Pre-Game Talk: 8/9 - NOON - RR #3 - Hibernation Ends Take 4 vs Washington - NESN, NBCSN, SN, TVAS, WBZ-FM 98.5

[Silva]

Bruins will wake up when the games count and sweep their first round opponent

 

[Trap Jesus]

If this is a loss + they look bad, I'd anticipate a 4 or 5 game series loss vs. the Canes.

 

[GloveSave1]

Surprised there's no injury thread. Wondering what's going on with Bergeron and Krejci?

Would it kill you to be positive and not write them off just once?

Good grief Charlie Brown

If they play well and win they get a good matchup, and I would be way more confident in their chances. I can't give them any credit until I see they have it in them to play well though, there's just way too much uncertainty in this unique situation. The 2019/20 season was the equivalent of a full offseason ago.

Will the game be online?

NESN , Stream try

I doubt theres any value in an injury thread. All we are going to get no matter what is “player X has been deemed unfit to play”.

Feel free to start one though if you like.

Otherwise guys deemed unfit are in the Around NHL or Bubble threads.

What I hope to see...

Marchand Bergy Pasta/Kase
Debrusk Coyle Kase/Pasta
Bjork Krejci Studnicka
Nords Kuraly Wagner/Lindholm/Kuhlman

What no Ritchie? It would be an injury fest. Deterrent needed in 3......2......1

No. The Boston Globe reported that both were unfit to practice, buy Cassidy said he figured they'd play thr next game.

[The National]

The bruins are resting guys, why is this shocking?

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Bruins win they get the Isles, a team they own for the past few years.

Bruins lose, they get a team they swept last year.

Win-Win

Caps win, they get their former coach who will want to beat them very much.

Caps lose, they get the team who eliminate them last year.

lose-lose

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

If this is a loss + they look bad, I'd anticipate a 4 or 5 game series loss vs. the Canes.

What an awful take.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

I play golf tomorrow morning at 7h30, then bbq and Bruins at noon. Then PGA championship Sunday and finally Leafs being eliminated late night.

Awesome day.

 

[Emerz]

Some goals would be nice... guys can’t shoot or make plays right now.

 

[Kate08]

I will be sitting inside in the air conditioning, on a very hot day, watching a sport being played on glorious, cold ice.

I will be at the beach because the New England summer Is short and fleeting.

I will be at the beach because the New England summer Is short and fleeting.

I’m heading to the lake tomorrow. Will see the first period

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Lines look good. Looks like lineup for round 1.

Get Gryz back in and beat the Canes/Isles.

 

[Alberta_OReilly_Fan]

If this is a loss + they look bad, I'd anticipate a 4 or 5 game series loss vs. the Canes.

You mean you are cheering for it?

GDT has been delivered to Fenway
