Attended game right behind Bruins bench.Bruce Cassidy is an awesome coach.Dominated first 2/3 of game but scary last 1/3.
Happy to get 2 pts but not a doubt in my mind this team needs to add help at deadline..

The lack of finish from the Bruins made this a frustrating game to watch. Can’t complain about the ending though, and Rask was absolutely lights out during OT.

I wonder if McAvoy is a bit tired. To my eyes he lacks some of his dynamism from earlier in the season.

Just finished watching this one on Center Ice . After a sorry performance last game, Tuukka was amazing here. Sure he had a goal post or two bail him out but all things considered this was a good bounce back game for Tuukka. B's were the better team and deserved the W but if not for Tuukka this would have been a L., Go B's go.

I think he's been playing a little more cautious, and has probably lost a bit of the confidence he had before his procedure.

...hopefully he will get stronger and more confident as the season goes on.

He's a young man and has had a lot on his plate as of late. He probably has a few things to sort out before he can get back to what he's capable of . I got a lot of patience for a player like him , especially after what he's been through.

The Sticks (West MA)
I just finished watching the game and the B’s were definitely the better team, just had a hard time finishing. The refs should be ashamed of themselves. The calls on Krejci, Heinen and Grizz were awful. DK’s and Grizz’s in particular where Jankowski actually grabbed 46’s arm and Gaudreau held 48’s stick. Also, right before Heinen’s penalty Nash got tossed from the dot even though Frolik was in the circle early. There was multiple interference infractions that should have been called on the Flames. I love Tkachuk, but he literally has a stick or glove on someone impeding them every shift.

Calgary is a very easy team to dislike. Dougie is a given. Good to see that he’s still soft as warm butter in front of the net and in his own end. Hathaway and Ferland are punkish, but the guy that probably annoyed me the most was Lazar. What a spot picker, waited until the D was in vulnerable spots twice and then unloaded on McQuaid and McAvoy. Mark my words, someone is going to kick his ass.

I wish that the B’s would play Heinen with more offensively gifted players than Nash and Backes (seemed to be gripping the stick too tight today).

I saw a comment about McAvoy looking winded, but I didn’t see that. He looked real good to these eyes.

Rask was amazing in the 3rd and OT.

On to EDM.
