55 minutes of nothing but an own goal helped us get 2 points. Can't really complain about that and certainly can't complain about Pasta.

2 points is 2 points, regardless of how ugly it is to get there.

ugly goal to even get us into the game but whatever.

Easy to sit and complain about the forwards (like I did this entire game)

but goddamn I am proud/impressed with how well our D looks minus Chara. Take the #1 D off most teams and they suffer greatly. The D structure we play looks very solid and credit does go to Clode for that.

You also lose Liles, our D units have stepped up big. Not always pretty and Anton did have to make some really good saves but you gotta be happy with how our D have played...did not expect this good of a showing taking out Chara and Liles.

Krug 28 minutes DAMNNNNN

I want Morrow still on this team when Chara comes back, he should NOT see the pressbox. He looked good again. Really the only games he looked bad/iffy were the ones he was paired with K.Miller coming back from injury.

So happy for Anton!!! He deserved it.

It took a last minute barrage with the other team kicking it in. They got lucky and we all know it, take it and get outta dodge quick. Thank Khobodin and Krug for good games. Krug getting 5 pts in the last 3 games and plus 4 and he still will be picked on. Colin and Morrow getting more and more comfortable, Kevan doing a good job on his opposite wing, who comes out when Chara is back will be interesting. Sweeney and Cam need to address a few things after xmas. The forwards need to get going, this is not going get it done long term. Enough with the excuses about horses they have them, get them running.

The most boring win of the season thus far, as snooze-fest for 55 mins.

I'll take it. :handclap:

I think that's the first time I saw a great Bruins shoot out win?

Only surprises on the shootout came from the Whalercanes, I like that.

Lucky we were playing Carolina, play 5 decent minutes and we still win. Julien has to fix these lines up, stop playing Spooner on the 4th line, separate Krejci and Backes, move Nash to the 4th line and permanently bench Hayes. Our goalies cannot keep playing at this level all year, we need more goals.

All those who thought, at the 19 minute mark of the third period, that we'd end up with two points, raise your hand? :laugh:

Ugly, but a win is a win.

They got nothing in road games vs Montreal & Minnesota so this is a nice balancing out

Morrow was outstanding tonight, no way Julien can take him out of the lineup.

Time for Spooner and Pasta .

Unpopular opinion time: I can't get excited for this win after how poor the first 55 or so minutes were. Nothing inspired any confidence in me, besides pasta, that this team is going anywhere, especially not with this coaching staff.

28 mins for Krug. No goals allowed. And a point.

He sucks.

Those minutes are crazy, wow. Plus one tonight also, 5 pts and plus 4 in the last 3 without Chara. Guy wants to be a leader of the next core, he is proving it to me. He makes one mistake and its a page about how bad he is, and how he used to be someone or he is awful. No one else motors it up the ice like him and his partner has lost his value to me. At least get him a real #3 to play with and watch Krug get better.

Judging on quality of play: Chara-Carlo-Krug-Morrow-K.Miller-Liles-C.Miller-Mcquaid.

That should be the D order in terms of how they have played and in what order they should sit.

Not saying Morrow should be a top 4 D in terms of minutes but in terms of how he has played, that's how I see the depth chart and who should be in and out.

I'll be disappointed if after the stretch of games he's had, they put him back in the pressbox. He deserves a chance at consistent minutes, time to actually get comfortable and see what we got.

Give me Morrow's skating and transition game AND D over C.Miller's missing shots and brain farts (Hope he fixes that and pans out)
