My entire family minus my Dad got it back in 2011 after a trip to Applebees. Never ate there again. Though my mom swears it came from a nursing home my late grandmother was at. Idk. All I know is, I ate there and in the morning it was...chaos. How we all didn't have to use the toilet at the same time is a miracle.

I genuinely lost 9 pounds. It was then I found the power of pedialyte. It saved me. Great stuff. Highly recommend lol
 
Nice, almost casual win. Don't mean to undervalue it as the Panthers came to play and battled pretty hard, especially in the first 40, but the Bruins were really only in 3rd gear or so for the most part and of course had a few ill players and still won fairly comfortably. They way they just shut the game down in the 3rd period and smothered Florida was impressive.

Let the sick guys rest up, evaluate where you can do better, then go to work again on Wednesday. If all players are available, I'd prefer Freddie over Foligno, but vets tend to be favored where possible in playoffs, so I'm not sure it will go that way. Forbort verses Gryz has been debated extensively here, but it was no surprise to me at all that Derek got the nod. It's obvious that Monty likes him, and seems to figure the team needs more of what he brings as a shutdown defender, while the Bruins are still strong enough in transition without Gryz. I'm not wholly sure I agree, but the coach knows best. We'll see Matt at some point anyway.
 
Ending their dynasty run would be fun.

Exercise some demons on the way
Yes it would!

But… “exercising” demons only makes them fitter and stronger. The Bruins have given their demons enough exercise over the decades. I would recommend “exorcising” them.

Just having a little fun before I have to leave for work. ;)

Be back later!

I hope the boys get this virus out of the locker room soon and get back to full strength - better to get it over with early in the playoffs. Bertuzzi must be having the time of his life, first playoff game and he didn't look the least bit nervous. I agree, those pickups at the deadline are paying off already. Yes, Orlov made a mistake which cost a goal but he will be making up for that.

Our Captain was not going to miss being part of the run, whether sick or injured or both, he wanted to be there and good for him. It isn't like he is going to give it to everyone, they already have it raging amongst them.

I loved how the B's totally shut Florida down in the third, watching them dominate when the Cats should have been the ones doing that out of desperation. Sick team, missing Bergy, still got the job done. WTG Bruins, get well and get even better for tomorrow.
 
Florida played a fantastic game yesterday. Not an inch of ice went uncontested. Sold tight checking game played on bad ice. Florida seems to throw anything and everything at the net. Boston picks their shots much more carefully. Though I will say that this game would have been a parade to the penalty box during the regular season.
 
NHL really is missing a marketing/sponsorship opportunity...

"The Imodium Podium"

Anyway, good win!

I'm going to start off by saying that prior to the game, I think that *most* of us, myself included, focused too much on who wasn't playing or might not play, and not enough on who actually did play.

Obviously, Pastranak; Marchand; and DeBrusk were huge as was Ullmark. Big game from him. The defensemen and the overall play in the Bruins' end was really what decided the game. There was a battle for every loose puck and the Bruins won most of those battles. The tide had turned to the Bruins' favor in the third period and Florida just didn't have enough to break through. I loved the chemistry between Taylor Hall and Trent Frederic, and on the whole Krejci line.

A solid win against a relentless opponent.

Can't wait for Wednesday night.

I know they'll keep FIggy in, but I would't mind Lauko's wheels for the next one.

Every game that Gryz misses this series extends the length of his career. Man it's physical out there. Like even Charlie was getting pushed around, and that's not common!

I'm also surprised they kept that practice even scheduled for today. Wonder how many won't be there.
 
I’m team Gryz, but you understand why they might shy away from Gryz this series. It was a f***ing war in front of Ullmark all night. If that is how Florida is gonna play: low quality shots with chaos in front, I don’t think it matters if Gryz has a 60% Corsi and Forbort has a 45% Corsi…Forbort is going to do a better job in making sure those point shots stay easy.

Like what Bertuzzi brings, Bruins needed player like that

He and Coyle were the best Bruins forwards.

Based on what coach said after I don't think he'll adjust it either. This is the way. Situationally Forbort is more important. We have other guys who can drive the play the rest of the time.

In the NHL playoffs in a physical series, Gryz is our #7. Nothing wrong with that, only speaks to be ridiculous depth we have. If he was 20 lbs heavier, he'd be in. That's sports.

4th line looked good. Foligno looked okay after being off for some time.

Forbort didn't miss a beat. He's needed for this physical series. Under-rated dude.

Coyle the only Bruin with more blocked shots last night. Forbort doing Forbort things! Now can he clean up the giveaways? We'll see... first game back and all.
