Thought Charlie played what may have been the best game of his season if not his career. Really on the mark. Just saw his postgame interview had me chuckling a bit.

I think Heinen has turned a corner in his play the last few games. He's using his size more for an advantage. He's always had the hands and vision but seldom put it all together unlike last year.
I like him as a top six winger now but if Sweeney can pull a second line winger from somewhere Heinen kills it on the third line and almost as importantly staples Backes to the bench...

If they can find a way to have Heinen and Krejci as the third line pairing then this team can actually compete in a best of seven with anyone in the East. Right now it's Tampa Bay then everyone else.

McAvoys been playing like a #1 lately

Important wins against some of these weaker opponents. Next 5 are going to be tough. Some of the best teams in the league back to back to back. San Jose, Vegas, St. Louis, San Jose again and Tampa.

Not trying to be a downer here, but we just beat the two worst teams in the Western Conference, so I’m not buying into the whole measuring stick argument just yet. San Jose and Vegas will be the true barometer of where this team currently sits.

I’ll take competitive performances there and be happy, regardless of result.

Although the next games on this road trip will probably be tougher to get a W, I can't remember the last time the B's started a west coast trip 2-0.......I'm thinking it's been awhile

...on to San Jose

Ahhj

Made no sense to bench him with 11 mins to go

I mean why even dress him then

I was actually talking about the next 5 games not the last two

Eat that East.

Bruins 7pts up on the stinky Habs.

Great victory. Bruins not only leapfrog past Leafs but are also just a single point out of 2nd overall in the league..

Just imagine, if this don't prove how screwed up this beer league playoff format is: It's highly possible for Bruins or Leafs to finish the season with the THIRD best record in the league and NOT have home ice advantage in the 1st or 2nd round of playoffs!! Seriously how messed up is that??

Dang! I keep waking up to W's lately and seeing as I'm not normally a morning person, they are confusing my mood entirely. I caught myself whistling yesterday morning. WHISTLING!!

Toronto and Boston have similar schedules but I think the Bruins have a slight edge. How on earth does Toronto still have 3 with Buffalo and 2 with Montreal?

The format is nuts as Tampa should in a logical division format draw #4 Atlantic Montreal in Round 1 - but with the Wild Card crossover they will most likely draw a Metro team which could very well be Pittsburgh or even Washington.

I honestly think Tampa is such a machine Bruins would be doing well to lose in 6 as stands now

As of this morning Bruins are tired 2 overall with Winnipeg for points and take the tie breaker because Winnipeg plays Joe Morrow regularly and he’d be on Providence third pair
