<p><b>Okay, The Bruins had no business beating the Rangers last night.  We'll take it anyway! </b></p>

<li> Cliff notes on last night's game. [<a href="http://hockeyjournal.com/blog/blackGold/Rangers_the_better_team-_but_Rask_rescues_Bruins">NewEnglandHockeyJournal</a>]</li>

<li> Tuukka Rask made a career record 43 saves, including stuffing Chris Kreider on a penalty shot. Shawn Thornton took Reilly Smith's advice, and Daniel Paille kept it simple on a shorthanded breakaway.

<li> Last season, his numbers were there, but "Rask never seemed to pass the eye test of a Vezina goalie." How do you like him now? [<a href="http://www.weei.com/sports/boston/hockey/bruins/dj-bean/2013/11/20/tuukka-rask-brings-bruins-quantity-and-quality">WEEI</a>]</li>

<li> Dennis Seidenberg suffered a lower body injury during his first shift and did not return. Not good news for the Bruins' defensive corps, as Adam McQuaid remains out as well. Watch for a callup from Providence. [<a href="http://www.boston.com/sports/hockey/bruins/extras/bruins_blog/2013/11/dennis_seidenberg_knocked_out_with_undisclosed_injury.html">Boston.com</a>]</li>

<li> Torey Krug has generated buzz in the Calder race. [<a href="http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=692176">NHL</a>]</li>

<li> But it is not likely that a trip to Sochi is in Krug's future. [<a href="http://www.weei.com/sports/boston/hockey/bruins/scott-mclaughlin/2013/11/20/torey-krug-us-olympian-dont-get-your-hopes">WEEI</a>]</li>

<li> Hindsight check- interesting pregame statistics were borne out, the Rangers are unique in having their destiny tied to scoring the first goal. The Bruins defensemen have scored a near league leading 25% of the team's goals. Krug is tied for second in the league in D-man goals at 6. Congratulations to Patrice Bergeron, who played his 600th game. [<a href="http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/11/19/get-your-game-notes-bruins-at-rangers/">ProHockeyTalk</a>]</li>

<li> Digging deeper, a comparison of Rask to Carey Price that examines the effects of the quality of shots faced, not just the quantity. Great graphics! [<a href="http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/shot-quality-reveals-rasks-true-value/">Sportsnet</a>]</li>

<li> The Sabres are courting Bruins assistant GM Jim Benning as a replacement for Darcy Regier. [<a href="http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2013/11/20/bruins-give-buffalo-permission-interview-jim-benning/vVQALwoRmeDfZCj2deq2wN/story.html">TheBostonGlobe</a>]</li>

<p><b> Elsewhere around the rink: </b></p>

<li> Score one for P.K. Subban, who simply did what any of us would have done to "Changed Man" Matt Cooke, given the chance. [<a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2013/11/19/5124080/p-k-subban-throws-throws-matt-cookes-stick-across-the-ice">SBNation</a>]</li>

<li> Twitter fight! The Oilers (check out their MOvember avatar) rib the Canucks, and receive a jab in return. [<a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2013/11/19/5124640/twitter-fight-oilers-remind-canucks-tim-thomas-beat-them-for-the">SBNation</a>]</li>

<li> The chippy Winnipeg Jets are not taking that slight suffered at the hands of a rude Blackhawks fan sitting down, nooooo! They're going to  throw a #HelmetPardy!

<li> Tim Thomas has a shot at a spot in Sochi, but that might not be the best news for Team USA. [<a href="http://www.sportingnews.com/nhl/story/2013-11-19/team-usa-olympic-roster-american-goalies-ryan-miller-tim-thomas">TheSportingNews</a>]</li>
