Ty Anderson: Bruins notes and other ramblings at the halfway point... Here are thoughts about the Boston Bruins and the game of hockey after 41 games. Please, read this with your face.

If Marchand played for the Habs or anyother team that played the Bruins a lot for that matter he would be hated every bit as much as Subban

See you in June....oh....I enjoyed the read!

2 crazy things at the halfway mark...

Sens are somehow only 1 point behind boston right now....

Sens have somehow played 5!!!! more games than boston

how are either of those possible?

Couldn't disagree more with the B's Caps prediction. If the Caps will get bounced in the 1st.

B's Vs Rangers for the east.

Weird scheduling. They play catchup at the end. 20 games from March and ending the 1st week of April.

Ty, sure, the Bruins are 10-6 vs the bottom half teams of the eastern conference, but you neglect to point out that 3 of those losses are to the Hurricanes.

Hurricanes aside, the Bruins are 10-3 vs bottom half teams in the eastern conference... So, clearly, for some reason or other, the B's struggle with the Canes.

While there are Bruins that have taken a few dives throughout Julien's regime (Marchand and Savard come to mind), I think you can make a strong argument that the B's mostly play an honest, hard-nosed style that is spurred by a culture of accountability. I would hope that if Subban wore the black and gold, his teammates would disabuse him of the things that irritate us.

That said, ew.

- BINGO!

no he didn't.

It is crazy how the B's have yet to Play the Rangers or the Caps.
Wideman is an All-Star too funny

I was flipping back and forth on Saturday Night and no surpise there, they just have no answer to the Crappy Hurricanes. I'm miffed

I don't know how you can discount the Hawks in the West I think they are the favorites to make it to the SCF.

I like subban... i dont have anything against the kid, think he plays a hard nor grinding type of hockey, just cause young guys dont fight doesnt mean a lot to me, if i was 18-21 in the NHL and guys who are 25-30 want to fight me and know how to do it.... im probably going to turtle and be a female dog too

I like the way Hamill has played this year

Me too he has made some great passes and doesn't kill the defensively. . It has made me question why Caron has been playing. He hasn't shown much this year. I think he needs more time in the minors.

Interesting to see what Kelly and the kiddie line can do tonight.

no he didn't.

He suggested that the 10-6 record is an indicator of how the bruins struggle against all the teams in the bottom half of the East, when the truth is that they're 10-3 vs everyone else in the bottom half.
