The Edmonton Oilers visited frigid Boston Tuesday night for a tilt between teams going in opposite directions.
Or even a post-season appearance?
MoneyPuckcurrently has the Bs with a 58% chance of making the playoffs.
The Bruins 8.8 net power play percentage is the worst in the league.
Theyve scored just two shorthanded goals and their 77.4 net penalty killing percentage is also 25th.
but the team has petered out since with a 5-7-2 record and has looked shitty doing so.
And he’s on the second power play unit.
Matt Poitras impressed as a 19-year-old rookie last year until shoulder surgery ended his campaign.

Like her son, Brad Marchand’s mom has got jokes.
He also became just the 11th ref in league history to work 1500 games.

It doesn’t take away from his accomplishment but he deserved better reaching the milestone in his hometown.
They can make up for it when he refs his 2000th game.
Way to go, Chicka!
