What's the call there? Checking into the end boards? I heard you say you were going to kill Morrissey and Tanev has a hat trick so no touchie? I'm confused.

I came into this game indifferent toward the Jets.

I'm now convinced I would hate them at least as much as Vancouver in a 7 game series.
I've only been able to watch since right after the Heinen goal, and I was just going to say this Winnipeg squad is an echo of the 2011 Canucks. The perfect, despicable combination of dirtiness, diving and whining to the refs.

They called it boarding. The real call was “Winnipeg hasn’t had a PP all game and the Bruins have scored 3 PPG so we’re looking for any reason to call a penalty on Boston”

Miller’s skating improved leaps and bounds prior to and during last season. He’s not an offensive weapon, but he’s also not a chip-off-the-glass guy anymore. He can skate the puck out of trouble.

One of my favorite under appreciated narratives of the development of this team. Three years ago people were calling for this guy to get out of town. Bruins committed to him, and now we see why. Love the fire.

Very happy with getting at least a point tonight. Game could have been over in the 2nd and probably would have been if not for the boarding.

Hand up, I was one of them. I was wrong. He's been great the last year+

Credit to FL4WL3SS (ugh I feel dirty for saying that) for pointing out that the biggest problem two years ago was him being asked to play above his level. He's not a first pairing buy, but is a great bottom pairing guy. That plus the injury he was fighting clearly made a difference.

I'm still right about McQuaid though.

Marchand is drunk tonight right? Not even mad given how well he has played all season but this isn't the same Marchand tonight.

Is overtime in the playoffs going to be 3 on 3 too, or does it go back to the old playoff rules, sudden death, 20 minutes, etc.?
