NHL

NESN? Fancy!

 

[TopTittie]

Is this opening lineup official? I assume Hamilton/Krug/Bart will be rotated?

 

[sooshii]

Woke up this morning thinking the game was tonight.

Ali bringin it from game 1. Beauty!
I'm definitely swiping your art.

Go s!

 

[Minny Shinny]

Aw.

GDT.

I'm weirdly giddy looking at this.

Go Ace.

......and yes, KATE HURRY UP AND COME UP WITH THE NEW "SPOON!"

 

[TheBigBadB]

Wonder if they will call up Spooner if Krejci isnt able to go.

PAI/CAM/THO
CHA/HAM
SEI/BOY
KRU/MCQ
RAS(JOH)

I also wanted to ask from where Hamilton out and Bartkowski in came.

also, there's some questionable math in the Chara section.

*lines are subject to change*

Generally starting lines/pairings aren't announced until the day of the game, and as late as up until the hour before the game starts. As these things usually go up the day before, they're an educated guess based on what's been seen in practice so far. If we waited to do these any longer, people would complain about where the GDT thread is.

People update it as information comes.

Yes they will.

I put Bartkowski in over Hamilton on a hunch. Bart had the better camp and imo, deserves to play opening night.

 

[11MilesPerJohan]

Awesome GDT, Alicat! Way to kick it off...I'm pumped up and ready to go!

 

[Dellstrom]

Ahhh. I've missed these. Awesome GDT.

One of my favorite days of the year... let's start it out right!!

 

[Bi Coastal Bawse*]

Bruins always get me emotional. Can't wait till tomorrow.

 

[mikeybuddha91]

Have a big hunch on Bart this year. Love that kids game and expect some surprisingly big things from him. I see him forcing some tough decisions next off season.

Lets go B's!

 

[member 96824]

Kate's gotta go with the snickers bar for a lucky object

 

[Ivyy13]

Ah. It feels so right to have hockey back. Tomorrow is going to feel like forever!

Go Bruins Go!

 

[Paddington]

FINALLY!!! This is going to be a very long 21hrs.

I really hope those of us watching on CI will get the Bruins feed. It would be a crying shame not to get Jack and Brick on opening night.

LETS GO BRUINS

 

[Bizarro Bandwagoner]

That's a solid lineup other than Caron.

HERE WE GO BRUINS, HERE WE GO!

 

[Salem13]

*sniffff*


Ahhh,,, it even has that new game day thread smell!

Go Bruins!
