Abused fan syndrome shouldn’t exist in New England anymore.

Even if, logically, the Bruins should win this series 99 times out of 100, Bruins fans believe that this will be that 1 time. It doesn’t matter that they should win, just that they do win.

And, when you consider that the last time they won a playoff series was 1999, winning the first round would be huge for the B’s, regardless of who they played.
