Ty, here we are First place overall again but a World of difference between last years Team. However, WHY on gods green earth does it feel like this team will struggle to win 4 playoff games ? |

Agreed.
They may be winning some games, but how they win those games scares me.
Blowing leads and lack of defense does not bode well for the post season.

Maybe they are lulling the league into a false sense of security?

It's all about How you Handle that Forecheck in the Playoffs
I mean this team does struggle in their own Corner, I'm hoping Peeke, Wotherspoon will help in that department, Other than Chucky, even with the size they have, they still do get pushed around a little too much.
Fortunately there aren't too many teams that still play that way, other than FLA, CAR, maybe TB, that's pretty much it for the East, BUT when the opponent knows that's the Key, they will be pounding the D, again and again.
That being said they really should be able to survive the 1st round this year

He does Look Good
So that could be your 4th line - I know they will give Marooned that spot if he's healthy and Lauko will have something to say.
Braz / Boq / Beecher
Lauko-Moron
just have to hope Heino can keep up the offense when it gets tight, man what a year he's put in, just the exact description of the 7th Player Award

There are certain players I love watching. I don't know why but Heinen has always been one of them. He is not the toughest and not the most dynamic scorer but he makes a lot of stealthy plays, plays hard and he hounds the puck. He can play anywhere in the lineup and it's good to see him get rewarded for it.
He also must have the worst agent in the NHL.

He has grown significantly since his 1 first stint with the B's.

Agreed! Not seeing the weak backhanded cross ice passes in the neutral zone anymore (that invariably got picked off and went the other way). |

The best example was the goal he managed to score while getting rocked in front of the net(I think that was the Philly game?) In his first stint, he was an ineffective perimeter player rarely below the hash marks let alone in the slot. He's toughened up and matured into a very useful player. |

I think they take into account recent trends, not just overall standings. What's Bruins last 5 games look like? Who they played and how they did. (example the 6-5 win over Philly was not exactly impressive)

I know, and I was female doging about them with my buddy the other day and he's like... "settle down, they're still in first place"
tonight should be good, they tend to bring it against the top teams.

The Nasty Duck power rankings would have the Bruins falling around 28th in the league. |

A week ago I would have placed in middle of pack based on how they were playing.
Now? 7th is not that far off
