I love a good comeback, and they have definitely shown the ability to do it..... but I'd prefer that they just get a lead to start and not give it up.

If they try to play 3rd period comeback hockey in the playoffs they'll find themselves on their fannies on the couch after the first round.

I can’t overstate what Taylor Hall brings to this team. I’m not an expert when it comes to hockey Xs and Os, but Hall is a dynamic playmaker that absolutely makes a difference almost every second he’s on the ice. He has the talent of a Pastranak and the relentlessness of a Bergeron.

He loves being a Bruin, and I love having him on our team.

I get and enjoy the spectacle of these outdoor games.

But the on-ice play itself is like watching a rerun of game from the late 1990s dead puck era. Every outdoor game I've seen has been basically the same. Choppy with no flow and few high danger scoring chances. Coaches (especially the road team) play it uber-conservative hoping for a mistake to be made. It is what it is. I'm just glad the Bruins found a way to send the Fenway crowd home happy.

They are lucky they didn’t play a better team. They had no business winning today. That was awful hockey for 2 3/4 periods. They have a growing list of things they need to nip in the bud fast. Starting games on time should be at the top of their list.

The Bruins looked really slow. I’d say the ice was bad but the Penguins looked faster. Is it me or was that the case?

I actually figured after 2 the Bruins would decide to crank it up and get a couple but figured overtime

This is a team last 8 minutes of Sens had 20 shots, turned up on Buffalo trailing going into third - Vegas down 3

One goal down going into third I like because they almost always flip the switch

To me they weren’t present mentally as a team till they got to second intermission

They need to add a significant player in late February just to not go stale

Taylor is what I had felt Tyler should've been here.

Ullmark again the Bruins best player.

Jake comes up big like a premier goal scorer.

Could Pasta have been any worse if he tried to be?

Lindholm struggled, as did Clifton, on D.

Coyle didn't play well, lost 15 out of 22 faceoffs and didn't generate a shot on goal.
Craig Smith? Nothing on him? Lol guy is a complet washup...he s been hurt or benched or?
