Six points, and all it took was ripping the still beating heart out of your opponent and showing it to them as it slowly stopped beating. You must be more ruthless. You must be more vicious. Roundhouse kick their chances of beating you right in the fucking teeth. Take this from them again.  

Just win.

I will be at the Joe for this one.  Most likely drunk too.  Also, a victory ties them with Detroit in points in ROW.  Detroit has a game in hand but their goalie situation is a complete nightmare right now.  Mrazek took the starting reins from Howard and has basically proceeded to give them back so not sure who we'll see in net tongiht.

They have to keep this streak going as much for the clips of The Bags as anything else.  I'm anxiously waiting for "The Mole"!

Shameless crossposting from the ticket forum
 

Hello friends,
 
My coworker and his girlfriend were supposed to go to the game on Wednesday with myself and the better half. Unfortunately, they can't go, so the two seats next to us are free. 
 
We paid $60 per ticket, Mezzanine End 425 Row B (2nd row balcony). You'd also have the added benefit of sitting next to this guy - PM me if interested, they'll probably be up on Stubhub by tomorrow. Thanks

306, row 14
From our local scribes on twitter...Connolly in; Talbot out.
 
Marchand - Bergeron - Smith
Soderberg - Krejci - Eriksson
Lucic - Spooner - Pastrnak
Kelly - Campbell - Connolly
 
Would prefer Talbot over Campbell, but so be it. Very excited to see this lineup.

....and I'd rather Kelly in the center spot, but given Greg Campbell embodies Grit and Compete Level this is probably as close to the optimal lines I'd like to see as I'm gonna get.

Man if you take out Campbell, move Kelly to center and put Paille on the LW...that's a damn good lineup.

Can't even use the usual "but but Campbell is a PKer and is too important!", because Paille is too.

Grit and Compete Level,

So one of the guys I play hockey with took his family up to some lake/hotel in New Hampshire a couple months ago for a weekend (it might have been All Star Weekend actually). Claude was up there with his family too and they got to hang out, have a couple beers, have their kids pond skate, etc. He said they talked a lot of hockey but very little about the Bruins, almost out of respect for the fact that he wanted to get away. But if I had the benefit of hindsight, I would have implored him to ask one Bruins related question, and despite all the stuff I'd love to know, number one right now is honestly what they see in Campbell this season. They're smart people, obviously there's SOME reason they keep playing him, I'd be very curious to know what that is.

NESN's production quality this year hs been worse than the Bruins performance. Just horrendous work consistently.

This is gonna be a heart attack kinda game I think. Both teams going for broke.

That flickering ad in front of the Bruins' bench needs to go.

Thank you, powers that be.
