lol Wasn't sure if you were here, Wally.

No free beer tonight!!!
After the 1st, I was glad I forgot to bet on this game. Thanks for toughing it out Bruins! It’s only funny money.

 

[PB37]

Rask and Marchand were elite tonight, especially Rask.

 

[missingchicklet]

This team just keeps on piling up the points, even when it doesn't play particularly well. Rask was magnificent tonight. The Bs gave the Devils far too many good chances. Hope the new pairings gel quickly because tonight they were shaky at times. Charlie clearly means so much to the Bs. Also, need to give Carlo some props. He played really well. Not sure what was up with Krejci but it was mistake after mistake after mistake from him. One of the worst games I can remember him playing. Brutal on offense and defense.

First line was amazing again. They carried the team tonight other than Rask. Man is this streak ever incredible.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

An ugly win but we will take it. Props to Rask, he stole this one. Going forward we may struggle against other desperate teams as we are comfortably in a playoff spot.

Yeah , McAvoy was certainly missed . Onto Ottawa ! I would give Rask a much deserved break and play Khoudobin on Thursday.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Crazy good. I think the AS break comes at a good time, looks like a little slow down. Time off will do wonders

 

[BruinLVGA]

Rask in Japanese monster form & that's all she wrote for NJ.

Now let's see what happens with Marchand and that play with Johansson. I would say that it is at best inconclusive: could have done it on accident-purpose or just accidental. I think & hope no discipline.

2 UU 2K K and 2 outstanding saves on the second period breakaway!

 

[Southpaw123]

Rask won this game for us for sure! Lot of NE boys on that Devils team I was surprised. Laughed at the end of the game when one of the guys joked, "hey forgot about that #10 on the other team." Welp, Jimmy Hayes not getting much love back in the bean.

Been on such a roll lately must be due for a few stinkers.Rask said go ahead I got this tonite..

 

[Emerz]

First line is doing some heavy lifting lately.

Also Rask was brilliant, as usual.

 

[Pia8988]

Watch Brad finish with 39 now

 

[Grimey]

How this team keeps getting points is unreal. Even when they shouldn't have won, they won.

Also HAHA the Habs let a goal in with 11 seconds left. Too bad they somehow won a game. They're still the real losers in my opinion.

Let’s hope. Have to see it again. Not sure if he was falling. I thought that Johannson took him out initially

 

[Lockheed]

Rask and Marchand got us this game. Surprised how noticeably weaker the transition game was without McAvoy. Marchand sitting a few games is not going to help.

 

[KnightofBoston]

The difference Charlie makes for this team is especially obvious when he's not playing


But good teams guy out wins, and New Jersey isn't a bottom feeder this year either. Good win, tuukka deserves the lion share of credit

 

[Bruinaura]

*runs around....

(One moment please, having clock issues...)



Okay. NOW:

*Runs around forum high fiving everyone and watching all the heads snap back*

 

[cat400]

The Bruins just came off a stretch of 5 games in 8 days combined with the shock of McAvoy's heart procedure so a little let down could have been expected tonight.

A gutsy performance by the whole team to garner another 2 pts.

 

[hrdpuk]

It's hard to criticize a team that keeps winning . What's up with Krejci, is he hurt again?

Sure looked on purpose to me.

Yeah, I would need to see it again too. Cross fingers...

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Rask has been absolutely elite of late.

Bruins hold off Devils for fourth straight victory - The Boston Globe

Tuukka Rask, now without a regulation loss in his last 17 starts (15-0-2), turned in his best performance of the season, snuffing out all 20 New Jersey shots in the first period and finishing with 37 saves.

Rask is now 18-8-4, after allowing only 28 goals in his last 17 starts, and is expected back in net Thursday night when the Bruins play in Ottawa.
