I picked Boston to win this series, and here is what I said prior to Game 1: "The first thing I look at in any best of seven series is the goaltending. The Maple Leads lost seven of their goalie's last 10 starts, allowing a whopping 35 goals in those games.

Boston was one of the league's hottest teams in the second half. Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and Zedno Chara in the playoffs. Boston with their tough defense and the home ice will be the difference maker here tonight. Bruins advance!
