Krejci is a big loss, but the Bruins are probably deepest at Center, they can roll out Savard, Bergeron, and Sobotka. Sobotka, might be my favorite Bruin, the kid is physical as hell, and plays with a long ass stick. Sturm has sucked lately, hasn't been scoring at all, but you will always miss veteran winger, who can play all 3 zones in the playoffs. The Bruins really need to get Mark Stuart back on D if they are to get passed Pittsburgh. I think Rask can steal a game on his own. The question I have is can the Bruins score enough to win, they have good balance but not a true sniper.
If that series happens, I am sure the Matt Cooke, Savard hit will be all the media talks about, it will be a non issue, no one will take a run at Cooke.
The Bruins need to tighten up their D, and stop relying on Rask to ball them out if they are to get pass the Pens.
