Swayman just kind of stayed in one spot and pucks just kept hitting in the chest. He should be embarrassed to take credit for a shutout.
Typical Bruin's luck.

I'm pretty sure J-SWAY probably gave his teammates credit for the shutout.

No complaints. At all. They came out on fire again and gave Nashville NOTHING to build upon

Bruins now have a goal differential of +86, double what the second best GD is at +43 for NJ
Big time win. Fun win. Swayday is en fuego! Keep the siblings for all road games!
Keep this rolling boys!
You know the drill!

Bergeron looking good tonite was part I liked best .
If the BRUINS have room for improvement, can one imagine the size of the room Nashville would need?

It was nice to dominate a team again. It's been a while since we did that.

You know the team is clicking when they score 5 goals on 30 shots, and their goalie actually played fairly well.
With the numbers Ullmark has put up, he's the #1 goalie. But since Swayman's brief mini-slump, the tandem is really 1A and 1B. I would trust either against any team; the backup doesn't just spell the starter against weaker opponents.
Likewise, with Lindholm and McAvoy, the defense has more of a 1A and 1B; and who is 1A can change game to game. The Lindholm trade and contract are huge wins for Sweeney.
What incredible depth.
The returns of DeBrusk and Nosek will only bolster the roster. Greer plays every night like his life depends on it. And Smith doesn't belong on the top line, but his willingness to crash and bang in the corners is valuable.
The siblings were awesome. Because they are young, their enthusiasm and love for their brothers was awesome.

Nashville which is on the playoff bubble was totally outclassed tonight
Randoms:
Lindholm was dominant. He's as good a defender as any in the league when he's playing his best.
Offensively it was an even performance. No single line was outstanding, but all 4 were solid and contributed. Nashville was pretty soft defensively, but credit still to the Bs for a good team effort and for attacking the net frequently.
Very charitable of Lauzon to still be scoring goals for the Bruins. He didn't have a happy night, poor kid.
Swayman looked super-relaxed tonight. Calm and confident, just enjoying his hockey. That's when he's at his best. Thought he had a touch of Rask about him in this one - great positioning and puck tracking meant limited late movement and less need to be reactionary. A well-deserved shutout.
Great to finally get a PP goal through some very clever play by Lindy and Bergy, but the play when setup in the zone still feels too slow and predictable. You can see the extra intent to shoot, and that's good, but there's still work to do there before they're really opening up some good shooting lanes and looks again.
Every now and then Foligno does something that winds back the clock and reminds you just what a good player he was in his prime. That was a filthy pass.

I just want to take another moment to admire the pass from Lindholm that set up Bergy's goal in the second. What a thing of beauty! (the finish from Bergeron wasn't too shabby either!)

two things:
1) Lindholm's passing is incredible
2) I could watch Clifton's hit on McDonagh 1000 times

Amongst many great things this game, I thought we seen another sign of the continued development of Trent Frederic.
He's developing an increasing good eye for the subtle art of goal scoring, he joined the rush multiple times and timed it perfectly so that he woud receive the puck in the ideal position for a shot on goal - could have had another one tonight easily.
I thought Carlo was a collosus against a weak and disinterested Nashville, i'm also seeing signs of some offensive play being unlocked by him - having the odd shot and looking for assist-type passes.
This team isn't in it's final form yet. Scary stuff.

I saw the first two periods and wow, that was impressive. My Dad's funeral was yesterday so I needed something to cheer me up, it did, and I actually had the best sleep I've had in weeks. I didn't even check the final score through the night. Thank you Bruins.
Please have more siblings trips....lol No one wants to lose in front of them.
Swayman with the shutout is a massive boost of confidence, so glad he got it.
