It's hard to believe, but the calendar has flipped from November to December in what feels like the blink of an eye. The Boston Bruins end the month in second place in the Atlantic Division, but the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference is such a cluster that anyone can make the playoffs at this point, and anyone can miss them.
It is going to be another busy month for the Black and Gold in December, which begins with a trip to the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night and ends on New Year's Eve in Edmonton against former teammate Trent Frederic and the Oilers.
