Tuukka is a great teammate too. Unfazed as usual postgame: "the guys battled."
“Oh yeah, it’s good,†he said. “We obviously like winning more than we like losing.â€

I thought he struggled a lot last night. Other games he has created chances but that line just wasn't having a good game.

Seems to have been a little too indecisive with the puck the last handful of games. It looks like he is trying to make the perfect play instead of just making the best play. He has killed some odd-man rushes for them recently. But that line has been good all year. I think he will snap out of it quickly.
Krejci is finally being targeted by other teams top players and he just needs to fight through the extra coverage and move his feet more to get the space he needs to create plays. He also needs to shoot more when covered this way.
It is ok to be selfish French Fries
It was great to see Loui along the boards in full beast mode.
Merlot line is back.
The SKY line was fantastic again ( 3rd line: Smitty, Yeti, Kelly).
Looks like we can finally roll 4 lines again.
Big test tomorrow night. Potential Finals match up perhaps?

Can Rask play all our games?
Guy was amazing last night and not once did I get worried when the Rangers were in the attacking zone.

Came here to say the same thing. Anyone saying 'the only reason Rask puts up good numbers is because of how good a defence he has in front of him', should just be directed to highlights of this game

Tuukka is so even-keeled. Unless he played terribly, it's difficult to tell whether the Bruins won or lost after a game. It's funny when other fans think he's some kind of head case.
Tampa lost in LA last night, so the Bruins are leading the division and the conference.
On another note, the subtle anti-Bruins bias at Puck Daddy is becoming more blatant. Today they lead with a picture of Boychuk falling on Nash (not holding, not tripping; falling) and sarcastically label it "legal defense," and Rask gets an "honorable mention" for a career night.

They're basically a cranial-sphincter separation for Marchand away from leading the league in goal differential. Safe to say that overall they'll be fine.
Room for improvement? Sure, but on the right track no doubt.

But when you look at the league standings, the Bruins would be out of the playoffs if they were in the West.
That's not a knock at the Bruins, just a comment about the east/west balance.
I don't believe I have ever seen conference domination like this, even if it is early.
I guess getting rid of Detroit and Columbus really improved the neighborhood.
Or maybe the worst of the east played the best of the west early on, and as the games pile up, the west best will beat each other up, while the eastern teams will further bury the Florida's, Buffalo's, Jacket's and Philly's.

He basically is.

Which means... nothing. The Bruins don't play in the West. I mean, it's probably a fun thing to discuss if you're into stats and comparisions and that sort of thing, but bottom line, it's irrelevant.
In 2011, there was a constant chorus about how superior the West was, and how that meant the Canucks were going to wipe the floor with the Bruins. Didn't work out that way, though maybe it provided some comfort to Canucks fans to know their conference was so great?
I actually root for Western teams to win every time they play Eastern teams, other than Boston of course, as it's all the better for the Bruins.

This post really confuses me.
Honestly, the very last thing this team needs is more grit, and if you believe that McQuaid is one of our "top 2 good all around D men" well..I don't think we need another Adam McQuaid either.
An all round D man like Seidenberg? Absolutely.
Enforcer, Backup Goalie, and a downgrade at RW? No, no, and No.

This team needs 2 things, health and Brad Marchand to pull his head out.
Aside from that, this team is solid.

That and maybe one other upgrade would make this team dominant, in the Chara/Bergeron window that's what you're looking for. We're solid as is.
Lmao Bruins 1st seed in the east right now. If the playoffs started today they wouldn't even make the playoffs in the west.
I knew you would like that !
Tuukka...43 saves
Shawn Thornton...Shouldn't be sitting out any games anytime soon.
Damn straight I liked it!!
Maybe Shawn just needed a little rest.

This was already talked about a few posts above.
It means absolutely nothing that the B's would not qualify right now in the West, because:
1) They don't play in the West
2) The season is only 20-22 games old

Well said. Was nice to see the bottom 6 have a good couple games indeed.
Krejci isn't physical, but I don't think he minds the extra attention he gets from defenders. His track record in the playoffs (when teams are likely to engage and overplay him more) speaks for itself. If opponents want to shut him down..."challenge accepted"
