GDT: 2/27: Game 61: Welcome Home: Boston Bruins vs. Carolina Hurricanes 7pm ET NESN, 98.5 FM

Noooooooooo

 

[LouJersey]

You have to call up JFK, we can not have Riley Nash center our top line

 

[VanIsle]

Oh great Bergeron out.

Put Backes on the top line or mix it up, guaranteed the lines are mixed up after tonight with Bergeron out.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Hopefully Bergeron is in there, and this is just a maintenance day. While I would like a call-up in there over Gionta, if Bergeron can't go, they're going to need to get him in there for some looks.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

That didn't take long for Gionta to be playing on the 3rd line. Glad we picked up depth but I really don't want Nash on the 1st line. Hopefully Bergeron is fine.

Edit: Bergeron apparently isn't fine.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

And nevermind. f*** this noise.

 

[VanIsle]

Better now for Bergeron then later.

Rough week for the best player on each team in the Atlantic.

Matthews, Kucherov, and now Bergeron, ouch.

And yet, Boston gets porked again. Bergeron will be out the longest.

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

The good news is we’re not really fighting for a playoff spot. That’s about it

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Save us Ryan Donato, you're our only hope.

"Gionta isn't going to see any ice time. He's a locker room presence/veteran leader and that's it unless a bunch of injuries happen" God were we wrong.

I'm not mad... yet, but this feels like a Clode move. I'm guessing they're calling somebody up or...?

 

[Bruinaura]

So basically, Bergeron played five periods on a broken foot.

 

[VanIsle]

I keep looking up fractured foot for NHL players, and it says the same 4-6 weeks.

Not good Dr. Recchi, not good at all!

If this holds true for Bergeron, he's looking at somewhere between the last week of March and the beginning of the playoffs for a return.

 

[Grimey]

Wish Rooney got moved at the deadline... to a different planet.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Heinen - Backes - Wingels 3rd line?

Maybe later on, but tonight it sounds like they're going with the lineup with Nash as #1 center. Did the Bruins get Wingels because of this? Depth, but also because they knew Bergeron was going to be out for a bit. Not saying Wingels in as #3L center, but does every slot up and he takes over Kuraly's 4th line center spot?

Get him healthy and rested for the playoffs ! He has taken a beating of late and has seemingly been nursing little injuries. Get better Bergy !!

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

The worst possible time (other than the playoffs obviously) to be hurt. Also the end of his MVP chances most likely. The rest of these guys need to step up in a big way

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Heinen - Backes - Wingels 3rd line?

Better than Gionta on it. What about:

Heinen -- Kuraly -- Backes
Schaller -- Wingels -- Acciari

And nevermind....Cassidy stated that at least, to start, Wingels will be on the RW with Heinen/Backes.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Holden and McQuaid are confirmed scratches as well.

I wouldn't say worst possible time....the B's are in a great position (20 points up on Florida and still having 5 games in hand over Toronto) and he can rest up. Even at 6 weeks, he would be ready for the playoffs.

It’s just that we’ve got a ton of games from now until the end of the year. Hopefully in two weeks he’s looking better and the time he misses is minimal

Heinen - Backes - Wingels 3rd line?

Oh thank God. Wingels was traded yesterday at like 4PM. What has he been doing this whole time?

 

[Alicat]

Oh thank God. Wingels was traded yesterday at like 4PM. What has he been doing this whole time?

Maybe settling things with his family?
