2nd line had a great game, even before Cehlarik's goal.
Tuukka and D were great once again.
Bergeron.

Bergeron.
What a shame he acted that way. I got to see him play more times than I can count, and met him a few times up here in Seattle, and always seemed like such a nice kid. Intense, but respectful. And kinda quiet too. Maybe the coaching staff is trying to get him to he more vocal and active and that's how he's interpreting it?Oh and Barzel is a little puke. mouthing off to the B's bench and behaving like a little brat.
I don't move Celarik for Eberly. I don't move Debrusk for Barzal.
Rask is the MVP of this team. Frustrating other teams offenses like we saw with Wash and NYI
I noticed that. Marchand had some words to say about him that had the reporters laughing. Islanders fans don't seem very happy with his game tonight, especially with his lackluster effort leading up to the empty netter.
Both Kuraly and Acciari had more icetime than Bergy tonight. Wagner missed beating Bergy out by 10 seconds.
I still think there best option is to play Toronto. Try and get that 3rd spot in the Atlantic ( Leafs will likely get the 2nd spot ) . I’m not overly concerned with home ice against the Leafs . Don’t want to open up the playoffs facing Tampa or Washington.It's crazy when you look at the standing and realize that this team is only behind Montreal by one point for third in the conference...
But both Washington and Pittsburgh hover around the same amount of points that Boston has, essentially. Is that a sign that the Atlantic just has some solid teams, or that the the Metropolitan just has some really talented teams that just keep beating each other?
Boston's still in this playoffs race. I think they can make it. What condition they'll all be in by the time they make it though, I have no idea
The 4th line did an unbelievable job last night of matching up with the Islanders top line. Lee and Nelson and big physical players that grind as well, to be able to relieve Bergy-Pasta-Marchand of having to match up against them all night is huge.

Honestly i'm of the opinion that it doesn't matter who they face this year - if they don't get some help up front with the forwards, they're not moving past the first round. That's been obvious for awhile now. I would rather see them one and done in the playoffs though than miss out entirely
Just beat the Leafs in the first round and I don’t care if Tampa rolls over them 4 straight.The Bruins are basically a Top 5 Defense (sit 3rd overall in GAA) and a Bottom 5 offense (27th in shooting %, 27th in even-strength goals, 22nd in Goals for per game at 2.868 and only marginally better than the Blues who sit, you guessed it, 27th with 2.863).
As good defensively this team has been, I don't see how they go very far without a pretty significant upgrade in their offense. And I don't think adding just one more quality forward will do it.

Loved the win on Bergie’s 1000th!
I only have one question: why is Backes on the 2nd unit of the power play? I don’t see him adding a thing.
Who will kill penalties? Defend late leads? Defend teammates?
I will be impressed if in a couple of weeks the Habs are still ahead of the Bruins . They play : Winnipeg , Toronto, Nashville ( twice ) and Tampa in their next 5 games . Bruins have easier competition but then again that doesn’t mean a whole lot for the Bruins .Or the Habs for that matter.
