My short-term memory is failing me. Have we surrendered late one goal leads to Montreal, Toronto, Detroit and now Minnesota in the last ten days or so? Can that be right? Were all the opponents' tying goals in the last three minutes or so? Anyone know this off the top of their heads?

I'm a little worried the Bruins are developing some bad habits in the last few games because they don't mean anything and that they could carry over to the playoffs. Hopefully that's not the case.

Never mind, memory did indeed fail me. I blame my inner Eeyore.

Everyone turns into Paille in the shootout.
Marchand's looked better on replay than it did live...credit where due, that Koivu goal was a thing of beauty.

We are so fucking pathetic in the shootout.
 
3-4 on the year is not exactly horrible. And there's no shootouts in the playoffs, so I'm not worried.
 
These are tuneup games, they had their 2 top scorers out and were playing a D at forward. I'm more than happy with a SOL and no injuries.

What bad habits? Going 4-1-2 over the last 7 games with a makeshift lineup?
 
I dare say people might be getting slightly spoiled by their last month+ of play. If they looked lazy or disinterested, then I'd be worried.

They are exactly 0-4 in shootouts I've watched this season...maybe I'm the problem.

Let's roll Smith out there, he couldn't put the puck in the ocean right now
 
You mean despite the fact that he scored tonight and was 2 for 2 in the shootouts this year, including scoring a beauty last Sunday in a shootout against Philly?

Anyone know what happened to Kelly? Claude mentioned he was out for all of the third but I don't pay enough attention anymore to pick up on things.

And I had no idea who the hell this new mod was for a solid four posts.  I don't like change.

Yep, not only 2 of their top 4 forwards out, but Corey Potter played 13:50, Meszaros 17:06, and the fourth line all played > 11:00. And they regulation tied a good WC team who had something to play for.
