GDT: 4/5: Game 80: Don't Stop: Bruins vs. Carolina Hurricanes: 7pm ET NESN, FSCR, 98.5 FM

[Boston BROin]

We said similar things when looking at the Devils lineup. This Bruins team cannot take anyone for granted. If they start looking ahead to Thu night it will spell disaster. One game at a time boys.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. I was thinking the same thing about the Devil's lineup. The Canes are 3-7 in their last 10, but they did just beat the Rangers recently. The Bruins can't look past this game, but they need to go in there with confidence. Their offense has looked OK the last two games, so they need to skate hard and keep the play in their offensive zone. Defensive shells are not going to work for this team as all the talent is on the front end.

Chris Rooney

My thought exactly.

Three straight must win games and the NHL gives us Rooney?

Any word on the injured? Are any returning or do we still have Trotman and Morrow in the line up?

Go Bruins!!!

 

[Ratty]

I've brought bad luck each time I went to a game this season. But I'm not alone. Hoping tonight's the night I get to see a solid victory to give the team momentum. Looking forward to seeing Colin unless he's a #7.

 

[EverettMike]

Will the NHL let me box Chris Rooney if we do it for charity?

 

[TCL40]

This is an upgrade.

And I'm not wishing injury on anyone, but if McQuaid were to go down, whomever they called up next would also be an upgrade. Not sure what is going on with him these days but he is awful.

He's being mismatched. McQuaid is good for third pair minutes and PK time-ask him to do more than that and he gets exposed.

He's also very possible dinged up. He took that awkward hit from Loui the other night too.

 

[NewJackEdwards]

Just find a way to win.

 

[Riverfront]

Don't have a problem with Sweeney keeping Louie E. at the deadline, but why on earth did he not get rid of Siedenberg when he had a chance too.

 

[Riverfront]

Collin Miller is in the line-up tonight, that's a good thing.

 

[Sheppy]

My heart.

They'll win 3-2, I think.

 

[Riverfront]

Carolina is a tough opponent, play a very good system, bruins better not look past tonights game. Put a lot of pressure on Philadelphia and Detroit tomorrow if the bruins can win tonight.

 

[NewJackEdwards]

C'mon Bruins...this is the Hartford Whalers we're talking about...they once played in a mall. A flippin' mall. Bring it.

Keys (of course goaltending is the major one but):

Stay out of the box.
Krug needs to be a difference maker.
Loui needs to NOT be invisible.

For your information the Hartford Civic Center (now XL Center) is a quality barn

 

[NewJackEdwards]

Collin Miller is in the line-up tonight, that's a good thing.

Really want to see him grab the reigns and play his game. Make the simple play in his own end and push the pace/join the attack when he can.

 

[TMac21]

Kevan Miller says he is in, you know it is bad on D when that gets me hopeful for tonight.

 

[Greek_physique]

The good news: At the beginning of the year we wanted to see our youth in the lineup (Morrow/C.Miller) over Seidenberg

The bad: It happens in game 80 where we need to win.

Hopefully they show up tonight...

 

[Greek_physique]

Kevan Miller says he is in, you know it is bad on D when that gets me hopeful for tonight.

Couldn't agree more...although, he has been better in the second half of the season.

Tonight he'll probably get 28mins!

 

[Ace0813]

It's Millertime ladies and gentlemen.

 

[pgm16]

One win at a time !!!!!

 

[bp13]

We all know that any team worthy of going to the playoffs comes out tonight and ends this game early against a crappy team. Even with a terrible defense, the Bruins should roll this team.

But deep down, I think all of us expect them to come out hesitant and give up the first goal. When's the last time we beat Carolina at home? Ever?

I like it but don't know if Vatrano can play off wing

 

[bp13]

It shouldn't matter one bit who plays with whom tonight. This is a solid forward group against a team of nobodies. This is 1000% on the players,specifically the best players, tonight. Bergeron, Krejci, Marchand, LE. These four can and should win this game themselves.

 

[Sturm]

Colin Miller called up? Yes. I can't watch another minute of that Morrow Trotman pairing.

 

[DKH]

Will the NHL let me box Chris Rooney if we do it for charity?

He went to CM and supposedly was a Bruins fan so to show everyone he isn't playing favorites he screws them every chance - I don't ever want to see him call a game involving Boston

 

[TMac21]

Z-KM
Krug-McQ
Liles-Chiller

Have to assume this is the D?

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Well with the way things have gone this season, I'm going to stick with the theory that when I can't watch them they do fine and win, when they are on national tv and I can watch they lose and lose bad. This hopefully is another case of that.
