in there so there would be no doubt of your position 
Who do the b's have that can do this ? They had better be no injuries
The Captain, David Backes, Connor Clifton (he's small but fearless) and that's about it. I don't know if Brett Ritchie can fight or not. I don't want Backes fighting but I know he's willing to do it.
What I wouldn't give to have Kevan Miller back.

The NHL, the stupidest League ever.
If the Patriots had players playing football like the way Backes and Krejci have been the last few years they would have been cut a long time ago.
Trade Krejci when he gets healthy and buy Backes out. Time to move on.
Hopefully the Bruins put Halak in goal vs the Blues.

Krejci had 73 points last year. What a remarkably stupid idea. Holy crap

For better or worse, our new enforcer is the 35% efficient power play. Have to meter out justice with goals not fists.
Why? They play Saturday and Sunday. You play Rask against St Louis (who, despite the game 7 cherry pickers, had excellent numbers against them in the SCF as a whole last year) and Halak against the lowly Rangers. There is no choice at all.

The problem with this approach is that when the refs stop calling penalties there's no pay back for dirty play - as last year's Final so disappointingly showed.
Teams like the Blues make me pine for the days when we were icing prime Chara, Thornton, Quaider and Lucic...

Uhhh, you do know Krejci posted career high points last year, equaling his 2008-2009 total?

Chocolate chip only. Pretty sure oatmeal raisin cookie pics result in a one month site ban.

Now that I am older and my vision isn't great and will never get glasses, when I see cookies from across the room they always look like chocolate chip but sadly are oatmeal raisin when I get closer and can see the awfulness.

Saw the Blues earlier this year in Washington, DC and they were a bit sloppy. The funny thing was the Caps scored on a puck flip and it bounced in front of their back-up goalie and went right by him with like 6.1 seconds left in regulation. Of course I was quite happy seeing the Boo-Hoo's lose

I thought you and I could be friends but I am rethinking that now.
Forget the revenge and payback stuff. Just get out there and play our game, not theirs - pace, skill, compete, relentless forecheck, hunt the puck not the man, outwork them in the battles along the boards and in the neutral zone then use our speed to get it forward and create chances. Drive the net and get as much rubber on target as possible - Binnington hasn't liked it too much this season when teams are getting in his space and working the rebounds and repeat opportunities, so put the pressure on him.
Out-skate the Blues and frustrate their D and like Toronto they will give up penalties, which in the regular season should be called. But even if they're not just keep at them, while staying tight and keeping our shape in our own zone - the Blues are still very good at exploiting and converting mistakes so don't make many.
Above all don't fall into the trap of playing their slower, heavier, grinding style like we did too often in the SCF. Keep the tempo up and stay mobile. In a game with national coverage and interest, get a solid, definitive win and show everyone that the Bruins are still one of the best teams in the NHL and ready for another serious tilt at the ultimate goal. Let's do this!!

Just got home from the movies. This has NOTHING to do with the game tonight, but i'll say it anyway: The Lighthouse movie with Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson was f***ing incredible, and I highly recommend it. There are a lot of WTF moments in it, but it's maybe one of the best meditations on guilt and isolation that I (in my young 31 years) have ever seen.
That said, i'm really glad tonight's game ought to be a palette cleanser after watching. Film was prettyyyyy dark.

You do realize Krejci has one year left on his contract right? Bruins have an aging core.
Shame to see to young players like Johansen and Accirai let go.
Backes buy out would be 2.6 million. Get it over with.
