Gustafsson obviously had a strong debut leading them in icetime and registering an assist and a few shots. He has size and skill and an offensive mentality. I thought he competed hard defensively as well.

Forbort reminds me of Sarich and I think we will grow to appreciate him in games against St. Louis, Winnipeg and Vegas who have big forwards that can score. He made a few good blocks tonight and his puck skills and passing are better than expected.

Tons of credit to Monahan and Backlund for finishing chances and getting offensive pressure when Boston needed a push.

Yet another high scoring game. Glad to see the offence rolling and hoping for another boost from a rested Gio.
I didn't see the game so I can't comment, but didn't Burke say that Mangiapane's skating was below average and even called it horrible? I certainly haven't noticed that at all and have seen him win a ton of those puck races as well.

That was probably the best our D has looked outside of the Anaheim game since Gio went down. New additions really solidified things.

Gio back next game should help even more

Default EAT #### BRAD MARCHAND - Flames WIN!

Ugly game that was completely stuck in the mud. Unbelievably impressed the team pulled out of the fire there. New guys looked good. Top 6 executed big time. BSD was solid.

Only twice have the Bruins lost at home this season prior to this game. Strong strong effort. Hopefully these guys can go into Nashville and pull off an even bigger win.

Shoring up the D might've actually been the best use of TDL trades.

They're producing effectively since the break, it's been eliminating the loosey goosey stuff at the other end of the rink.

That Backlund goal was literally coast-to-coast. Good defensive play behind his own red line all the way to the net.

Don’t see that too often.

What a feud between Marchand and Tkachuk tonight! Weird Backlund seemed to be in the middle of it every time... Cassie is great

One little play I thought was pretty neat was before one of the faceoffs in the 3rd in the Flames' zone you could see the puck that was deflected out the play before was caught in the netting in the corner......a Bruins fan stepped on the boards and eventually got it out, got down and gave it to a young Flames fan, and the crowd gave him a big ovation. Thought that was pretty cool.

Likewise! Those are rough, glad to be through that period. I don't know how people function at a high level on garbage sleep.

Awesome win, let's keep it rolling.

The defensive positioning tonight was so much better than last Bruins game. Is it more jekyll and hyde, or a shift to a better team game?

She's just getting worse instead of better.
Couldn't handle it. Turned to the Democratic debate after the 2nd and just PVR'd the rest of the game.

I'm going to flip out if they give us Cassie Monotone Campbell for a 4th straight game!!!!!

For those of us who missed the game, what were the D pairings? Was surprised to see Stone still get into the lineup with both Forbs and Gus in.

Brodie - Stone
Hanifin - Andersson
Forbort - Gustafsson
