If they can make one of those L's a W, the trip will be a good one.

As a fan of a team that has a player like Chara, you yearn to have the opposing team but big, useless 4th liners out instead of quick and small skill guys that can live in his gigantic blind spot.

As he goes so does the rest of the Bs. He was out of it last night. How many years left for him you think?

Luckily, the Habs don't have such problems. Jones will play that game for sure.

they always have trouble scoring goals. didn't stop them from scoring 6 on us in December. they are a matchup nightmare for Montreal because they're big, strong, physical and their defence is mobile, as opposed to what we saw in Boston last night.

i think that game showed just how dormant this rivalry is right now. teams need a good dust-up or a playoff series. i miss Tim Thomas and Andrew Ference.

Jagr and Setoguchie will help offset this.

Not sure I agree. They aren't great, but they don't suck either. Also, I think the Habs effort went a long way to helping the Bruins not "show up".

I think he had four goals in the three games before this one? He's super keen on healthy living and that sort of thing so its hard to say. I like to think he get 3 more years of top quality play after this one but I can't be certain when that big body will start to break down.

Obviously, the entire game was played in the Bruins end up until the Emelin goal. 30 seconds in I had a "here we (frank)ing go again" moment.

Like I said as he goes so does Boston, 18 goals in 3 games of which he had just less than a quarter.

I like that he will be impossible to replace.

No doubt. A generational talent from the Bruins stand point. Its also no secret every goalie ever seems to excel with both Chara and the Bruins system in front of them. The window is closing.

good call by Ottawa going with Redden over Chara.

Seidenberg is a big minute guy, obviously more is put on Chara when he's out. Now with Hamilton back he should be able to spell some minutes from Z.

I remember when that went down a lot of fans ridiculed the Bruins for paying Chara that kind of money.

Avoid the back to back games over the weekend.

Just my advice.
