I know people shit on him a lot, but I'm an enormous fan of his. He does everything right.

Claude shortening the bench and going for the win. I love it.

I gotta say, I love Connolly's game so far tonight. If this continues, what a phenomenal pickup.
 
Was coming here to post the same thing. Especially for a first game back, kid looked real solid.

I totally agree with you, I think Kelly is a perfect player for this team

Plays with an edge and is a bit of an agitator, as well.

For all the great things Loui has been doing lately, his celly game needs some serious work.

Yeah, based on this one look, that was a great trade.  
 
I'm also impressed by Trotman - the goal was obviously huge, but putting that aside he's looked pretty solid playing with Chara the last couple of games.

At least ottawa is playing the caps on Saturday while the Bruins get Toronto. If the Bruins take care of business like they should, then the outcome of Ottawa and Washington should be good either way.

With Washington and Ottawa both winning tonight in OT, this comeback by the B's may well have saved their season.  Wow, what a win.

I love it. B's will enter the playoffs with a ready-made playoff intensity, having had to fight for every last point.

What a win. Rask kept them in it early and Bruins really started skating as the game wore on. Chara had a rough game and Bergy is tough (duh). The Swedes were quiet most of the game then came up REAL BIG. Connolly had an awesome game and looks like he fits the Bruins' mold. He's listed as 6'2'' 180, but he looks bigger than that to me, certainly played bigger than that and brought an edge to his game that no other Bruin had (aside from Marchand although that's something different too). Defense is definitely my biggest concern now that the Bruins forwards are starting to show strength in their depth. It can't be overstated how much having the Looch-Spoon-Pasta line has settled down the rotation. Gah I'm so excited for playoff hockey.

BRUINS.

Few things better than celebrating a bullshit win in an enemy's spot. Soderberg looked like hell, I like wgat Connolly brought (especially the edge with finishing checks and whatnot) and Spooner on the half wall was awesome. That said, Tuukka deserves the first star. Team played like shit and you could barely tell from him holding up rebounds and stopping play. Happy my drunkeness a Marathon Monday purchase of his shirt jersey after the Sabres game is still useful. Almost as much as my "Anti-Chia, I'd have rather kept him and guck the Cup" Blake Wheeler shirt.

On a whim last night, me and three friends decided we wanted to see an OHL game.  So we're driving to London for the night to watch London and Kitchener face off in the playoffs.  Should be a fun time.
