They have great speed, their special teams are strong - including the best power play in the NHL - and their overall defensive play is pretty solid as well. When he is on, Alexei Kovalev can be one of the most dangerous players in the game and he has tons of post-season experience and success. Tomas Plekanec and Andrei Kostitsyn both had good years, as did Christopher Higgins. Although not playoff proven, Carey Price appears to be the real deal in goal.
Boston Bruins
41-29-12 | 94 Points | 8th in East

It's a minor miracle these guys even made it to the playoffs when you consider the injuries they had to deal with, but Claude Julien is a good coach who put in a simple system they execute well. Tim Thomas is a better goalie than often given credit for, and Zdeno Chara bounced back to have a large season. If healthy, Marc Savard is one of the best playmakers in the game. Overall, it is the sum of the parts that makes them tick.
