I was worried that without the lead they wouldn't be able to find a way to win against a tenacious Yotes team. Or perhaps is was because Jack kept reminding me of the streak with the lead, and made it sound as if that was the only path to victory. I've grown to love Jack, but my god sometimes him and the dead horse should take separate vacations.

Either way a great "find a way" win, against a team desperate for points.

Unlike your team, it usually means a lot of diving and penalty kills. You have a good team there that plays the right way. Always been a huge Doan fan. Good luck the rest of the way, sorry we had to take 4 pts from you.

Well, not sorry, but you catch my drift.

I agree, except for Ribeiro.

Just finished watching the game. Hard battled game against a team that is fighting for the playoffs. Nice comeback in the 3rd and lot's of physical battle and zone time.

Rask played really well and the KIL line upped their play as the game went on.

Nice to see Merlot rewarded. They played a very good game as the Bergy line.

Worst game by the Yeti line in quite some time.

Strange that it's never Bart in the press box. I would keep Krug in myself...

12 in a row and 6pts lead over the Pens.

Bring on the Habs!

Was in attendance for this one, had to be 50/50 Bruins and Yotes fans in the rink which made for a great atmosphere - glad the boys could dig deep and pull out the win for me!

That must have been a blast. We could really hear the B's chants...Good job !

Watched on the DVR this morning. No puck luck for phx. Claude seemed to have played the 4th line a ton during the third period. Nice to see them get rewarded with Thornton's tip in.

He just sat out the Jersey game Tuesday.

Not just because of the PK blunder, but I thought Eriksson was terrible.

Phoenix deserved better.

What's the Bruins longest ever win streak?

"The 12-game winning streak is Boston's longest since the 1970-71 team won 13 in a row and is two shy of the franchise record, set in 1929-30."

Right on. The hits on Lucic and Iginla fired them up. And again these guy responded. Lucic is a very SPECIAL player.

The merlot line with Paille on it is very effective. These guy won the game yesterday for the Bruins.

The PB line is one of the most underrated line in the game. PB is +19, BM is at +14 and RS is at +12 on road's game. That is a luxury that few teams have. Opponent's with last change have a real big problem with that line.

On the PP, the first unit is no where it is when Krug is out.

Actually puck is rolling for the Bruins. Hope they maintain for the playoffs.

Might be. But I thought Boston played as a contender in second half of the game, fighting fatigue, long trip and adversity.

Boston deserved that game as well, and won it.
