00:00But yesterday, they're down 3-0.
00:02Swayman is playing on the second night of a back-to-back
00:04after they get a convincing win on Saturday
00:07over a good Minnesota Wild team
00:09who hasn't been playing their hottest,
00:11but a good Minnesota Wild team.
00:13Bruins have been neck and neck with Columbus
00:15in the wild-card spots,
00:17although Columbus has played their way up in the Metro.
00:19The Bruins have played their way up in the Atlantic.
00:21They've been neck and neck.
00:22It was a huge two points yesterday.
00:23And to just come back from 3-0 down
00:26and force overtime with the Zaka game-tying goal,
00:31which felt like a win for the Bruins.
00:34Just getting the point felt really big,
00:36where now Columbus might get two,
00:38but you're getting one,
00:39and the margin there isn't so bad from where you started.
00:41So going all the way to getting that winner last night,
00:43that Arvidsson goal was filthy in the shootout.
00:47Filthy.
00:47Goes to the backhand, gets the goalie to lay out,
00:50roofs it with a filthy, filthy goal.
00:53I'm starting to think the Bruins can go on a run, Keith,
00:55not just make the playoffs.
00:56I think that's borderline done.
00:58The playoffs seem like it's happening.
01:00I think it's done.
01:01A run?
01:01Now the question is, can they go on a run?
01:04Well, and this happens sometimes.
01:06Now, the teams out of the wild-card teams,
01:07we were looking this up,
01:08they never win the cup.
01:10They've made it to the cup a couple times.
01:11Talking about when they did this format, right?
01:13So they sort of changed how playoff teams get in.
01:16But I feel like in all sports,
01:17there is that thing where the teams fighting their ass off
01:20to get in that are playing their best,
01:22that momentum does carry over often
01:24into the first round.
01:26And so, you know, a few years ago,
01:28when the Bruins set the record
01:29for most regular season points,
01:31by the time they got into the playoffs,
01:32like they weren't playing their best
01:34and then got bounced real early,
01:37this is a little different.
01:38You know, this is, they were looking at,
01:39they were like a point up or tied and all these things.
01:42If you look at it now,
01:44they've built themselves a decent cushion.
01:46Eight games left to play, just like the Celtics.
01:48They have a six point lead over Ottawa and Detroit.
01:53Now those teams have a game in hand,
01:55but that's a big gap.
01:57You know, the Bruins are just as close
02:00to first place in their division
02:01as they are from a team catching them
02:04for a wild card spot.
02:05So they're playing great.
02:06And they're playing great.
