Pre-Game Talk: Bruins-Caps-Sunday 11 APR

[sarge88]

If this were 1984......I’d tell Tinordi to fight Wilson first chance he got and to not stop until he’s bloody, just to set the tone.

Can’t happen today because players don’t throw punches after the linesmen tell them to stop.

While he doesn’t fight at nearly the rate that many here desire, Nick Ritchie keeps hitting his opponent until he physically is unable to in pretty much every fight.

I mean holy f***...a top pairing of Ahcan and Lauzon.

I will be absolutely ecstatic to pull points out of this.

luckily the caps have some guys that like to float around. hoping they do that tonite. similar to how pasta and krejci have been floating.

I don't necessarily expect points tonight, but Cassidy's teams have a history of winning some games when the lineup looks atrocious against quality opponents. Heck, the win this past Thur against the Caps didn't exactly have a D corps of world beaters. Caps goalies are nothing special, and that team does take some nights off. Maybe the first line can generate some scoring and the team D and goalie can hold the fort well enough to eke something out.

Oh boy...

 

[TD Charlie]

We getting another ppd situation?

 

[BruinsJoe]

Brutal...Caps remember the last game they wait for the Bruins to kick their ass and...we will lost another D

[ODAAT]

not feeling great about this one, said the B`s were going to get waxed last tilt vs Caps but now with yet another injury on the back end, really feel this could get ugly combined with playing yesterday, hope I`m wrong again

 

[Over the volcano]

Yikes welcome back Vladar.

Play the kids they said ...

 

[UConn126]

We getting another ppd situation?

Why?

 

[nORRis8]

To make it official the Bruins should wear the spoked P tonite, just to remove all doubt.

 

[pgm16]

We getting another ppd situation?

How come ?

I`ll be ecstatic if the B`s score a goal

 

[TD Charlie]

Why?

just the rumor floating around some arena staff

Everyone needs to keep it simple and work hard and more importantly smart.Be on the right side of puck battles with support.Go

Clifton looked a bit lost yesterday. In no mans land on all three goals against. Hoping he tightens things up as the young goalies need solid fundamental defensive d to keep traffic away from the net. Imagine Tinordi gets into a scrap tonight. But hoping he can be steady at home rather than just a big body enforcer.

Kampfer is better than Clifton in my opinion. Clifton has an aura of an offensive defenseman because he skates the puck, but he never makes a real play out of it, just dumps it or fires it through the crease.

double yikes. feel bad for Darth. this could be ugly.

[I Hate Philadelphia]

This has to be up there for the worst lineup of dmen ever iced in an NHL regular season game, no?

 

[TSBruins13]

Hope the charter for the defense tonight is just to body the heck out of the capitals and not worry about the acorebord

Liking my feeling in the lead up to this game.

Even though it’s obviously vital big picture in terms of staying in the playoff race, as a fan I feel like it’s a random, however unlikely, potentially great moment in the season if they get a win.
