Pre-Game Talk: Bruins @ Sens Mar. 6 7:30 p.m. Eastern

[Karl Eriksson]

I agree whats Turris's status? He's been labouring. He needs to be healthy in oder for this team to have success.

This is a really big game, a regulation win and its one big step towards securing a playoff spot.

After the jackets game TSN 1200 was still talking about how Smith is taking Turris' faceoffs because of a hand issue. Not great. Can't see how that heals by playing hockey.

Apparently a finger on his bottom hand is blown up real good. They're freezing it before every game.

This was mentioned during the Jackets game irc.

What's up with this team and finger injuries.

 

[albator71]

Hey guys I'm pretty new here following the boards on and off for a few years but on a more serious note we need to keep the Wins coming and Boston is playing some good hockey so i will be watching this one good luck boys!

Welcome aboard brother!!!!

 

[topshelf15]

Give him a couple of games off (Dallas, Arizona, Colorado) and a week to heal it up. Point to Tampa next Tuesday

 

[Alex1234]

They need to shot down the Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrak line big time

One of the best line of the league so far

GO SENS GO

 

[jbeck5]

Is Neil dressing cause of that big nosed POS?

What's with the hockey guys on tv and using "exploded" when referring to a finger injury?

*alfredsson breaks rib*

"his torso exploded!"

 

[Back in Black]

9 hours to go, to what will be like a Playoff game tonight!

GO SENS GO!

 

[darglor]

Anytime an expected "good matchup" involves Ottawa you can bet on the other team.

I haven't bothered to look up the actual results, but I've felt the opposite... It feels like we tend to beat the good teams and play down/lose to bad ones.

 

[operasen]

As stated above the Habs and Bruins games will define the playoff position.

Games like Chicago, Columbus, Minnesota will really show us where we are for the future.

Its a great window to have a view from.

I thought they were saying it like it split open - like its a cut.
Kind of graphic but I think its a good thing as it should heal fairly quickly

FYI.
Since Cassidy replaced Julien, here are the top two lines:
Marchand-Bergeron-Backes
Cehlarik-Krejci-Pastrnak

 

[Alex1234]

No Dion tonight?
Any news?

 

[Cosmix]

I actually think Burrows legitimately replaces Ryan on top 6 and now Ryan will be more at ease of playing his own game without needing to provide immediate offense. All he needs to do is not be a liability or slow his line down.

Burrows-Turris-Hoffman
Smith-Brassard-Stone
Pyatt-Pageau-Ryan
Dzingel-Wingels-Stalberg

Playing Ryan on the third line is not necessarily a bad thing as the competition he will face will be lesser skilled and that could be just what he needs to start producing again. Pageau might be the catalyst required. Stone would be a better catalyst though.

dion is game time decision

we might need to mix the lines up a bit, someone to slow down marchand and someone to slow down pasta

I broke 2 of the 3 bones in my ankle. One split apart about 5 inches up from the ankle, the other snapped off at the end. That was "explosive" to me. I don't view a cut opening on the finger as "explosive". But who knows?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

No Dion tonight?
Any news?

Dion is sick. He will be missed if he can't go

 

[Senscore]

I am willing to donate plasma if he needs it.
