[BsEuphoria]

Time to see how bad you boys want it tonight. Play it like a game 7.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Going to be a tough game, the Bruins will be hungry especially because they lost their last game against Tampa - but tampas offense is a real problem for the bruins, they'll need big games from Bergeron Krejci and Marchand as well as Rask if they want to close this out - good games from everyone else but these 4 need to lead the charge

B`s absolutely need to stay out of the box, just can`t give the Bolts too many PP opportunities

If the Bruins lose tomorrow in regulation they're probably 50/50

They are 1 point in back of Toronto who has 2 in hand

They are tied with Ottawa who has 2 in hand

They are 2 points up on Tampa who has a game in hand

Does ottawa hold the tie break over bruins? I thought it was ROW and the Bruins are ahead in that regard. So is it head to head then?

The 1st tiebreaker is ROW and the B's own that over TOR, OTT, TB and NYI.

The 1st tiebreaker is ROW and the B's own that over TOR, OTT, TB and NYI.

So the Bruins are lower than ottawa right now because of the game in hand?

 

[Seidenbergy]

Yes. Whenever two teams are tied in points, the team that has played fewer games will always be listed above the other team. The actual tiebreakers only come into play when they've played the same # of games.

The playoffs alone would be fine but again the goal needs to be to avoid Washington. They have to catch Toronto or Ottawa to make this truly something to look forward to.

I just want some playoff hockey, I don't think that's too much to ask

Exactly. I do think we can get 2nd if we win tonight.

 

[remer]

Some "BIG" games tonight.

Bruins need a win over Tampa to secure a spot.

Go Washington and Detroit.

Bruins could use some help.

 

[patty59]

Exactly. I do think we can get 2nd if we win tonight.

If they win the next 2 games they have a legit shot at 2nd or 3rd. I'll take anything at this point though.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

I'm only thinking about this game,win it in regulation than I will worry about where they finish later.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

The 1st tiebreaker is ROW and the B's own that over TOR, OTT, TB and NYI.

So ROW is the first tiebreaker even in the case of a 2 way tie?

 

[Pay Carl]

anyone else been more nervous for the late season playoff races than the actual playoffs?

 

[Roll 4 Lines]

There's prolly no logic behind my statement, but Toronto scares me as a playoff opponent just as much as Washington does.

 

[bruinsfan1972]

So ROW is the first tiebreaker even in the case of a 2 way tie?

Yes. Even in the case of a 16 way tie, if they all play 82 games then ROW is the first tiebreaker

 

[Kate08]

We can't make it to the game tonight, so you're all welcome.

 

[mjhfb]

Now that Rask is rested this is the perfect game to make a statement and steal one. Really steal one.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

There's prolly no logic behind my statement, but Toronto scares me as a playoff opponent just as much as Washington does.

If the Bruins can get an offense only team like Toronto it would be our best bet. As long as the officiating doesn't match the last regular season game versus them....

Ottawa would be tough to beat with their system unless the B's score the first goal each game.

Montreal has Price (and Claude).

The other Eastern teams would be far tougher.

You can pretty much guarantee the officiating is gonna suck against Leafs
