Goals are fun. Thomas returns to the Garden to face Rask. Florida sucks. They have the power to make evil take it's course.

I'm glad you went with this song because, if the Bruins score 6 tonight, they will have accomplished The Number Of The Beast in their last three games (including tonight).

Are we inferring that the Bruins are Satanic, or rather that they are exorcising Beastlike elements from their opponents? I'm fine either way, just needed to know whether I should draw a pentagram around my seat or embrace the darkness. Will be there for this one as a ticket fell into my lap this morning.

Well, they did have Satan on the team a few seasons ago.
 
 
Coincidentally (OR IS IT?) I am wearing my Bruins Satan t-shirt today.

Chris Kelly is due back today, so the Bruins will have to shuffle the roster a bit. My guess is Seidenberg gets transferred to LTIR after they activate Kelly. I think Spooner then gets returned to Providence at some point, either now or at the Olympics. If Spooner stays, Caron would be the odd man out, but from an asset management standpoint it probably makes sense to vary Caron around as the healthy scratch and let Spooner get 20 minutes a night in Providence. We'll see, the Bruins have a decision to make here. Either Spooner is up for good or they should send him back.

No morning skate, so I'm not sure what Claude's plans are, but I'd love to see Soderberg remain at center and have them break Kelly back in on the wing.

My preference would be to send Spooner down for now and try to move Caron for a draft pick or something and then bring Spooner back up after that presuming no injuries in the intervening period allow them to call him up earlier.
 
My guess is Soderberg goes back to wing, if not this game, then once Kelly feels comfortable again.  Kelly's much better at the dot (48% this year for Kelly vs. 36% for Carl, though in fewer opportunities) and has a long track record of good D and I think Claude puts a lot of emphasis on those things.

It wouldn't be a permanent thing, but I see no harm in giving Soderberg another game at center and easing Kelly back in the lineup.

Did Chara pull a tooth out and show it to the ref to get the 4 minutes? Cause it sure looked like it from our seats...

Preview Team Switzerland's chances in Sochi, NESN?  Here, let me get that done for you now.  None.  They have no chance.  OK, now do something interesting.
