Holy shit, what a huge two points. Great win, and it didn't feel like they played their best. Now go close it out against Tampa on Tuesday.

Between here and everywhere.
Can't believe they won this game. This is a game the Bruins of the last two seasons lose.

Dobby saved 42 shots tonight against one of the best teams in the league. Great fucking win.

4 must-have points on a tricky back-to-back. 3 more games; get 4 points in those 3 and they are almost certainly in the playoffs.

42? Holy shit. Tired team in front of him too, and he came up huge. Great work, he earned his contract today.
Pretty ballsy to play him, too. Short turnaround and Rask is obviously better with rest, but no one would give a coach shit if he went with #1 in must win playoff push and Rask was shit, while going with #2 and losing would be the coach's fault.

Last season they had the late season, early NBC Sunday game in Chicago in a similar spot fighting for their lives and fell behind 6-0.

Good point. Cassidy has the luxury of Dobby having won his last 5 starts and clearly seeing the puck well, but yeah the easier choice would have been Rask.

Haggs says they clinch with a regulation win on Tuesday. I think the math holds up - it'd give the Bruins 94 and max Tampa at 94.

Yep. Win on Tuesday or win the last two games to get to 96 and clinch since TBL can't get more than 96 and 39 ROWs.
