Pre-Game Talk: Bruins @ Leafs - Sat Oct. 25 CBC

[Cor]

Chara should really rest on Saturday. Missing 1 game is better than playing 1 and missing 5!!

 

[Wafflewhipper]

left knee it looked like. Tavares went down hard but chara got the worst of it. Kessel just might like the news ha.

 

[Primary Assist]

$50 American (Canadian) dollars says that Kessel gets a natural hatty

 

[Leafidelity]

Detroint are slime bags of the conference.

Id agree with that. Boston plays tough, Detroit plays dirty.

 

[shaner8989]

Chara out 4 weeks

 

[Swervin81]

The Avs and Red Wings have been the two dirtiest teams this year. Hell, I'd rank the Avs at the top. Landeskog and Johnson taking runs at everyone while McLeod tries to blow everyone's knees out.

The Bruins, I can respect because they can at least back up what they dish out and play, for the most part, a tough, but fair and honest game. Apart from Marchand and Lucic, as well as Chara on occasion. They can go **** themselves.

Quincey from the Red Wings is a very dirty player. Goes in carelessly and dangerously into players. He slammed Kozun into the wall with his leg behind him, and had many more incidents where i cringed but i cant remember specifically.

 

[Cor]

Chara out 3-4 weeks.

We play them twice in that span

 

[Pi]

Chara out 3-4 weeks.

We play them twice in that span

We better get at least 3/4 points there. There really shouldnt be any excuse for next home game.

Chara won't be on Kessel...our team needs to win. That defense outside of Hamilton and Seidenberg is horrible and even Seidenberg has been **** to start the season.

 

[Leafs87]

I certainly have. I've been cheered and booed. My heads in the game, not worrying about the crowd. Do we honestly believe this is a problem?

Please tell me you're joking.... You're really comparing whatever level you got booed at (probably beer league) to virtually having no home games playing in the NHL ?

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Id agree with that. Boston plays tough, Detroit plays dirty.

They get away with it too. Yeah Boston is just coming with it and they back it up. Detroit are so slimeeee. I would run kronwall hard all night and play physically clean on them.

Referees let them get away with to much.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Chara out 3-4 weeks.

We play them twice in that span

4 to 6 weeks was just reported.

 

[Swervin81]

Fun fact is that Boston has the 2nd most expensive home game tickets next to us. Interesting, thought it was New York or Montreal.

 

[frankthetank91]

Great, leave it to the year of the 2015 draft for the Bruins to **** the bed.

All we need now is for them to get another star.

 

[ThrillinPhil]

There is no excuse to lose this game. Boston lost to the team we beat days ago and no Chara

I say 3-0 Leafs. Bernier is due for a shutout

 

[Rayban*]

For Chara its 4-6 weeks until they can evaluate whether he needs surgery. It sounds like it could potentially be a lot longer.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Have yet to win on HNIC.

Now we are predicting big wins against the Bruins cause they are missing Chara.



If we can squeak out a 2 - 1 I will be thrilled.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Not as thrilled as subban.

 

[HellasLEAF]

yup.

Habs just might win the conference now.

 

[Tyler Biggs*]

Loving the third line, Clarkson is playing great, Komarov is everything we were missing last year. Gives guys like Kessel, JVR and Bozak room to breathe. Carlyle is matching our third line up with other teams first lines giving our first line time with units other then first lines. Looking very good. All we need now is a solid D core.

 

[SprDaVE]

Still a tough game to play even without Chara. It will really depend on which Leaf team shows up.

 

[Drew311]

The Bruins are going to get a little peek into the future when Chara is gone. Should be interesting to see how good/bad their defense and goaltending will be without him considering every aspect of their game revolves around him.

 

[GalacticaActual]

Polak/Robidas/Phaneuf/Komarov/Clarkson/Santorelli/Winnick... now is your time to shine. I bet dollars to Tim Horton's Cruellers that they are going to play with great physicality on Saturday.

 

[Delicious Dangles*]

Pittsburgh sat back on a two goal lead. We aren't the only team guilty of it.

No, no. You must be mistaken. That can't be.

I've talked with people around here. They say we are the only team to go through those struggles. I'm sure they were being honest and don't have some obvious agenda.

 

[TLeafsFan]

Polak/Robidas/Phaneuf/Komarov/Clarkson/Santorelli/Winnick... now is your time to shine. I bet dollars to Tim Horton's Cruellers that they are going to play with great physicality on Saturday.

Hopefully with Santorelli flanking Kadri's right side and swapping draws. Santorelli's earned it and it might push Kadri, know that he now has a capable center playing up with him who is a good, responsible, physical playmaker.
