A few posts about the Bruins' goal differential in the GDT. Had to look up where they stack up against teams, recent and historical.
The Montreal Canadiens have the highest goal differential by a team in a season, with a differential of 216 goals in 1976-77.

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).
