Pre-Game Talk: Big Bad Canadiens vs. Bruins 7:30pm

[HBDay]

3 day's off after this, hope they don't start them early.

Only 11 goals will be acceptable from here on out.

Hoping for a good old fashioned match up, bad blood, hits and fights. Hope Boston wakes up for this one!

Hoping for a good old fashioned match up, bad blood, hits and fights. Hope Boston wakes up for this one!

Hits and fights are not their forte anymore.

Always get up for a Boston game.

 

[Fenway]

My Bruins are in panic mode after dropping back to back home games to Colorado and Toronto

Bruins generally play well in Montreal but can't beat the Habs in Boston.

The Bruins board is not in a good mood

Hoping for a good game

Coach Claude Julien broke up arguably the best line in the NHL in Sunday’s practice at Warrior Ice Arena. David Pastrnak, the NHL’s No. 2 goal scorer (18) behind Sidney Crosby (20), is no longer with Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron.

Pastrnak is practicing on the second line with Tim Schaller and David Krejci. David Backes, formerly the No. 2 right wing, is in Pastrnak’s spot on the first line.

Always a great match-up.

Time to roll out a classic gif:

Predicting Gally breaks his slump with a couple

Radulov with a hatty

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Don't know how Bruins lost to Avs they're terrible.

Streaks don't mean anything when these 2 teams meet & Bruins play us better in Montreal than they do at home. Kinda weird, but I actually expect the game to be hard & fast.

Should be fun.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Bergeron has 8 pts in 26 games.

Plekanec has 13 pts in 28 games.

 

[LaP]

Bergeron has 8 pts in 26 games.

Holy **** what is going on with him?

 

[Hackett]

Bergeron has 8 pts in 26 games.

Plekanec has 13 pts in 28 games.

Hmm, I had no idea bergeron had so few points.

Hopefully, the habs left some goals in their reserve for this one after scoring 19 goals in the last 3 games.

 

[HabsDood]

Bergeron has 8 pts in 26 games.

Plekanec has 13 pts in 28 games.

Good thing Plek got 4 passes saturday

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Feeling another multi-goal game from Patches.

4-1 win.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

So... the threesome will happen before, or after the game?

As long as he doesn't get punched in the nose whatever works to get him going

 

[Fenway]

This video captures the rivalry perfectly





Why the NHL scheduled this game head to head with a Patriots home game is insanity.

Our mood in Boston?

 

[Whitesnake]

This video captures the rivalry perfectly

Yeah, I love this picture.

As far as the mood in our respective boards....don't worry....we're winning and we keep insulting each other.

 

[TCIH]

I think Boston wins this one. They're due, right?

I also feel that this might be one of those seasons where the Bs and Habs meet in the playoffs. Maybe in the second round again.

 

[PaulD]

It used to be a special match up. Now before the two teams there is a lot of tradtional build up. Highlites and still shots of games played long ago. None current.

Having said that. Patches could be on a hot streak. Playing with Radulov where he should have been since day one. Therrien always catches on late, but eventually the coach gets it.

Go look the word gloat up. If price is off they lose this game.

Holy **** what is going on with him?

Nothing. Slow start. He's the guy who scares me most. Law of averages.

Faye dunaway. Hmm yummy.

 

[Kimota]

^^^^ holly crap that Cherry interview, wish coach would be more frank like this nowadays.

Anyway hopefully Bruins gets Emelinated.

 

[Tuggy]

Yes, I'm hoping Emelin absolutely destroys someone tonight.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Not going to lie, I miss Lucic on the Bruins.. seeing him get so rattled made these games so much more enjoyable.
