Pre-Game Talk: Game 3: Sens @ Bruins, April 17, 7 p.m., NESN & CNBC

[Here I Pageau Again]

They also never mention how Andy almost handed them the game, so...

Honestly Rask saved the game in game one... while Andy lost it.

Neither goalie has been consistently great.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Harpur in for Bor according to TSN 1200

Thought I heard that Cleasson was so in....Not sure why. Maybe Methot?

 

[DJB]

Sounds like Krecji is going to play.

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

No GDT? What is this, amateur hour?

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Sounds like Krecji is going to play.

Cassidy said game time decision in his presser. Same as Miller. I think Krejci is a true 50/50.

 

[Rodzilla]

Don't know why they don't keep Mac and Ryan together... I expect they'll end up together later anyway but they mesh well.


Ryan's had 2 great games and has been very good lately. Didn't really have a problem with his game aside from stats this year anyway

 

[Uncle Eugene]

WOOOO we're getting Harps.

Big fan, kid deserves his shot. Hopefully it goes well, I honestly am starting to see #3-4 potential in him. His size and poise shown over the past couple weeks bodes really well for our team in the future.

This team needs to learn how to play consistant mistake free hockey ,they do well in spurts. But can never just put it all together,here is hoping that starts to change tonight

 

[hobbsie93]

Harpur in for Boro, no other changes

Claesson should be playing over him.

Claesson should be playing over him.

Meh i find Claesson only seems to play good whenever he plays with EK ,Harpur looked very solid on whatever pair he was with ,even playing his offside

Agreed. I really really liked Harpur. His size and reach will help us when the Bruins try to pin us deep in our zone like they've been doing most of the series. Boro is better in the neutral zone, but Haper will be much better for us in the DZ.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Claesson should be playing over him.

like what we've seen from Harpur... Good test for him tonight. I see more upside in him than in Claesson. Harpur is comfortable with both sides so he does offer some flexibility. Competency wise I think its close but I do like what I've seen from Harpur. I think he has an edge in mobility and poise with the puck

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Do the Sens forecheck ? or do we watch how these AHL D adapt to moving the puck out with no pressure?

I agree, it is the poise with the puck. Harpur seems real confident always with his head up, small sample size but to me he doesn't seem like one to panic.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Finish all checks on Krejci and hound big Z.

Need to get a win in Beantown

If he steps up and hits someone its not going to be pretty for whomever is on that track

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Surprised that Stalberg in. He looks banged up.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Stalberg looks hurt, I think he should rest for someon else.

Regardless, we have no excuse for not beating that D squad tonight.

 

[topshelf15]

Do the Sens forecheck ? or do we watch how these AHL D adapt to moving the puck out with no pressure?

Agreed far too passive ,and worried about what Boston,s forwards and what they may do .We need their forwards to battle very hard in their dzone ,to try and stop our forecheck

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Surprised that Stalberg in. He looks banged up.

Hopefully he can engage in some physical play this game. I like his speed but I'd rather have a fully engaged Wingels than Stalberg going at what we saw last game

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

We need the top 6 to show up on the score sheet.

 

[topshelf15]

We need the top 6 to show up on the score sheet.

Turris ,Stone, Hoffy ,doing some damage would be nice

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Do the Sens forecheck ? or do we watch how these AHL D adapt to moving the puck out with no pressure?

Logically we make them work. Chara will probably be forced to play bigger minutes than usual again.

Hopefully we actually take advantage.
