Bruins need to start matching some of the physicality. Blues players are hitting guys late and well after the puck has left, Bruins forwards have to start returning the favor when we're in their zone.

Blues winger just jumped 5 feet before the puck dropped and for once they actually let play go. Sure.

Seems like Dunn is low hanging fruit. Punch him in the jaw and make them skate 5 D for two periods

Absolutely this. Play by the rules the refs randomly decided on tonight and knock some teeth out.

Edit: Also, hit their fucking goalie it’s legal now.

That shot of the Blues fans celebrating outside in the square after the second goal was just about the saddest thing I have ever seen.
Because they have no other sports except boring baseball and are relegated to rooting for a sport that hillbilly rednecks don’t understand.

Show of hands for anyone who remembered the 9 seconds in which Gretsky played for St. Louis.

Anyone? Anyone?

Bruins are a threat every time they are able to carry the puck through the neutral zone. Just need to get to that point. And start skullfucking some Blues.

I do because he turned the puck over that led to the greatest goal in NHL history.

I love the Great One. Childhood hero. Got to see him play once at Pittsburgh vs Lemieux (then a rookie). He was sick...3 Assists and a Goal if memory serves

The 2nd half of the period the Bruins did a really good job of keeping the puck wide in their own end. The obvious exception being the goal. STL needs a lot more danger zone chances with rebound chances if they are going to win.

B's just need to be patient and take advantage when STL D doesn't control their gaps as they are prone to do. Keep it within 1 through 2 and they'll take it in the 3rd. I don't think STL is conditioned well enough to keep up the pace.
