His regular season record as BRUINS coach is 86-19-11. He must be doing something right.

Lots of simple, smart plays, especially when protecting the lead. Short shifts, pucks deep, all the cliches. Good stuff.
Pastrnak with a gritty goal and a highlight-reel goal.
I loved the 'identity' tonight, but do wonder about what Raycroft said. The Bruins can play 'below the red line' against a softer Devils' D. But can they play that way against Florida and Tampa?
They will be where the Devils were tonight, facing Detroit. Second of back-to-backs with travel.

Yep, Marchand worked his ass off to help set up Jake's goal which woke up the B's

Stay where you are, I’m sending an ambulance over - you’re going to be ok. We have a great staff that will help you.

Salt and light
That was their best game of the year without a doubt. They had very good legs and they were quite physical and caused turnovers with it. Pasta was flying and dominant in the first two periods and was decent in the third. Grz had his best game of the year as well. Jake also had his best game, we need that almost every game. Good note by Jack about it being Grzelcyk's first plus game of the season! With the exceptions of Zacha, Lohrei and maybe Frederic, the rest were good too. (I am a little surprised TF had good Corsi stats because it looked to me like he floated on some shifts and flubbed a few plays.)
I hope Charlie Mc is ok. Monty is full of it when he says "it is just a stinger." Monty, like Cassidy, often lies and always tries to push his players through injuries. The best we can hope for is a mild hyperextension. Ully landed on it with almost all his weight. I am no orthopedist, but that is a pretty good guess. Get it checked, and be careful with him. He is already dinged up.
On to Detroit. Why does the league always screw us with weekend back to backs that end in Detroit? The answer is TV of course, but this is at least the second or, even third, year in a row they have done it ...Edit: it is not even a national game. What gives? P.p.s. I forgot it was New Year's Eve tomorrow. Duh. Btw, it is also my birthday.

3 forwards took less shifts.Merkulov logged 18 shifts 15:08 TOI .
Right now Ottawa has 18 regulation losses in 31 games compared to the BRUINS' 19 regulation losses in 116 games.

The best news here is that McAvoy is fine.
The second best news is that DeBrusk seems to be waking up. We really need him to be all he can be.
Merkulov was fine imo. Probably fits that 3rd line better than Poitras at this point. Better and more developed 2 way game. Getting very good value for that Shattenkirk contract that's for sure.
Not sure we'd have done as well if they weren't on a back to back as they seemed to run out of gas after the first but it was a solid win for sure.

Just in. Mac looked like he was hurting when he went past us BUT he was walking on both legs Glad he is OK.
Pasta's goal was a beauty...and he had two.
Best game by Jake in a long time. His first goal was all Marchy.
Shattenkirk had the biggest smile on his face. All of the guys were happy for him.
We had (in front of us) a little girl who was a goalie. She was with her father. She told us Santa got the seats for her.
She loves the net minders and made a sign for Sway. He gave her a signed puck.
After the game Pasta (one of the 3 stars) went out to give the autographed stick away and saw us. I pointed to the little girl, and he said (to her)..."You want this?" She nodded and got the stick. She had a good night.
Pasta and Brad were excellent tonight. Such great leaders.
I really enjoyed tonight.
Poor Bs are flying out right after the game.
I said this before ...Bergy should give a master class on faceoffs.
