TORONTO — Charles Barkley tried his hand at hockey prognosticating again. The Bruins hope it goes as well as it did last time.
Barkey, who incorrectly guaranteed a Toronto victory in Game 4, crossed over from the NBA on TNT to the NHL’s TBS set again before Game 6.

They started by asking Barkley if he were Toronto coach Sheldon Keefe, what he’d say to his team before the game.
“You don’t say anything. You’ve played this team five games,” the Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer said. “Everybody knows everybody. Just go win the game. There were times when we had a bunch of crap on the board (when Barkley was playing). I’d come in and just erase it. We played this team six times. We just have to win the game.”
Barkley said he’d heard the chirping about his Game 4 pick.
“Tonight we get our revenge. The Toronto Maple Leafs win,” he said and pressed his guarantee button and yelled. “Guaranteed!”
Barkley has had lots of Boston opinions of late. He suggested who the Celtics should want to play in the second round on Wednesday.
