You're crazy!
I do agree for Boston to have a chance Thomas has to be Conn Smythe/Ken Dryden/Epic Playoff legend status.
I might be eating my words later in the series, but I would be shocked if Boston puts in more than 3 PP goals even if the series goes 7. The Lightning who have no where near the PK that Vancouver has kept them to minimal Power Play goals. Their Power Play just looked awful in the games I watched.
The lightning only had one great line to stop, and that worked out OK for Boston. But you cant have Chara/Seidenberg play head to head against Sedin^2/Burrows AND Kessler/Raymond/Higgins. As good as Chara/Seidenberg are, the bruins overall just aren't deep enough at the blue line to compete with 3 solid forward lines for the canucks.
Just my horribly biased opinion. GO CANUCKS GO!
