Let's see what he has to say. It can't be "I felt we needed a spark." I'm going to laugh my ass off if that's what he says. I didn't see it and I'm shaking my head.

I just watched the extended game highlights on NHL.com. I know that doesn't tell the whole story but does include plays other than the goals. Boston looked like they were hustling and created some good, high danger chances but either couldn't cash in or Hofer stopped them. A lot of shots seemed to go right at his pads. That weird carom off the boards in the Bruins' end was a sign this was not gonna be the night of the home side. That little hesitation of Lohrei's at the St. Louis blue line put his club in an outnumbered position for the Blues' third goal. Too bad Braseau's goal was called back because I liked his straight - ahead move towards the St. Louis net. It was him who caused the St. Louis defender to rush his clearing pass that was picked off by Boqvist by steaming in on the guy. Kind of a flukey goal but he showed soft hands in cradling the pass then what looked like a deflected flip off the goalie's stick up and over into the net. Keep that guy in the lineup. Shabland next.

Probably should follow nite's lead and maybe not hand out 7 mil a year until we see Roadhouse in playoffs. Ullmark sure played great last few starts. I'm okay with a goalie controversy if it means the B's win with whatever goalie ends up playing better.

3 Stars of the Game...
1) Clarence Darrow 2) Jimmy Hofer 3) Brazzers

I'm okay with a goalie controversy if it means the B's win with whatever goalie ends up playing better. Between periods of the Bruins and Pens, Messier said the Oilers used two goalies back in his day and it worked out, danny. $12 million between Ullmark and Swayman, if that's his wage aim is a lot between both. Start the salary accommodations with ridding the club of Number 48's $3.688 per year cap hit after the season.

Maybe the B's are getting all their embarrassing hockey out of the way BEFORE the playoffs this year?!
That was would be nice...

Bipolar Bruins reappear. Craziest team I've seen me thinks. Now I only care about health heading into the post-season.

Some real bad defensive break downs in this game. I'm not sure if the on the job training is good for Lohrei or hurting him at this point.
4th line was their best line all night.

A lot depends on matchups but i'd be surprised if Lohrei starts in the playoffs, we'll see. It seems the bigger heavier teams give him issues. If the B's open up against the LeRfs then he could be an option but as we know playoff hockey is different, -3 for Mason last night.

He’s a 6’5” string bean right now…. Also sad if he’s unable to unseat one of the “big three”, Grezlik, Forbort, or Wotherspoon….

That was fun. Blues pick up win after losses to Devs, Isles and rags. That last shot attempt by Jake tells it all. Just not their night. High point — no injuries that we know of. Due for a good one vs Scabs Thursday Just so you know a team is not going to lose every game so the law of averages were in St Louis favor to win tonight.
the above isn't a cliche...you can set your watch to it. this one was much different than the isles game... the reverse of both TO games, which really weren't reflective of lop sided scores. bruins didn't play horribly. they were off a smidgeon, and had no luck. Blues had great luck. I'm a fan of statistics. the sum of them, and that's where folks get messed up. they hang their hat on only those that support an argument, vs search for the truth. our guys usually get outshot. we dominated in that area. give aways and take aways were within tolerances. blocked shots? ...nothing telling there. shots on goal 5 on 5? our guys absolutely dominated there too. whiffed on the pp, and the penalty minutes were equal. you'd expect we could keep up on the pp, against a team like the blues...we didn't. pulling the goalie? don't get that. expected goals for is an interesting stat. this is based on zone time, quality shots etc, and is measured for both teams. Bruins 3.28. Blues 1.68 a couple quick goals really changes things. same as a come back does. wasn't a fun game to watch, but nothing to get too concerned over. look at this one statistically, and if every game mirrors that...the Bruins are playing .850 moving forward....

Good analysis. The same thing happened to the Bruins in game 7 against St Louis. The Bruins were dominating the game and then St Louis got a goal and it was like the Bruins got kicked in the nuts so hard they couldn’t breathe the rest of the game.
