The moment has arrived that they have been waiting for weeks in Boston, the playoff. The franchise of New England has been the best team in the league throughout the regular season, with such a depth of bench that even injuries haven’t detracted from this team’s ability to generate hockey and Bruins fans are eager to see his team deploying that game in the playoffs.
Despite having played a flawless regular season which earned them the Presidents’ Trophy, with a historical record of victories (65) and points (135), that does not mean that the Stanley Cup is already in their showcasessince 2013, the best team in the regular season hasn’t taken home the holy grail of hockey.

Boston Bruins’ fisuras
They have certainly been the best team of this just finished regular season. Still getting carried away in the final part of it, whipped by injuries and resting key men, they have made a historical record. Compact, exceptional in all its lines from goal to forwardthere does not seem to be a gap to make them fit a blow.
the season of Linus Ullmark makes the great season of his partner in goal Jeremy Swayman seems commonplace. The defense that already got a reinforcement of bells the previous campaign with Hampus Lindholm, has added a veteran champion like Dmitry Orlov to those already present McAvoy and Carlos, and in the front, Pastrnak has blown up his personal records with 61 goals and 52 assists for a spectacular 113 points.
If someone expected the departure from the bench of Bruce Cassidy was not going to be able to be compensated with the arrival of Jim Montgomery He was wrong, the new coach has put together some Bruins that seem unbeatable.
Florida Panthers: look for the surprise
When the Panthers bet on Matthew Tkachuk once he announced his desire to leave the Calgary Flames they were not wrongWith 40 goals and 109 points, he signs numbers similar to those of his last season with those of Alberta, but the most important thing is that 30 of his points (12 goals and 18 assists) have come in the last 20 regular league games , being decisive for the classification of cats. But there has also been a certain Carter Verhaeghe, That kind of player that few name, but who performs beyond his duty, his 42 goals have been the best mark of the team, even above Tkachuk.
If the attack seems to be no problem in Sunrise, another song is the goal. None of the three men who have held her on this course have achieved a solid and sustained performance under the tubes. Paul Maurice has tried to Alex Lyon In the final part of the season and in the nine games played, they have signed a more than acceptable balance of 6-2-1 that might earn them the confidence of their coach in a difficult tie.
