Way way past my bedtime. Good night

Notice how we didn’t get pushed around tonight

Maroon makes a difference

Love Bo’s speed and skill
Lauko also killed it tonight

Pasta doesn’t get one of the stars ? Ridiculous. He was the best player on the ice and it wasn’t even close . Dominant and creative every shift . He could have pulled a Darryl Sittler tonight . How did Crosby do ?

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

Well, despite missing the empty net DeBrusk played like a man who does not want to go back to the third line. Really liked how they attacked the net front today. Bodes well for the playoffs.

Penguins were desperate so it's a good solid win imo. Maroon looked okay as well so that's encouraging. I mean he didn't do anything spectacular but for first game back he was fine. He's definitely faster than Lucic was at this stage and probably faster than Brazzeau so no complaints.

I liked these lines.

Trent needs to wake up with little more snarl
Jake squeezing stick too hard - just go have fun JD

Never thought Geekie would score another goal after hat trick
Heinzy just works his tail off

Beech, good game and effirt

NHL politics, Pasta not a star due to late slapshot lol

Sometimes you just have to laugh it off

Good win but same issues with the powerplay. Tons of missed passes as well. Sloppy game but a win is a win

Goodbye Pissburgh

Yep , Maroon will help . I hope he’s hitting the exercise bike every day though to get ready for the playoffs . He looked understandably winded at times .

I still remember years ago when the BRUINS swept the Pens in the PO's, holding them to a total of 2 goals for the 4 games.
I believe that was the series where Crosby got aggressive towards Chara. Of course, the ref was standing in between them.

Congratulations to Zacha on a new career high in points!

So how does it have to play out now for the Bruins to clinch first ?

 

[Mione134]

Good win. No injuries (despite Bunting trying to kick Brad in the face with his skate).

I don't know what needs to happen with the powerplay, but I think they need to keep it simple. Not overpassinng. Shooting. No fancy stuff. Maybe that will help. I don't know. But I'm hopeful. Either way. Good win. Good intensity. Keep that up!



You ALREADY know the drill!

Cue the music!

 

[NeelyOrr]

Funny, when Maroon was with Tampa, most of us disliked him, I remember posting "He's a maroon."
Now he's a BRUIN and he's our maroon.

If Florida loses their one remaining game, BRUINS clinch. If Florida wins their last remaining game, the BRUINS would have to get a total of two points in their remaining two games.
If the two teams end up tied, I believe Florida would finish in 1st place because they have more regulation/OT wins than the BRUINS.
Oh, I left one out. If Florida loses their one remaining game in O/T, then, obviously, the BRUINS would need 1 point in their next two games to clinch.

Mmmm, it’s still not in the bag in my opinion. They will be playing a hungry Washington team on Monday and then the last regular season game of the year will they really give a f*** ?

You are right but its bullshit in a way with Bruins sweeping season series .That said they get Leafs then though .

 

[NeelyOrr]

I still don't like him

I don't think he's gonna be a BRUIN for too long, unless he has a fantastic P/O run. I would personally like for him to return next season, because we are a soft team.

Florida home to Leafs and can't see Leafs dressing best players.

I would certainly rather play the Laffs than the Dolts in the opening round.

They ran into Ullmark twice.

There's no rule that Monty can't rest a few of his best players for the next two games.

Of course, that would really piss the Pens off, but who cares.
