Thank you Robin Lehner for letting it two really weird fucking goals to have the Bruins win their 5th straight game. I don't want to say that I called a close game, but I did during the pre-game show that I apparently fucked up hosting and it's my dumb face doing dumb facial things while other people talk. Oh well, it was my first time so consider my cherry popped in case I need to do it again. 

But the Bruins looked tired last night, which is scary considering that their schedule is absolute shit in March. 17 games in 31 days and against of the Eastern Conference's best in Pittsburgh, Montreal, and Philadelphia (despite what their record is, they can bang). If last night was any indication of what we're in for - it could be a long March. 

Looking ahead isn't what this post is about though. It's about last night. It's about Robin Lehner being strong in net but still allowing two fluky ass goals and it's about Boston gaining a point against Ottawa. In fact, last night's win vaulted the Bruins ahead of the Senators in the standings and Boston now sits 4th in the Eastern Conference - one point behind the Montreal Diving Committee. 

Fuck it, let's go. 

- Tuukka Rask was disgusting in net last night. Dude was all over the place, positionally sound if the Senators were a 13 year old black girl, Rask was their R Kelly. He pissed all over them. Best part of the night? Rask flipping the fuck out and knocking over Zdeno Chara.

- Robin Lehner's 5 hole. It's fucking massive. Like a mix of the Grand Canyon and Kris Kardashian's plastic surgery bill. 

- Bruins penalty kill was filthier than a whore born and raised in Philly. And that says something because she probably smells like old cheese steaks and mistakes. 

- Bergeron's overtime goal. Clownshoes. 

- This retard on Twitter. 

Once I threw out the stats about Karlsson's short handed time, he didn't say a peep. Get fucked fanboy. 

- Everything about Chris Bourque. Penalties, turnovers. I went out a limb and said he's score the GWG, instead he sucked so much he could pull a softball through a garden hose. 

- Bruins clear out attempt on Ottawa's goal. Because there wasn't one. 

- Justin for buying this: 

- Power play. 

- The crowd last night was awful. They were so quiet you could hear Milan Lucic screaming at the refs like he's a fucking NBA player. Shut up and keep "skating". But seriously, the building was probably sold out (or close to it) and you could hear Paul MacLean queef. 

- People tried to do the wave. SERIOUSLY. How fucking bush league is that? This isn't Fenway. Green jerseys are bad enough. I remember when people did the wave at one Bruins game and the wife hid all my gasoline filled beer bottles. I hope Justin killed them while wearing his Bourque shirt and then someone killed Justin for wearing his Bourque shirt. 

- Me hosting the pregame show. 

- Why do people think the wave is such a good idea? 

- If the Garden ever plays Sweet Caroline is it a verbal contract allowing us to burn it down?

Hello DOY readers!

We were chatting with one of our favorite writers/bloggers on Twitter today, one Mr. Ryan Lambert.

When he's not writing awesome posts on Puck Daddy, he's doing his best to give back and help under privileged kids get the academic help they need and DESERVE. 

"826 Boston is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6-18 with their creative and expository writing skills, and to helping teachers inspire their students to write.

Our services are structured around the understanding that great leaps in learning can happen with one-on-one attention and that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success. With this understanding in mind, we provide drop-in tutoring, field trips, after-school workshops, in-schools tutoring, help for English language learners, and assistance with student publications.

All of our free programs seek to strengthen each student's power to express ideas effectively, creatively, confidently, and in his or her individual voice."

What are we asking of you? Just a few dollars. Skip a Starbucks run today or buy a beer at a bar pre-game instead of at the Bruins game and give the extra $30 you'd save to help a great cause. Literally any amount helps! Here's Ryan saying it a lot better than we can:

Man, the Ottawa Senators are the best at impersonating The Walking Dead. Outside of Anze Kopitar's lovely zombie-like exterior, the Senators are in the running for "Oft Injured NHL Team" this season. It's surprising, given how many people they have on the IR right now, that they're playing as well as they are. Since the Erik Karlsson injury at the hands of Matt Cooke, the Senators are 5-1, including wins over New Jersey and Montreal. Honestly, that's nothing to sneeze at. Here's what their injury report looks like. 

Wow. When you look at this list, you're looking at two of Ottawa's leading scorers, their Norris winning defenseman and their starting goaltender and they are still 5-1 over their last six games. It's actually pretty impressive. With that said, the city of Ottawa must be pissing themselves in happiness due to their medical employment skyrocketing. 

But that's not to say the Senators have been quiet about their injury woes the past week or so. Look at Erik Karlsson - he came out acting like a super twat on a play that looked like a board pin gone wrong. Look, I'm not here to defend Matt Cooke and tell you that everything he's done has been an accident because that would be moronic. Comparing this play to the Savard hit is like comparing apples to Nazis, it just doesn't make sense. What Cookie did to Savard is unforgivable, but what he did to Karlsson looked like a mistake. 

I know Mike Milbury came out against it, but he also traded Chara and drafted Rick DiPietro so his word is pretty much invalid. So Karlsson comes out and is acting like a super cunty douche - even going as far as not accepting Cooke's apologies. I think it's time to put in your big boy tampon, man the fuck up and let the guy say he's sorry. If anything you should also apologize to the NHL for trying to pass off as a defenseman. I'm still bitter that you won the Norris over Chara and Weber, two defensemen who can actually play defense. Jesus, you couldn't even defend your Norris trophy. 

If you look at the comparable though, the Senators are right there with the Bruins. 

The only real big advantage for Boston is on the penalty kill, but they're also the best in the league at it. Everything else is pretty comparable. Look at Ottawa's goals against per game though; nasty. The good people of Ottawa can thank Craig Anderson for that as he leads the NHL in GAA (1.49) and SV% (.952). It's not like he plays with a good defense either. They don't really "shut anyone down". They're 3rd highest in shots against this season with 645 put on goal. 

I dont expect a Pile on the Isle type of whooping tonight and neither should you. Given the numbers and the history with these two clubs last season, expect a close game. Probably 2-1 or 1-0, which will cause Mike Felger's anus to pucker because "there's not enough scoring in hockey!". Since when did Michael Felger become the radio voice for the sport of hockey anyway? WEEI, WATCH OUR PREGAME SHOW AND HIRE US TO DO A HOCKEY SHOW, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. 

After the jump, WEEI still sucks...

For last night's Days of Y'Orr Pregame Show, I had a feature all set up where we looked at how much each Bruins cost per point scored, with cha-ching sound effects and everything, and then my Internet went and shit the bed. We were able to finish the DOYLive show but I had to cut the feature for time sake.

But I didn't want the graphics to go to waste.

So after the jump we look at who the most expensive and bargain offensive scorers for the Boston Bruins at the quarter-season mark.

Today's recap is brought to you by the shape Triangle: 

If you watched the Days of Y'Orr pregame show, you know that the general census was that the Bruins would curb stomp the shit out of the Islanders and well, that's what they did. Sure, some of the game wasn't pretty (like the power play) but in the end it was a 4-1 victory and 2 more points. I kind of feel bad for the Islanders because they are pretty top heavy like Jack said, but the bottom is so bad it barely makes up for guys  like Tavares and Moulson. Josh Baily never really panned out, Kyle Okposo never really panned out, Rick DiPietro lolz, it's just a sad state of affairs and it comes from hiring idiots like Mike Milbury. 

Imagine if the Islanders still had a guy like Chara? Sure, he'd probably be gone when free agency hit, but he's one of the best defensemen in the league. He's a center piece, a building block and he makes the players around him better. Instead, Milbury traded him for Alexi Yashin - who they are STILL. FUCKING. PAYING. 

And I full believe that if Tim Thomas was playing for the Islanders and was on his game, they'd make a run towards that 8th place spot. Hell, they could still do it with Nabakov in net, but their defense is so fucking atrocious that midgets on donkeys could rip one timers for goals. 

Riddle Time: 

What do the New York Islanders and Kim Kardashian's gaping vagina have in common? 

They're both absolute clown cars. Kim K's kid is going to just walk out of that cavernous cunt hole. 

But lets hit the positives and negatives before I dig really deep into my psyche...

Show Notes:

After the show is over we'll update this section to list the stories we refer to and other notes from today's show. Here's a few links to get started, though.

- Greg's Game Day Preview on how awful the Islanders are 
- More info on the NHL realignment... might involve Wild Cards. Boooo!
- Here's video of Ryan Miller losing his shit again.

The other day it was reported that the NHL realignment proposal would leave the three division/two conference setup and to a four conference/0 divison set up, meaning the Boston Bruins and the Pittsburgh Penguins could've faced each other for the Stalney Cup finals. The possible Cup FInal matchups made the idea really exciting, but it appears that's no longer the case.

Pierre LeBrun of ESPN is reporting the proposal is a two-division/two-conference set up. Top three teams per division make the playoffs plus a couple of wild cards:

The playoff format as detailed in the league memo Tuesday calls for the top three teams in each division to earn postseason berths. The remaining four spots would go to wild cards, the top two records in each conference. That means there's a possibility five teams make it from one division and only three from another.

Not loving the wild cards, really. Way too MLB for our liking.

Also there are two names being tossed up for the Bruins divsion -- Northeast and Central. Problem with calling it Northeast is that Tampa and Florida aren't northeast unless we're watching from South America. Problem with Central is that those teams aren't central to anything either. What a shitty name. Just go with Orr or Adams and call it a day. Geographical division names are boring anyways.

Man, the Bruins really gave it to state of Florida didn't they? Just absolutely took that state and humped it into submission, like watching a drunk dog trying to hump a Japanese sex doll. Just really dug in there and just buried their puck into Florida's netting. Forget for a minute that the Bruins basically played on a melting glacier and think about seeing 12 of these games a year. This new alignment has guaranteed the Bruins at least 8-10 wins a year, which I guess is a good thing. 

So now Boston gets to finish the last leg of their tour known as the "Lesser Teams Tour" and play the Islanders on Long Island. Johnny Boychuk was on the radio today and said he loves playing in Long Island because it's basically a Bruins home game and he's right. No one in Long island gives a shit about their hockey team, but can you blame them? 

You have to feel bad for a guy like John Tavares who is insanely talented but is surround by paraplegic donkeys who can't play hockey. The guy is tied for first in the NHL in goals with 13 and is third in points with 25. After that, you have to dig deep and find Brad Boyes is their second points leader with 15. Brad fucking Boyes. 

Even when the Islanders move to the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn next year it doesn't change the fact that their roster is comprised of John Tavares and that huge pile of shit that Biff drove into in Back To The Future. Ask the hosers in Winnipeg how awesome it is to have the Atlanta Thrashers losing games. The only difference is that someone is showing up to watch them blow leads, hands out ridiculous contracts and have Stay Puft trolling the blue line and missing every other game BECAUSE HE'S ON MY FUCKING FANTASY HOCKEY TEAM. He is fucking hurt so much, I thought the DTD was 'Diet To Diet" and they were trying to have him losing a little of that baby weight. 

I wish I could tell you I was worried about this game like I was with the Lightning, but I'm not. We're talking about a 12th place hockey team who gives up 8 more goals than they've scored this season. A team that ranks 29th in goals against per game, right above Florida. Their goaltending is a Louisiana levee and the Bruins are just going to bury it in a hurricane of pucks. 

The only thing the Islanders have going for them is they can score. Their offense is ranked 8th in the NHL scoring 2.90 goals per game (and Boston is 9th) and their power play is ranked 5th at 24.4% success, but Boston's counterparts outrank the Islanders. Boston is 6th in goals against per game and their penalty kill is 1st in the NHL. 

The Bruins could just leave the net open tonight and I am still confident they would win. Maybe that's the disgusting homer fan in me that I keep medicated enough so I can be impartial when I talk about hockey (LOL OKAY) but this team has been playing some good hockey as of late against mediocre to bad teams. They have played about 5 games less than everyone else and are 5th in the East. That says something about the talent they put on the ice. 

After the jump the rest of the preview...

So the other day Ryan Miller lost his shit... again.

Oof. About time for Buffalo to show a little fight but their timing is awful. You throw down when the opposing team cheapshots you, not when your own defenseman pushes a forward into you. Same thing with Weber. He's the one who throws Martin into Miller and then he starts dishing out fisticuffs. Embarrassing. 

Ryan Miller needs to get the hell out of Buffalo. He needs a new scenary, a new team, a new management system. Buffalo is a shitshow. Look at this face. He looks like a madman. He's gone from angsty emo to potential homicidal maniac and it's all Lucic's fault, right?

The guy is a powderkeg every game now. If he's not flipping his shit post-game telling the reporters how awful his teammates are he's flipping his shit on ice and punching guys for things his teammates do.

The Sabres are a joke and even the owner's daughter thinks so.
