Nothing like a 3 point game a -1. Goes to show how useful that stat is. He was absolutely great today.

Quite fitting that Kuraly got the empty netter as he helped set the tone today with his stepping up in his fight with Hayden.
The dogged determination of this year's team is a wonderful sight to behold.

These awful starts are starting to get old, but what a great third period turn around. Bruins record when being one goal down is amazing, but not showing up in the rink until second period is probably not the most sustainable way to win hockey games.

Special teams were incredible today - 4 PPG and a SHG - and doing so without Bergeron & McAvoy.
The passing on the PP was incredible - B's zipping the puck from one side of the ice to the other, constantly one step ahead of the Hawks' box, and it led to some wide-open looks on the doorstep. Even on the two they didn't score in the third, Krug did an incredible job sprinting back and cutting off Schmaltz's angle and options to force him to shoot short-side. That was critical in a two-goal game in the third.
Kuraly with a Gordie Howe hat trick.
The B's definitely miss Bergeron & McAvoy in the D zone. In the six-game streak, they're giving up more than 3G/game and Chicago had a lot of great chances today (and four ES goals). Today looked a lot like the Detroit game on Tuesday - B's had an early lead, let up, but made enough plays down the stretch to win.

Tampa 9-0-1 in their last 10 and McDonough played his first game today.
Bruins would have had to go 10-0 in their last 10 and would have only gained a point.

Ugh. Having to watch Chicago's broadcast because of NHL.tv blackout rules. Their studio crew spent the entire first intermission - and is now spending an entire postgame segment - begging for Marchand to be suspended, claiming he hit Duclair high on purpose.
Watching the play in real time, Marchand is clearly surprised when he sees Duclair and reacts instinctively. There's no malice, but he'll likely get suspended because of reputation.

I actually think this is a good description and if the NHL is sane they will see it as well, but the NHL has proven anything but sane when it comes to supplemental discipline.
That was a fun game to watch. When this team is back to full strength they are going to be serious contenders in the playoffs. I really hope Marchand doesn't get a suspension considering the run of games ahead and with Bergy out but I suspect he will. Anyway enjoy this win and roll on tomorrow.

Crazy game, but scoring 7 on the Hawks always feels good. Now let's pray for Marchand.

They found a way to trick the league into letting them LTIR Hossa. Will not surprise me to see the league let them get around the cap again on some of these other contracts.Great minds think alike
Chicago had a great run but it will be awhile before they contend again - Seabrook signed till 2024
The experts keep saying you can't play from behind like that, it is playing losing hockey....seems to be wrong in this case, just like in 2011 when they said the Bruins couldn't win the Cup with their terrible powerplay. Sometimes it just doesn't matter.

I wasn't here in the first couple of post-lockout years when the B's were really struggling, but was on the old Internet email list (which still has a pulse), so I don't really have a point of comparison for the B's being way out of contention with a month to go in the season. However, it's not a surprise that a day game when the team is way out of contention gets little attention. It's also a fairly nice, sunny day here in the Midwest, so a good day to go out.

They may use a seldom used 'old age exemption' and allow the Black Hawks to declare the last 4-5 years of Seabrooke and Keith able to be placed on that
There was a collision and they gave him an interference penalty. The media is screaming for a suspension.

He was there to the end but I was reading the Main Board and apparently he used the blade of his stick and cut out Duclair face like Hannibal Lectner in Silence of the Lambs.
If that's not bad enough Marchand played a shift wearing Duclairs face

What a win!
1. DeBrusk with perhaps his strongest all-around game of the year. He’s getting really good at driving turnovers in the corners and stealing pucks from defensemen. How refreshing is it to see a young skilled player with his mindset? Fearless and seems to be loving every single second of it - love the kid and what he brings night in and night out. That patience to not pass the puck to Krejci on his second helper was a veteran move. Outstanding game.
2. The 4th line - Kuraly especially - had a really good game as well, drawing penalties and contributing offensively through hard work and strong skating. Another wicked refreshing aspect of this year’s team.
3. Rask looks off in a major way. Poor tracking, bad glove work - got beat on 2 other posts. He needs to snap out of it.
4. Krejci the goal scorer is heating up at the right time. He looks like a totally different player since Spooner’s exit and Nash’s arrival. I think it’s beyond obvious that both of those aspects individually have played a part in his late season revival.
5. Speaking of Nash - what a tip in.
6. The top 4 still looking like a dumpster fire - Chara and Carlo moreso than others - but Grzelcyk and Holden were very solid today. I’m extremely impressed with Holden (I was completely wrong about him and it serves me wrong for lending full accolades to the main boards for believing their words over the years about him) and it looks to me like Sweeney may have paid the best price for a defenseman at/near the deadline.
7. We’ll wait and see what the league thinks about Marchand’s collision with Duclair, but color me shocked if they suspend him. I feel it in my bones.
8. Pasta with another sublime dangle in the third as well. He also appears to be waking up out of his funk at the right time.
9. Gionta is also proving me wrong - he’s fitting in seamlessly. I think we have our next M.D. candidate!
All in all, what an exciting game! I’m loving Butch’s direction and the style he’s brought to the table.
