
Good points. I will say though sometimes, Superstars steal games. I have no doubts Crosby and company can snag a game from us even with a mediocre Jarry performance.
Leafs and Boston fan here. Weird combo I know. what's your thoughts on Bruins vs Leafs series I would say that Leafs can't beat Bruins round 1 but I think if the leafs push through to round 2 it would be an amazing series and the outcome I think could be surprising what are your thoughts?
Im really on scared of tampa or say Toronto gets the monkey off their back. Also new jersey can catch fire QUICK in any given game and erase a multi goal lead in minutes. The only team that scares me from the west if the avs
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.
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.

They won’t win the cup even if they beat boson 😂 the pens odds of getting passed Boston are below 3% anyways. It just won’t happen.
If the Sabres made to the playoffs they would want them they beat them 2 times 7-1 and 7-0
🍁 Toronto is always available with it’s famous “One and Done?” 🍁

I’m partly a pens fan and you couldn’t be more right we’re too old and blow every lead we have.
i wouldnt want to play the islanders either im scared of sorokin
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
Just PTSD from getting knocked out by them a few years ago. We'd sweep them this year.
The only teams I'm worried about in the east are the Canes, Devils and Rags
Rangers lost to Buffalo. 😆
Without Svetchnikov I’m not super worried about Carolina given we’ll have home ice all playoffs, the Rangers really worry me though it seems like they’re clicking and they have so much experience

The Panthers imo, are the one wild card team that I feel like would upset the Bruins.
@@greyk610 second round will be interesting for sure. I think Toronto finally breaks the curse in a hard fought series and then gets swept by Boston lol
They play who they get can't change what happens
Who's here after the Bruins beat the Penguins 4-3 🐻
That’s the team I want to see us play, I don’t want to see us play the islanders
Yeah the pens.
Me
After the league and refs favortism to the pens and Crosby the other night I don't want the pens
Without bergy mind you
Florida is the only team I'd be concerned about. We swept the season series for the rest and seem to have their number. Florida would have just pulled off a 2019 CBJ and squeaked into the playoffs in the final 8 games. Meanwhile the Bs have had a season like the 2019 TBL...

Do any other people find it weird how sports fans will say “we” or “us” when talking about their favorite team, I do this too but idk why
I’m glad it’s probably not gonna be the islanders due to the physically they bring in the playoffs
I don't want to deal with a relatively fresh Sorokin first round.
Nope.
Enjoy!
🐻
I think this was something when they met last time, but other than Clutterbuck I think a lot of those players are gone. Unless I'm mistaken
@@Bfrd25 it’s actually mostly the same team minus Eberle and Beau

I don't think anyone wants to play boston this year
we should hope we get the penguins because we would steamroll them in 5 games. hopefully we dont get the islanders or panthers
As a non Bruins fans I would rank your opponents like so
Panthers - Bruins in 5
Islanders - Bruins in 7
Penguins - Bruins in 7
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.
and we swept them off their feet 4 games to none
ugh please don't remind me; that was beyond brutal.
Would love to see Pens vs Bruins round 1, as I'm a Bruins fan living in Pittsburgh lol
i'd love to see it too, as i'm a native pittsburgher that used to live outside of boston. definitely have to give the bruins a pretty decent chance of winning in 5 or 6 though.
Isles fan here, we dont wanna face you guys, trust me!

I agree with the 93 canadiens but that 2011 bruins team was stacked. A bunch of great players who started to gel at the right time
Bring anyone!

Whoever it is-make sure we don't underestimate our opponents!
The last time the Penguins beat the Bruins in the playoffs was the 1992 Conference Finals. I’d take Pittsburgh over Buffalo honestly
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.
Definitely not the Panthers, probably the one team between the 3 or 4 in contention for the Wild Card that I feel like would upset the Bruins.
Pittsburgh has struggled in the playoffs recently, so I'm not sure how this would go
Yo! So ready for todays Penguins - Bruins Game!
If you are true cup contender, it doesn't matter who or where you play.
You nailed it for me.....Penguins are the team I want to play the least in the first round.
We swept the islanders don’t get worried about ‘em I’ll say sweep or in 5
I'd rather play the Penguins than the islanders or Panthers but tbh none of those teams worry me
Panthers worry tf out of me, lol. Probably the one team between the 3 in contention for a wild card spot that I feel like would upset us.
But I feel like the Bruins would sweep the Penguins or Islanders.
@@greyk610guess who was spot on
Very well put together video. Keep up the good work!
You are overreacting. Goaltending wins games and bruins match up well with Pitt / jarry. Bruins beat pens in 5
Good points. I will say though sometimes, Superstars steal games. I have no doubts Crosby and company can snag a game from us even with a mediocre Jarry performance.
No offense to crosby & co... 4 game sweep
@@ICBBRUINS agreed. They also don’t have the best D core
Yes
@@ICBBRUINS that team sucks bro
you're giving sullivan way too much credit
I want them to play Florida
Sabres have Levi and are more dangerous than the rest of them.
Good analysis 🤙🏾
Though I'm rooting for a Pens match-up.
Any team, Bruins are by far the best team in the league
Doesn’t matter who they play
unfortunately i dont see u guys beating the islanders if u match up with them
It doesn't matter. We'll crush them like a bug.
Leafs and Boston fan here. Weird combo I know. what's your thoughts on Bruins vs Leafs series I would say that Leafs can't beat Bruins round 1 but I think if the leafs push through to round 2 it would be an amazing series and the outcome I think could be surprising what are your thoughts?
Wtf you’re a leafs AND bruins fan? That’s like saying you’re a Red Sox and Yankees fan lmao not allowed
Need to hear the story on that
Im really on scared of tampa or say Toronto gets the monkey off their back. Also new jersey can catch fire QUICK in any given game and erase a multi goal lead in minutes. The only team that scares me from the west if the avs
I would love to see a Bruins Penguins series
Jeff Petry?🤣🤣🤣
Play sabers
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.
How the fuck do we blow 2 goal lead in the third
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
Pens in 6 no bs
Panthers and somehow if Ottawa gets in those are the teams I do not want to see the playoffs
with these teams the only real wildcard is goaltending . so you dont want the islanders thats it
