The Bruins are officially out of last place in the East! Woo! As a matter of fact, they're tied with Montreal -- Montreal technically is ahead based on head-to-head wins, but whatever, that's nonsense. 27th place never felt so good! Bruins fans don't have to wait long for the next one, either, thank goodness.
After the jump, how people are feeling in St. Louis about this new coach situation, Nathan Horton is hard to read because he's happy all the time, and could Sidney Crosby could be back Friday?
