So relieving to see a response like this after game two. Let's hope they keep going to the office and get two straight wins so they can get a little rest. They need it desperately.

75% of our roster cannot pass, it's galling.

There's your Presidents Trophy curse. Bergie better come back, we can't win a faceoff without him.

Especially huge without Bergie out there, they fought it early, and fought the refs, but fell into a nice tempo in the third, and put the panthers where they belong. Nice win without the captain, can't wait to see them whole Wednesday!

not liking these standards from the refs Ticky tack hold on foligno followed by McAvoy getting boarded behind the play uncalled. Incompetent Agreed, there is a noticeable double standard in this game by any metric.

That last PK looked incredible for the B's. Forceful, confident. That was a joy to watch.

Refs were clown car tonight. Bergeron takes a high hit, blood on his ear, initial call downgraded.
Marchand's stick handling looked more like is old self tonight, his passing is some of the worst on the entire ice. He's consistently passing to the other team. It's odd considering his shooting is so elite normally. (By the way, he has zero short handed goals this year, and he's in a 12 game goalless streak which is one of the longer slumps he's ever had.
Krecji looking sharp again with his passing. It was noticeable tonight.
Frederic looks wretched. He's reverted to being an oaf with no touch. Sad after how well he was playing just a few weeks ago.
Lindholm generally looks gassed. Obviously a great pass on the game winner though! His first shift in OT. I hope they get him some more rest. For the first ~30 games of the season he might have been the best player in the entire NHL.
Zacha though. He's like a rocket, flying around the ice, but his shot is so pray and spray. He's wild thing coming out of the bullpen. No idea where it's going. If he ever dedicates himself to honing his shot accuracy he could be a really great player.
The Power Play had a couple moments that looked like it might be figuring something out. Never scored though. Tough to tell if it was how terrible Columbus was, of Boston figuring it out. I'm hoping for the later. They're going to get punished in the playoffs if the powerplay stays as limp as it's been for the past six weeks.

You really hope this isn't the end of Marchand's career. Double hip surgery...it looks terrible and has for weeks. Hopefully it's fatigue and he can return to some sort of form.

Marchand should get 2 weeks off...he's a net negative out there currently.

Bruins are playing garbage hockey right now. It's painful to watch after the rest of the season. Losing to crap teams in crap ways.

Forbort is such an oaf...he's looked terrible twice tonight, cost us two goals.

I really want Marchand to get a full week, or 10 days off, or whatever it takes. He looks terrible out there.

Still fighting it. Raycroft just outlined it on the intermission report: Earlier in the year, they had focus, they had killer instinct, they had finish. Right now, there is a lack of all of those things. This is an objectively different team for the past ~week. I hope they fight through it and get out of it, but given the past ~10 years, this is a team that doesn't always fight out of it. They often cave in and lose. I pray this team is different. This year has been a hell of a ride so far. I have enjoyed watching them all year so much, up until last week. What a year, please boys, bring it around. No first round chokes!

Marchand and Krejci look extremely old right now, super tired. They really need a couple rest days somehow, some way. They both play incredibly stupid when they're this exhausted. Glad to see Pasta find his shot again today, maybe he goes on a hot streak coming up.
Overall team is fighting it badly right now. The Fatigue of this dense schedule is something they're losing to badly right now.

They looked dead tonight. At one point no shots for ~10 minutes in the third. After 4-5 days off? Team looked gassed. A bit concerning.

They’re playing like a-holes today, I kind of love it Haven’t seen them try to bully another team in awhile. Sending a message on national tv against a playoff team 100%, they look stout today!

Gotta love what we're seeing out of the new additions already, and what Bertuzzi generally brings to a team (based on every other year of his career when he doesn't suffer two broken hands in the same season).
Makes you wish you had the space to sign an Orlov, Hathaway or Bertuzzi to complement the core...sadly, Taylor Hall and Charlie Coyle say hi, with their absurd salaries compared to their production. Swayman likely gone too. Maybe there's a cap bump next year that gives us some room for one of them to stay around, or you get lucky and dump Reilly and somehow wiggle one of them in...of course then there are your top two centers...

Frederic has turned into a pretty impressive player this year. He's fun to watch.

Did the ref get an assist on TB's second goal? That was absurd. Agreed, Refs tilted the ice all night. Forbert got high sticked, same way Marchand hit the other guy, barely touched, yet Bruins get penalized. Completely different standards on goalie interference calls. Apparently TB's D-men can cross check 5 times and throw tantrums and nothing happens to them. Absurd Reffing all night.
