Bruins lose in reg

Bruins choke away a 3-1 lead and at least a point

You love to see it

I somehow missed this as I was pounding back pints.

Carolina is a mickey mouse franchise... hope that trade blows up in their face.

Don't know man. They play a game that can cause trouble come playoff time.

No need to panic. We've been guaranteed that the Leafs will win the Atlantic and the Stanley Cup.

It's like no one has watched the first 50 games. Ottawa, Tampa, Montreal, Detroit...they're basically all the same team. Win a few, then lose a bunch of games to other bubble teams, then win a couple again. They will all battle for third in the Atlantic and the wild card spots. One of Ottawa or Tampa could also catch Florida for second. Boston, on the other hand, is done. I don't think they will even get a wild card spot this season.

Goaltending is good. Regular season means nothing. Need to see if they are willing to play outside their comfort zone in the playoffs.

I agree that the regular season means nothing. The only purpose of it is to finish first in the division to get a more advantageous first round matchup. Everything else, including personal stats, is irrelevant.

Thanks for nothing Sens!

Matthew has all the talent and the looks. Brady is a poor mans Matthew Tkachuk.

Ottawa is hilarious lol they keep winning 4 games in a row....get the Sens fans all jacked up....and then puke over themselves for the next 1-2 weeks and just repeat all season.

Ottawa is a bubble team, but I would still prefer to avoid them in thr first round.

Allright Canada….improve your tv commercials or never allow two Canadian teams to play on Saturday night. These commercials are worse than what the Leafs gameday crew produces

That's kind of nice, best buds traded together to the Flames.

Pulled from the game before the trade due to migraine vision issues.

Just noticed that Tampa is in Montreal this afternoon.

With a win they can close to within 2 points of the Leafs.

Wasn't this the same quote used last week in relation to Ottawa?

Tampa is a better team than Ottawa. They beat them twice a few days ago.

 

[HolyCrap]

The fight for the wild card positions is pretty thick. Excerpt Buffalo. They are still terrible. lol. I genuinely feel bad for that fanbase.

Yawn. Personal stats do not mean as much playoff success by a mile, but they are certainly not irrelevant and people need to stop claiming that they are.

You’re effectively saying the history of this franchise is irrelevant

To clarify, I'm saying that for this collection of players at this times regular season stats don't have relevance, not regular season stats in general.

I somewhat disagree but still better

 

[BallardEra]

Utah and Caps game looks like an 8-7 final type of finish.

Kucherov out with UBI today and didn't play.

 

[PromisedLand]

LOL at Dubas continuing to F-up the pens. How hilarious it is...

 

[ToneDog]

Scheifele should be on the team. Thompson should be the starter.
