A little late, but did anyone see that Bruins/Leafs game and that one even-strength shift the Lucic/Krejci/Horton line had? I think it was in the 3rd period. Absolutely DOMINANT shift, just wore them down, had to be at least a minute and a half, maybe two minutes, maybe more, of puck possession based on a beautiful combo of physical aggression/forechecking and short passes. Absolutely amazing, that team is just hitting its stride and I would not be surprised at all if they break the barrier against teams winning back to back Cups which we haven't seen since the 97-98 Wings. Depth all-around and a stellar goaltending tandem. What a team.
That said, I would love to see the Habs get another crack at them in the post-season. As much as the Habs have had a tough/poor start, if they can scrounge up a nice winning streak and put themselves in a playoff spot, their speed could wreak havoc against the Bruins much like it did in last year's series, and with a Markov back by then (cross fingers!) that would add a whole other dimension, could be another epic series.
