I posted this picture last year after the Bruins lost to the Flyers in the playoffs. Lets hope last years debacle is fresh in their minds and motivates them to close the door early on the Flyers this time around.
It should be noted that the Bruins are 3-0-1 against the Flyers this year and scored 13 goals in those games. Tim Thomas had a 1.96 goals-against average and a .942 save percentage in those games.
And the Flyers should be a much better match up for the Bruins than the Canadiens were. The Canadiens would fall like a ton of bricks anytime the Bruins tried to get physical with them, hence drawing lots of penalties and leaving Bruins fans to complain about the officiating night after night.
The Flyers will probably be as physical as the Bruins. Meaning, less penalties for the Bruins, more fights, more momentum swings and less bitching about the officiating.
Stay tuned…
