The Bruins

Did the BBB gain any advantage by "throwing" that last game to the Panthers?

What? Did they suddenly forget how to win one. Who would they have played if
they'd won against the Panthers?

Ironically Reimer was in net for Florida. You can bet he wanted a win against Bruins.
Not sure who they would have played. Looking forward to the series and remember their last, like Reimer!

There was no benefit to throwing the last game. In fact, winning would have given them the Eastern Conference (home ice advantage up to the Cup finals).
Why did they crash and burn at the end?
-More than anything, they were tired! 3 games in 4 days (5 games in the last 8). Many games were OT in the last 6 weeks. A lot of players had been working hard the last month or two.
-Also, some players just getting back from injury and haven't shaken the rust off yet.

I am hoping that their 3 day rests before game 1 against Tampa will recharge the batteries. We shall see.

I just worked with Zdeno Chara really. Spent three hours with him, amazing to be on the Ice watching hm, plus he's a genuinely nice guy.

Unfortunately the Bruins logo was not part of the deal which is why the Warrior Arena looks different. LOL

Aren't they playing Toronto?

[Por_sha911]

Yup. They'll lose the home ice advantage if they face Tampa.



I've started a thread. If you are a fan give us your bracket predictions.

No I produced and directed the piece through my Company. The guy with Chara is Greg Fitzsimmons, a Comedian and Hockey Player from LA. He's a very funny guy. Actually had a great time travelling around meeting and working with different players on this one. If only they were all this much fun.
