Seguin looked good tonight. Bourque looked good tonight.

But the Bruins need to start putting the biscuit in the basket more often.

Talk about a huge goal with 1.5 seconds left in the second period….A nice road win to get that rotten third period taste, from Buffalo, out of our mouths.

the bruins looked extremely tired. lucky to walk away with the win.

another yawner.  These guys won’t remind anyone of the 69-70 Bruins

They aren’t the Rangers but a win, on the road, is indeed a good cure for that stinker in Buffalo…
WEEI and in general, Boston media and fans have lampooned the Rick Pitino rant over the years..but the more I read posts on this site and listen to callers, he was dead on…I’m looking at some posts here and on other threads…folks are either very stupid or just love to wallow in negativity…it’s a culture that convinces those so inclined that everything is “bad”… 

Very few teams would.

Glad to get the win tonight and almost had a heart attack with that last Jet’s play. the B’s sent. Too much time at the end o the game in their own end. Missed Lucic tonight and am sure the Jets were glad he wasn’t there. Borque played a great dame and happy to see Marchand score a goal, especially sine he deserved a plenty shot. While I remember the 70′s Bruins fondly this current team rock. This is our year, just like ’70 and ’72 this will be ours ’11 and 2013.

Agreed, but you have to remember most of the times average fans only come on these boards to “vent”. Compare the amount of comments after a win and after a loss. The boards are usually flooded after a bad/tough loss as opposed to a win. You also get the New York faction checking in pushing their agenda. I really think we’ve been somewhat spoiled in the last 10-12 years having every major team win at least on title. Most of the younger generation has never gone more than a couple of years between titles. Not to sound like an old bastard, but we went from the Celtics in 1986 to the Patriots in 2002(2001 season) with zip in between. To go along with a ton of “big game” losses and might have beens. The Patriots had not never won a Super Bowl, The Sox since 1918, and the Bruins since 1972.

Oh well, I just hope we can reload and get right back to every team having a good chance at titles.

*never* = ever

Interesting analysis. I wonder if that applies to all fans or just Boston fans in general, either way its extremely annoying. Anyway, good to see Seguin get on the board again, maybe it’ll break him out of his slump (similar to how a bball player starts hitting shots after seeing one go in). I’d also like to throw some serious props Marchand’s way. 8 goals in 12 games is damn impressive (for comparison Stamkos has 9 goals in 14 games, although he also has 12 assists, Nasty). I appreciate how he has dropped the attitude and cheap shotting, and become more of the skill player we all know he can be/is. One more stat to ring his bell, almost 45% of Marchand’s shots go in, that is ridiculous! 

 Yeah, Marchand really has cut down on a lot of the cheap stuff(he’s still a pest) and probably because he realized what a microscope he’s under at the league offices. I just wish Lucic would come to play every night.

Yes marchy will be a sniper inthid league.

You got that right.  Getting the puck in near the net from the point does not have to be delivered with 100 mph slap shot.  I think that is part of the issue with the PP.  Who wants to be buzzing around the net looking for tips and rebounds when Z is unloading the cannon ?  Just work it in there and see what happens.  Nice two points indeed.

I just need to learn to ignore these folks…and I use the term “folks” loosely…the vast majority of them are dowardly because you KNOW they’d never say what they write to anyone’s face…just remember; “Boston fans are losers”…

A win is a win, but this team is in serious need of a goal scorer.

Everyone wants a perfect team- this team sticks together, plays above average D, great PK, good offense, solid 1-2 in goal- overall above average team. So what do you hear about- below average PP— what people fail to realize sometimes is every team has a weakness, this team will never be perfect, but they are still damn good!

It seems they play stronger with a tighter schedule- I think with the time between games it has slowed them down for whatever reason. not bad to come out with 2 points when you know you didn’t play as well as you could have

Marchand is playing great hockey. That kid is really something special.

Marchand is playing such great hockey. There is nothing worst than a PEST who can also find the back of the net.

Also, if I were coaching, I’d rather have 5 – 7 guys with 20 goals each a sesaon than one or two guys who do all the scoring. B’s have depth and that what makes them a great team. Go Bruins, keep up the good work.

Solid win, despite a somewhat lackluster effort. Sometimes a team doesn’t has it but still knows how to win and I think that was the case in this game. 

Question, what is up with Chara? I have never, ever seen him get knocked down like he did last night. He has looked slow this year. 

Around February last year I noticed he took a low hit or something and his knee bothered him from then on. I wonder if it is the same thing hampering him now. He seems like he has something slowing him down more than usual. The effort is there, it just looks like he is moving in quicksand out there. 

I agree, he hasn’t looked like himself this season

One year older, no preseason to get ready….??

 The whole team hasn’t looked like the B’s from the last few years. They aren’t playing anywhere near the physical way they used to this season. Their physical play seems to have diminished even further since the Thornton and Scott fight. There was at least 1 fight a game before that bout and Macdermid has the only 2 since and he’s now down in Prov. I don’t care how much flack I take for this post, because everybody on here is talking about “boring” and lackluster” and their 100% correct. The team that brought the Bruins back to being Big and Bad was the team everybody loved to watch because they were fun and exciting games to watch. There were fights and hard hits and a sh** ton of goals and a certain attitude and swagger. That team has disappeared. I’d rather watch Lane Macdermid go out like a wrecking ball, hitting everything in sight and drop the gloves and drive hard to the net than watch Chris Bourque skate figure 8′s and play non contact hockey and rack up a measly 2 pts.
