Think the only way we get in is if we won't the last three and Philly and or the Islanders fail badly. Isles and Philly are getting in the only way they make the Playoffs is as the 3rd seed in Atlantic. its either them or Det Philly's probably in but they have 2 left against Pittsburgh and anything can happen when those two play each other. Bruins really only make it if 3 teams that are playing reasonably well suddenly shit the bed and if a team that's shitting the bed (Boston) starts looking like a contender.

The Islanders have been playing worse than the Bruins right now. He have 4 tough games this week plus Buffalo.

They had Martin Jones they could have dealt Tuukka for a kings ransom. I think this looks good on B's management. I've stated as much already. But that would have been management admitting they were in a rebuild year. I don't think Jones would have the team quite where they are now, but it would probably be close. I don't think Rask gets nearly as much in a trade now. completely agree but it would have been the right thing to do for the franchise. Martin Jones is going to be starting in goal for the sharks in the playoffs and I have watched him in games against the kings and ducks and he played well. Bodes well for the Sharks.

A boatload of kids with a good but maybe not elite goalie would have been a good thing. Especially with who they have between the pipes in the minors.

Thought for sure the extra point was coming. And why does it take a clock counting down to make the Bruins put one towards the net and have one or more players converge on the net

Boston or Detroit HAVE to get in as 3rd seed. Each have 3 games left with Wings a point ahead. If Bruins win remaining 3, they're in regardless..Only way they win last 3 and not get in is , if they all go to OT and Wings win tiebreaker..

Oh goody, late period goal. The Chicago house of cards will collapse in the 3rd! Difficult to imagine the Hawks blowing this one - even without a couple of regulars. Not that watching Joel Quenville blow a circuit wouldn't be the most fun you can have on a Sunday of TV watching.

Well fun while it lasted. At least they made a game of it but no way should a team in a must win situation be spotting anyone 6-0 leads.

Well at least it seems their offence is back. Rask plays a lot better at home so hopefully it all comes together.

I watched the first period and was about a half period behind time wise and fast forwarded it to 4-0 before I had a chance to stop it. Fast forward to 5-0 and then I shut it down. I'm happy I didn't waste any more time. The Hawks up 6-0 obviously went into coast mode so I give the Bruins zero credit for making it close. Rask should have been traded instead of Jones because he's proven over and over again that he's not a big game goalie, never was, never will be. No doubt we'll have to eat half his salary if we are to move him.
This team has no business making the playoffs, we're so full of holes it's better we get a lottery shot. I'm ready for more bigger changes this summer than last summer. New coach, Rask trade and a Chara retirement etc. Time to clean this shit show up before Bergeron is an old man.

True there Eddy without a doubt and a lot of the blame got to go to the horrific goaltending. Rask can be an excellent goaltender WHEN there's no pressure on him and I think he gets rattled easy. We all know the defence story but everyone is to blame for spotting a 6-0 lead. I agree with what the Bitter Man said. Why don't the Bruins play all the time like they did the last half of the game. TBM explained it better but you get the drift. After watching this game, I think they'll make the playoffs or at least I think the offence will be the last 3 RSG's. Rask GOT to be better, Gus don't have it, we need Miller back {imagine that} and the D has to at least play 3 decent games and we'll win final 3..

In theory they have a better schedule than the wings but with the way they've surf at home this year, and the way they play down to their opponents level, I'm not convinced.
They can't afford another loss.

It was a total cluster fuck as far as ANY control by the players in the 1st period & 18:54 of the 2nd. Tuukka & Gus had NO help ,they looked so disorganized making zero tape to tape passes ANYWHERE on the ice,complete NO puck luck. Glad I came but par for my life luck now.If I hadn' t had this planned since early Jan. Never would' ve happened .

You've now been to a game there and Chicago is a great city. Too bad the B's blew chunks for the 38+ minutes but can't change that now. Good luck on the employment front, just stay positive as something will come up soon.

hopfully the bruins see how they NEED to play and how they CAN play with that last 20.16 min/sec.
i thought they would go 4-2 in last six. they still can. they need to win these next three. and they should. but we all know about should.
