AlaskaFlyerFan Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 The Bruins are the 2nd most physical team with the 2nd best goalie the Hawks will face. The Hawks are too fast and can handle the physical part of the Bruins game. Blackhawks in 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarsippius Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I gotta go Bruins. D and goaltending will be the difference, as it should be. In 7, hopefully, long summer after this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 The West is so far ahead of the East this season that it is not even funny. Hawks in six at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 The Bruins shut down some of the best offensive players in the East. I expect their defensive play will slow down some of the Hawks offense, however the Hawks offense seems to have gotten it back together. The Hawks defense is just as solid as Bostons if not better. Crawford vs Rask is a wash. I think the PP for Chicago is the difference.Hawks in 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B21 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Rask is the only thing keeping this from being only 5-6 games.Hawks in 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris922 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 The West is so far ahead of the East this season that it is not even funny. Hawks in six at most.I strongly disagree with the West being ahead. I dunno how to call this one though. The Pens had the best offense in the playoffs and were shut down. If the Bruins play the same way... I'm going Bruins in six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pensuck Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Blackhawks in 6. The Pens choked and made the Bruins look much better then they are. I just hope its a good series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 There is no reason to think the Hawks will mow this Bruins team down, keep on misunderestimationing them . They roll 4 very good lines any of the top three can put the puck behind Crawford, they are big , fast enough and skilled . They are all committed to back checking and all seem to have a knack for getting their sticks in passing lanes. there's a lot to like about the big and bads. F Chicago- Broons in 7.

jammer2 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 We are in for a real treat!! Both these teams have won the cup in recent years, both rosters know what it takes to win....which bodes well for the fans of hockey who have no emotional attachment to these two teams. I give the Bruins the edge, better defense and better goaltending. The depth at forward is pretty even, both teams have excellent scoring and excellent bottom six forwards. Bruins in six, but I do believe 3 or more of the games go to OT, where the Bruins have the edge with Rask in goal. The red hot line of Horton, Krejic and Lucic will see a majority of the top checking, freeing up Bergeon to pick up the slack with lesser checkers trying to keep him in check. I love the way Duncan Kieth plays the game, but there is no real counter on the Hawks for Chara. I think Lucic (or maybe Thornton) will fight Bickell early to try and establish physical superiority. This is gonna be a fast paced, hard hitting final for the ages. Can't wait!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pensuck Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 @jammer2Did u see how many goals bickell has so far in the playoffs? That's crazy. He may not be allowed to fight:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevluk Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I just want a good long series, and if tonight's game was any indication, that is exactlywhat we are gonna get! What a game!Oh, and Bruins in 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
