Series Talk: #2 Capitals vs #3 Bruins

[Fenway]

The reason the schedule has not been released is because of the NBA - Celtics now look like they are hosting a play in game on Wednesday at TD Garden on ESPN

For the Bruins or the entire league ? Why has only 1 game ( Boston - Washington) of 1 series been the only announcement thus far ?

The NHL has only confirmed that one game

 

[UncleRico]

The series hasn’t even started and people are already blaming the refs. My god lmao

 

[BTO]

If we lose game 1 I hope that doesn’t throw everyone ( myself included) into a panic .Please remember it is only 1 f***ing game .

Please, Caps have 30 seconds of zone time and we'll be in full meltdown (at least I will be anyway). That's how it works. Which reminds me - need beer. Time for my annual Sam Adams Bruins playoff ritual!

Damn Celtics.

 

[Fenway]

Damn Celtics.

We met get stuck with a back to back for Game 2 and 3

Compounding this is IF the Celtics LOSE on Wednesday they would host another game at TD Garden on Friday

 

[Bruinaura]

They haven't had their second shot yet?

Playoffs is a bad time for those side effects

Very kind of you to use IF and not WHEN.

 

[McGarnagle]

At least the Celtics won't conflict with us anymore after the first round of the NBA playoffs finishes.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

an underrated element to this series is that Carlson is gonna be logging hard minutes with wave after wave of Marchand and Hall flying down the wing at him.

It's a HUGE advantage to be able to chip away at a team's number 1 D like that.

Celtics are now penciled in to play on Tuesday night but if they lose their last 2 games on the road they then could play on Wednesday.

If the Celtics LOSE on Tuesday night they would host a game on Friday at TD Garden.

Could we see a repeat of what happened in 1983 when the Bruins were forced to play a home playoff game on a Friday afternoon?

 

[BAD BOY]

That’s normal reaction

 

[KnightofBoston]

well if they’re like me they’ll just have a stiff arm and need to hydrate more


Your specific reaction to it is complex, but you have a much better chance to feel “fine” if you’re in very good shape and drink a shit ton of water before the shot, during the day of your shot, and for 24 hours after


We all could use more water anyways

And not sure he’ll be 100%.

And why are the Bruins playing playoff games around a tenents schedule? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

 

[Blowfish]

Ovi and Backstrom worry the poop out of me but that's about it.

As long as we stay out of the box as much as possible we should be fine. I just really hope our PP picks up.

Both are banged up a bit - I ain't scared.

 

[The National]

Both are banged up a bit - I ain't scared.

Ovi looked pretty healthy the other night, or at least his shot did, he was rippin’ em.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Just wanted to include this here to continue the discussion on the unbalanced state of penalty calling in the NHL right now and how this will just be exacerbated in the playoffs.
How was this blatantly missed and nothing called?

Definitely has nothing to do with Tom Wilson getting a stick broken over him.

Definitely not.

 

[BruinDust]

Celtic without Jaylen Brown should just do the Bruins a favor and forfeit the games and free up the Garden.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

I hope Hall tones down the recklessness a bit this series.

Out of all the teams in the league, the Caps would be the most likely to clean him out over the middle if he holds onto it too long.

this isn't the EPL....

AND DN gets what advantage to having their building sit idle, if they're still paying for the Hub on CAUSEWAY... DID the Bruins request the Garden be turned into an entertainment complex?

 

[Greek_physique]

If playoff Krejci is alive in round 1...I ain't worried.

He is our X-Factor.
