Pre-Game Talk: 2/4 7 PM - Maple Leafs at BRUINS - NESN, CBC, WBZ-FM 98.5

I'll never root for a loss, but part of me would like to see them put out of their misery so thg they can start making the hard decisions.

Rip the bandaid off.

 

[ashnathan]

Anything less than a win in REG is unacceptable.

 

[TMac21]

I miss Saturday night hone games from a few years back, hard hitting, a couple of scraps and a win.

 

[Mantis]

Remember when Boston used to just hammer the Leafs every game?

I would love to see this. I have a few buddies who are Leafs fans and they are getting unbearable

 

[ODAAT]

If we lose this one we should pack it in for the year. Sellers at deadline, start building for next year. Discard what we won't need going forward.

I wouldn`t be a good GM cuz I feel that way now

Who am I kidding, I wouldn`t make a good waterboy

 

[Ladyfan]

Well I still hope for a B's win.

GO B's !

The last 2 home games were wins.

I always hope for wins! Enjoy the game and I hope for a pleasant ride home for you.

Comparing to percentage stats in the GDT, you've got to be impressed by the Leafs. Then again, the game is played on the ice, not on sabermetrics boards.

they are a blast to watch, fast as he**. My opinion/approach tonight is not to dump and chase, their back end, other than Polak are quick and will get there first. I`d like to see soft chip/chase and try and hem them in under the goal line where they are truly horrific.

If the B`s let this team take the neutral zone and then enter the B`s zone with speed, it`s over and right now Anderson can`t save a beach ball, shoot everything from everywhere

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Definetly huge game for Bruins ,Leafs have 5 games in hand it's either win or pack it in for Bruins as far as I'm concerned.

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

Go Bruins. Hope Bergeron and Rask are ok. Toronto is now a chal'enge for every NHL team

 

[Walkenthewalk]

This should be a day game, definitely a day-game day. Go B's !!!!

 

[Absurdity]

 

[Orrfourever]

I think you would have better luck holding back the tide than stopping Bergy from playing.

Just win baby!

Go Bruins!!!

[Hamilton Brian]

Unfortunately going to miss this one since we'll be at the Hamilton Bulldogs game tonight. I am hoping we can reverse the trend against Toronto tonight. This team has shown flashes of being able to do it. I hate that there is this huge discrepancy between games played. What an idiotic schedule.

 

[Spanky185]

Won't lie, I really wanted to see if Claude really would have iced that Marchand-Spooner-Pasta line from practice yesterday.

 

[Ratty]

This is a Must Win game. Then again, I think I've said that about twelve times this seasons far.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

This should be a day game, definitely a day-game day. Go B's !!!!

Not going to see any Maple Leafs games on Saturday afternoon while there is still a Hockey Night in Canada.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

This is a Must Win game. Then again, I think I've said that about twelve times this seasons far.

But this one is the biggest. Until the next one.

 

[Bruinaura]

"To the extent that he's allowed." Wonder what that will end up being. Bergeron wants the two points, they aren't going to limit his minutes unless they literally tie him to the bench. And then he'd still try to go over the boards.

 

[TheBigThree]

Must win game for both teams I see. Hopefully we have a good game tonight and not another tire fire from both teams.

 

[Bruinaura]

Loftus also said Julien is sick and had to duck out of the press conference in a hurry.

 

[bizman]

Loftus also said Julien is sick and had to duck out of the press conference in a hurry.

Will that affect his coaching performance tonight?
