Fuck the leaves.
Where are Thornton, Lucic, McQuaid, Chara, and Miller when you need them?

There’s always Fla/Rags. I’ll have them both on. One game at a time for Bruins.
Monty may have had them watch the Isles game repeatedly kinda like a water boarding strategy in place of practice.

I think they win this one. Losses: Calgary, Washington, Tampa (1), Seattle, LA (1), Calgary (1), Vancouver(1), Seattle (1), NYI. Regulation losses to playoff teams: 0 Loser points vs playoff teams: 3 Losses to non-playoff teams: 6 Wins: Vancouver, Dallas, Edmonton, Vegas. Percentage of wins that came against playoff teams: 100%. Points % against playoff teams since the all-star break: 78.6% I think there's a very real component of the shitty hockey we've seen over the last month and a half that is boredom from a team that has lost so rarely over the last 22 months that they really couldn't give a shit against teams that aren't playoff opponents. They don't care. They had the best regular season in history last year and because the Panthers got hot at the right time (and are proving it wasn't a fluke by being the best team in the league this year), they lost in OT in game 7, and ever since, the narrative has been that they are disappointing chokers. When they have to play a team that the league thinks is a real contender, they go out and remind them what Bruins hockey looks like. When they have to play a wannabe, they go through the motions content to get in and see what happens. Whether that's 1% or 70% of what we've been watching, I think it's there. This is what I was alluding to when I said the Toronto brings out the best in the Bruins especially on the road, book. Your take is more to the point of them possibly flatlining against clubs not in the playoff hunt even though the Flames and Isles are on the fringe.

So with the general feeling this board seems to have for the B's at this present time i imagine a 12-0 LeRf victory is in store. I imagine Nostrils will get 9 gls and Bert a hat trick. Swayman will start but will be pulled after the 1st period after TO pumps 5 gls by him, to be replaced by Leenus who will promptly give up 5 gls in the 2nd prompting Monty to put Jeremy back in for the 3rd. The 3rd will start with a furious B's push which will lead to a Grzelcyk gl but is challenged by TO for an illegal stick used by Matt. Referee's Charron & L'Ecuyer along with linesman Cormier & Fournier get together and confer and after grabbing a ruler and measuring Gryz's stick decide that it is indeed too long and the gl is negated. This takes the air out of the B's balloon and thoughts of a comeback are vanquished, from there the LeRfs pad to their lead with Bert getting 2 empty netters. There is much glee in Hogtown as the media is overcome with joy at the prospect of TO catching the B's for 2nd place in the Atlantic and home ice in their 1st round matchup which Nick Kypreos confidently says is a foregone 4 game sweep by Canada's team!! Joe Haggerty is late putting out the game report, falling asleep and getting locked in the press buffett room. Whose the E-BuG Tuukka at home, Zamboni driver in TO.

Had my doubts about Geekie with his consistency. But boy does his contract look great now. Had the best 5v5 points for his TOI last season. Seeing why now.

I was about curse JD for not shooting. But ended up being a great decision.
