5-1 Bruins.
They'll be happy to get back to the Garden.
Nash gets 1, Pastrnak snipes 2. (Rick Nash that is)

Most important is how terrible for the Staal family. I am sure there are no words for something so sad.
I will be watching from home so cheer loud all who are going to the game.

Sending all my love and prayers to the Staal family. The death of anyone is hard, but to lose a child- an infant...that pain is unimaginable.
I lost my nephew at 21 days old from CDH almost 6 years ago. And that pain never leaves.

This is off topic but why the hell would NBCSN show Montreal/Philly over TB/Tor tonight?

Certainly they'd have the power to adjust mid season?
Terrible news for the Steals.
Go Bruins, should be a blowout.

My guess is that it actually was predetermined months and months ago. I don't think there's a whole lot of wiggle room after the TV schedule is announced. There's probably a limit on the number of times a team is shown on NBC, and probably an understood minimum that each US team probably gets at least 1 shot on national TV, if not 2.
Also, unlike the NFL, which does have constant flex scheduling in the latter half of the season for NBC's SNF (if I remember correctly), when NBC comes in and takes over a broadcast for hockey, either one of two things would have to happen:
1) They kick not one, but two RSNs out of the broadcasting booth for an exclusive...if it's a USA/USA game. If you think Jack Edwards gets pissed off about not getting all the BOS/MTL games to cover, can you imagine how he'd feel about giving up some of the biggest potential games of the season?
2) NBC gets a non-exclusive game, which means they'd be blacked out locally (one market if it's USA/CAN, two markets if it's USA/USA), and the RSNs would broadcast alongside NBC.
Plus, it's not always in the NHL's best interest to show you the most interesting games for free. Center Ice, anyone?
Yes, I agree that MTL/PHI would be a snoozer, and TBL/TOR is exciting due to playoff considerations...but did they know that 8 months ago?

That all makes sense but they should fix it. I've tried Center Ice et all and I've always had blackout issues, never mind that you only get one HD game. This is 2018, they should be more nimble than needing 8 months advanced notice. The less ethical can stream any game in at least 720p and cast to their TV. Its not a winning business model

Mostly not serious input..
They may be mentally fatigued from trying to keep up that points streak. Now that it's over, I am expecting to see some lapses in focus. I am fully prepared for some more losses down the stretch, and don't really care provided we don't disadvantage ourselves going into the playoffs.

I don't know if you have Comcast, but you can now get any game you want in HD.
I owe Fenway a huge debt of gratitude for informing the board of this at the start of the season.
If you have Comcast, press and hold the microphone button on your remote. When the word 'Listening' appears on your screen, say 'NHL Center Ice Beta' then release the button.
All NHL conferences will appear with each team's logo. Lead your cursor to the team's feed you wish to watch, click 'OK,' wait about 5 - 10 seconds, and voila - HD of whatever game you want!
It has truly been a godsend this year.
And yes, thoughts and prayers to the Staal family. I can't even imagine what the entire family is going through right now.
My condolences to the Staal family, that is tragic. Hockey is great entertainment but we all know what is most important.
I hope we see the Bruins looking fresh, relieved, happy and ready to get back to their winning ways. Have some fun again boys!!

The GM just went out and acquired players to improve your team, a reward some would say for good play and indicating he believes this team has a chance to push for the cup. Hoping we don`t see the same kind of absolutely putrid effort and lack of focus tonight that they showed vs the Sabres. I`ll be disturbed if they don`t come out livid and play a focused 60 tonight

Xfinity offers the Center Ice games in HD IF you have a X1 box
NBCSN did the Philly/Montreal game because of cost - video came from NBC Philadelphia and all they needed was to provide audio.
