I was surprised by Boston's energy levels in Game 1, as it went through a gruelling seven game series vs. Toronto in the first round. The Blue Jackets clearly had some rust to shake off after being off for over a week after dispatching the Lightning in four games in their first round series. The Bruins are the better team here and I like them on their home ice tonight.

The Blue Jackets may have difficulty recovering from the hangover after sweeping the top seeded Tampa Bay Lightening.
