Carlo is leading ice time by 2 minutes, 14 minutes all even strength, even though he has 4 minutes of penalties. Nice to see Bruce putting a lot of trust in him in a huge game. His confidence is definitely back up from that February drop off.

In games I`ve watched the Bolts not playing the B`s, there success comes often when teams try and run around chasing them. Stay in your zones/lanes, force them to create rather than race around chasing them. Just one dummies thoughts

This is an excellent summation.I think you nailed it.Tampa will push hard here in 3rd.

I think he will be - it's probably his last coaching job- I believe his family lives here and will stay here and raise their family which is 3 young ones

He must look at the Bruins and want to cry - if he was coaching this team as successful as they are he could have had a 20 year run

As much as I loved Claude behind our bench, they wouldn't be...

I'm missing the game but keeping tabs on the score. Backes got sliced? What the heck!?!?! As if we needed another injury. By the sounds of it, if it's 'only' stitches then he is lucky. I wonder how much time he'll miss. Assuming he's fine, aside from the stitches, is there a possibility that he misses time while the cut heals due to a potential infection?

The kid is playing great 200 foot hockey. He is showing he has top-4 skill. One of the things that has surprised me the most is that he plays as if he is a lot bigger physically.
Ever since he sat a few games , he has been awesome since getting back into the lineup . He ain’t coming out now , no way !

It's going to be real sore . And I am sure he will not want no rubbing against it or be hit there for a bit.Just my 2 cents .

remember all those years, if not decades where the Bruins used to do this vs the Habs. Only difference there would be they were trying to decapitate them at every turn but there is still a similar pattern. When teams chase opponents, it almost always winds up leaving open men, when you play within a disciplined system, it forces the opponent to try and create and when your a team used to putting up numbers like the Bolts, when that isn`t working it`s tough on them.

Yea now that I think about it your right .They did get caught running and going out of position for big hit.

They need to dial back a little he starting to look a tad tired. Doesn’t seem Holden is playing much
