I've watched a Bruins game once in Nashville before. It was 2013 Toronto Game 7. I know that's not a perfect connection but close enough.

Keep this going and take some weight off of Tuukka's back after Tuesday.

Feels like a majority of Bruins fans here. Certainly more than I expected.

The shots don't show it, but this has been utter dominance by Nashville this period. Horrible period by the Bruins

Nashville is really good they just haven't figured out that Rinne sucks and he's trying to torpedo their season all by himself.

Yes, yes they are a good team. They're 26-10-10.

That is a good team, especially playing in the West.
No, no they aren't a good team.

They're 26-21-10 with 62 points which is 6 points less than the Bruins. They currently hold the last wild card spot just 2 points ahead of a shitty Minnesota team.

They're a playoff team in the west. They're pretty good. It's troubling that every time they play a good team they get their fucking doors blown off.
They're 2 points ahead of Minnesota for the last playoff spot, who the Bruins just manhandled last weekend

You don't know what the word good means, do you?
You don't know how to read standings do you? You just told me they're 26-10-10, they're 26-21-10. Apparently you think Minnesota is a good team too then, if you think Nashville is. I realize the west is a tougher conference, but they still have 6 less points than the Bruins either way.

If the Bruins played in that division they'd be fighting it out with Winnipeg and Minnesota for last place. the only difference I see is the Bruins have one of the best coaches in hockey and play in a shit division.

this is fair, and he is definitely their biggest problem, but he is still part of their team either way and plays into how good they actually are. If we could take Kevan Miller out of the equation for the Bruins some nights with the mistakes he's made, the Bruins may have won a couple more games too.

It's all Rinne. If they had league average goaltending this year they'd be in more comfortable playoff positioning. Their peripherals are excellent.

Rinne's had a shitty year. It's killed them (I know, he's also killing my fantasy team). Their roster is much better then both the Bruins and Wild. Also, the Wild quit on their coach, they're not as bad as they looked last week against the Bruins.

I will say Nashville has tremendous blue line talent and they used to have a great goalie (wtf happened to Rinne?). The offense still needs work a bit.

This is fair, but I still wouldn't label Nashville as one of the better teams in the league.

The combination of an inability to keep Nashville from getting the puck into the offensive zone, combined with an inability to get the puck out of their own defensive zone, feels like it is going to make this a really difficult game for the Bruins to come back in.

No one here did.
Well my point was according to the standings they aren't any better than the Bruins right now. I stand by that comment.

I think the Lightning are way more TALENTED than the Bruins right now too, but right now according to the standings they aren't any better than the Bruins at the moment either. not just about talent.

It's basically a fucking AHL game experience here at this arena. Kinda embarrassing.

No one knows what you're trying to say anymore.

So there's a "School of Rock" band of kids that plays in between periods and they've just played Separate Ways by Journey and then busted out Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria. I'm kind of stunned.
