Haven't read the entire thread, so maybe has been answered, but does anyone have any indication of what Bergeron was saying to him? Is there a back-story?

Only saw the highlights so far, but this Thompson kid is really something. That goal of his was Mario-esque.

Uhh not sure, I assumed it was just praise for his game at first cus kids a beast. Then maybe thought it was Bergeron trying to lift him up as they’ve lost a few game in a row and lost last nights game after really outplaying the Bruins 2/3 periods, so maybe telling him to keep his chin up idk. Bergeron also played with his father in Providence in 04/05 so maybe that’s related to it.

Also saw on main board someone say Thompson’s wife is recovering from cancer and it was HFC night so maybe that was it, but idk if Bergeron would touch on that during the game.

So basically no idea lol, based on body language it looks like Bergeron’s speaking kindly to him, which would make sense cus it’s Bergy, but for what exactly who knows.

Bruins Penalty Kill appreciation post:


The Bruins lead the NHL with a 94.4% kill rate. Only one other team has killed better than 85% of their penalties, the Sharks.

There is a bigger gap in success rate between the 1st ranked Bruins and the 3rd ranked Jets than there is between the Jets and the 23rd ranked Penguins.

And the Bruins have put up that kill rate while spending the 3rd most time on the PK per game in the league.

This part needs to improve. Spending too much time in the box has been an issue for the Bruins for a good 2-3 years now. They need to clean up their stick work in particular. It's great that they're so good on the kill, but you still don't want to be giving other teams too many opportunities to punish you, especially in playoffs.

Maybe Marchand has finally gotten 'hip' to the fact he's more important to the BRUINS on the ice than in the penalty box.

Btw, as most of you already know, Tim Thomas didn't make his impact with the BRUINS until he was 32 years old. Kinkaid is 33.
SSS, but Keith sure looked Thomas-like last night.

I almost said it last night, but didn’t. Now that I had a friend text me the same thing without any prompting, I’ll just say it:

I like the Sabres reverse retro jerseys.

He did have a few Timmy moments. Quite entertaining given the number match.

If the NHL took a poll of all the players regarding the classiest guy in hockey, I'm pretty sure Bergy would be at the top.

After watching many highlights, I have come to the conclusion that was a lucky win that will even out soon. If Peturka does not hit the post, they win. And if they do not hit the crossbar at 2-1, it is a toss-up. Kinkaid also stole it with some spectacular saves.

Coyle and DeBrusk also hit posts ya know.
