Eastern Quarterfinal: (2) Boston Bruins vs. (7) Washington Capitals

[Mad Max]

Bruins in 7. Washington will give them a run for their money. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Washington pulled off the upset.

[sabresfan129103]

Boston is gonna stomp them. B's in 5.

[Boston BROin]

Bruins are done for. Caps in 5 or 6.

Nope. Not a jab. Just a nod to how confident I feel about the Bruins in OT.

Haha, what?

[dahlenrules]

Is Horton out for the playoffs?

Wideman will win AT LEAST one game for the B's. Hopefully Corvo and Wideman even each other out.

Like I said, regular season success means jack**** right now. Habs have owned the Bruins in the regular season the past few years (not this one), and they got 7 games from the B's in '08. A 4 game sweep in '09 and 7 games last year.

Every series is tough this time of the year.

[Barresi]

Should be a good one! The whole Southeast has been a nightmare for the Bruins, but hopefully this turns out well for the B's. Like last year, I'll hold back on the predictions. Seemed to work for then.

No...hopefully Corvo won't be playing for the B's.

Please be healthy Boychuk! Please be healthy Boychuk! Please be healthy Boychuk! Please be healthy Boychuk! Please be healthy Boychuk! Please be healthy Boychuk!

Minor Threat > Negative FX

Based on that, I'm going Capitals.

No one knows on Horton. All we know is that he started skating this week. Also, Corvo won't be playing. Boychuk will be back.

[Ivyy13]

So scared. This will go to 7 games.

[Blades of steel]

Caps fan, Boston in 3. Keep washington under the radar

Most Bruins OT games went to shootout (12 of 15 I think) so its hard to tell how well they'll be in the playoffs.

But I'd agree they have a better chance than the caps in OT

[Alexei Yashvalev]

Capitals in 7 if Holtby plays like he can.

Otherwise Bruins in 4 or 5.

I'm not talking 4 on 4, 5 minute OT. That isn't the Bruins style. They run a stiff defensive system that doesn't excel in OT like that. I'm talking 20 minutes, 5 on 5, wear your opponent down OT.

[AirheadPete]

i'll say boston, but i see the caps giving them a run for their money.

I know regular season OT is different, but theres not much else you can go on besides the 5 on 5 play that you mentioned which is why I think the Bruins have a better shot

[Eternal Sunshine]

Bruins in 6, OP's schedule is backwards.

[DiMaGa]

Bears in 6.

[omzuJ]

Bruins in 5

[Machinehead]

Boston takes a VERY high scoring series in 6 games.

[Still All In]

Caps will get a win out of Boston, but will go down otherwise. 4-1 Boston.

[hero]

Come on, this should be fun to watch.
