What a magnificent mustache. Seriously, it is a true beauty of male lip hair everywhere. My facial hair can not compare to this Mario-inspired 'stache that says 'I may be poorly educated' and may or may not require Parros to wear a jean jacket to and from the rink.

Any who, the Boston Bruins are currently in Anaheim awaiting a game with the Ducks and kick off their 3 games in 4 nights west coast road trip. Both the Bruins and the Ducks have had a particularly "off" season, though many would point out that Anaheim was thought to be better than 12th in the Western Conference.

Boston is 6-4-0 in their last 10 games and will be without Marc Savard, Andrew Ference, Patrice Bergeron and Mark Stuart tonight, though the latter 2 have made the trip and are expected to play in either San Jose and/or Los Angeles. Anaheim is 5-5 in their last 10 and on a 4 game winning streak.

Bruins' 3 Keys To Winning

Survival. The Bruins are without their 2 best forwards and a couple good to useful defensemen. The team they are currently putting on the ice night in and night out is sloppy, uninspired and heartless to say the least. I believe Boston will not win a game on this western road trip, but if they are, it will be tonight.

Mistake Free Hockey. Lately the Bruins can't get the puck out of their own zone, and it's their fault! There were numerous times against New York where Boston would make foolish passes in their zone and turn the puck over. Lately it seems that the Bruins can't get out of their own way and it will surely lead to issues in the playoffs. Mistake free hockey is crucial for Boston on this road trip.

Win The Battles. The Bruins have no fight left in them or at least it seems that way. Boston needs to win the battles, from the momentum swings to the battles along the boards and everything in between. Ever since Marc Savard went down, the heart stopped pumping blood to the veins and Boston hasn't been a shadow of the team we've seen all season!
