Looking for a lopsided score today. Rick Nash with another goal or two. Chara with a few heavy hits on Pacioretty and Gallagher. Clode speechless on the bench.

Go B’s!

The scary thing about Montreal is there is no easy fix for them to rebound and the same applies to the Blackhawks.

By comparison, the Bruins never totally collapsed after 2014 and stayed in playoff contention to the final weekend in both 15 and 16.

Montreal for a variety of reasons is not an attractive option for free agents and there is no worse city for a player to be in if the team is doing poorly. They are going to be hurting for several years.
Not scary at all

Patches might be out too. That MTL lineup looks pretty bleak.

Friday's win was costly. Montreal captain Max Pacioretty left with a lower-body injury and did not return. Earlier, rookie defenseman Victor Mete suffered a hand injury and was set to return to Montreal. Defenseman Rinat Valiev, acquired from Toronto in the deadline deal for Tomas Plekanec, was recalled and was set to join the team in Boston.
Tuukka Rask, who once looked at the Canadiens like kryptonite, won all three games against Montreal in January to improve his lifetime record against the Habs to 10-15-3, with a 2.41 goals-against average and .917 save percentage.
With Carey Price out with a concussion, veteran Antii Niemi, figures to go Saturday.

I spent an hour this morning reading the Hawks board.

Friggin hilarious how bitter they are.

The Bruins have to score 8 more than the Habs tonight in addition or subtraction to whatever Tampa's goal differential is in today's game vs. Philly to take the top spot in goal differential in the league.

Easy peasy.

With That:;)

The Bruins ranks third in the NHL in defence (2.50 goals a game) and they rank fourth in offence (3.29 goals a game).
