2 points! Mainly glad none of the Bs got a serious injury. First Brad, then Krejci, then Begy, then the brutal slash on Pasta. All the major star forwards minus Jake. Glad Hall wasn't in the lineup or he might have aggravated whatever is ailing him given the way things went tonight.

Quality road win. Edm is second in DIFF in the West and is right in the thick of things for best record in the conference. Throw in they have the best player in the world. Bs didn't play their best and still pulled this one out. Difference these kind of wins are happening this year are secondary scoring in combination with timely goal tending.

New guys are doing great. Team continues to leave it all on the ice. Keep it rolling!

Lotta PP talk. Marchand scores 99 out of 100 on his shot. Absolutely Unreal save by Skinner. Slashy boy three blocks where Pasta easily scores.

Didn't like 5 forwards ...no not at all.

 

[Coach Parker]

Tough fought win but 2 points is 2 points. Secondary scoring has been tasked with carrying this team for the next three weeks while the top players bring the intensity down to 80%. It was expected and we can all see it. It's not a problem as they keep winning and also ensure they can ramp it back up in three weeks or so!

Go Bruins Go!

Caps fan just chiming in. Dima has been my favorite player since we drafted him and he quickly rose up our organizational depth chart. You guys have an incredible player and even better person. Hoping that him and Hath win the Cup with you guys this year.

I thought it was a gutsy win going there when Edmonton was ready for them. They are a fast team man. 4th line was great tonight.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

At this point just FF to the POs and stay healthy. These games don't do much other than let the new guys get settled

 

[Ladyfan]

It wasn't pretty but another 2 points.

Our top players really were abused tonight. I would love for someone to do SOMETHING about that.

 

[Coach Parker]

Pastrnak is double-clutching his shot and skating out of wrist shot shooting range. That will also disappear in three weeks.

 

[SPV]

Good win. A little messy at times, but good teams grind it out. That's what they'll need to do in the playoffs too.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Good win even though the PP still looks like shit

Just glad Marchand is ok

 

[Bounces R Way]

Better depth better goalie better team won

Oilers are just McDavid

Loved guys like Foligno and Forbort's dig tonight.

7 in a row. Not our best effort but still pulling them out.

The haters are furious.

2 pts

 

[unkempt]

That was super extra ugly! I think the whole team is slowing down. Playoffs secure, no one wants to get hurt. They are still getting the wins, mind you. Ugly though. But I agree. At this point there is absolutely no reason to take risks, regular season records be damned.

 

[Healthy Wrap]

Lindholm needs to be a mainstay on the 1st PP unit. For a team that struggles so mightily with zone entries, having a big body who can keep pucks in at the blueline is key

 

[goldnblack]

Gonna skip all the things that bothered me about the top 6, and praise the bottom 6, wow.

Orlov is such a Bruin too. Also really nice to see Sway tighten up and crush it. 2 pts!

 

[EverettMike]

I feel like I'm having an out of body experience after those last two minutes.

Was that real? Were they trying to throw the game? Did they forget they were up a goal? Did the mob have someone's kid in an abandoned factory?

Good win even though the PP still looks like shit

Just glad Marchand is ok

I hope and am pretty sure the medical staff will keep an eye on that cut. Infections can be bad.

What's scary is that they have taken their foot of the pedal and still had the scariest 'close call' serious injury game. In one night, they were inches from losing Marchand, Bergeron and Krejci all in the same night and it had nothing to do with the speed of the game.

Obligatory make out session/winning chibby pic

Thanks for this and appreciate it! He had a great game today and looked really comfortable with McAvoy on the top pairing.

When players play at half speed that's when injuries occur.

I've heard a bunch of players reiterate that in interviews/podcasts/etc.

I’m not buying the whole “top line players are deliberately going at 80%” take. You might be overthinking that, a little.

Edmonton and Vancouver both played pretty well against us. Credit where it’s due.

Yamamoto could have easily had 2 or 3 tonight if he could put a puck on net when he needed to….
