Canes in 7.

Canes in 6.

[Mr.Coffee]

Bruins in 7

[Erick Estrada]

Hurricanes in 6 but I would not be shocked to see it go to seven games as the Bruins play a similar brand of hockey.

[Oil Stain]

Boston actually has the highest expected goals for at ES this season at 57%.

Perhaps they have been a bit unlucky.

Canes have an injured goalie.

I'll call for the upset. Boston in 6.

[activeStick]

Boston has that playoff experience and Bergeron, Marchand and Pasta are game changers, but Carolina is a very solid team. I'm thinking Carolina in 6.

[Sylvanfan]

This is the type of series where the numbers and stats suggest the team that wins will need 6 or 7 games and that team might score 10-11 goals in the series.

I'll take the Hurricanes to win in 7. Well coached team that's extremely deep and don't give up very much against. They are a bit deeper than that Bruins and that will get them the extra goal they need in a series where goals will be at a premium.

Pretty confident that Boston can get this done.

I would like it if we could sticky all the playoff threads, then unsticky them as the series conclude.

Agree. I’d appreciate the order.

[Scroopy Noopers]

Canes have Niederrieter, Necas, and Kotkaniemi playing bottom 6. They are a 4 line onslaught. Going to be tough, but the Bruins core is legendary.

[transplant99]

The Canes have defeated the Bruins 4 times straight this season after last night.

They have outscored them 21-2.

Domi was a sneaky good add. He's not the promising player he used to be but he's a good player to have in your bottom 6.

That is a crazy stat when you consider the Bruins aren't exactly chopped liver.

I would like to thank the courageous mod who stickied the playoff threads. The forum looks so neat and tidy now.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Antti Raanta injured. Hurricanes are playing their third string goalie now.

Frederik Andersen is also injured and may not be back for a while.

[powderjunkie]

Not sure how that isn't 5 and a game, let alone offsetting minors.

Outcome may be harmless, but action/intent isn't.
