There seems to be many more of these NESN+ games than usual. Too bad. I like the Sox but not until the NHL's offseason.

Nice GDT, MF.

Would be nice to finally win a game, seeing how we don't know what that feels like anymore.

Great another NESN plus game with terrible sound and awful picture feed.

I do not mind having the second channel but I do mind the absolute poor quality of the broadcast-no excuse for that. If I knew where to complain I would.

As for the game-my hope is that they will play well and win decisively, but who knows with this team lately. They need the win though.

We have very little optimism left in these forums...

FWIW:

The LA Kings lost 5 of their last 8 heading in to the playoffs last year.

Bruins were a mere 8-10 in their final 18 games in 2011. (3-3 in their final 6).

Blackhawks lost 7 of 9 before going 6-1 in their final 7 in 2010.


Small sample size, but hey, momentum doesn't necessarily mean everything. Just ride these last few games out, make sure everybody is healthy, and get ready for (hopefully) a long playoff run.

Tampa played Toronto at home last night. Travel to Boston. Out of playoffs. No excuses for anything less than a good effort. We haven't played a game since Sunday. I'm not counting that going thru the motions effort in Philly as a game.

yeah.
tampa will have no interest in playing tonite.
Even as bad as the Bruins have been, they should still win tonite.

A win is obviously important this evening however, more important IMO, is to get back to the simplicity of the system CJ and his staff have put in place and for a certain few to put the puck in the net to "maybe" have them feeling better about their games.

Pevs,Looch,Krejci all need to have something positive going, like to see Sods pop one too

Lets do the math;
Tampa 2 guys in top 3 for scoreing
Bruins 0 guys in the top 20 for scoreing

Goaltending
Bruins; Big edge here
Tampa; Bruins make other goalies look like vezina winners

Lets go BRUINS
This is the type of team they have to beat.!

On paper arguments don`t work, TBay in a position now of playing strictly for pride. Playing loose, guys fighting for a contract/jobs next season. What "should" be a cake walk, won`t be, they "should" win handily, I suspect they will win, but it won`t be a blowout

NESN minus (I mean NESN +) makes Jack sound like he is calling the game from inside a tin can.

If we get a point tonight, by my calculations anyway, we clinch at least 4th and home ice in the first round. So I hope we can pull a win out and then give some guys some rest the next two games before the playoffs start.
