I'm guessing MacEachern will be in the lineup until/unless he goes cold. If Drury can't go, will be interesting to see if Brind'Amour turns to Stepan or puts one of the Chicago call-ups on the ice. Can't take NYI for granted, but with a 3-1 edge now's the time to put a rookie on the ice for playoff experience if you think you might need it later on.
Puljujarvi did throw his body around in Game 4, although he still had only 1 shot in 11 minutes including over 2 minutes of PP time.
In other news, Florida vs Boston going 7. Can the Panthers pull off the miracle?
I don't know if I would call it a miracle if the Panthers eliminate the Bruins in the 1st round, everyone knows about the President's Trophy curse in the NHL!
Over the last 15 years, only 2 President's Trophy winners, the Blackhawks in 2013 and the Redwings in 2008, won the Stanley Cup, most have lost in the 1st or 2nd round, the curse is real.
For a moment there I thought we were going to have to have a game 7, but thankfully Aho tied the game. Once that happened I knew our boys were winning it in overtime.
I have my complaints about Rod but this team has won at least one post-season series every year since he's been here. That's nothing to scoff at, that's quite an accomplishment.

He's only the third coach in history to accomplish that in his first 5 seasons.
I guess if it was easy, everyone would be doing that.
We'll see what happens in Round 2. Given the absence of Pacioretty, Svechnikov, and Teraveinen, just winning Round 1 is reason to celebrate even if the Canes go no further. I believe the key to going deep is strong play by Anderson and Raanta. With hot goalies, the Canes can win games where they score 3 or fewer goals.
Florida might win game 7, but if they don't the Bruins have been exposed as mortal. At times this month, their injury list has included Krejci, Bergeron, Ullmark, McAvoy, Orlov, and Hall. They may still be playing but those guys are banged up and they're not likely to get back to 100% during the playoffs... especially if their second-round opponent pushes them to a 7th game. Bergeron is 37, Krejci is 36.
