Well, nice to see everyone's excited for this one.

Based on Bruins twitter, which is based on the Bruins' rushes:

39-37-14
72-46-21
63-51-11
25-41-36

33-48
47-54
62-86

40
50

Morrow sits again. Kevan Miller continues to play.

He's been a key component of Claude's PK. Someone should let Claude know that KM has sucked at that too.
Just looking at power play goals against, the Bruins best PK defensemen this year have been Krug and Cross (they have combined to allow 2 PPG in 30 minutes of short handed ice time). By contrast, Chara is at 10 PPGA in 40 minutes and Miller is 9 PPGA in 43 minutes. McQuaid is slightly but not much better.

Anyone think Claude will try something different than "lean heavily on Chara/KMiller/McQuaid on the PK"? Me, either.

I just can't comprehend how good this PP1 unit is. Never seen anything like it for the B's before.

Looking good from what I see but I'm late to the party. Any rationale for moving Marchand down? Shaking it up? Punishment?

Amazing how big Chara is in person. Everyone else looks like a hobbit next to him. Dude is huge.

Claude trolled me. Cut Krug's ice time way down (16 minutes) and played Miller (24) nearly as much as Chara (27).

Nice win to salvage the trip. It's going to be a bumpy ride here.

Free Morrow, fire K. Miller into the sun.

Crept down to the fifth row in the corner near the Bruins net in the third. Crowd was frustrated with the Islanders' failure to crack the B's defense- lots of patty cake between the Islanders defensemen at the point because the Bruins were shitting them down very well.

Last NHL game I went to in person was on Hartford. The tix we were given (row 8 of the second ring) were face $350. WTF? That's crazy.
