I don't think the Penguins will have any more trouble scoring in this series than they have in the previous 2. Boston is the largest, strongest, most physical opponent they have faced yet but Rask is no better than Anderson and the Senators actually (to my surprise) allowed the least goals against in the East this season. 3 rookie Dmen aren't gonna cause the Pens problems either and Chara can only play 25-30 a night.
No matter what the Bruins do offensively, they aren't going to be able to outscore the Pens in 4 out of 7 games, though they will be more competitive than the Senators were.
These are probably my 2 favorite teams in the East so I'm not going to be too out of sorts either way.
Pittsburgh in 6.
