T.M. Selection: Bruins.

With a line like this, clearly the oddsmakers think these teams are really evenly matched. And for the most they really are. In fact, I'll admit that it would not be too difficult to write a convincing argument for either side to come out on top in this first game and in this series overall. But after the way the Bruins lost in the first round last year, I'm expecting Boston to come out super focussed on the task at hand tonight. And that'll be enough to turn the tables in favor of the home side in my opinion.

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Boston.
