I wouldn't mind playing the Isles in the playoffs to be honest
Anyone think it might benefit the Bruins to hover into the first wildcard spot? Instead of going through the Leafs and Lightning, you'd get the Islanders and then hopefully the Pens take out the Caps for you in round 1.
What is funny about Cassidy is that he had this team playing better when they had a bunch of injuries than now when they are healthy.
I went to be after the 2nd thinking this is a done deal...unreal! So glad I didn't stay up for this one.
How bad did the bruins look in the 3rd?
Bergeron isn’t good on the shoot out. It’s not his forte. Never has been.A coach who is prepared should have his shootout list determined in advance. It's not too hard. Most of the posters on this board could put together a reasonable list. And by reasonable, I mean one in which Bergeron appears in the top seven.
The Defense was better.What is funny about Cassidy is that he had this team playing better when they had a bunch of injuries than now when they are healthy.
They got tired.I went to be after the 2nd thinking this is a done deal...unreal! So glad I didn't stay up for this one.

“Cehlarik I was told that in Providence he was very good, so we gave him a look.” Cassidy
So the coach decided to see how Cehlarik looked in the shootout during the game and not in practice, I am losing confidence in this guy
If you're only going to have Frederic play 7-9 minutes a night, just send him back to Providence. Honestly its a waste of a line-up spot and its doing nothing to help his development.
Also can someone fill me in on the Marchand-Bergeron-Heinen trio? Did they play much together and if so how did they look and is it something we could see going forward?
I think you underestimate what it means for a young player, being able to play with the likes of Bergeron, Marchand, Backes , Krejci, and Big Z. What they can learn from them on the fly and the 8-10 minute a game playing with and against pro's can be very instrumental/beneficial in a players development.
Also the team is taking so many penalties lately, don't know if that's because we usually get the lead then it seems refs are watching like hawks for any infractions or if the guys are just being undisciplined. A few penalties last night were pretty laughable though, especially the Bergeron "slash".
