Hi ! I’m new here !! Very happy with the win and the way the Bruins have been playing lately. Too bad Rask didn’t get a SO but it was a good game overall

This team has earned an opportunity to make a run.
I’m convinced that it’s worth adding a piece up front to take a run at the thing.
Backes had a good game and if he’s healthy, I like him in a bottom six role.
I like DeBrusk on the 2nd line. Kurauly has played very well and if they can add one more piece on the wing, I’ll feel exponentially better about the scoring depth.

Should have been about 5-1, Bruins were in control right from puck drop.
Buffalo doesn't have much after Eichel and Skinner.
Buffalo doesn't have much after Eichel and Skinner.
"He's probably laughing after that first goal was disallowed," Wagner said with a smile as he remembered his late grandad, Jim Phelan of Norwood, who passed away on Friday morning.
Wagner was, no doubt, playing with some added purpose and plenty of emotion, thus it was no surprise when the 27-year-old popped one in for real just under 10 minutes later to open the scoring in Boston's 2-1 victory over the Sabres at TD Garden.
"This was a special game for me. Maybe he was watching out for me, making the puck follow me around. Who knows? He would drive me around when my parents couldn't, went to all my games, watched all these games even up until the Winter Classic the other day, so it means a lot," said Wagner, who pointed skyward during both celebrations in tribute of his maternal grandfather.
"I was giving him a little tribute. He would probably be a little upset that I even acknowledged him. He was a humble guy and I'm going to miss him a lot."

I wonder how many times " Grandpa" drove Wagner to games and practices or played in the driveway. In the world of hockey ...God bless Grandpas and all that "Spare time " they enjoyed committing to Grandsons , and Granddaughters for that matter , trying to realize their dreams .Heavy heart lacing them up yesterday for the lad I suspect .When he gets amoungst his family , they'll all know why he was #1 star yesterday .RIP...
Welcome to the board !
A guy in the front row said : I hope Tuukka gets a SO". He jinxed it. It is his fault there was no SO! .

''A month ago Sabre’s message boarders:
We’re the best team in the league!
Now:
Dahlin should be in the AHL.''
...but seriously, glad Wagner got 1 (2); we controlled this game from the very first second, secondary scoring is back.
I like Backes, he's a much better player now than back in October and November - play does not die on his stick and he doesn't run out of gas immediately in the o zone.

The Bruins are looking good! Tuukka seems to be back in his zone and even got an assist!! I think Halak got an assist recently....goalie wars! That fourth line looked great and the top line couldn't buy a goal last night.
I used to keep track of disallowed goals but this season seems to be the worst so far.

sounds like this place.
after we lost to buffalo a couple weeks ago everyone said we were done. lol
Bruins hold off Sabres - The Boston Globe
A mere four days removed from the pomp and pageantry of the Winter Classic, the Bruins staged their workingman’s Wagner Classic Saturday night in a convincing 2-1 win over the Sabres at TD Garden.
The victory, their fourth in a row, had Walpole’s Chris Wagner, his Boston accent as fixed as Old Ironsides in the Harbah, knocking home one of the two goals and otherwise owning the Causeway Street sheet as if he claimed it by eminent domain.
It was a remarkable, bold performance, particularly around the net, Wagner rolling up a half-dozen shots on goalie Linus Ullmark in the two periods — more than triple his average output this season. He hit, he shot, he scored . . . in all, a fitting tribute to his maternal grandfather, Jim Phelan, who passed away Friday morning.
“So this was a special game for me,” said Wagner, 27, recalling that his grandfather often shuttled him to games around the Bay State in his youth. “Maybe he was watching out for me, making the puck follow me around, who knows?”

Well he was pretty incredible last night. Best player on the ice for both teams. He was constantly generating opportunities. I’m sure his grandfather is looking on with pride
That may be partiality my fault as well.......I text that I'm a fan of Risto to my buddy less than a minute before he scored that goal....all I could do was put my head down and laugh.

Yes. He has not been the same since overcoming his concussion issues. Which were pretty serious. There is an article out there of what he went through. He is happy to be alive and playing.
Not sure a change of scenery would help him, he seems to have lost his ability to adjust to the games changes over the last few years, IMO.

apparently Acciari had a good game? I missed the game thus I cannot count his performance and use it as a reason for me to eat crow, if I don`t see it happen live, it didn`t happen
Been there , done that ......My son has made me sit in the bathroom after jinxy comments didnt work out watching the tube .We've played some inspired hockey , apparently , while I've sat on the throne...." A Bruins Tale " of sorts

Take it from an Acciari hater, he did play goodapparently Acciari had a good game? I missed the game thus I cannot count his performance and use it as a reason for me to eat crow, if I don`t see it happen live, it didn`t happen
I really liked how they maintened the gameflow like a good team does. They made Buffalo play the game they wanted.
Really hope Butch keeps Donato-JFK-Heinen together. They show great chemistry. Goals will come.

I do too. Donato is starting to play with more strength and is battling harder. JFK is going to be a good one. I think this team is pretty well set with 3 out of its 4 lines. Second line scoring winger continues to be the biggest team need, as it has been for several years now. Solve that issue and this team will be pretty dang tough to beat in the playoffs, assuming the kid line continues to develop chemistry and improve.

Yeah it will be interesting to see ( assuming they are together) how they do against Washington and Toronto.

If I remember correctly JFJr pushed for his inclusion in the Jones trade - seemed like a throw in at the time but he was real high on the kid. Sure looks like he was onto something.
