I'd rather have guaranteed home ice whoever and whenever we play. There is such a thing as momentum too you know.

Nothing game, maybe. But there's certainly a trend of letting in end-of-period goals. And if you have the opportunity to lock up home ice throughout...why not just do it and close the door?

Oh well.It is hard to have any complaints when the Bruins have the best record in the entire league.Three meaningless games left,I could care less if we finish 1st overall,let St.Louis take it for all I care.

Do they practice it? I assume they do.
Marchand isn't a good choice b/c of his reach one vs one, but sometimes he picks the corner or 5-hole.
Eriksson has some absolute beauties on youtube. Has that deceptive reach which gives you options 1 vs 1.

you guys only hate the shootout because the Bruins are so bad at it. or so a great and knowledgeable hockey mind once said
I agree...the so called prestige of finishing first means nothing to me...it's having home ice all the way through...we still will probably win but wrap,it up early Claude...

the one thing that still bothers me is the early and late goals. We costed and lost a big point here

Because having healthy players is the #1 Most Important Factor in the playoffs.
Krejci, Iginla and Miller all could have played tonight. Chara could have played 30 minutes. For what? So they Bruins will have home ice for an opponent they MAY face in the SCF? Who, BTW, lost tonight?
14 of the last 18 SC winners had home ice.
I get that we won in 2011 in a game 7 on the road, in a building we hadn't won in yet....but what exactly are you trying to argue? You don't want guaranteed home ice?

Absolutely couldn't tell on the first showing. Even on the replay it mostly looked like it bounced off the crossbar because it bounced out so fast.

Exactly. They could've essentially wrapped it up tonight. (Would've just needed 1 point in the last three games, I think). Then rest everyone if you want.

I'm sure there was a really miniscule chance we would have lost the series to Philly after being up 3-0. With the Bruins i would prefer to leave nothing to chance.
Bad habits/trending downwards heading to the playoffs are absurdly overrated by some fans. Game to game momentum doesn't exist nearly as much as fans like to think, especially when you're playing bad because you have nothing to play for. Playoffs start and you do have something to play for that switch is not hard to switch back on.
Lets not pretend that giving up goals late in the period is a new thing. It's been a weird trend all season for the B's.
I highly doubt they said 'welp...we've played 59 of these minutes, lets take the foot off the pedal to make sure we stay healthy"

I'd rather have home ice no matter who we play, could care less a/b the actual trophy.
What bothers me is you add up all the games they've lost late, we'd of already clinched it by now.
Whatever, Chara wanted an EN for some reason, and it arguably cost us a point.
