In what was likely the last "biggest game of the season" until the playoffs start, the Bruins effectively re-shook the ugly Etch-A-Sketch drawing that was their last month or so and wrote in the more visually pleasing "Northeast Division Champs" after their return-to-form 4-1 victory over the NJ Devils, the team that has been up their ass for the Wales' top seed. The win not only gave the Bs the division title, it gave them a five point cushion in the standings (a loss would've shrunk the lead to one game with Jersey still having a game in hand). But most importantly, the team reverted back to the simple recipe that brought them so much success in the first 3/4ths of the season: skating, hitting, shooting, getting in front of shots, going to the net, and top-notch goaltending (even if they took their foot off the pedal a bit in the 3rd while holding a three goal lead, getting outshot 17-3). They'll have five full days to savor their accomplishment as they're off until Saturday's tilt with the Leafs.
