Pre-Game Talk: Bruins vs Colorado Avalanche 10/10 7pm

[Fire Sweeney]

Can't sit Caron.

Sit Reilly or Shawn.

Sit both Caron and Thornton, call up Spooner.

 

[FallsForItEveryYear]

sit Thorton when yeti returns. i love shawn but hes not that important.

bartkowski should get in soon but its hard to sit anyone on d. hamilton has looked very solid in all three zones and krug has proved time and time again that he is a weapon on the pp.

McQuaid has been horrid in all 3 zones, he's the one who should sit.

That would be ideal against teams like Detroit, I just don't think Clode will do it. A bottom six of:

Soderberg-Kelly-Smith
Paille-Campbell-Caron

Would be great.

cant say ive watched intently enough to say hes been horrid in all 3 zones but he was certainly mostly at fault for that goal by tampa the other night. not sure how he ended up pinching on the same side of the ice that krug had already pinched.

i wouldnt be against it though

that fourth line would be a good third line on most teams

i would say its easily the best 4th line in the league especially if caron can continue playing the way he is

 

[ProdigalFan]

I find Steve Downey to be very Matt Cooke like.
His antics are lame and dangerous.

Agreed. Skating around quite recklessly out there.

 

[BadBruins]

At this point in time, I honestly believe Soderberg and Bartkoswski are more effective NHL players than McQuaid and Thornton. I don't think any coach makes that move this early in the season with a couple of hard nosed veterans who have been through the grind over the past 3-4 seasons. It'll work itself out IMO. Pressure from the 13th F and 7th D is a good thing.

 

[Ron Quixote]

Everyone except for Carl Söderberg on the ice today ^CS

 

[BobbyAwe]

I would love to see Johnny B line him up with a clean hit and/or Chara stare him down to the afraid state.

Or Looch can play Sea Bass and make him "find a happy place."

 

[KnightofBoston]

Who made this schedule? Long lay off and then two back to backs at the end of the month?

Why do we as a society continue to allow chimps near computer equipment, its sickening

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

For real, we play every Thursday this month, and every Saturday but don't play on any Sundays(usually the case but still) and no Tuesdays.

 

[Flannelman]

just got hooked up for tix on the 14th. it has been too expensive to come down for the past couple of years. really excited.

Is 1/19/14 because we play the Hawks?

sorry mean this next 14th - Columbus Day against the Wings.

The closest I've been to a live B's game the last 3 years is when I go to a Monarchs game and the B's are playing @ home.

I think that is the due date of flannelman's baby girl

 

[Flannelman]

thanks for the save, Beemer! I totally forgot I had put that above my avatar. and you're right!


@BergyMeister - I'm with ya. I've been going to more and more Monarchs games - besides it gives me a chance to practice my heckling skills. Has to be a drive for you, though?

You're welcome flannel

She's due the day before my birthday

How are she & mrsflannelman doing?

It's a long wait to Thursday.

or Marchy speed past him to score a goal and then skate up to his face and say "What"

 

[DoubleAAAA]

McQuaid has been horrid in all 3 zones, he's the one who should sit.

Only 2 games, but I agree he's been the weakest cog so far. He did make a couple strong plays against the Wings, and I think you miss his toughness and experience, but at this point he'd be my choice as well.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Oh cool haha, I looked at the Bruins schedule and noticed they play the Hawks that date too, was just curious.

I am happy you wil be there !
