Bruins at Islanders

Few thoughts:

Tuukka really brought his A game

Another weak game from the refs. Both ways.

I thought the PP looked better, despite the results. Realistically, if the PK stays this hot, anything from the PP is gravy

This is a good team

Bruins at Panthers

Few Thoughts:

Why do the Panthers exist?

That goal by Chara...um, there are no words

The fourth line really needs to step it up. They have been flat our bad lately

That PP goal by Kelly counts, but jeez that was not a pretty PP

Weaver is a dirty player. These guys have nothing to prove to each other, but I'm a bit surprised by no retribution. Lucic play was a penalty, and the Marchand hit was borderline

The Lucic non-call, followed by 4 + 10 was classic NBA-style officiating. Compounding your own mistakes with more mistakes

Chara needs to stop with his habit of poorly timed penalties

The stat that Jack gave that the Bruins are +0 shorthanded is absolutely ridiculous

Bruins at Lightning

Few thoughts:

Maybe instead of an enormous jumbotron, Tampa should invest in a playable ice surface

Stamkos' shot is just ridiculous

Another weak goal for Rask. Plus he seemed to be getting out of position far to often.

Marchand ain't snakebitten like Seguin

If the refs are gonna make that call on Chara at the end of the 2nd, they missed about 10 calls throughout the game on the Lightning

Too bad Horton couldn't get the hat trick, but he seems to be getting his feel for the game back

Bruins at Jets

Few thoughts:

* Jets fans may be the most overrated in the league. Yes they are loud, but given the reactions, they are none too intelligent about hockey. Not saying they're bad, just not worthy of the praise they receive.

* To call the officiating questionable would be an insult to questions. Not that there were a ton of non-calls or bad calls, but the ones they made (or didn't make) were horrendous.

* The game was so close at the end because the refs missed a super-obvious trip with 10 seconds left

* Seguin's got some sweet hands

* Also on Seguin, people need to shut up about whether or not he is physically engaged etc. He is.

* Bourque looked good

* That Paille goal at the end of 2nd was about the biggest gut punch possible for the Jets

* Horton still isn't Horton

* Stats be damned, Tuukka has been great

Bruins at Sabres

Few Points.

High stick call against Bs was just incorrect. Follow-through does not count as high-stick.

Must have been this game, but from my feed, the Buffalo crowd was idiotic. Just didn't understand the rules. 

Buffalo is not a good hockey team. They capitalized  on literally every opportunity they had, which I attribute more to luck than skill

Ryan Miller stood on his head at times

Patrick Kaleta is an enormous gaping orifice, who bitches about his goalie getting "run", gets his ass kicked, and then dive bombs opposing goalies. Class act.
