It’s kind of insane we’re even considering a platoon for the goalies in the playoffs when one is having the greatest goaltending season since Tim Thomas. Insane in a very good way

Blow it up, burn it down, hit reset and start over
I haven't seen him mentioned, so I will... Oscar Steen.
Kid had a great game, could have had a couple of goals, super hustle. Was all over the play in the first half.

No way they regularly alternate come playoff time.
Ullmark will start and be the main guy.
Only scenarios Swayman gets in is if the Bruins go up 3-0 in a series, to rest Ullmark..... or if Ullmark gets injured.

He is a drama boy now. He is painful to watch...lol

Brind’Amour is such a baby. Good coach but a Crosby level whiner. There are bad calls every game. Was the penalty on McAvoy a penalty? Someone skates into him and falls down? It was a day full of weak calls. The Bruins had a goal called back and you’re still whining? Weak.

I'll be absolutely stunned if that occurs.
I've yet to see him deviate in any style/play so far.
He's pretty consistent.

Clifton was suspect too, not recognizing Aho going to the net. He could have taken away the pass or tied up Aho’s stick. Never a good look when the D in front of the net is just standing there looking for something to do while a goal is being scored.

He is very consistent.....how many teams have the luxury of what is going on right now with the goaltending. It sure is a great thing.

That pairing (Zboril/Clifton) was a real detriment. Not enough defensive smarts to be out there together.

One thing that has really impressed me is Zacha using his speed to get back defensively, especially when he plays center. He may have been the Bruins best forward yesterday.

I watched a Bruins - Caps game last season, and the Washington announcers said ''that Steen guy plays every shift like it's his last.''
You mean Jake DeBust? Haven't heard from any of the Jake DeBust people in while. Can't remember their names.
As good as he is, he's an even better person. I can't image how the fates took the child from a man who loves children as much as he does. So cruel. But I'm prejudiced, he gave my granddaughter a puck last year in Carolina. Oh, and she scored the tournament winning goal in the Boston area recently.

Easier from up here
Its great to have centers that can play wing, but its even better to have centers who are good at center.
great win.
The whole D core looked spent.
Especially in the 3rd. They were just making tired mistake after mistake.
Will be nice to give some guys rest.

On the rare occasion where a little more has been asked of him, he’s been stellar for the Bruins. That’s on top of having a great season just in his usual role. I notice him so much more when he’s playing the rink general role at center
Haula was nice. I liked that he was a sneaky asshole out there. The trade was sold as a change of scenery for both guys and maybe that’s the truth, but Zacha has been wildly more impressive than Haula was here.

I say if Krecho retires we do Hall - Zacha - Pasta next year.
I truly think Zacha has the makings of a bonafide good 2C, more so than Coyle for sure.
Coaches know that if you whine sometimes you can influence the outcome of games—remember Trotz?
It’s shameful IMO

Back at the time I said how bad it would suck if the Bs gave up Jake for cheap and then we had to watch him become a 30-goal scorer on another team once he pulled his life back together. He is not only a good scorer now (would have well over 30 goals if not for injury this season) with the offensive skills everyone already knew he had, but he now plays as hard as anyone on the team and is actually very good along the boards and on D. He is still improving too. His value on his next contract will reflect that.
As you point out, the team had his back when he hit his low point. They never gave up on him. That, combined with the blessing of having Monty as coach, is now paying off in a massive way.

Had to do a double take at the FO numbers from yesterday
Coyle 14/23 (60%)
Nosek 7/15 (46%)
Zacha 6/8 (75%)
Krejci 4/17 (23%)
No question the future of the team largely hinges on Zacha becoming a solid FO guy. It's not easy taking those Bergy FO numbers off the team. Also shows that they may have to resign Nosek. Almost no choice.

Finally got a chance to look carefully at the stats from yesterday's game. Who the hell was keeping track of hits? Stevie Wonder? Ray Charles?
They had McAvoy and Gryz BOTH with ZERO hits. I thought Gryz played one of his most physical games of the year. Very much liked what he brought in a game in which several of the D struggled. I can recall at least two really solid hits he made. McAvoy same. I know that hits are a poorly tracked stat league-wide, but c'mon.

People keep bad mouthing their goaltending, but Andersen made four stops yesterday that a middling goaltender does not make. At least two of them should have gone in on percentages, but all four should have scored. That game should have been out of reach after the first period.
It looked like Bertuzzi was highsticked just outside the trapezoid again yesterday with no call. The refs need to pay more attention.
All in all, a really good win except for a brain fart from Clifton. It was nice to see us take it to them in their house and down five people who will start in the playoffs.

Look who showed up today. The Boys.
Anybody ask him about McAvoy penalty...lol. Did Carolina score on that?
