"Textbook hockey by the Bruins for 60 minutes tonight", at least according to Anson Carter. Well played. Lots of energy. Youngsters looked good and Louie Jr looked comfy with 13 tonight. 55% at the dots, 75% PP, 100% PK, 20 Blocked shots. Like to see > 10 hits but back home for Devil dogs Saturday night. if they could clean up those D-Zone exit blunders (ie Heinen trying to dangle thru 3 players and numerous puck barfings trying to make fancy exit passes) — we get our old familiar team back. The d-zone exit blunders have been a problem for a long time now. Gives the opposing team easy zone time, puts too much pressure on the goalies, etc. But I don't think dressing Grzelcyk, supposedly a puck moving defenseman, with one lousy point so far this season for $4.25 mill (cap hit $3.6875 mill) is the solution. Far from it.

Best game they've played since the Detroit game during Halloween! Let's see if they can start making this their normal game all the time.

Completely saw what was missing from B's, but two guys that I've singled out for bad play--tonight they were outstanding--Root Beer engaged, checks, forechecking, great passes, couple of shots that have gone in in the past--great game..Lindholm best game in a long time, skating, moving, carrying the puck, just a great effort...but obviously the B's transition game, PP perfect 3-for-3 (3-4, but 30 seconds at end who cares, not a real PP), PK incredible, Lohrei big time, C&C doing his thing (2 goals), Marchie really making so many good plays...so impressed though by the superb short passing of JVR--this guy makes subtle, great passes ALL THE TIME...he puts a puck off the boards to set up a 2-on-1, he has these quick touch passes that set up scoring chances. He has been just a great pickup for B's. The B's size stood out again in this game...when they use that size and it's not necessarily about banging people, but just outmuscling for pucks and outplaying the other team's forwards...B's hockey finally played last night. Great job, big win...Sway rewarded FINALLY as he still made some dazzling saves...73 obviously the SAVE OF THE YEAR (next to Ullmark's incredible kick save from a few games ago).
ADDED THIS FROM MONTY IN GLOBE...TRUER WORDS NEVER SPOKEN Montgomery was particularly impressed by DeBrusk, who also landed three shots on net in his 16:19 time on ice.
“I thought Jake was our best forward tonight,” Montgomery said. “His habits … his speed was noticeable in checking … hanging on to pucks, making real good decisions. It makes a big difference when he’s the player we know he can be.”
THAT IS WHAT I SAW ALL GAME FROM HIM. DIFFERENCE MAKER..B'S WIN.

Buffalo plays a poorly coached team, cant see them holding onto Granato too much longer. Break outs, entries were horrible, like last game, maybe worse, looked like they were bumping into each other out there.

Forgot to mention that the Sabres have granted their players their own goal songs. Of course that has led to some IMHO more than just questionable picks, like "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" (ABBA ), chosen by Victor Olofsson...

Great PK, great PP, Coyle pretty good, Swayman good and Lindholm thankfully seems to be rounding into form, looked like the guy from last regular season.

Oh and DeBrusk had a great game albeit with no gls but he had a couple assists and was all over the ice, involved, now if he can just get the goal scoring mojo back.
