  • I REPEAT- TUUKKA RASK DID NOT HAVE A GOOD NIGHT! Bonus- Give the kid Zach Senyshyn another look. 985 The Sports Hub
  • But hey, the game was played with pace and physicality, which was entertaining. Boston Globe
  • More reason for cheer- David Pastrnak remains en fuego, which is nice. 985 The Sports Hub

  • Three observations from the game include questioning the purpose of offside review. Bruins Daily

  • On the other hand, this Bruins team is one that has relied heavily on their top line and power play prowess, which is pretty much playing with fire. Puck Prose
  • One high point of the game was the Montreal crowd acknowledging Zdeno Chara’s 1500th NHL game with a standing ovation. NBC Sports Boston
  • As for the Penguins, they should have quit while they were ahead on Monday and should NOT have gleefully poked the bear on Twitter. NESN
