[Rubber Biscuit]

That was a lot of fun. Just an absolutely stifling defensive effort.

 

[Smitty93]

Incredible what happens when you start to get healthy and guys fall back into their natural spots, huh?

 

[PB37]

We have the best grinders in the league.

 

[McGarnagle]

When was the last time we held a team to 13 or fewer shots?

 

[Emerz]

Just a totally dominant effort in every sense of the word.

3:1 shot ratio, don't see that often.

Lots of fun stats came from that game, Chara was on the ice for 14 shots for and only 1 against (93%).

Boston Bruins @ New York Islanders, 2019-03-19

Tampa is gonna have no idea what hit them when these teams meet in the playoffs

 

[HumBucker]

Boys needed that easy win and hopefully gives them confidence on the road. Least road wins of any playoff team coming in to tonight. Now tied with Dallas. Important for them to establish themselves down the stretch.

That's for the entire season, I assume? What about the 2nd half of the season, or since the all-star break? Who cares how they played on the road in Oct-Nov?

 

[Bruinaura]

*runs around the forum high fiving everyone while yelling we want more cooooooookkkkieeeeeesssss*

 

[ap3lovr]

Nice to see the foot stay on the gas after getting a lead. Great layers tonight and transition was smooth. Active sticks and support have the Isles a hard time. 2nd best game they played all year to the Tampa game.

 

[HumBucker]

I like the fact that this team has learned good work habits while missing some talent. Plug that talent back in, and that's a good way to be playing going into the playoffs.

 

[LouisSleigher]

This was a thorough beat-down. Must have been the easiest shutout of Rask's career.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

People were asking about B’s clinching a spot. When I look at the two WC teams, CBJ and CAR, they can reach 104 and 107 pts respectively if they go undefeated.

I would guess that the B’s clinch when they hit 105 right now and that number will go down as CBJ (or whomever is in the 8 spot) loses games?

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Total domination. From start to finish.

Chara some tough 42y umbre. Martin no match. Extend the big fella as long as he wants to play.

Easiest SO in Rask career.

Glad Pasta is back. Shake the rust off and get ready for the real season.

Coyle makes the Bruins a better team. Such an upgrade on a blatant need and signed through next year. Great addition by Sweeney.

So many positives in this game.

Next.

 

[PB37]

Look at the deployment and execution of our centers

Bergeron - 14 minutes / +1
Krejci - 16 minutes / even
Kuraly - 15 minutes / +3
Acciari - 14 minutes / +2

 

[Emerz]

I still wonder what is takes to get powerplays in this league..

Here's a concept: reward the team that's dominating possession night in and night out, battling hard every shift and outworking their opponents.

The fact that we end that game with 1 total power play and less than the islanders who got dummied all night long is astonishing to me.

 

[SpeedyLazaro]

YEP.. completely agree... if there was ever a team that deserved a punch in a mouth, it's the 2019 TBL

 

[veganbruin]

Kuraly is such a likeable player. He’s the perfect bottom 6 role player. I hope he anchors that line for years to come.

 

[LouisSleigher]

B's smothered them defensively even though they had 3 D-men out of the lineup. Incredible depth and resiliency.

Somehow teams play near-perfect hockey against the Bs. Uncanny.

Happy Birthday Louie DeBrusk!

Jake said the goal was for his dad

 

[OV]

I'm really taking a shine to Clifton.

[HuskyBruinPride]

Not sure if the Islanders don't look like a true playoff team, or we were just that dominant.
