Game Thread: Bruins At Flyers, 1:00 PM Eastern Time, January 25, 2014

[Brahmsian]

Bruins come in with 65 points in 49 games, a 1.327 average. Their goal differential
is +32.

Philadelphia has 56 points in 50 (1.12) and a differential of -11

The fewer needless fights the better the chances of my Bruins winning the above leads me to believe.

So let the "Broad Street Bullies" drop the gloves first and get whatever instigator penalties are handed out, Boston!

GO BRUINS!

Looking forward to multiple fights. Lets get on Flyers!

Should be a great game. Hopefully some old school 1970s style hockey. Big Bad Bruins vs Broad St. Bullies. Don't usually hope for fights but in this one I do.

Not even 6 minutes into the game and the Bruins are already getting their 2nd Power Pllay opportunity!

That IS hockey!

Cash in, Bruins!

We have a goal, now a good ass kicking by McNasty should be on tap

How dare you BTM you know that is not hockey

Has it occurred to anyone other than myself that the Bruins not emphasizing fisticuffs as much as they once did
could explain, even partially, their 43 notch goal differential advantage on Philly going into this game?

The Bruins are tied for 3rd in the league for fighting majors.

A 2 goal period without fights!

NOT BORING AT ALL!

Our differential advantage on the Bullies is up to 45 now, BTW.

Not that many seasons ago they might have been 1st in that dubious department.

I'll take standings points over fights ANY day!

The Doobster could've sworn we had a conversation about fights on a Bruins GDT before. Could be wrong tho.
