Preview:

YESS NOT A MAPLE LEAFS PREVIEW FINALLY. YAY

So pretty much the series preview was covered in Servo's article. Go read it. All the ways the Bruins can beat the Rangers are contained within. As for tonight, it's key for the Bruins to get off to a good start and

wait

apparently Brad Marchand got injured in morning skate.

COULD THE DREAD PIRATE MAKE HIS PLAYOFFS DEBUT?

Marchand made little to no impact on the series against the Maple Leafs, and many have been calling for him to sit anyway....this could end up being really interesting.

Massive game 1 tonight it is gonna be low scoring hard hitting #2-1BruinsWin maybe even in OT #LucicseriesMVPbecause he's a beast
