If I had to play with Hayes, I wouldn't try hard either.

 

[Therick67]

Any bets on when Hayes gets that 100th career point?

 

[Ladyfan]

Please win.

If you are going to the game cheer loud for our boys.

HERE WE GO BRUINS..HERE WE GO

No Drouin or Bishop tonight for TB.

 

[PlayMakers]

Tough one tonight.

Glad to have Pasta back. Rask will need to bring it.

 

[Marcobruin]

As the poster Joe z said. ...Tb is going to win the cup this year. .
Its obviously way early but they'd be my pick if the playoffs began today. .

 

[Healthy Wrap]

Of all the questionable roster decisions Claude has made over the years, him opting for 0-0-0 -7 Jimmy Hayes over 0-0-0 -7 Matt Beleskey ranks somewhere near the bottom.

 

[World of Wardlow]

Was De Han suspended for the Drouin hit? Just wondering.

And is Backes back tonight?

 

[DoubleAAAA]

Honestly, I kind of wonder if Hayes isn't actually doing the things that the coaching staff has asked of him. He's been more engaged, he's been more physical. He hasn't been effective at all but I wonder if they feel he's responded and it just isn't working so they don't want to punish him while he's doing the things they've asked.

It really is too bad that the line has been so awful, would have been nice to see Jimmy get some results. Not like he doesn't realize he's the local whipping boy.

Don't think the staff has done him any favours by forcing that line to stay together either when it's clearly not working for any of them.

Was De Han suspended for the Drouin hit? Just wondering.

And is Backes back tonight?

I thought I read (somewhere) that Backes may play Sat. ?

 

[Jonathan17]

Was De Han suspended for the Drouin hit? Just wondering.

And is Backes back tonight?

No supplemental discipline for De Han.

None for Schenn either.

Both worse hits than Pasta's.

 

[Hali33]

I think this will be their toughest one so far.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Being a team that plays back up goalies isn't such a good thing but it's a chance at points.

Beleskey at his worst is on part with Hayes at his best so I think that's an odd choice but will not make a difference.

Go B's.

 

[mmonty]

Just saw Brandon Carlo interview and his hands look huge. Thick wrists too. Once he fills out we may have a monster on our hands.

 

[Ladyfan]

I thought this game was starting at 7 ???

 

[BMC]

Drop the ****ing puck already

 

[Gee Wally]

7:30

 

[missingchicklet]

Go Bs!

 

[DaStinger]

Please score at least 3 goals tonight and I'll be very happy.

You know what they say.... big wrists, big wrister

 

[SanDogBrewin]

A Florida sweep would nice.

 

[toasterjam]

every time Carlo speaks, he has such a calm/confidence to him...sounding like a vet.

Who knows how the bruins will end up this season, but I am really enjoying watching Carlo breaking out and looking so good.

Beleskey can bring more - but also should be bringing more. Hayes is what he is - Beleskey is the player that needs to wake up.
If I was going to sit one of them to send a message - it'd be Beleskey - because he should be playing much better than he has been - (also sends a message to Hayes)
