Man, I guess I overrated Boston in the last month and underrated Carolina. My perspective has changed a bit after seeing this. 

Hey Omega,

Not sure how decisive numbers can be...you know about stats and how you might chuck 'em out the window after 1 game lol.

But I would say Carolina has really clamped down with the D since Andersen was injured.  2.93 GA/G and Raanta has really stepped up since Steady Freddie hurt himself.

Cheers

Hey bud...Bruins have to go with Ullmark for sure, but it's his first time in the post-season on the big stage!

We'll see how he does with that hurricane swirling all around him.

BOL  

I can't wait to see how this one unfolds. Don't know why my gut keeps saying Boston which means CAROLINA all the way LOL. 

The place will be electric for sure!!!  Can Ullmark handle the big stage?

 Really starting to think Carolina takes Game 1. 

I haven't had a chance to actually look, what with doing this little mini-stat thing.  But I'll get there.  

No doubt Carolina has the home edge (ice or not...parking lot advantage, maybe, whatever lol).

Cheers  

Rantaa, Carolina's starting goalie has never had a playoff start either. 

Didn't even realize that, BlackBeers...thank you...and after watching the 1st P, Carolina may be trying to protect their goal a little too much.

Let's Fucking Go Carolina!!!
