Marchand is 1 point behind McDavid for the league lead.

I don't think he'll get a nomination due to his reputation and media bias' toward Sid and McDavid, but he should absolutely get Hart consideration. Just a remarkable season for him. It's not even some crazy shooting percentage bender either, he has just been outstanding night in and night out. Jack just said Marchand has 43(!!!) point in their last 29 games. Absurd.

I do wonder if the Bruins' resurgence and potential climb in the standing won't help Marchand though. Obviously he's not winning over either of the Chosen Ones (and frankly I think it should be McDavid), but he should get some real support.

Nicking the Art Ross would be pretty sweet too.

Since Butch took over, the Bruins have scored 6 goals in 5 of the 15 games he has coached and have scored 4 goals in another 4 games, so that's 4 or more goals in 9 of 15 games. That's pretty incredible.

They are scoring 3.9 goals per game over that stretch, which is unreal.

I saw stats a few games into Cassidy's era that the D-men (as a unit) were averaging almost a point more a game. I'd like to check in on that. Is there an easy way to aggregate stats for a team's roster over a set period?

Just read that article on Marchand and was coming here. Like the author seems to, I doubt he cracks the top 3, but he absolutely should.

They scored 20 goals in the final 5 games under Julien. Cassidy has made adjustments, but they were due for an uptick in goals and the goal scoring turn around really started before the coaching change.

My men's league team Sunday night had 5 guys show, the other team had 10. We actually outplayed them but our goalie had a brutal first half (2x25 minutes halves...no clue why) and we were down 4-0. Scored our first with 15 to go, then another 4 minutes later. 4-3 with 6 to go and we finally tied it up with 3 to go. Won it in the shootout.

The other team is actually pretty solid- they beat us the last time we met, but they totally got suckered into playing at our pace. Not a happy group after the game.

I know talking about your men's league team is like your fantasy team, but I've never quite seen that. I was gassed after that one.

Khudobin in net tonight. Spooner is likely to return; Cehlarik and Czarnik out.

Flames have won 10 straight. This is the second time this year the Bruins have faced a team on a double digit win streak. Should be a good test.

Today is the one year anniversary of the day I jinxed the 2015/2016 Bruins season. I will try not to do that this year. I still have nightmares.

A bit reminiscent of Chris Kelly's injury. No contact, leg just gave out. Hopefully it's something less serious than a broken femur

Unless he's thinking briefly about changing directions before getting chopped—or attempting a jitterbug maneuver—that looks like an LCL strain and three weeks off... Dang. (Thanks for the visual. I think.)

Never, ever have any luck getting a good feed there—just layered banner ads, error messages and exhortations to update my flash player that just requires too much frickin' maintenance for my tastes. I mean, just how often is one expected to be updating this stuff? Ridiculous.
