Orlov firing in one-timers is hilariously reminding me of how Kaberle literally wouldn't shoot.

The thing that really sticks out to me about this team is they have that innate knack for making you pay. Whether it's a defensive lapse, failure to clear the zone, turnover, loose rebound by the goalie, whatever it is, the Bruins will take advantage even if you think you have the ice tilted.

It's very recognizable because recent Bruins teams have too often been on the other end of that—seemingly dominating play but can't find the back of the net and then in the blink of an eye the opponent buries a backbreaker.

On Orlov- never really got much of the premium PP time or spots in WSH because of Carlson and Ovechkin. We might be unlocking something.

Between here and everywhere.
That he stayed in the box, and came out after the penalty is encouraging - hopefully it’s something stupid like he opened up the sutures on his leg and they’re just keeping him out as a precautionary measure.

This is what I was thinking. Started bleeding again and they told him to hit the showers.

EDIT: Told him to hit the showers 'cuz they don't want to have to trade for Ken Linesman.

Hopefully, just something like the leg wound re-opening.

At this rate, one of their many defensemen will be playing LW soon.

I'd offer to play for free, but I just came down with the fucking shingles again, so I am unsure how effective I would be.

right here
Wasn't thrilled with the way his legs twisted in that hit with the penalties but hopefully just a stitch thing

Only bummer here is Buffalo is unlikely to pull the goalie. Swayman will have to wait another day.
Was thinking the same thing but then thought maybe they'll pull him earlier, thereby increasing Swayman's opportunity . . . to get a hatty.
