Boston has played a seven-game series to start each of the past three postseasons, and in coach Claude Julien's six playoff seasons the Bruins have played seven games in the first round four times, according to NHL.com.
"I don't know, it just seems to be the biggest battle for us and the hardest one to get through," forward Milan Lucic said. "I don't think it's going to be any different heading into this series. So we've got to be prepared to bring our best because you talk about the last three years, you know the other team hasn't taken us lightly at all and they've given us their best. And maybe we kind of overlooked, I guess, the other team a little too much where we kind of got ourselves into holes and got into a Game 7 overtime situation the last three years. So hopefully our mindset is where it needs to be in order for us to bring our best."
The Red Wings will be dealing with a physical team that could grind them out throughout the course of a series.
"Sure, the Bruins and some of the other teams from the East are physical, but we played Anaheim last year and they're big and physical," forward Gustav Nyquist said. "I think the biggest thing is the travel. You don't have to travel three different time zones, and that affects you more than you know."
