On Pace for 82 points can only go up from here.
Oh and hate to mention it but... the goalie is giving you a peak at the 5 hole for a reason.

Detroit always play us tough.
Last 10 games we're 5-5.

I'd reward Korpi with another start. Listening to Jaffe and Razor they agree. Swayman can sit watch, learn, take notes instead of looking at his wallet.
I've always like McLaughlin. Anxious to see what he can do.

The Bruins’ matchup against the Detroit Red Wings brings another level of uncertainty beyond the usual Atlantic Division rivalry.
Boston is 5-5-0 in its last 10 games against Detroit, but Saturday night’s game is as unknown as the trajectory of the Bruins’ season.
Joe Sacco’s first game as Boston’s interim coach was a 1-0 win over Utah. Veteran forward Elias Lindholm scored the game’s lone goal, ending a 17-game drought that dates back to Oct. 12.
“[It felt] pretty good, I’m not going to lie to you,” Sacco said. “To get our guys to get a win, too, was even more important. We feel better about ourselves, and I think how we went about the game [Thursday] was like a business-like approach.”

Despite the win, the Bruins’ woes are far from over. They rank last in the NHL on the power play (11.9%), scoring on only 10 of 84 opportunities, and rank 31st in goals per game (2.33), with only the Predators below them.

Combining their offensive troubles is a defense that ranks 24th, allowing 3.29 goals per game, the Bruins continue on their uphill battle. Only time will tell if Sacco‘s leadership will make the difference.

“I think it’s a good confidence thing,” Bruins captain Brad Marchand said. “Knowing that, you know, we can play the right way and it is in here, and we can respond. You still hate the situation that had to arise for us to respond that way. It was a good game, but it’s one game.”

The Bad News Bruins.

Embrace it.

And I don't mean that in a negative way.

Rather, I'm going to root for a defense first, physical, ugly winning, pain in the ass club to play against that makes other teams pay a heavy price.

In other words, traditional Boston Bruins hockey.

Believe it or not, I'm looking forward to it.

I go with Swayman ~ he’s a stud playing like a dud, but he’s legit and a good person. I admit if I was on that team and he was publicly going about his negotiations I’d say to my significant other and close friends on the team ‘STFU, you sound like an idiot’…. However, doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like him any less - I’m pretty sure I could give him a run for his money on not knowing when to shut his mouth in his 20’s.

Korpi should get a game a week if Swayman is healthy and on his game.

Healthy with Lindholm they are very good ~ 100+ team

Not buying they suck crowd

That they are 500 with a -20 goal differential this early is a miracle

They should be in a very deep hole
Have to get him going paying him that coin

The only thing I remember about playing the Wings last year is how arrogant they were . Every goal was like a Stanley Cup Celebration.

They get that from their coach.

Team first. If sway wants to win over the lockerroom he practices hard and improves his game. The 8 million dollar needs to prove it
Did you miss the lockeroom fake news?

Not happy with Swayman getting the start.

Korpi tosses a shut out and his reward is riding the bench? Bullshit.
I would ride the hot hand until he loses. Long contract for Sway he will be ok.

Bruins could help out Monty's employment with a win
The pyramids, who shot JFK and how does Steve Yzerman still have a job are my three greatest mysteries
