GDT: 10/30 7:30 PM Game 9 - Bruins @ Florida Panthers - NESN, FOX-FLORIDA, WBZ-FM 98.5

[DKH]

Talbot was a +4 with 2 assists I'd recall him and hope he plays like that Detroit preseason game

 

[Neely08]

Looked to me that Marchand just love tapped him w/ Kulikov on bambi legs completely gassed out, thus eating the boards. Sucks for both of them, really. Don't think it was Marchand's objective to plant him like that.

Won't surprise me if Brad sits b/c of the resulting injury and the rep. Sucks, but that's the way it is.

 

[trenton1]

if they Bruins keep this up they are going to screw up getting Austin Matthews

that's what the sharks pick is for now. the bruins are picking 14th and beating montreal in 5.

 

[Fossy21]

It is. I'd not realized it was a match penalty (even though that was in the tweet )

Yeah, sucks. Hope others (looking at the third line) can pick up the slack as Marchand has been really hot

 

[ashnathan]

He won't get suspended. Wasn't malicious, wasn't an aggressive shove and Kulikov jumped into the boards like it was his long lost mother.

 

[DitClapper]

At least this team is shift in and shift out exciting. Last season was an abomination. There is tons of compete in this year's team.

Men amongst kids in the AHL. I don't think its a coincidence he starts racking up points when hes in the Reserves league....

I could see that

Bruins with their full lineup can win any night

I love the third line- Beleskey and Hayes are right where they belong playing just how I hoped

 

[TCL40]

Where does it say he got a match penalty? My NHL boxscore says it was a game misconduct.

Hopefully they don't suspend him-I've seen worse boardings with little more than 2 minutes.

the team looks to be playing just like the brass wanted. lots of goals. I've been entertained so far. Only the Habs game was brutal.

Last year's Bruins team had their heart ripped out before the season began and never recovered.

This team won't quit this year - I can feel it.

Haggs tweeted it was match, then noted it had been changed to 5 and a game in a later tweet.

I liked during the PK Z just got mugged in the corner with an infraction that had already been called 5 times in that game and nothing. Oh well

 

[Replicator]

Can someone explain what a match penalty is?

The ref calls a match penalty if he thinks the player deliberately tried to injure another player with a dirty hit.
The player is ejected from the game and his team is penalized for 5 min. The DOPS reviews the call and the player is suspended by default.

Tonight's game was far from exciting but I tend to agree with you, hoping tonight was just a blip, looked like they switched off for the 3rd with the game tomorrow in the back of their mind.

 

[Aeroforce]

Five minutes should be tacked on the end of the pre-game skate in Tampa to practice clearing the puck without shooting it over the glass.

Quite happy with Beleskey and Hayes as well. They were jamming the net all night. I think that line will be fine, especially as Spooner grows into a more complete player as the season goes along, hopefully.

 

[Aeroforce]

Anyone catch Reilly Smith in that segment between the 2nd and 3rd periods on the Florida feed? He said he was 'on his boat' July 1 when he got news he was traded, and he was informed by his seven year old nephew (?).

When asked to rate his level of shock on a scale of 1 to 10, he said 9.

 

[TCL40]

Even on their most boring nights this season it is more exciting than any games last season.

I love watching this team play. I love the PP-and the team seems to be gelling right now. The defense is still going to have some breakdowns given their youth but as a whole this team is entertaining and I think if Sweeney can build the team he invisions it's going to eventually be a top contender again.

Not sure what's wrong with this statement?

 

[BB88]

I really hope we keep this top9 together, it's just clicking and so entertaining(best in the league right now ), but the 4th line didn't impress a whole lot today.

 

[Demon Eyes]

Krecji needs 2 points to keep up with Benn tomorrow, make it happen

I thought the first 2 periods were great to watch as a fan. They sort of just buckled down in the 3rd.

You said it, they're entertaining. Shocked they're scoring the way they are, and especially on the PP. How long has it been since we had a dangerous PP? Since we lost Savard a B's PP was a pretty good time to make a tinkle, get a beer, put the dog out, etc. Now it's lighting people up before they know what happened to them. Krug and Spoons, what a difference. But tonight it was the #2 PP getting it done.

Cautiously optimistic here. Especially regarding the D. It's kind of like what Dennis Miller said a/b playing Risk w/ Charlie Manson, "One minute you're thinking - hey Charlie's doing ok and making some nice moves here. Then he suddenly jams the dice up his ass".

The good thing tonight was, when they did start to get into trouble Tuukka was there.

 

[13Hockey]

Bruins have the 5th best record in the Eastern Conference

Holy hell man, I remember that bit and recalling it now in that context had me in tears.
