Thoughts?
Colorado puckline, too much firepower for Winnipeg to handle in my opinion
I do like all 4 games to go over the posted total, as all 4 teams facing elimination today

That's how I feel, too. I'm not sure if many have noticed that this series has unfolded exactly as last year's disastrous 1st round series did against the Panthers. The Bruins casually won that first game 3-1 but were then stunned in Game 2. Then they traveled to Florida where they won both Games 3 and 4 by more than a goal, just as they did in Toronto. The Bruins returned home with most expecting them to wrap it up, no problem. Instead, the Panthers scored first. The Bruins tied it, but the Panthers kept going ahead. The Bruins tied the game 3-3 midway through the 3rd period before the game went into overtime. It was there that the Bruins were victimized by an unlucky carom off the boards that led to a wide open net for the Panthers, and just like that the path towards disaster was set for Games 6 and 7.
If the Bruins fail to get rid of the Maple Leafs tonight, many Bruins fans are going to realize that the SAME THING is happening in this 1st round series. Those that aren't aware will be made aware by the media. The pressure on the Bruins in Game 6 in Toronto will be ridiculous because of the threat of another unwanted Game 7. If I'm the Bruins, tonight's Game 5 isn't just any old closeout opportunity. This is a must win. I expect the Bruins to show up with their game faces on, and even morseo becaue they now know who their 2nd round opponent will be - the Florida Panthers.

@MrBator
My thoughts exactly! I feel the fans already know the situation or at least they should, and even they will bring everything like it is a must win. It looks to easy but sometimes it is.

MrBator.....I was at that Game 5 Boston / Florida.....Brad Marchand with a breakaway with about 5 seconds left in the 3rd.....I thought he was going to end it right there but didn't happen and the rest is history.....and you are right, this series does look eerily similar.....with that being said GO BROOONS!!!
