Andrew 'Razor' Raycroft joins WEEI Afternoons to discuss the Bruins' playoff series against the Sabres, offering his analysis on the team's performance and strategy. He confirms that the series is unfolding exactly as he predicted, with the Bruins controlling tempo and pace despite early setbacks. Raycroft praises the Bruins' second line for its chemistry, spacing, and triangle-based play, emphasizing how their cohesion translates to both offense and defense. He also highlights the critical goaltending advantage with Jeremy Swayman over UPL Lukonen, suggesting that Buffalo's goaltending issues could be decisive. Raycroft urges the Bruins to avoid unnecessary fights, arguing that physical dominance has already been established and further brawls risk giving Buffalo life. He also commends the Bruins' third line for their energy and composure in high-pressure moments, especially in their home-ice advantage at TD Garden, which he attributes to consistency, identity, and crowd energy. The episode closes with a wrap-up of major Boston sports news, including the Patriots' statement and other league developments.
