00:00All right, so here we are, and now we know that the Bruins are facing Buffalo,
00:05who they were 3-1 against this season.
00:09Buffalo lacks a little playoff experience.
00:10Is this the best-case scenario for the Bruins as a wild-card team?
00:16I think so.
00:17I don't think there's any easy roads among the teams that they were potentially going to face,
00:23whether if you included Tampa and Montreal in there up until the last couple of days.
00:27But, you know, as of yesterday, we knew it was going to be Buffalo and or Carolina.
00:32And, you know, this to me is the better matchup.
00:35I just feel like Carolina can be so stifling with their forecheck and force you into bad decisions,
00:42and they take advantage of that, and they've got a lot more playoff experience on that team.
00:48They've been there and done that.
00:50And Buffalo really doesn't.
00:52You know, they're best players.
00:54You know, and they're a good team, and they've had a really great run here from, you know, basically December
01:01on.
01:02They've been one of, if not the best teams in the league.
01:07But what happens when you turn on the bright lights in the playoffs?
01:10It's a totally different animal.
01:12And, you know, can they sustain that over a seven-game series against a team like Boston,
01:18who's going to play them physical?
01:20You know, we've seen a little bit of nastiness between these two teams at times this year.
01:26So, you know, they've already seen each other four times.
01:29It should be a fun matchup, and I think it's one that could end up going pretty deep in the
01:34series.
