BRUINS NEED TO PLAY A FULL 60 AND THEY WILL

4/22/2014

After coming out flat in game 1 the Bruins were on the attack the second the puck dropped in game  2.  They will need to show that same energy level tonight as the playoffs move to Joe Louis Arena.  With the game in Detroit they will need to sustain that intensity for the entire 60 minutes of play and not have any lapses at the beginning or ending of periods.
As of now it looks like Matt Bartkowski and Justin Florek will be in and Andrej Meszaros and Corey Potter will be out.  This will be Bartkowski's first game in a while as he's been battling the flu.  Florek will be getting to play his first game in Joe Louis Arena which is pretty cool since he's from Michigan. 
After looking pretty foolish and getting a lot of penalties, the Red Wings have decided to play from whistle to whistle and not get dragged into or instigate anything after the whistle.  So I guess we won't see Brendan Smith vs. Zdeno Charo part two.

Looking at some key statistics, the Bruins have better numbers on the road than the Red Wings do at home.  The Bruins average 3.1 goals to the Red Wings 2.5.  The Bruins allow 2.5 goals to the Red Wings 2.8.  The Bruins have better special teams on the road: 22.9% powerplay and 84% penalty kill.  Detroit at home: powerplay 18.8% and penalty kill 81%.


My bold prediction for tonight is that Lucic will get booed loudly and then have a multiple point evening.
