We more or less know the Offensive lineups, but what about the D pairings?
Chara-Boychuk
Seidenberg-Hamilton
McQuaid-Ference
????
Warsofski as 7th D for the first 2-3 games before Aaron Johnson completes conditioning for Providence?

Yeah looks right although Ference plays the left side on the bottom pairing.

Can't believe we're just around 11 or so hours away from the very first real GDT of the season.
Even though it's against the Bruins, I'm really intrigued to see how Nash does for New York in his first game. I'm hoping he sucks ass (at least when playing Boston

I can definitely see Peverley, Kelly and hopefully Bourque taking it to their third line. Could be the difference

It feels good to be back in real game action.
Hit them hard and him them early, will be interesting to see how Rask does as a starter and how the Krejci line does with Lucic not playing and Horton back after so long, also Hamilton playing against men.
Go Bruins Go.

Outside of Kreider and maybe Pyatt, that bottom 6 is pretty weak. A lot of toughness, but not a lot of guys that will show up on the scoresheet for anything other than a couple PIMs.
On the other hand, their top 6 and blueline are both pretty scary.
All in all, should be a great, physical game. I think the Rags are just the opponent the B's need to kickstart their season into high gear. A team that will force the Bruins to play strong, smart, physical hockey right off the bat.

Has the makings of a far more physical game between these two then we are used to. Old friend of mine who works in the City that I don't talk to much is a huge Bruins fan and frequents some of the same hangouts told me today that he ran into Prust and Bickell last year (wearing his Chara jersey) and Stu told him that Chara "threatened to kill him next time" for taking on Gregory Campbell (they did play one more time after that and nothing) ...add in Segal who will try to make a name for himself in his one game audition and you should have some early fireworks.

Anyone planning on doing the barstool sports pub crawl tomorrow? Apparently, it's starting at 1:00 over at the North Star. I'm guessing not many of the folks starting things off at that point are going to remember much of the game.

I'm the imaginary one that died recently. I'm hoping the Bruins use my death as inspiration in tomorrow's game.
