Following their 6-2 victory against the Panthers on Sunday, the Boston Bruins now lead the series 3-1. And this, without the presence of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci.
On the other hand, if by some miracle, the Panthers manage to come back and make it to the semifinals, the second first-round pick of the Habs would become the 29th overall. Ouch!
For once, the Bruins, who are the sworn enemy of the Canadiens, will be able to count on the support of Montreal fans.
After all, two picks in the top 17 (including one in the top 7) is something to take during a rebuilding process, isn't it? Much more than a 29th pick.
