Like the slash on Marchand that chopped the stick out of his hand, not that I thought it warranted a penalty, but you damwell know if roles are reversed 63 is getting a penalty there. Just how it is.

The year the Bruins won the cup they were top-5 in goals scored in the regular season. They also averaged 3.13 goals per game in the playoffs that year. Need to do it on both ends of the ice, which I know this team can. They're not right now.

Cup driven
So, uh, I guess I'll ask the tough question: Did anyone in attendance of last night's game call 911? 
OK everyone step back from the ledge lol. Yes disappointing loss, outplayed the Habs most of the game, Price was good, not great but good. We made it to easy on him by not getting in front of the net. Also, to many shots did not get to him.
But if we play the way we did last night all the time we win most games.

I'd be curious to know the numbers the last 25 years. Obviously, 1 cup to 1 cup but against each other? I'm not sure bruins have the edge but I may be wrong.

For the players who were playing in their first Habs-Bruins game, not so good a showing.
Clearly they do not know what Bruins fans expect - and I do not mean fighting.
Loui, Iggy, Smith - none of them rose to the challenge.
Some of the vets did little better. No real fire from Chara. Nothing clutch from Bergeron. Good plays but no killer instinct from Krecji. Kelly was meh. Marchand looked dazed - maybe Habs continually hooking, slashing, punching him with no calls confused him.
No hitting game from Bruins whatsoever.
Price was solid but not really tested much - one or two saves, and lucky on some he misplayed.
I am as big a Habs-hater as ever lived, but I appreciate that there are three or four Habs fans that can come here and discuss hockey rationally. They are worth reading, and even if not totally objective (not like I am either), they are interesting and passionate.
The rest, go home and tell mommy what a hero you are.

I felt terrible after the game - we lost the game, we lost Boychuk because of Pacioretty who then scores the GWG, we lose first place. I was not excited about the game anymore after Boychuk was injured, I just wanted it to be over. All of that together made for a painful loss.
Today it has sunk in that it was just a 2 point game. The Bruins had to deal with their emotions after the injury. This isn't the playoffs where everything is at stake.
Hopefully tomorrow they will play with more fire in their bellies.

I became a fan during 87-88 season. I believe the playoff matchup score since then is bruins 7, Habs 4.
I'm not that young so you have to be pretty old to still think about Habs dominating the bruins.

Well last night was a huge disappointment. It is so crazy how a loss can bug you for a little, but a loss against the Habs really drives you nuts for a few days. (Why it is the best rivalry in sports. I love being able to hate a team so much haha).
Obviously I'm still pissed they lost, but the good things about it is that it are that is was the first game of (4, correct with the new divisions and such?), not a playoff game, and we have plenty of games to take back the division.
Plus, i really don't think the Bruins are playing the hockey we know they are capable of playing. They need to solve their second period problems, and figure out how to get some key guys going. It is scary though that the B's are not playing their best, and yet are 2nd in the division (were first until last night).

I remember a stretch of 10-12 straight wins for the habs not long ago. That's why I'm curious about the numbers. I'm not arguing them but it would be cool to have them. I asked on habs board if there's a way I can find the info.
Aside from the Penguins, the Bruins have "Christmas gift" games for the rest of the December, that hopefully they will capitalize on.

Pastafarian!
I remember Ken Dryden shutting them down !!
I tells ya kids ain't got no respect for their elders these days
Cocky? No, not cocky in the least bit. Just not concerned over 1 loss in December. Rask was not on his game and his entire team took the 2nd period off. 'Just think what the' Bruins would have done had Rask been on his game and they didn't take the 2nd period off.

My unscientific research found this:
Since 1987-88 the Bruins are 62-79-12 vs. the Habs in the regular season and took 7 out of 11 playoff series from them.
(I didn't tally shoot out losses, just counted them as wins/losses)

Where did you get the info? I'd like to know so next time I don't need to ask around!
To be fair, you never really said playoffs. Still, I was curious anyway.

You are right, i never said just playoffs.
The Bruins have had a slight edge the past 25 years or so...
sarge88 provided the numbers and it shows. Like I said, I was curious. It's good to know!

I went to Hockey Reference and looked at the Bruins record by year and did a tally chart.
Probably missed a game or two along the way but it should be close,
