True.
But last year, same round, the Bruins were also up 3-1. That one didn't turn out too well.
They played strong tonight, though. We'll see if they can close it out at TD Garden.
Well the bruins themselves make up 7% of those that lost, so yeahTrue.

Also a couple other series's on 3-1
Last year's team was generally softer physically, older, and not as healthy. 2023 Bruins shot their load during the regular season, and IIRC Montgomery was reluctant to switch goalies. Neither Swayman, Ullmark, or the whole team were playing well as that series developed, and Florida wore them down.
Not counting out Toronto, but I don't see the Bruins being handled in the same way Florida did last year by this Leafs team. Fans booing the Leafs to end the 2nd period appropriately indicates where their game is, or at least was, last night.
Stupid Leafs. They are not dead yet, but they'll be stinking by Tuesday....
We have to give more credit to Florida as well. They obviously had a stout team last year
And this year. I didn't expect the Lightning to win yesterday, but glad they did-at home. Liking both teams can be trying at times.
I was more surprised the Fla got up 3 before TB won. TB was a decent team all year
In the Vegas-Dallas match up, I quit watching after 2 and went to bed
It was all Vegas, and much better T.O.P and puck control than Dallas
That said, Dallas had 4 breakaways in the 2nd, 3 of them clean. Their shots were poor.
Next shot by Vegas on the PK went in the Dallas net
Although Dallas won in OT, I'm sure thats why they lost the first 2

Florida made some great-and somewhat surprising(Tarasenko, Okposo)-acquisitions in the off season/trade deadline. TB played better toward the end of the regular season and Sergachev coming back gave the Lightning a boost, but it may be too little too late. Makes it interesting-er though.
Canadian news has some opinions to share
Frustration spills over for Maple Leafs core as season, future hangs in balance

That one is actually a lot milder than some of what is being said and written. Very accurate though. Golf Leafs Golf!
Oh wow. Haven't heard that name in a while. Didn't he call out a teammate and his ex-GF for hooking up?
Edit: I Googled and that's him, just one of the many stunts he pulled. Oddly enough, he's had bit parts in movies (most recently Oppenheimer) worked in the fashion industry, and is a gay rights activist.
