Great to hear he`s back, cringe if he and Loui don`t put up 10pts tonight at the reactions of some here exclaiming that this trade is and will be a tremendously negative one if they don`t

my friends want to go out to a restaurant and watch this game and I feel like a total nerd for wanting to stay in so I can actually focus on the Marchand - Bergeron - Eriksson line

 

[PrisonMike]

I tweeted at the bruins if there was a stream or anyway to watch, no response as usual . Really want to see bergy tonight, it's unacceptable in this day and age that a team like the bruins dont have every pre-season game on TV or at the very least streamed on the web.

You won't have to worry cause I don't think it's on TV anywhere...

God forbid, that may cost money and nesn ownership is all Red Sox all the time , this is why the bruins are down there with the revolution in regards to media coverage .

Any news on the new Red Sox show called what kind of underware are we wearing ? It will be on 5 days a week pre and post game

Only because the Sox have the night off Monday.

doesn't seem like it's going to be streamed or on tv anywhere...

How can two clubs... one calling themselves "Hockeytown" and the other having the following it does after going to the SCF twice in 3 years not be covering this game?

I am seriously baffled.

EDIT - on second thought... the Red Wings regional sports channel HAS to be broadcasting this game, right? They broadcasted the away game the other night.. it wouldn't make sense that they'd skip their preseason home opener. So I'm holding out for that and then nutjob or someone to stream it

I checked yesterday, the Wings site only shows local AM radio coverage, nothing on TV.

It's total bull**** but this is how pre-season NHL is. I had a whole rant about why we don't have a full-time NESN2 channel the other day, and it still applies. If MSG can have four channels and MASN two, NESN could certainly have a second. It's infuriating and baffling.

You're right. Just checked their schedule and they have nothing under "TV network" for this game
Same with the Bruins website.

what the **** man

EDIT - At least we'll be able to hear it on 98.5 the sports hub :|

 

[Dellstrom]

NESN comes through again!!!

 

[Odie]

The NHL is the only league that feels like it forces it's fans to hunt for games.

Pretty sure no radio either, unless something changed today. Goucher even said during Thursday's game they wouldn't be going to DET and would be back for Monday's game against Washington.

 

[SerenityRick]

Lineup per Bruins twitter:

Marchand-Bergeron-Eriksson
Johnson-Spooner-Fraser
Smith-Kelly-Söderberg
Caron-Campbell-Lindblad

Seidenberg - Hamilton
Moore - Boychuk
Krug - Miller

Chad Johnson, Niklas Svedberg

EDIT - Defensive pairings changed around per Bruins twitter

lmfao.. you're right.

So we get nothing. Literally nothing.

Oh.. except the Boston Bruins twitter updates :/

Chad Johnson, Niklas Svedberg

Big night for 3rd line candidates.

Big night for 3rd line candidates.

Wouldn't be surprised if that line of Smith - Kelly - Soderber is the opening night 3rd line

guess it depends on how well Johnson, Spooner and Fraser play. Those 6 guys are clearly the frontrunners for the job at this point (with Kelly being automatic)

I'm guessing lines 2-4 are typos regarding players playing on their off-wing? Seems weird to have the first line listed correctly though.

Soderberg on his off-wing MAY be the way to go for him...

Other thought? Johnson is having a fine preseason, but if he's the guy with the open spot, I'll be very disappointed. Not in HIM or management, but in our young crew with upside that failed to make that decision possible. I don't believe that Johnson has the offensive potential to be the player we need in that spot.

This should be an easy win for the B's tonight. The Wings are icing an AHL defense and lots of rookie forwards. Don't be surprised if the Bruins return an 8-2 win tonight. No Howard in net either.

Red Wings:

Franzen - Weiss - Cleary
Nyquist - Andersson - Bertuzzi
Miller - Emmerton - Ferraro
Jurco - Sheahan - Järnkrok

Quincey - Smith
Ouellet - Sproul
Lashoff - Paetsch

Gustavsson
Mrazek

Injuries:

Helm (groin, indefinitely)
Eaves (knee & ankle, 2-4 weeks)
Smith (groin, day-to-day)
Kindl (hip flexor, day-to-day, out for weekend)
Alfredsson (groin, day-to-day)

Pulkkinen (suspended)

In these preseason games, the score just doesn't matter to most of us.

For me, it's been much more about the roster and how it will fill out. I would love to see a big game from Soderberg on the right side.

I can't believe no one is streaming this game, on a Saturday night to boot. Bummer. Hope Caryn Sweetcheeks is on her game tonight with the Twitter updates.
