Great Sturmface, Kuraly!
Thanks Ali!

Let’s go s!​

The Bruins are already 31st in the NHL in PP time. The argument of fewer games played doesn't work too well when they're 17th in PK time.

Let's hope Wilson or Ovechkin don't hurt anyone today.

That's Julien's fault, remember? At least that's what the haters have said every year for the past 10 years that this same thing has happened. It can't possibly be officiating bias.

Last game alone some stick infractions (by the new standards) mysteriously ignored. A stick chopped in half (automatic in recent years), Bergeron tripped before his 'trip. Very interesting. I still put it on the officials, the NHL isn't instructing them to ignore Boston PPs.

 

[Alicat]

I'm very happy to see we are top 5 in both PK and PP percentage.

I was worried about our PK since the Bruins have always prided themselves on being a defensive team but guys like Nash and Schaller have been solid and really stepped up when Bergy was out. Kuraly is becoming an effective PKer as well.

It is incredibly early but so far I've got Schaller as my 7th player award winner.

 

[Ladyfan]

B's 3...Caps 2

I hope Ovi stays scoreless and doesn't take out any of our B's with those hits of his.

Ali, I like Tim Schaller too.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

I tend to agree guys like Nash and Kuarly, Schaller are bland but they are doing what they are paid for, they are not breaking the bank. Nash especially is not an offensive go to guy but the hate he gets is not right, he is Kelly.

 

[frickinbobby]

the 7th is of course McAvoy's. it's no longer unsung hero.

let's go B's!!!

There was a pretty good argument to be made for the Claude effect. Someone here posted interesting statistics showing how his team always seems to be penalized more than others (even before his years in Boston, especially @ NJD). But you're right - he's gone and we're still getting killed with PIMs.

 

[Hali33]

Well if you're Holtby, there's one team that's good for the ole confidence boost.

I hope that ends tonight

At least it's being played in Boston so we don't have to be subjected to that ridiculous siren whenever Washington scores.

The NHL has the ref’s 1,000 game at or near their hometown. He also got to pick his crew.

Jaffe was explaining it on 98.5 this am.

Say what you will about him but 1,000 games is remarkable and to have it at Home is incredibly special.
