That was the worst game I've seen them play all year and yet they pulled off the win, simply incredible stuff we are witnessing. I keep hearing people talking about how other teams have loaded up and will give the Bruins a tough go but did the Bruins not load up as well? And look at Ullmark, he has to be a no doubter as THE top candidate for the Vezina, last nights win is squarely on him.

Anyways, a much need day off today for the B's and then back at it again tomorrow against Buffalo, hopefully they play better than they did last night.
They get four days off after the sat game with the rangers.

Leafs are actually starting to worry me a little bit, despite their choking culture. They potentially changed their identity with all those trades they made while still maintaining their offensive fire power. It's the first time they've really been built for the playoffs since they drafted Matthews.

Rangers got Kane that’s worth keeping an eye on.
Regardless it’s Carolina and TB that worry me. The leafs are going to leaf like always.

The leafs concern me. Now that they have Ryan orielly. He shut down bergy in the 2019 finals. I can't remember a year like this one. With The top 6 teams in the eastern conference loading up before the trade deadline. Teams have been crazy active.

True on Oreilly. But Bs are much deeper now too and Oreilly can’t cover everyone.

I don't worry about any of them, our defense is stronger now and if Pasta could get out of his own way and figure out how to hang on to the puck the offense would be damn near unstoppable. ROR is 4 years older and is not the same player he was in 2019, not even close. Laffs will Laff like they always do and the Canes will now have to deal with a stronger defense should they meet in the playoffs.

You should worry about all of them. I do. I'm a bruins fan. Regular season success means nothing once the playoffs start. And pasta sucks at entering the offensive zone. On the power play. He coughs it up. Or mishandles it Constantly. It drives nuts. He's looked exhausted out there the last couple of games.

I think I said pretty much the same thing in my post. I'm not going to worry over something I have no control over, I'm just going to sit back and enjoy this awesome season of Bruins hockey.

Foligno and Hall being down is going to test the depth a bit too. Someones going to be up from Providence Thursday. I'm betting on the kid from Billerica ......McLaughlin.

Yes you did. I was agreeing with you about pasta. I'm not enjoying the season at all. I stay awake at night, in my bruins' bootee pajamas, grinding my teeth. And chewing my nails in a cold sweat. Worrying about the playoffs and what could happen. I haven't slept in months. And I've lost 50 pounds because I can't eat.

Pressers today so there may be some information shared I hope.
Taylor hall is headed to long term IR. that frees up 6 million in cap space. And he can return for the playoffs.

Bertuzzi hasn't been able to get going all season because of injuries, hopefully he finds his rhythm here. Just another top 6 guy they're able to put on the 3rd and maybe even the 4th line if/when Hall is back. That's kind of crazy lol

I imagine Sweeney is going to sleep for 3 days straight after the trade deadline, he's been relentless.
