One of the most interesting first round match ups is set between the Bruins and Senators, two teams separated by just two points in the standings. These clubs have shared similar stories this season, with slow starts turning into successful seasons and suddenly playoff threats.
The Senators turnaround came mostly from within the original roster, with Triix and Kingly leading the way with 83 pts and 51 pts respectively. Without the early trade to acquire Kingly at the start of the season, Ottawa could very well be sitting without a playoff berth. Overall, this is a team with phenomenal offensive depth but a very thin blue line. SgtVandoos has done a great job this season facing over 380 shots, trailing only VeZzZy for save % with this volume of shots faced. If Ottawa’s defense can’t figure it out, this will be a very short series.
Boston relied on deft moves by Pete. The team sat 15th in the league before Grippinq was traded in a package for DodgesBlueShells, one of the best shut down D-men in SP. From there, moves to acquire TheAppler (1.9 PTS/G) and major contributions from LeCupidon (3.1 PTS/G) turned the season around. However, Rambo will need to step up from a poor .745 sv% (among the worst for goaltenders with over 12 GP) if the Bruins stand a chance.
One of the most interesting moves came just before the deadline as Triix and Pete pulled off a trade with Dangles and Steel heading to Ottawa while Dynasty and Hippy came back to Boston for some positional depth.
On paper, these are two very evenly matched teams. The offensively talented Senators vs. the defensive Bruins.
Here’s how they matched up this season:
Season Series SENATORS:
3-2-0
Total pts: 6
GF: 18
GA: 16
Season Series BRUINS:
2-1-2
Total pts: 6
GF: 16

Players to watch:
OTTAWA
Diirty_Triix_13 (F)
kinglyme89 (F)
SgtVandoos (G)
BOSTON
LeCupidon (F)
DodgesBlueShells (D)
Pistolpete7788 (F/D)
Doesn’t get much closer than this.
Series Prediction: Bruins in 7
