I haven't given up on the Bruins just yet..The games they're playin now, I dont take too seriously..Maybe I should but I dont..Bruins SHOULD automatically be the 1st seed and Montreal should NEVER have a better than 1 in 2000 chance of making it YET they're 1 win away..How fucking stupid is that,

Agree with the Habs having no business being in the playoffs but the Pens look lifeless so far .. Habs go through they get Tampa or Philly good luck with that and miss out on a great draft pick ..

To me, it's the best of both worlds. The Habs lose a great draft pick and they don't get the revenue from home playoff games. Hopefully they get swept this round so the fans get angry too, then I'll have the trifecta.

The round robin is over. The Bruins are thrilled about that.
The Bruins completed the segment with a 2-1 setback to the Capitals on Sunday. They finished with three losses and four goals. Those two numbers are in direct correlation with where the toothless Bruins stand as they prepare for the first round of the playoffs against Carolina.
“We worked very hard for our goals. We just seem not to get rewarded,” Tuukka Rask said. “I’m sure that’s going to come if we keep plugging away. It doesn’t matter what seed you are. You have to beat every team anyways if you want to advance. It’s over now. Let’s start real hockey.”
Observations:
1. The Bruins swept Carolina in last season’s playoffs. This year’s will not be such an easy out.
The Hurricanes are motivated. Petr Mrazek and James Reimer saw crease time in their three-game dispatch of the Rangers. Ex-Bruins defenseman Dougie Hamilton could be back.
“They play fast,” Bruce Cassidy said. “With their attack mode, their (defensemen) get up the ice. They’re a year older. Those teams become dangerous in the playoffs when you have a little experience.”
2. The Bruins’ biggest concern is Carolina’s No. 1 line of Andrei Svechnikov (three goals, two assists), Sebastian Aho (three goals, five assists) and Teuvo Teravainen (one goal, one assist). The turbocharged threesome combined for five five-on-five goals against the Rangers. They didn’t allow a single goal.
Normally, Cassidy would have no reservations about deploying Zdeno Chara and Charlie McAvoy against an opposing first line. This time, Cassidy has something to think about.
Carolina’s top line is fast, quick and slippery. It’s not a good matchup for Chara, who is fighting to knock off five months of rust. During round-robin play, Chara recorded a 42.86 Corsi For rating, per Natural Stat Trick, lowest among Bruins defensemen.
3. The No. 2 line, in flux for the first two games, has something to build on after Sunday. Jake DeBrusk, David Krejci and Ondrej Kase played together for the first time. It won’t be the last.
DeBrusk and Kase played with very good perimeter speed, which stretched out Washington’s defense. DeBrusk pumped in the Bruins’ only goal when he reeled in an errant Kase setup and beat Braden Holtby.
“Krejci’s line looked comfortable,” Cassidy said. “Scored a goal, obviously. They played well, had their legs, made some plays. Ondrej was good on the walls.”
Krejci entered Sunday having played with four wings through the first two games. It showed in his play. With some stability on his wings, Krejci’s game should settle in as well.
4. Three games, zero goals for the No. 1 line. But it submitted its best performance so far against Washington. Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak attacked with pace and executed tighter spacing in the offensive zone.
In 8:55 of five-on-five time, the first line posted an 84 Corsi For percentage. Their first period was their best.
“You look at our top line, they’ve been held off the scoresheet,” Cassidy said. “I believe it’s going to be a tough task for Carolina to do that on a consistent basis. I think those guys will be able to get their game going.”
5. Nick Ritchie had two net-front sniffs in the second period. He thudded his first shot into a down-and-out Brenden Dillon. Holtby, in full scramble mode to stop Anders Bjork, recovered to get square on Ritchie’s second look.
Ritchie, the No. 3 left wing, is the forward most at risk of losing his spot against Carolina. If Cassidy wants to match the Hurricanes’ foot speed, he could flip Bjork to Charlie Coyle’s left side and dress Karson Kuhlman as the No. 3 right wing.
But Ritchie has shown a few examples of his strength on the puck and presence around the net. He should get the first ride.
“Ritchie is good at holding pucks down low,” Cassidy said. “So cycle play should be pretty good once him and Charlie get their chemistry down. I was fine with them.”
6. McAvoy, as usual, was the Bruins’ best all-around defenseman in the round robin. He looked his sharpest on Sunday. McAvoy engaged in battles, initiated rapid exits and joined the rush repeatedly. McAvoy had one of the Bruins’ best scoring chances, but Holtby gloved the defenseman’s second-period snapper.
7. Connor Clifton made his round-robin debut. He didn’t look out of place. Clifton connected with a team-high five hits in 15:39. He kept tight gaps, went up the ice when he saw an opportunity and played physically.
Recklessness can be part of Clifton’s game. Jeremy Lauzon, in contrast, plays with greater caution.
As such, Lauzon is likely to get the first crack alongside Matt Grzelcyk against Carolina. Lauzon earned the chance with his regular-season performance.
But Clifton is a better skater and more likely to make plays with the puck. Cassidy may make a quick switch if Lauzon doesn’t improve. Lauzon did not skate well during the round robin.
8. The Bruins went 0-for-9 on the power play during the round robin. Bergeron landed the only man-up shot on goal against the Capitals. The first unit did not move the puck well enough to convince the Washington penalty killers to vacate their spots.
Cassidy gave Coyle the full-time promotion to net-front presence on the first unit. Whether Coyle stays there against Carolina remains to be seen.
“Our power play,” Cassidy said, “is still a work in progress.”
9. Rask looks ready to go. He couldn’t do anything to stop T.J. Oshie’s short-range jam in the first on Sunday. Tom Wilson, otherwise known as the best goal scorer in the league, beat Rask with an in-tight riser off the rush.
“The first period today, there was nothing going on besides the goal,” said Rask, who had one save in the opening 20 minutes. “But then in the second, they had some looks there on the power play and got me some saves. So I felt good.”
10. The Bruins appear to be at full health. It is a far more important result than seeding.

Brad Marchand on round-robin games: "Those are preseason games. Let's call it what it is."
Let's hope he is right.
