GDT: #14 - 11/5: Military Appreciation Night - Boston Bruins vs. Dallas Stars - 7pm ET, NESN, 98.5 FM

[AngryMilkcrates]

Just want a win with some secondary scoring. Is that to much to ask?

If the past two weeks is any indication...Yes.
Yes it is.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Let's hope Dobby was out with Seguin last night.

Let's go B's

 

[Chief Nine]

Some around have already deemed him finnished!

 

[pgm16]

Bruins win 3 - 2, ! Don't care who scores actually

 

[Sheppy]

I wanna know who scheduled this ****. I fly to Boston on Thursday, B's are out of town. I fly back to Dallas for work on Sunday, tonight they play the Stars at home.

At least I've got Nov 17th.

I'm heading to Vegas on Wednesday until Tuesday, got super pumped that the Bruins were playing the Knights on the 11th, but it's in Boston...

Oh good, Acciari is still in.

 

[Cronuss]

Oh good, Acciari is still in.

Unlike Rask, Acciari is playing his role as expected. Nobody is asking Acciari to score a bunch of goals. His line has been one of the best and most consistent. They play with energy, physicality, and create chances. That's all you can really ask for IMO.

Rask, on the other hand, should be riding pine.

 

[Mantis]

Seeing Nordstrom on the second line makes me sick.

 

[MetM]

Seeing Nordstrom on the second line makes me sick.

In a perfect world he would be on the 4th line but..........

 

[Mick Riddleton]

One or two goals is not going be enough to win tonight, going have to get 4 somehow. Dallas has a lot of scoring power

 

[Ratty]

I'm expecting big things from that dynamic third line. They've combined for one goal!

Nowhere to go but up!

I'm calling Acciari with a hattrick and Backes with an empty netter tonight.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Backes at center makes me sick, should be at wing on the 4th line

 

[HustleB]

Seeing Nordstrom on the second line makes me sick.

Easy enough to swap him and Heinen. For one game based on there current play, I consider this a non factor. The potential chemistry between Heinen and Backes plus that between Nordstrom, Krejci and Debrusk gives us the best shot at a win tonight.
As ugly as this it is every team needs a guy who can go up and down the lineup. Last year we hit gold with Nash to the point we could no longer afford him. Now I am hoping Nordstrom continues to play that same role which was completely unexpected.

I was going to "like" your post, but I actually don't. Wish you could have seen the boys play in Vegas.

He needs to play at some point. I mean he won't get better watching. You got Dallas, Vancouver (Thur) and then Toronto and Vegas back to back this weekend.

With how each guy is playing, would you rather Rask play the first two teams or second two?

 

[Estlin]

You know you've got a bad lineup when Nordstrom is on the second line, Backes is on anywhere but the fourth and Debrusk continues to play his off-wing.

 

[roflstomper]

Looking at that forward lineup I'm thinking to myself "okay who are we missing", then it dawned on me. That's it. Right now that is our healthy forward group. Out of the 12 positions I honestly don't think we're above average in more than more than 4 of them.

Go home team, go.

 

[Emerz]

It sucks because last year the 2nd line was actually... good, but now it's just a black hole at ES. Extended slump? Or did they just get lucky for a whole season?

I'm hoping for a big win tonight.. 5-4 with a good scoring mix.

 

[The don godfather]

Bjork with a pop tonight. Book it. Go Bruins.

Acciari is -6 that’s really not acceptable,yeah not expecting a lot of offence from him but he shouldn’t be so bad defensively.

 

[Hali33]

What’s going on with McAvoy?

 

[bobbyorr04]

I'm calling Acciari with a hattrick and Backes with an empty netter tonight.

Take two tylenol and go back to bed. I hope you feel better in the morning.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

What’s going on with McAvoy?

Concussion I think anyway

 

[xStanleyCupsFor]

I dozed off reading lines 2-4.

 

[Marcobruin]

Wouldn't at all be surprised that backes goes to the fourth line.....
I mean the guy has been useless..

 

[Marcobruin]

Prediction tonight
I predict:
Dallas will score more then 1
The bruins will score more then 0

 

[Marcobruin]

I'm calling Acciari with a hattrick and Backes with an empty netter tonight.

Umm. I can see Acciari scoring 3 more than I can see Backes scoring an empty netter.... I know im being hard on Backes... But I mean seriously he just keeps getting worse
