[Caper Bruins fan]

Working night shift tonight so it will be Breakfast with the Bruins tomorrow. I would like to see Bjork get one .

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Almost 20 years since the last win at home against the Avs?

Time for that horrendous streak to end.

Just win.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Why is landeskog on the the third line and playing right wing? Behind yakupov no less? I have not followed the avalanche, clearly

 

[beantown bullies]

So since the Red Sox and Yankees both won, does this mean the Bruins get changed to NESN Plus?

It's just the way the lines work, but the Duchene line is actually the 3rd line. Also, at our most recent practice Tyson Jost was bumped up to the Landeskog/Compher line, while Colin Wilson moves down to the 4th line with Soderberg and Comeau.

Red Sox postseason games are never on NESN. Sox are on FS1 Monday.

 

[bruinsfan1970]

Hope the Bruins play another good game as I will be working today and that's why I hate matinee game's. Let's go Bruins!!!!!!!

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Looking forward to watching all the youngbloods speeding around and Spooner with a class A wingers. Plenty of interesting situations to observe tonight.

 

[TerminatorBlue]

Any idea if Bergeron or Krug is in the lineup?

 

[JCRO]

Probably try and find a way to work from home this afternoon

 

[CptxMorgan]

Had no idea this was a matinee game, kind of disappointed I'll be missing it. Any word if Czarnik will be playing?

 

[wintersej]

Any idea if Bergeron or Krug is in the lineup?

Bergeron unlikely.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Had no idea this was a matinee game, kind of disappointed I'll be missing it. Any word if Czarnik will be playing?

He’s centering the 4th line today going by lineups.

 

[Ratty]

Taking my just turned 6 yr. old grandson to his first game. Hope it's a win. Happy to see Torrey and Austin back in the lineup.

 

[Ladyfan]

Came into work at 6:30 am and leaving in time to go to the game .

My sis has tickets to both games (Sox and B's).

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[ODAAT]

Not sure why the Avs have had the B`s number for years at home, but it ends today

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians and Happy Columbus Day to my friends south of the border

 

[beantown bullies]

Red Sox postseason games are never on NESN. Sox are on FS1 Monday.

Thank Fenway, appreciate it.

 

[TP]

Stupid job. I can't watch. Does anyone know if the CBS app is still airing Bruins games? I am going to get my Sirott fill today (hopefully)

 

[Hali33]

This early in the season don't take any chances with Bergy.

It will be great to have Krug back.

 

[neelynugs]

Any idea if Bergeron or Krug is in the lineup?

based on quotes from practice yesterday, i'd say krug in, czarnik 90% in, bergeron likely out.
