4/6 vs Ottawa - I'm Wheelin' and Dealin', I Make a Little Bit of Stealing

Toronto losing in regulation tonight means a Bruins win on Saturday and we would get the Sens and stay out of the Metro.
Given the chippy shit Ottawa was dealing in all night, getting only one PP (to their three) was a bit of unfair dealing by the refs. For instance, B's D-Man hit from behind next to Tuukka, Pasternak thrown into the crossbar after the whistle, Moore keeps his gloves on and, takes three shots to the face and it's matching minors, Stafford's stick chopped out of his hands and broken.... c'mon guys, if you want to let them play then call the Ottawa embellishment on the face off to even things up a bit. Hate it. Night after night after night.
Edit: B's looked a bit tired too....

Deep breath there, stripes. This team dug themselves out of a pretty big hole to make the playoffs. That they're a little help away from staying out of the Metro bracket is huge.
I'm just stunned that the Bruins went 0-7-1 against Ottawa and Toronto in the end. I mean, they are not that good. If there Bruins even win just 2 of those games, hey run away with second place
Since the four-game skid, the Bruins are 6-0-1. Three weeks ago this team was in trouble, and now they're going to finish third (or second) in the division. Mom always told me to be grateful for what you've got.
Bingo. Either a Bruins win or a Toronto regulation loss in one of their last two games and this is over. Absolutely nothing to complain about right now.
I still think Toronto is fraudulent. They're exciting but their goaltending is suspect and their record is inflated by OTL. That said, in the next 2 years they will be legit. But this year, not so much.
I would guess they rest holtby the last 2 and maybe ovechkin too....... I can hope at least
If the Bruins want second in the division they need to
1) Bruins win against Washington in any manner, and have Ottawa at the very least lose one in regulation and one either in OT or a SO.
2) Bruins lose in OT or a SO to Washington and Ottawa loses both remaining games in regulation.

On the Caps side, Saturday's game is the front end of a back-to-back. They have a home game Sunday against Florida to close the season out. I'm sure they'll rest some guys in one or both of those games. The Caps can sort of pick and choose their opponent. If they don't want the Bruins, they can bring backups and rest guys. If they want the Bruins then maybe they use the game as a dress rehearsal.
Having home ice is always good, but are we totally sure we don't prefer a Metro team to Ottawa? At least the Bs have beat Columbus and Pittsburgh this season!
Considering that the first opponent would be the Caps I'd say no.
Cassidy just said Krug and Acciari are out for tomorrow and are considered day-to-day.
Khudobin is in net tomorrow and JFK is a possibility. Cassidy says they won't rest anyone.
