Game 1 was a breeze for the Bruins, but don't think for a second it's going to be this easy for the entire series, as the Flyers have a hell of a team. The big question, as it always seem to be for Philly is what kind of goaltending are they going to get. They have elected to keep Brian Boucher in net tonight, which I think is a mistake.
No matter who is in net the Flyers aren't going to do a damn thing if they don't play a lot better defense. Sure Boucher was bad, but the Fylers were letting the Bruins get very easy roads to the front of the net, and even the most inept offenses are going to score when you do that.
Tonight I think there are once again going to be a lot of goals scored, and I actually think Boston will win. I just don't like Boucher and don't trust him at all, and until they changed him I'm not going to pick the Flyers to win a game. Look for guys like Lucic to really get going tonight and charge that net, because unless the Flyers start playing some defense it's easy to do.
Bruins win 5-3
Player of the Game: Lucic
