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

[Bruinswillwin77]

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.

I'm looking (or hoping i suppose) the Kelly line and Merlot line have a big game tonight.

 

[TCL40]

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 predict it will go something like this: Crosby, Crosby, crosby, Malkin, crosby, got swept by Bruins, Iginla, Crosby Crosby Crosby.

 

[TCL40]

Oh and it looks like the Pens have been hit pretty hard with injury-have they had a game this season with a fully healthy starting roster?

Although they are probably glad two of the names on the injured list aren't Crosby or Malkin.

Nobody But Crosby

so true

 

[Ladyfan]

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.

Why so late ?

Why so late ?

National television.

Is this game considered "Rivalry Night" as well? I'm not sure if it's every Wednesday night NBC-SN game.

Nbcsn has the game as their Wednesday night rivalry and those start at 8 to maximize ratings (which will such anyway due to game 6 of the WS).

I hate 8 pm starts.

Which is why there are mute buttons on the remote and 98.5 on the laptop....

 

[CDJ]

Probably the only time in my college career down here in NC I am going to miss a televised Bruins game. Go sox!

(eh, **** it, I'll just pull it up on my internet)

No, Letang only recently got back, Neal has missed all but one period of the first game, and Vokoun hasn't played at all.

as long as you don't have directv or dish

 

[Bocephus86]

Missed this but NBC Sports plays these rivalry games at 8 PM on Wednesdays. Puck drop may happen exactly when the first pitch happens.

Can't really complain though, it is game 6 in the world series

 

[Flannelman]

score, hotel has the channel. one good thing about these national games. in Olean, NY tonight.

Yup. The Bs/pens rivals show is coming on at 6:30. I'm watching it now from DVR. Pretty good show.

Thanks for the heads up. I am watching too

Too much HRH Lemieux ball-washing....

I have DirecTv and always mute and use 98.5 online...no problems here...

 

[ProdigalFan]

So NBC shows Julien, Chara and the rest of the guys walking into the Consol Center, "Tonight Claude Julien and his Boston Bruins face...." switch to Crosby walking in by himself "...SIDNEY CROSBY and the Penguins."

Interesting, there's typically a good 5 second delay with the satellite feeds.

[KuralySnipes]

At least the people that dont care about the Red Sox won't get the Red Sox shoved down your throat tonight since the game isnt on NESN.

But, Go Sox and B's!

 

[Bridges31]

Those penguins jerseys. Yuck

 

[Alicat]

Those penguins jerseys. Yuck

I was thinking the same thing. Even on mute w/ closed captioning, this broadcast is annoying.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Are those Jersey's new ?

3rd Jersey's ?

They are terrible!
