Good win. Reminded me of the victory over Washington just before the new year where there was 100% buy-in defensively. Said it after the game yesterday, but it's almost like they need a constant reminder of who they are on paper. Actually. This team, as constructed, needs to fight tooth and nail for every win. This isn't the team from a few seasons ago that could coast to regular season success.

Pastrnak is a 10. Unfortunately, next best player on the roster is probably a 5 o 6..... It's just what it is.

Often gets overlooked, but I really appreciate the role Zadorov played (despite the late minor for tripping that almost cost them). He definitely adds a presence in a way that others can't... or simply choose not to.

Still a big fan of Poitras. Thought he had an excellent game. Competes hard and has a knack for winning battles. Wish they would stop defensive subbing him for faceoffs in their own zone. More often than not it seems to result in confusion.

Jones and Brown. Meh. I want to like Jones, but I think he's one of those guys who has tools..... just doesn't have the IQ to stay in the league. Brown. I don't know why they keep giving him looks. Playing top-6 and scoring PP goals in the AHL. Oh? That doesn't translate for him at the NHL level when you are playing 8 minutes a game on the 4th line. What a shocker. What is Viel up to?
 
Glad the bruins pulled out the win. I was annoyed with pasta earlier this season but the pasta/geekie chemistry is nice. He showed a lot of emotion after both goals, I like it. Was Poitras centering them at times or was that just during changes? I don't always catch some of those things at the game...

Didn't love coyles game for the most part
 
Definitely not what I expected. Doesn't change my mind about the need for a retool but it was a good defensive game and the type of game they have to play to win at all. Ultimately killing the 5 on 3 was the key, after another dumb Zadorov penalty.

Geekie really good.

Jones and Brown? Why? Just why?
 
I have to admit I never would have thought Pasta and Geelkie would have this much chemistry.
Zacha too. Impressed with this line!

Just in.

Freddie looked a bit pale after being sick. Nice to see him back.

What is up With Justin B?

I was so happy for Korpi...He was excellent.

Brad worked hard tonight (as always). What a leader.

Nice to see the hugs and smiles from the Bs.

Can’t stand either. Spot pickers - both.
The Upchuck brothers.

Agree Pasta is playing better and that he and Geekie are pairing well.
