I truly think getting a break by winning early is bs. It never happens. I'd love to see the actual stats on it. It always seems like when a team sits for a week or more, then end up being out of sink and getting rolled. Yet every year people talk about how surprised they are that the team that had the break lost.

More goalie contact on the first 2 BOS goals than TB ever did to Bob… Yet TB got screwed bc “they had their time”

I believe the sens will try and trade pinto for ullmark seems like that will fulfill both teams needs

ALL bets should ALWAYS be off when it comes to post season games, no matter what sport it is because it's a "new" season and players are PUMPED. The B's certainly showed that, at least in game 1. And with Swayman being on his game, leave him in...it's not like he's skating up and down the ice while out there.

The bruins winning wasn’t as much as a surprise as the scoring being more than a one goal difference I have loved Swayman since he joined the team and have been hoping he’d break through and get a chance to ; finally Monty gave him the reins this year and he’s taken off After Bergeron, Sway was my favourite bruin (and also favourite active player) and he continues to get better every year-I am still upset Sweeney tried to low ball him last summer, and I hope they get him locked in long term this summer because WOW dude learned from Tuukka Rask after he stole the backup job from Halak the divisional bubble year, not a bad mentor lol

Disney has done you a disservice. There are TWO train of thoughts: 1 yes, more rest is better.
