After game 1, I am very pleased to announce that the Boston Bruins will easily win this series in 6 games. I base this on several factors.
First, a 1-0 loss, against a hot goalie, on the road, with 20 seconds left in front of a rabid crowd, is pretty much a win. With an early couple of goals in game 2, the bruins should overwhelm an obviously inferior opponent. The refs were (albeit for both teams) awful in game 1, and allowed far too much crap to go on. So bad in fact, that if there is a blow out, I fully expect Hamhuis to be destroyed for his blatant attempt to injure Lucic with a low hip check to the knees and also Burrows for his stupid move against Bergeron.
Secondly, the Bruins completely outplayed the Canucks in game 1 who should have been blown out other than some poor shooting by the Bruins and some great goaltending by Luongo. I do not expect either to continue.
