Marchand is a game time decision, but sounds like he’ll be in. Backes is back. McQuaid out. Wingels out if Marchand is a go.
3/13- Bruins @ Hurricanes
- Thread starter cshea

15 games left.
@CAR, @FLA, @TB, CBJ, @STL, @DAL, @MIN, @WPG, TB, FLA, @PHI, @TB, @FLA, OTT, FLA
Some thoguhts:
3 games against tampa, and 4 against Florida. 3 regulation wins against Tampa could get the #1 overall seed in the East. The WC does not scare me as much anymore, given how clear the Bruins are of it. Florida is fighting for the WC though (3 points back with 2 in hand of WC2) so all 7 of those games could be tough. Also, both Florida road trips are in March/April, and not over the winter when they would have been a nice break.
If it's B's Tampa in the second round, the B's are going to get 3 really good looks at their team as it is constructed going into the playoffs. I think the 3 Tampa games, and how they set up the potential matchup, are really the most important out of this important stretch.
10 on the road. 5 at home. AAA H AAAA HH AAA HH. 3 trips. Two through Florida and one through the Midwest.
The only games with teams that are NOT playoff bound are @CAR and OTT. This team has been good, but this next stretch is going to really test their readiness. If they can get 20 points (for 114 total) out of the next 15 games, I'll be ecstatic.

It really, really sucks having Bergeron hurt, but this has to be awesome experience for Riley Nash and should only help them in the playoffs, as long as Bergy is healthy by then.
He still seems to be getting stronger, too, both on the puck and on the body. He is going to be an absolute beast.
Decent chance Pastrnak ends up as the best player out of his draft.
That 2014 Bruins draft class has the potential to be franchise altering. Pastrnak, Donato, Heinen, Bjork, Johansson.

They really miss McAvoy tonight, they can't seem to get the puck out of their end with any kind of transition to offense.
DeBrusk is back. What happened? The Carolina stream didn't show a replay. Why did they blow the whistle?
