The Bruins, who once looked like a lock to win the 1st seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, have seen that lead dwindle to 4 points. The good news is that the Kings are terrible on the road, and the Bruins should be well rested after having a couple days off.
The problem with the Bruins is that they don't play a full game. Take last game for an example, they were in control of that game till they let up 4 3rd period goals and lost the game 6-4. As I said earlier I think they need to go back to being a dump and chase team. Let the offense set up, and keep the other team from making quick breakouts. The goals don't all need to be pretty, and I think that was what coach Julien was trying to get across when he called out Savard (read earlier post, if you don't know what I am talking about).
I expect the Bruins to come out strong tonight, and put away this team early.
The game starts at 7pm on NESN.
