BRUINS GDT 1/5/19 - #42 - Backes is Back!- Bruins vs. Buffalo Sabres - 7:07 pm ET - NESN, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[Fred McCarthy]

Hopefully the Bs can keep the win train going. Also hope Rask has a great game. Buffalo is nothing special at the moment, so these are 2 points the Bs need to grab.

Going to be tough to keep up with the Classic game for Rask , but if he plays 75% as good as he played in the classic ...he'll be first star

 

[Fred McCarthy]

GREAT team picture!

Hats and no smiles, classic!

Tonight's referees look like escapees from Shawshank.

Lol....

 

[hrdpuk]

Great GDT . Thanks for all the time you two put into the GDT

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

It’s definitely an odd move especially bc Backes isn’t exactly fleet of foot these days .

In Bruce we trust?

I think people overstate Backes' skating issues. He's a significantly better skater than Lucic these days for example. On that line he just needs to be able to cycle with the other two and not hurt you defensively.

 

[gvkmedia]

I agree that Backes skating issues are not that bd. The Lucic comparison is good.

I hope the lines can stay set for the night.
Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak
DeBrusk-Krejci-Backes
Donato-JFK-Heinen
Wagner-Acciari-Kuraly

think in the few weeks prior to the suspension, was watching DB play some of his most consistent hockey in a spoked B

[TP]

I'm scared!!

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

He’s hurt

Well I like our chances then

 

[MetM]

He's looking like he'll be a pretty solid starter as early as next year.

As early as he’s playing the Bruins, as always

 

[JCRO]

Excited for this one.

Let’s go Bs!!!

 

[BMC]

DROP THE f***ING PUCK ALREADY

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

On my way to the Gahden to meet LF, feels like a BIG game due to standings, but hopefully our boys will prevail again.
Here we go here we go

 

[MetM]

I’ll be watching TOI tonight

Acciari with 20 mins

 

[missingchicklet]

Go Bs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[chizzler]

Well looks like that 3rd line is what a lot of us have been asking for. I hope they don’t let us down. Fingers crossed for 17-23-43!

 

[TCB]

Bruins keep-it rolling 7-1

Pastrnak with the Hatty and Heinen with two. Heinen's been squeezing the stick too much but tonight he stops and finds the back of the net not once but twice.

 

[BMC]
