I love watching a game on TV in Philly. Love the arena and ice.

 

[JOKER 192]

Do you ever rest. Thanks for the GDT, awesome work.

With that said, had enough of these guys this year, let's kick some ASS.

 

[Sigh]

The Bruins owe these guys one.

I was going to go to this game.
Friend bought two tickets for my birthday back in September.
Saw a week ago that he was selling them on Facebook.
Best birthday gift ever..?

[Berge56]

Let's go Boys. Get those 2 points.

 

[ODAAT]

just win, ugly or otherwise

Some friend

 

[jdz]

Time to stop messing with the lineup and the lines.

Eventually getting the right combination gets trumped by the players having some time to get used to each other and actually having some continuity and rhythm with their lineys.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Sure hope Spooner is back at center, with him there we have 3 scoring lines, with the Finnish guy on that 3rd line, might as well write it off as any type of threat.

 

[TMac21]

Krejci will get back on the board tonight, feeling good about tonight.

WHAT?? What the .......
Do you still call him/her a friend?
I guess we all have at least one person in our lives like that.
Well, there have been games that I've gone to where I though
gee, I'm sorry I'm not home in my recliner watching this on TV.
Oh well, we'll all (here on HF Boards) are your friends!

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Just win. Decisively. Both in the W column and the PIM column. I'm in the mood for a good ol' fashioned Bruins vs. Broad St Bullies type of game after yesterdays debacle.

I was going to go tonight but with the snowpacolypse it would probably turn my just over an hour drive into a much more frustrating commute.

If you are near the arena I bet you can grab great seats very cheap this afternoon on SH.

I liked the combination of Marchand-Bergeron-Spooner but you're right. Makes our top-6 incredible but Kemppainen and Talbot as your bottom 6 centers is brutal.

Eriksson-Krejci-Pasta
Marchand-Bergeron-Connolly/Hayes
Beleskey-Spooner-Hayes/Connolly
Ferraro + a revolving door of Kemp/Talbot/Rinaldo/Randell/etc

Looking for Pasta to stay hot (5 points in his last 5) and for Krejci to maybe be the catalyst for that. He's had some time to get back into the groove now and he's historically **** all over this team.

 

[Latrappe]

There you go: Brett " 15 points " Connolly back in the lineup. How promising...

 

[TSBruins13]

Ok, maybe I am missing something. Can someone please explain to me why Kempainnen is still in our lineup? The guy is absolutely invisible out there. I would much rather have Koko in his place to either showcase or develop. He is the most useless player.

 

[tburns21]

wish the B's would have taken a run and acquiring brayden schenn, would be a good 2nd/3rd line player.

i 'd like the line up to have pasta on the 3rd line, get him away from other teams top pairings and see if he can put some solid offense together. instead of kemp they should recall koko and have him man the 3rd line. just try it for a few games.... can't be any worse than having connolly out there some nights....

and put morrow and colin miller in!

chara-c miller
krug-k miller
morrow-seids

No. no, no and no ! Stop making sense with C.Miller in our lineup. No !

 

[BMC]

Beat these guys.

 

[Ladyfan]

I still hate the Flyers.

Please beat them tonight.

Anyone going have a blast and cheer loud for our boys.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[TwineTickler]

Fingers crossed Colin Miller sees the light of day today.

 

[VanIsle]

The Magical Mystery Lineup

I don't see what Connolly has done to be on the first line.

2 goals from November 27th until now.

Playing with Bergeron who is 15th in league scoring, this guy hasn't done squat, experiment over, put him on the 3rd line, put Pasta back up.

I am all for giving people a chance but comon man, the guy just does not produce.
