When critics gauge the offensive talent of a team, they tend to look at the top line or even the top-six forwards.

For the second year in a row, the Bruins find themselves up 3-0 against the Philadelphia Flyers. Unlike last year, the Bruins looked to rewrite history and not lose control of this series.
