Why change anything, given it’s working just fine. They don’t have the offensive depth to hang with Boston, so they’re trying to goon it up and get the Bruins off their game. It’s not working. At all. Keep doing what they’re doing and they close this series out on Wednesday.,

Nah that's exactly the game they want us to play. Our guys, especially McAvoy, are doing great jobs at legally lighting them up and not engaging with the extra garbage, what is what they're hoping to achieve.

I don't have the exact statistics on this but I think the Bruins franchise has lost maybe 4 game 5s at home up 3-1 in last 20-25 years. I know, doesn't mean anything really. But just get this thing over with in 5.

Winning is the best vengeance.

Is a slim line between exacting revenge and doing something stupid that costs a series.

Just play hard. React when called for.
I am really proud of Brad. He has really stepped up his leadership role. He isn't reacting badly when Florida pulls their goonish stuff.

McAvoy is lighting guys up all over the ice. Keep doing that. Don’t worry about the post whistle shenanigans and just keep winning.
Reminds me of Ference waiting for the right moment to blow someone up with a clean hit after an an opponent had been taking liberties (e.g. Steve Ott in 2008).

You take the power play and the take numbers during the playoffs, get payback when it doesn't hurt your chances of winning a cup. Only exception is protecting the goalie.

First game next year make sure you have guys who can maim Tkachuk and Gudas.
