The Lightning have been firing on all cylinders during the current playoff round versus the Bruins. Tampa Bay has a high flying group of sharpshooters which have proven to be somewhat of a problem for Tim Thomas and the Bruins' blue liners. Young forwards like Purcell and Bergenheim are consistently good and Stamkos and Lecavelier are always a problem for opponents. The Bruins have to come out tonight and keep the Bolts back peddling. The B's are stronger and they have an in your face game that should put Tampa on their heels. Once the Bruins lose control of the middle of the middle of the ice, it's game over.
The obvious question here is how far can Tampa go on the back of a 41 year old goaltender. Roloson looks a little tired and more heroics could be hard to come by. Tim Thomas is ten times the goalie that Roloson is on any night. Thomas led the Bruins past the Habs and he was a big reason that the Flyers were sent packing with ease. Bergeron, Chara, and Seguin will also have to play a decisive role if Boston is to take a lead tonight. This team is better rounded than Tampa and they will have to take it up a notch. Our writers have been on top of Boston all year so we have high expectations.
Boston is a beast when they are locked and loaded. The question is, which Boston team will show up tonight ???
