GDT: 11/27 Black Friday Matinee Boston Bruins vs. NY Rangers 1pm NBC, SN 98.5 FM

[bobbyorr04]

Bruins are going to ride Rask's great goaltending and eke out a 4-3 win in overtime . Unfortunately,I won't see it until 11 pm ,working a 3-11 so it is DVR time . Enjoy the game !

Similar situation for me too.

I work from 7 to 5, so won't be able to see the (recorded) game until I get home.

Nice GDT Ali.

 

[Bridges31]

The only reason why i want Connolly on Bergy's line is because that is the only time Connolly has looked good.

For all of Connolly's faults, he's still pretty impressive with the puck along the boards IMO. I've seen him win many one on one battles.

I'm working until 8am which means I have to get up early to watch this and go back to sleep afterwards. Oh well, at least I'll be able to watch it (maybe with a cold drink in my hand )

 

[Latrappe]

Of course, i will be at work and not being able to watch this contest. Tough matchup this afternoon. Bruins better be ready to play since NY redeived a beating against MTL. Once again, our goaltending need to be stellar, this one.

I hope the B's win but don't have high hopes.

Please play a better game than the one vs Detroit.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[81ragnaH]

Hope everyone had a tremendous Thanksgiving.

Today will be the post-turkey day tradition. Tree goes up during the Bruins game, rest of holiday stuff goes up afterwards. Enjoy the day, all!

Go Bruins!

10 AM and it is complete mayhem at North Station/TD Garden.

Long lines outside the Bruins proshop and every bar near the Garden is packed. The fans will be well oiled and throw in about 3,000 Rangers fans and it should be an interesting afternoon on and off the ice.

Still deciding where to park,Forest Hills,Back Bay or Sullivan Sq. I think Back Bay is out.

Hayes vs Hayes

May the taller Hayes win!

 

[AlpineLager]

Really want to see this team respond well after arguably one of their worst gamess of the season the other night.

Unfortunately I expect panic once again in our own zone. D to D behind the net passes and unforced slappers waist high around the boards. Hope I am wrong

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Brunch and Bruins here as its a 10am game for us. Hubby and kid at rink now, should make it back right before puck drop. Then it's off to get the tree and start getting this place looking like Christmas! Let's go B' s!!

The view from New Yawk

http://nypost.com/2015/11/27/rangers-alain-vigneault-hints-at-two-possible-lineup-changes/

It seems like it took a bad loss for Rangers coach Alain Vigneault to rethink his lineup.

Following Wednesday night’s 5-1 defeat to the Canadiens at the Garden, Vigneault set up Thursday’s practice in Westchester County with Emerson Etem skating as the fourth-line right wing, while Dylan McIlrath came in on defense in place of Dan Boyle.

The coach said he “wouldn’t guarantee that 100 percent†for Friday afternoon’s game in Boston against the Bruins, but it was looking likely that something was going to change.

“This morning I wanted Emerson and Dylan to get some normal reps, they haven’t had reps with the regular guys, so I could have the option for [Friday],†Vigneault said. “I’m still in the process of watching Boston’s game and finalizing our game from [Wednesday] night. So I’ll know before I go to bed.â€

Etem has played just seven of the first 22

This NHL Thanksgiving Showdown once looked like it might have little luster, but suddenly the Bruins have won four in a row. The Rangers’ last six games, meanwhile, have been incomplete efforts that were up for grabs, even if they have posted a 4-2-0 mark in those matches.

Plus, after visiting Boston, the Rangers have to head back home and complete a back-to-back by hosting the Philadelphia Flyers at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the Garden. The schedule is heavy, and the Blueshirts are doing themselves a disservice if they truly believe they played well in Wednesday’s first period against Montreal, as Vigneault said after the loss.

Fun fact: The Bruins have yet to win a game where Rene has sung only one anthem.

You need a French version - it's like a two for one deal up here all the time.

 

[Sheppy]

Crap, forgot it was a noon game today! Damn you guys down there...

 

[mislysBB]

Pretty much preparing for the worst/a blowout.

Hope I'm wrong.

 

[TCL40]

I don't see this game going well but maybe the defense will surprise me.

I too want to see Connolly back with Bergy.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Nice GDT Ali! Just beat dem bums from New York!

 

[ksp1957]

At the game today with my family. Hope they manage a good game. My only game in person this season...

 

[Alicat]

According to nbc Boyle and Stalberg are scratched and McIlrath and Etem are in. I guess we know what game NY intends on trying to play..

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

More of than not this team matches up well against the Rangers.

I've got high hopes.

 

[TP]

I expect them to get murdered, so we will likely make it close or even win.
