Bruins v. Maple Leafs

[finsterfan]

Ottawa won in OT. 

Nothing like a drop pass to your D man who is standing still when your in shooting position in the slot.

 

[TSC]

Is the nhl.com standings right? Is Boston 3rd in the east now?

They haven't factored in Detroit's win yet.

 

[TSC]

They haven't factored in Detroit's win yet.

Ah. Thanks

 

[Red Right Ankle]

Yeah nothing has changed except the Bs are a little closer to WAS and PIT.

 

[Ed Hillel]

The Bruins have done everything right, but everything else has gone precisely wrong the last few games outside of that. Pressure is still on.

 

[Myt1]

Honestly? They're not playing well - at all.

But they've been lucky. And sometimes luck is all you need.

Tuukka's been incredible, with the exception of the fluky soft five hole goal a couple games ago.

So, Krecji came back, Chara started to skate really well (before taking one off the top of the foot), Tuukka is turning out playoff-quality starts, Connolly started and bumped Campbell out of the lineup, Spooner Lucic and Pastrnak discovered they work really well together, and Krecji is now our first line wing.  I have thought this team was DONE multiple times, but they're starting to play well at the right time, and it gives me hope that we could get hot and go on a run. 

8 seeds have won the Cup with less. And presidents trophy winners have sucked with more.

The regular season Does. Not. Matter.

 

[TFP]

Then again, it sure fucking matters if you don't make the playoffs.

 

[veritas]

Was at the game, only TSC mentioned it, but I thought Connolly looked great. At times seemed like he was thinking too much when Toronto had possession but really looks like a top 6 guy. Pretty big guy, has speed, can handle the puck, heavy shot, effort on defense. Lots to like

 

[McDrew]

Bergeron's a couple tables away from me at Brunch. He doesn't look like he's having a lot of fun chewing. Mad respect to him for playing through it.

Chara is in tomorrow whilst Dougie is not traveling on the road trip.  Your our best hope, Zach Trotman.
