tough for me to think that Horton's absence will improve the bruins. He's their best scorer. Even if they get a boost, they just lost their best scorer. Obviously, if Thomas plays out of his mind they have a chance. But i just don't see the bruins being able to beat vancouver 3 out of 4 games without Horton. Remember, Horton has been so critical late in the series. He got the game 7 winner against montreal and the game 7 winner against tampa bay. Then again, what the heck do i know? lol.
