The Bruins have been playing for their playoff lives lately, and have responded nicely winning their last 2 games against team they are fighting with for the final playoff spots. Right now the Bruins are holding on to the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference (3 points ahead of Atlanta), but there is room to move up as the team in the 5th spot (out of 8) is only 5 points ahead of them.
The key is Rask. I know Rob you hate this, but this guy is carrying them. Since the start of Feb Rask is 8-3-2 with a 1.86 goals-against average. That is fucking flat out amazing, but still to do anything in the playoffs the Bruins need their offense to show up.
One way to do that is to convert on the powerplay, which has been horrendous since Savard went out for the year. Bruins have gone 1 for 21 (4.8 percent) on the power play. The good news is that Krejci seems to be getting it going, and Lucic finally did something last game, so hopefully he will stop being a useless piece of shit.
I think the Bruins are on a roll right now. Rask will get them to the playoffs, and the Bruins will win tonight.
