No I see it the opposite. Florida will be so happy they pulled such a huge upset they’ll be cannon fodder to the loafs.
Should Boston come back in this one I think they get their shit together after such a scare and take the loafs out.
But right now it looks like Boston is playing “how the fuck did this happen?” Hockey, and that ain’t good.

With Tampa's loss, this years' Tampa Bay selection could be as high as #19 (if Florida beats Boston in game 7and reaches the conference finals, which is unlikely) and most likely in the low 20s depending on how the first round plays out.

Epic fail by Boston. They’ll never have a season like that again.
Ridiculous fail.

You could just feel that coming all throughout overtime.

You really could, yeah.
There will be no more complaints about how the division playoff setup “isn’t fair” by leafs fans or media! Lol

Once Bruins were up 3 games to 1 they started playing sloppy hockey. Way too overconfident. Ullmark choked where was their top line as well? No tears shed here. Epic Fail big time.

Avs also bounced with Nate’s new contract kicking in. Welcome to cap hell.

I think Bergeron is done.
If they look to the past, the year the hawks worked their asses off to win the presidents trophy, 1991, also saw them bounced in the first round. A bit of retooling next season…not much as I recall…and a different emphasis on the regular season race ended up with the best hawks team in decades, before and after, and a trip to the finals. Boston could do the same but it’ll be tough. I think Ullmark will never have a year like that again, not even close. So if swayman isn’t good either their goaltending will screw them royally.

Bruins are too old to repeat a season like they just had. Bergeron and Krejci are both FA and had absurd seasons for the miles and age. It’s over for them but Seth Jones could be their missing ingredient for success.

Everyone's brackets just got destroyed. Avs, Bruins and the Bolts are all out.
The first round of the playoffs is always a coin toss. If you make it past that, the good teams will start to get their mojo going forward. The Bruins didn't make it. The Avs didn't make it. Now it's up the to the rest to figure out who wins.
I personally loved both game sevens last night. I just spent 6+ hours watching hockey heaven. Downed at least as many beers as I watched periods. Great results, too.
Honestly, the Panthers-Bruins game was a lot slower tempo than the Kraken-Avs or even the Bolts-Leafs. I don't think it bodes well for the Panthers. Unless they manage to slow down the Leafs considerably. The Kraken, however, they play a fast game and smart, too. I don't think the Stars should underestimate them. This is a team with nothing to lose. And they hound you.
The Panthers also forechecked well, and the Bruins got in a lot of unneccessary trouble in their own zone by playing too slow. I think they were still in regular season mode. That shit won't cut it. The perils of first round hockey. Some are ready, some aren't. The Leafs seem ready. They will cut through the Panthers. The Kraken will be a tough out for the Stars. I don't even know who wins. Dallas has the quality of players, and depth. But it's going to be damn close. Grubauer plays so well right now, and that's huge.
