JDB hurting, benched, or taking a maintenance day?
Oh, there he is. I can't get over Heinen as LW on the Zacha line. It feels like someone's missing.

Please let that be the Dpairings for the playoffs. I like the D, but JVR should be in for Lauko and on PP1

March has been the main cause of killing PP1 followed by MacAvoy. It is so obvious that the penalty kill is overplaying Pasta to make those other two beat them, and they are simply trying to do too much often fumbling the puck or forcing the issue. March does not have the skill set to one-time the puck and MacAvoy won't shoot it trying like hell to get it to Pasta. Zacha can one-time it and Shattenkirk plays more simply so I see this as a good effort to mix things up.

The bumper spot on a powerplay should always be a right hand shot. Monty just saw something he has absolutely not liked in JVRs game. Not sure I could leave him out of the post season.

I don't get it..88 and 12 have zero chemistry...oh wait, that's all they have...and this is going back 3 months...and only now it's okay to take 63 and 73 off PP #1?...just like refusing to put 46 on the PP #1 for the longest time..but when the season was on the line, oh then's it's okay

Maybe Monty’s noticed that Van Winkle has one point since the groundhog made his prediction on the arrival of Spring…. Van Winkle belongs in a three-piece suit during the playoffs…. Plus he won’t need to go past his bedtime when the games go into ot….

JVR also lost 30 pounds, this season, when he was for a spell sick. I really wouldn't mind his presence back on the 3rd line. If Monty says no, I get it. This is more than likely JVRs last season. Great start to the season then hit a wall.

When I look at that Bruins lineup. How the hell did they win so many games? It’s kinda mind boggling. I hope for Tbay bc I think the leafs are gonna do damage.

It was magnificent coaching (except for the PP), mostly consistent goaltending (that changed a bit since All-Star Break), and let's face it Sweeney did some shrewd little things, and it all worked, even Peeke and probably Maroon too. Every forward has contributed in bigger ways than expected.

B’S would’ve swept the ice with the Laffs…. Not so sure versus comrades Kucherov and Vasilevski…. As for the Laffs, the only damage they’re going to cause is to the Nielsen ratings in the GTA area when the Cheshire Cats dispose of them once again….

JVR is better just on the fact he has front net presence that Jacob will never have. He just might have lost too much weight with his sickness.

When I look at that Bruins lineup. How the hell did they win so many games? It’s kinda mind boggling. I hope for Tbay bc I think the leafs are gonna do damage. But look at other teams. Everyone has some weaknesses this year, and not too many teams have two 20-20 scorers on their 3rd line. I don't think it matters between Tampa and Toronto. Both are good enough to beat the Bruins, and the Bruins can beat both too. A hard matchup in the 1st round doesn't hurt. It will be all about who shows up. I think you have to hope that a couple guys on the blueline play above their heads, while the forwards and goalies stay strong and healthy. There isn't much room for error with this team, that's for sure. Monty needs to get the most out of them.

A lot of the credit has to go to coaching, getting this much out of this B's lineup all season long is nothing short of a miracle. Contrary to what some B's fans think Montgomery has done an outstanding job. It isn't just luck.

You could be right about TO, but when i look at their defence and especially their goaltending i can't see a long run. On any given night Samsonov or Woll can be hot garbage, not a recipe for a long playoff run. I could however see them win a round and that's against any team they will end up play

Whether JVR has a nagging injury or hit a wall he hasn't been as effective as earlier in the season. I do think he will see action in the playoffs however, i hope he gets his mojo back because he can get a big gl or two.

Maroon is Lucic with the puck and I like it. Nice call Don.
