It is really good just to see Kessel staying, I've never seen anything as cool as when he really gets into full stride and is putting all of his effort into going 100 mph out there.

The Bruins made a move today that baffled everyone on the TSN panel...They placed Kessel off of the NHL roster so that he qualifies for the AHL playoffs...something to that effect..Strange as Milbury and JFJ were baffled by it.

Yeah that was weird, I still don't really understand it.

Krejci just scored his first real goal to put Boston up 2-0 after 1 against the Sens.

Way to go Krejci..Love that kid...ANy word on when Kobasew will be back??

By the way the Sens will make the playoffs solely on their play in October and November...

He's day to day, but he didn't practice with the team today. He and Alberts skated at one end while Bergeron skated at the other end apart from the team.

I really wish I knew where to find one of your posts claiming a winning streak early in the season is meaningless.

I am sure I said something to that effect, however the Senators are a different story...They were just insanely dominant too early..They will make the playoffs based on their early season play, however they might not last very long if they continue their recent play..

Real good game for Boston, even to start it off lots of bodies crashing into boards and what not. Lots of energy. Kept changing between this and the Washington game, a couple teams (Boston/Washington) that looked energized by today. On one hand Washington made some moves and it gave them some confidence to know that they're really trying to make the playoffs, and make a run at this thing. On the other hand Boston, who Chiarelli gave them a vote of confidence by not screwing up the chemistry, and also telling them so before the game.

Yeah Boston definately isn't as skilled as Ottawa, but we are playing harder and want it more. Gerber has looked terrible, and Thomas has made some huge saves as well. Still lots of time left for a team like Ottawa to come back.

This team is just playing too good right now! Bring on Crosby, Malkin and Hossa!

Tim Thomas was great. Finally on Krejci sheesh.

interesting fact, the sens are 30th in GAA after the first 20 games of the year.

Sounds like a mirror image of Buffalo last year, I had the same feelings about the Sabres in late February, early March because they just weren't playing with any purpose. You play better hockey when you're fighting for your life.

Kobasew is back tonight.

I'm banking on the Pens not gelling tonight with all the media hype around Hossa. They'll be too nervous trying to impress everyone, and have a colossal choke. Boston 5 Pittsburgh 2.

I'm predicting a big game from P.J.
I dunno why, and maybe his contributions wont even be that noticeable in the morning box score, but I think he's going to be a big contributor tonight.

PJ is a very underrated player. He's a great guy to have on the team.

I have Kobasew and Krejci in my lineup tonight..Lets go boys

nevermind

They are playing on the same line tonight, so hopefully they score like 6 goals for you.

Would be nice..

bad luck rayray. I hope you wasted it all in the Avs game last night.

The Leafs got me a last minute goal and won in shootout too.. was a very lucky night.

I made no hockey bets tonight, just one basketball bet.

Boston WILL win tonight!

As a leaf fan the prudent thing to cheer for is a 6-5 regulation win for the Pens..Sorry Ray

I understand.

Pens started the first 5 mins or so hot, but let the Bruins take the play since then.

Bruins are making the Pens look BAD so far.

Kessel's shot off the post had to have been the loudest I've heard all season.

Sturm's slapper was pretty wicked, but Conklin should never ever let that go in, bad positioning IMO.

Lots of praise by the two UNH broadcasters on Conks, it is good to see him having a great season, it was a pretty embarrassing after the Edmonton thing. Actually wearing my UNH hockey jersey as I type.

Good first period for Bruins. Thomas made some more timely saves.

Only one forward had more ice time in the first than P.J., it was of course Marc Savard

Pretty typical 1st period for the Pens, they typically are dominated but Conklin has been bailing them out lately. Not tonight tho. We'll see if the Pens can wake up for the 2nd and 3rd.

Pretty funny second intermission interview with P.J., guess his dad is here from Sweden, so far P.J. is having a good game.

No shutout for Thomas tonight. Pittsburgh starting to put some pressure on, but hopefully too little too late.

milan lucic is awesome, that was a great fight!

I've said it before...I love Lucic. If not for the fact that I'd NEVER EVER wear a Bruins jersey I'd have a Lucic jersey.

19 years old too!

Announcers were saying that was the end of his shift as well, and Ruutu just got on the ice, then Lucic lights him up. Was beautiful to watch!
Followed shortly by Krejci's 2nd goal (and in back to back games).

What a great game by Boston. 5 wins in a row, 6-0-1 in our last 7. This team is gelling big time right now! #1 in the conference by the end of the season!

BRING ON EVERYBODY!

Bruins really get shi! on here even for doing so well. New England Sports Tonight just had a little rant where they don't care about the Bruins, they didn't care about them months ago and will not care about them for the upcoming month. It's tough to live with the Red Sox, Patriots, and Celtics. I wish the U.S. loved hockey more as a whole.

gg guys... i gotta respect when a team severely outworks their opposition. I'd prefer not to run into you guys in the playoffs.

Wow, I was just reading the Bruins site, I had forgotten that Lucic broke his nose, and yet he still faught today. What a guy!

Another two point night for Marc Savard...no surprise there.
It the Bruins just had one other offensive threat who isn't Chara I think they could have a real shot in the playoffs if Thomas can continue to somehow stop the puck.

can you wait until next season?

How does another defenceman help out their scoring for next year?

just saying that he could be a very good weapon next year?

not disagreeing that they're weak up front.

Would be interesting to see how well theyd be doing with Bergeron in the lineup.

They would still lose to the habs, but might have a few more points in the standings.

Game day!

Boston has won 5 in a row, and the Thrashers have lost 5 in a row. Both teams look to continue their streaks today.

Don't forget everyone, the game is at 1:00 EST today!

4 points behind Ott with 2 games in hand, should be interesting.

Bruins came out flying, but it has been really boring game since the halfway point of the first period.

Seems like a battle of who wants it less, we are really playing without a cause today for some reason.

Pretty gross. Boston kills off a 5 on 3, then we get a 5 on 3 and don't score, then right after Atlanta scores.

Since scoring his first goal ever, Krejci has scored in 3 straight games!

Tie game now, GO BRUINS!

David Krejci with a big goal for the Mustangs...This kid is gonna be a player...

Well it wasn't the best game we've played all season, but we got the much needed win. That's 6 in a row during a 7-0-1 stretch. Very solid hockey playing from my boys!

This will be a tough stretch though, as that was our 1st game out of 6 to play in 9 days.

i've watched quite a bit of the bruins lately and i have been really impressed. chara is an absolute monster and has been playing unbelievably and savard's vision just blows me away. i hope the devils dont have to face these guys early, i'd be worried about that one.

Going for 7 in a row, and trying to inch closer to first place!
