Just when it seemed that all hope was lost, like our heroes were defeated, that we had lost too many in the Snappening/ Dusting/ Decimation…
the Bruins found a way to come back and win not one game but two this weekend.
First up, they soundly beat the Toronto Maple Leafs in a scrappy, chippy game that saw three fights, a flagrantly late blindside hit, and Matt Grzelcyk get 30 minutes in penalties.
That late hit by Zach Hyman on Charlie McAvoy resulted in a two-game suspension.

Toronto’s Zach Hyman has been suspended for two games for interference on Boston’s Charlie McAvoy. https://t.co/1qvBURr6sM

In between all this other action, the Bruins managed to score 6 goals (JFK, Backes, Krug, Heinen, Krejci, Donato) while only allowing three. We’ll take a resounding quota win!
Next up, a game with only 18 hours of turnaround. The Bruins took on the Tootsies in Ottawa and skated away with a win in OT on a goal from Torey Krug. Krug scored his first and second goals of the season in back-to-back games.

Oh and Tuukka Rask was pretty good, too, allowing only one goal.
The Bruins handily won the game they had no business winning and squeaked by, albeit on a back-to-back weekend, playing this team, playing the beautiful game.

Next up, the Rotes come to the Garden on Tuesday.
Hey, look at this:
These are the pucks that the NHL will be using at the Winter Classic to tell if the pucks are above freezing and need to be changed out. PPG Paints developed this with the NHL.
Awesome!
Hmmm

I don’t know much about Puljujarvi. A 20 point per year guy with upside potential? Doesn’t scream “slam dunk” to me. Sounds like a good gamble for replacing a guy like Backes who is probably declining in performance, but I don’t see how that would work considering the team they have. But the B’s have a lot of youth already.
Yup. Maybe he could benefit from a change of scenery, but if the only move you make is a maybe, that’s not great.
As long as it’s not Lucic …
Butt teh Brooinz need teh tughness!
Maybe he’s gonna traed Tuka
Hi Pals!
Yay, Bruins! I thought they were the better team vs Dorondo. Great job of shutting the Leasts down in the Romulan neutral zone, where they generate speed and separation.
On the ice last night for a double, then over to the Empire State for a little reunion with teammates from the Reckless Racoons, a coed team i playef on for a few years. Always good to see old friends, relive a few glorious( in our minds ) moments. One moved to Smashville and loves it! She’s playing on 3 teams and says winter ain’t so bad. Hmmmm.
Home by 130….. Can i go back to bed now??… Thank you!!!!
Coffee later!!!?
Morning all. Going to be a stupid long week. Just have to keep reminding myself to get through this week and next week then three days off! That’s the best Christmas present possible.
Hi all
This would be even more hilarious if it weren’t for the fact the Bs still failed to score on the play…
I thought at first it was the Sens goalie who posted it, but it’s a different McKenna apparently. Shame.
Morning, hockey pals!
