Great to see Jake set the stage early with a goal. You know things are going well when Frederic and Foligno are the first two stars of the game. Bs relentless forecheck in the first wore down the Isles and had to demoralize them at least some. Depth scoring continues. Awesome D and goaltending continue. Going to be tough to derail this train. Keep it rolling!
Nice to see the 4th line putting up some points.

Here we go Bruins, here we go!
Freddy is the man. Figgy is the man. Good times up in here.

Bergeron played less than 13 minutes. Great management of his time in a game like this

Hopefully we see a lot more of this for the rest of the season. A balanced lineup is affording Monty some nice options.
Great win. Let the siblings come to all the games! Welcomed return of Jake DeBrusk. Anyone not thinking how important he is to this team is fooling themselves. Great overall team game. Let's keep this going!
You already know the drill!

Hawaii 5-0 ? Nope, Boston 6-2. Lane "Mc Garrett's" gang handcuffed by the Boston squad.
Two points for the B's, Book 'em Danno.

Frederic is a really good player. Cassidy almost ruined his career. Keep it rolling Boston!

*runs around the forum high fiving everyone and sending Brock Nelson some actual hockey sticks and Varlamov some aloe lotion for the burn on the back of his neck from all those red lights*

A few posts about the Bruins' goal differential in the GDT. Had to look up where they stack up against teams, recent and historical.
www.statmuse.com
They're currently on pace for a GD in the 130's. That's not been seen since the early 1980's. Even if they trail off that pace heavily, achieving +108 to beat the 2005-06 Sens for the best GD post the salary cap (where that team barely qualifies) should be more than plausible. That would require a rate of exactly +2 every 3 games, which only six teams are on pace for achieving this season, but it's obviously a big step down from the +4.9 per 3 games that the Bruins are currently achieving.
In our "worst" 27 game stretch (ending with the overtime win against Dallas on Wednesday) of the season, we had a GD of +34. Matching that the rest of the way would land us on 127. Insanely consistent season.
We have 13 losses this season, with a -20 GD in those games. We only have 10 one-goal wins, so in our worst 27 games combined, we had a goal differential of -2 (-20 + 10x1 + 4x2). -0.07 per game. That's insane.
The Devils in their worst 27 games combined for -27 (-35 + 8x1), exactly -1 per game. And in their worst 27 game stretch, between Dec 2 and Feb 7, they went +5 (again, compared to +34 for the B's).

The Montreal Canadiens have the highest goal differential by a team in a season, with a differential of 216 goals in 1976-77.

Catfish on Thursday, fish sticks today, hoping for flounder on Monday and a nice baked kraken next Thursday, ending the week with a heaping helping of orca.

Yeah yeah the Islanders played last night but it was still a pretty shitty effort from them . I can still remember watching the last playoff game vs the Islanders a couple of years ago . The Islanders were a pretty arrogant group while we were all feeling demoralized. Have the tables turned ?

So damn refreshing to have contributions up and down the lineup on any given night.
