Promise of first playoffs has juices flowing for Bruins’ Campbell, Horton
“I don’t think we’re practicing,” he said before heading off to his postgame routine.
Campbell was right. As reward for their efforts this week, head coach Claude Julien gave the Bruins Friday off. That could mean that when they show up Saturday, Campbell and Horton will have two days worth of energy pent up to unleash at the Garden Saturday when the team’s playoff push continues.

That brings back good souvenirs: I attended all games of the 2003 Memorial Cup where Campbell won the scoring title ahead of Roy & Richards!
Can’t wait for the PLAYOFFS!
This gash will take some time to heal, if it does.
The Habs are gonna make it on their knees until they visit the Leafs for their last game of the year… …. and then god knows what.
For some odd reasons the Leafs and the Habs have been playing each other out for their last game for some years. They’re hot, the Habs are not. Sigh…
Go Bs
Price is on pace for 70 games this season. Auld isn’t a great backup unlike last year when you had Halak Price or you guys with Rask and Thomas.
It could be the kid is wearing down.
Mara did lay a beating on Recchi but Recchi knew what he was doing. He has a low center of gravity and is freakishly strong. He’s very hard to move from the front of the net.
Let some injuries clear up, hopefully better efforts in the playoffs.
Thanks Nifty, will fix that.
The Habs gave up after the first goal in the third, you can tell they stopped skating. You shouldn’t be giving up two on ones and breakaways when you are on the PP and 5 on 3.
Hey Matt. Campbell won the Mem. cup with Kitchener. Derek Roy and Mike Richards were on that team as well. Plymouth hasn’t won one yet. They have made it there though.
I should have taped that game. For a B’s fan that’s hockey porn. I really liked Soup scoring two goals and tangling with Mara. Rex took a beating from the guy and gets 2 minutes for his troubles. I don’t think from the puck drop that Montreal wanted to pay the piper. That’s okay we were the only ones dancing.
The “NHL Flavors” analogy made me uncomfortable. Nice work, Kalman.
I don’t see Habs/B’s in first round. TB and MTL are on small slumps over their last 10 games and the Rangers (or Lunqvist) are really playing well.
I don’t think Price was at his top level, but I think the defense for the Habs was terrible. They let our players park in front of the net a lot. I know on one of the goals Recchi had his butt in Price’s face far longer than he should have been allowed to. But Price hasn’t fared to well lately-the Habs may not have managed him well enough and may be riding a good but tired goalie at this point. And good but tired behind a defense that isn’t playing well is a recipe for disaster.
I also think Thomas was very on last night. He didn’t have to face a lot of shots, but he made the big saves to keep the game out of reach for the Habs.
RD, I actually don’t think Price was terrible, the problem was the Canadiens couldn’t get back into the game and eventually gave up on him. The Devils almost did that to the B’s Tuesday. I still think Price is their MVP, does he respond better with a couple nights off or does he need to get right back out there?
Bruins look good for the playoffs.
For the habs, everything has to do with Price. Is he getting tired or did he just have a bad night?
Hopefully the habs can redeem themselves against the Bs in R1.
Great effort
