So the Sharks advance. Would legit rather face them if we go to the SCF. They've gone to 7 twice in a row and I think we're faster than them. Blues scare the poo out of me.

Should be an interesting SCF.  I felt like both San Jose and St. Louis play physical enough to lock horns with the Bruins without getting out of their own game.  Turned out St. Louis was also able to outdo San Jose in that respect by a noticeable amount.

The Blues look like the freshest team still in the playoffs.  They are a younger than the Bruins, about as much as they were younger than San Jose.  It showed vs. the Sharks, but part of that may have been due to the Sharks also having to go 7 in their first two series, including facing 3 elimination games vs. Vegas. At some point that takes a toll.
