The Boston Bruins and the New Jersey Devils are built upon two very conflicting philosophies.
Kyle comes from the Warren Buffet School of value investing, making very few but calculated moves that solidify his team drastically over time. Players like Zetterberg, Getzlaf, Seabrook, Kesler and Callahan have become Bruins in BBKL and have not been shopped, let alone moved, ever again.
Scott's allegiance is to the nothing-is-untouchable-as-long-as-my-team-is-better doctrine, where multiple trades are made every week, adding value inch-by-inch with every trade. This past week saw Scott’s magic in action as the Devils added superstars Toews and Neal to further the belief that haunts fans in Pittsburgh and Washington alike: The Devils are favourites to repeat as BBKL Champions.
To beat the Devils this week, the Bruins will need Tim Thomas to be on his game. The former Vezina winner is once again making a bid for the Trophy and will be an X-factor to Kyle winning this match-up. Conversely, the Devils look to dominate the skater categories to take over the week, but it won’t be easy. The Bruins are one of the few teams in the league capable of out-producing the Devils in periphery statistics.
The Boston Bruins are vying for revenge for being eliminated by the Devils in the BBKL Eastern Conference Finals last season. The Devils are looking to improve their 29-0-2 unbeaten streak.
Week 7. This is the main event.
