Bruins take down Penguins but can they catch the Wild?
Week nine: Where we apologize profusely for missing week 8, but blame our extreme laziness and lack of interest on Bruce Boudreau.

Monday’s physical (read sometimes dirty) win against the Penguins had a playoff atmosphere. | |

It took two fights against Boston to wake these guys up. | |

First place in the Central division, and Toews is lighting it up. | |

The Rangers have won 5 straight and 8 of their last 10. What idiot would have ever thought the Islanders would be the team to beat in NY? | |
 |
6(14) | Detroit Red Wings | 16-8-1 | Jimmy Howard has a GAA of 1.83. That’s good enough for second best in the league. |
 |
7(11) | Florida Panthers | 16-8-1 | 1st in the southeast, 7th in our hearts. |

David Payne must feel like such a tool. | |

I could only hate on them for so long. The Flyers are pretty sick. They’re first in GPG. | |
|
|
10(24) | Vancouver Canucks | 15-10-1 | The Canucks are better on the road this year than they are at home. Probably because they’re afraid to play there. |
 |
11(16) | Dallas Stars | 15-10-1 | Believe it or not, Dallas has a differential of -3. |
 |
12(13) | 13-9-4 | Good test this Thursday against the Wild. On my shortlist for game of the week. | |
 |
13(5) | San Jose Sharks | 14-8-1 | Sharks could lose their next four. Watch out! |
 |
14(6) | Buffalo Sabres | 14-11-1 | Ryan Miller got the win in his return from a concussion. Maybe he’s the spark the Sabres need to get back on track. |
 |
15(12) | Toronto Maple Leafs | 14-10-2 | Toronto is slipping. Can James Reimer get back to form? |
 |
16(9) | 14-9-3 | I just watched Vrbata score in the shootout against Chicago. I love him. | |
 |
17(10) | 13-11-3 | I can’t stop thinking about Warren Moon. That dude was SICK. | |
 |
18(4) | Nashville Predators | 12-10-4 | Biggest loser. |
 |
19(22) | 11-11-4 | Listen, the Jets may make the playoffs. Evander Kane is on a roll right now. | |
 |
20(25) | 13-13-1 | Solid wins against St. Louis and Detroit have got the AVS December looking promising. | |
 |
21(18) | 13-11-1 | Looks like old Bruce might have gotten out right in time. | |
 |
22(21) | Montréal Canadiens | 11-11-5 | P.K. Subban gets in trouble a lot. 35 PIM. |
 |
23(19) | Ottawa Senators | 12-11-3 | Ottawa is still last in the league in GA. They are the Phoenix Suns of the NHL. |
 |
24(20) | New Jersey Devils | 12-12-1 | My friend Josh called to congratulate me on the Jets beating the Devils. I responded by rubbing it in his face. |
 |
25(26) | Calgary Flames | 11-13-2 | Alex Tanguay could get to 500 career assists this year. |
 |
26(23) | Tampa Bay Lightning | 11-12-2 | Tampa Bay might actually love realignment. |
 |
27(29) | New York Islanders | 8-11-5 | Moulson scored 4 against the Stars. So, that was good. |
 |
28(27) | Carolina Hurricanes | 8-16-4 | The Canes have lost 6 straight. That’s the best losing streak going! |
 |
29(28) | Anaheim Ducks | 7-14-5 | Over or under 25 wins this year? |
 |
30(30) | 7-16-3 | Contraction? |
