BRUINS GDT 7/30 - The Bear Awakens - BRUINS vs Blue Jackets 7:07 PM ET - NESN, NHLN-US, SN1, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

By game time I'll be out at the cottage with the kids for the month. Long time since I've watched hockey out there. Not sure if I'm excited or detached nowadays but will be nice to get outta dodge and kick back watching some bloody games again.

I've been out of the loop. No Ritchie or Kase? Covid related or scratched?

Enjoy the cottage. I am excited but also fear it could come to an abrupt halt like the season did in March.

One of my local rinks reopened several weeks ago, and being on the ice was a wonderful reminder of what was normal.

This GDT is another treasured bit of normal. Thanks Ali!

Heres to a super slow work day...

LFG!!!!!! Finally!!!!

 

[Gee Wally]

Great job Ali.
Thanks!

Today will feel like an off day after shooting 3 games yesterday there is only one game in Toronto - ours.

So in theory the ice should be decent - in theory

 

[Number8]

Sort of an aside, but is Josh Anderson still on the shelf for CBJ? If so, going to be tough to argue that's not a really bad injury for him career-wise. Been a long time now.

So are you enjoying your time in Toronto so far ?

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

No GDT on the lumbus board....

I kinda feel slighted

So far no complaints

My overloads are happy with the finished product - Anyone watching last night would have no idea that Doc was calling the game from his house in Michigan and Keith Jones was in Connecticut.

NESN tonight will have one dedicated camera they can operate from Watertown to show Bruins bench shots.

Last night the rink sounded like Madison Square Garden with their organist on the PA. Unfortunately, the Bruins decided against sending clips of Ron Poster because the control room at TD Garden is shuttered because EVERYBODY responsible for opening the building is on furlough.

i was fairly anti-restarting the season. Then i watched about 10 minutes of the Coilers/Lames game the other night and was like "HOOOCCCCCKKKKKKKEEEEEYYYYYYY!!!!!"

still think it's kind of a bad idea, hope it goes as well as possible. not sure i'll acknowledge whoever wins this as the champion of anything, but i can no longer claim not to be into it

Appears that he's still on the shelf. I would imagine that the pandemic has been a part of why he's not ready. He's a good player. Hope to see him back next season

This is how I feel as well.

Can't believe it's finally back.

5-3 good guys
Pasta x3

 

[Dizzay]

Bruins 4-1
Coyle, Pasta, Bergy, Studnicka

Yummy yummy cookies!

If Seth Jones plays tonite, I'll watch him and dream of him in Black and Gold. Who can't like a guy whose Dad is Popeye.

If Brandon Carlo plays tonite, I'll watch him and know we're just fine.

 

[Ladyfan]

4-2 B's

3 goals by our #1 line

1 goal for Anders Bjork.

 

[Orr Fourever]

Would not be opposed to the Bruins exacting some revenge on said Blue Jackets. But that's just me.

Go Bruins...

Agree, he's definitely a solid player. Boy, that's a long shoulder injury for a guy that relies on a big, heavy game though.

 

[BruinDust]

Happy to see Sportsnet 1 picked up this game. Looking forward to seeing the boys back in action, especially interested in seeing what Studnicka does riding shotgun with Debrusk/Krejci. If this kid is ready for the show, he could end up a huge factor in the Bruins success in the Return-to-play tournament.

Seth is my favorite player on that team. Having said that I want the B's to beat them .

He could end up like Kevan Miller did after his shoulder surgery- limited hitting & fighting

It's a really good point -- and a sad one. Killer was a warrior for us. Sadly I think those days are probably past.

Of course Kevan gets to hand around with Marchand a lot, so he's got that going for him.
