Between here and everywhere.
The Bruins have really been riding the Islanders hard all series. Absolutely giving it to them. They haven't gotten to come from behind yet, but they've had a few real memorable explosions that gave us all great pleasure.

Let's get on top, and finish the Islanders early. No pre-mature celebrations in this game.

Okay...yet again....

Avoid retaliatory penalties and win. They are smoking the Islanders 5v5, just play clean and beat them.

The Isles remind me of the pre-Hall Bruins quite a bit. They've got one line that can reliably create offense, and the rest of their roster is a bunch of grinders. They rely on stacking up in front of their goaltender and hoping that he can stop whatever gets through and that they can clean up rebounds before the opposition does. And if their first line isn't carrying them, they need to cash in whatever odd-man opportunities or greasy goals they can.

The Isles, like the pre-Hall Bruins, are a "second-round team." The Bruins now are not.

Keep generating chances, find the rebounds, and win. It's that simple.

Shots from the right side to the left side, bury those rebounds that have been there all series.

No way Carlo should play even if he's feeling great. Him still be around the team is great news. Give him tonight off for some extra rest and be cautious, and win anyway.

Told you winning was much more fun than losing. We should do it again just to make sure. For science.

I’m glad someone knowledgeable said this because I know very little about hockey except for watching the Bruins in the playoffs for fifty years...and for all the tire pumping they were giving Varlamov during game three...man it sure looked like he was giving up dangerous rebounds all night and just got lucky none of those got buried. Bruins by six.

PK suffers a lot with no Carlo. Any McAvoy penalty will be an especially tough 2 minutes to kill. Stay out of the box and I think you have a chance to close it out Monday. Go Bs!

Not to take anything away from Varlamov. He stood on his head, no doubt. It just seems is is prone to giving up the rebound on the low shots from the slot, even the outside. Just keep putting them on and crashing and I like their chances.
