Happy Veterans Day, y'all. So I hear the Bruins won a wild one over the Oilers last night eh? Awesome.
Tyler Seguin is winning the Taylor vs. Tyler battle. Devan Dubnyk obviously isn't that great of a goalie. Tuukka Rask has won two straight, and the team has won four straight. After 14 games, the team is sitting at an even .500, a point and two games in hand behind the Ottawa Senators. Hey, this season might be salvageable after all..maybe we need to change that 'failing for nail' headline. Doubly so since Columbus is seemingly running away with the Nail honors this year.
After the jump, a trade, an unlikely Gordie Howe hat trick performer, and some other nonsense.
