GDT: 10/30: Boston Bruins @ Pittsburgh Penguins 8pm ET

[KnightofBoston]

Crosby would be asking the refs if they could make it stop.

Boom!

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Sounds like a perfect night for Soderberg to pot a couple. While no one is watching.

Good one!

Sorry about the short GDT. Had something come up unexpectedly that threw me for a loop. The next one will be better I promise.

Alicat what the hell? No excuse for this!!! LOL j/K All you GDT makers put in a lot of time and effort and you do a fantastic job.. Much appreciated..

 

[lopey]

I just hope this team learned its lesson from the last couple of games. Lucky against San Jose to win that game, but Saturday no so much. Please play 60 minutes of hockey. When we get the lead, do not back off. Team still has that killer instinct problem. It seems to me we play better when were behind...

I refuse to post in a thread with such a short GDT.

 

[coldblaster]

Let me see...

I guess since the Bruins are playing out of town, NBCSN will be airing it here in Boston. I'll be watching the Red Sox, though. However, I will listen to 'em on the Sports Hub.

A win please !

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

Pen's Notes

INJURY/LINEUP NOTES
Two injury updates of note from head coach Dan Bylsma:
•Rob Scuderi had surgery today on his ankle
•Beau Bennett skated this morning at an increased level
Bylsma also said that Marc-Andre Fleury will start in goal and Dustin Jeffrey will be in the lineup. Jeffrey has sat out the last six games as a healthy scratch. Fleury enters tonight's game having gone 19-4 in his last 23 home starts dating back to the beginning of last season. He's won three straight starts against the Bruins and five of his last six starts.*
--Sam Kasan

*You cannot win if you do not play.

Kobasew also injured.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

So is the the whole pregame on NBC tonight going to be CROSBY CROSBY CROSBY CROSBY, or more on how the Bruins got past them in the ECF last season in dramatically easy fashion?

I've got my laptop ready to go but I forgot to set my TiVo

Bruins can't let up if they get the lead, we saw what happened with New Jersey.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Tough week with two good teams (Pitt-Ana) in back-to-back games then on Saturday, the Isles who always give the Bruins problems and they now have the Bruins killer in Vanek...

I'll be happy with 4pts.

Go B's!

 

[nycbruins*]

NBC is keep talking about how they don't see anyone who can stop the penguins in the east & forget about the whole ECF sweep

There is only Crosby. /NBC

The story of the game for me was the bad goal Rask gave late in the 2nd to keep them close at 3-2. Then the B's regrouped and were the better team in the 3rd untill they got into penalty trouble with a full 2min 5 on 3, that became a 6 on 3 to tie the game. A lucky play seconds later (Devils guy missed his shot attempt and that went to become a perfect open net pass to Greene...) and it was the 4th goal on the PP for the Devils.

Take a shot every time Pierre says Kristopher Letang.

Nobody But Crosby

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Nobody But Crosby

Ha, that one made me laugh.

 

[mislysBB]

Nobody But Crosby

Well played

 

[Bocephus86]

Man 8 o'clock puck drop so I can't watch a full period of this one? Ill be flipping in and out if my roommate doesn't try to murder me but I feel like I end up missing both games when I do that. I may do the computer stream move tonight.

Anyway, I'm going 4-2 for the Bs tonight in a semi-nail bitter. The 4th is an empty net.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Penguins' expected lineups from nhl.com, based on the morning skate:

Chris Kunitz - Sidney Crosby - Pascal Dupuis

Jussi Jokinen - Evgeni Malkin - Matt D'Agostini

Tanner Glass - Brandon Sutter - Jayson Megna

Dustin Jeffrey - Joe Vitale - Craig Adams

Brooks Orpik - Paul Martin

Matt Niskanen - Kris Letang

Olli Maatta - Robert Bortuzzo

--------------------------------------

I have respect for how good the Pens have been the past 5 or so years but after their first line, the bottom 3 offenive lines don't look great, aside Geno centering the 2nd..

 

[HockeyMomx2]

You know I bet NBCS is happy the Pens have a decent following because the Boston media market will be all but non existent tonight. Any other time of year a Pens/Bruins game would be a ratings bonanza but tonight ratings will stink.

I think the Seidenmoose likes to feast on Penguins.

No worries all, this NYY fan will have all 6 tvs in the house going full blast with the B's game to make up for the lost viewership ;-)

You're absolutely right, although to be fair the second line would be much better if Neal and Bennett weren't out with injuries. The bottom six is a mess either way, though.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

I hate the wait for both games. Clock is slow today!
