So my cable box decided to explode late last week and I've been unable to get it dealt with yet. ESPN+ has blacked out all the games, anyone got a lead on a place to stream these in the interim?

Yup, great run. Kinda what I expected tonight given the back-to-back with no Bergeron.

That said they were absolutely awful taking care of the puck tonight. Errant passes, turnovers, etc.

Minnesota had good structure all night, played chippy and strong on the puck and won more than their share of 50-50s. Bruins should have had at least one more PP, but I’m not sure what they would have done with it, anyway. They had zero flow, tonight. Sway needs to work on wraparounds and melting it down in the crease during scrums - puck gets away from him there, too frequently. Otherwise he’s obviously the guy.

And they probably come away with a point if Forbort does the one fucking thing that he’s supposed to do well. Instead, as usual, he’s standing there picking his ass instead of picking up sticks.

I love that he’s added some nastiness to his game. I wish Carlo would learn from him.
He's always had that streak. But as someone who doesn't watch a ton of regular season but follows along and locks in for the playoff push and playoffs, he's matured a ton as a player and with that his nastiness has also developed alongside that. That said, I hope he's a clean player going forward, because even though I don't think he's necessarily a headhunter, he played on edge last night. To be clear, I thought his aggressiveness and physicality were damn-near perfect last night, but it's a fine line to toe.

Again, maybe because I'm not watching night in and night out but last night's game looked super physical to me, and the Bruins were mostly up for it.

Early on the Bruins were not matching Minnesota who had clearly been given the St. Louis Blues' SCF playbook, complete with lots of after the whistle BS. Bs were on their heels and down 0-2 before they attempted to match the intensity. In a one-goal decision, "mostly up for it" is a good description of how to get on the wrong side of the score.

Edit; missing definite article.
