It’s not a total surprise the Boston Bruins are in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but their opponent is a bit shocking.
Having put the finishing touches on their first-round series with a 5-1 Game 7 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs, the B’s now will take on the Columbus Blue Jackets in the conference semifinals. The Blue Jackets, who snuck into the postseason as the second wild card, pulled off a stunner by sweeping the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round.
In this episode of the “NESN Bruins Podcast,” NESN.com’s Mike Cole and Logan Mullen preview the upcoming matchup from top to bottom, and offer their predictions for the best-of-seven series.
