Is Gryz sick or injured ? Considering Forbert hasn't played in ages I can't see Gryz being a healthy scratch.

YES. Very pumped for Forbort. Let's go, do it for Darla!

Speedy recovery for Gryz. He will be needed.

Somebody better be switching Bruins water bottles after the first period with the Panthers when they’re not looking.

Lol I can picture Marchand laying the towels out at 4pm in the Florida lockeroom, coughing all over

I put the odds of Florida not catching this buy at basically 0%. They'll just have it blow up by game 5.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Maybe the Bruins need to be a little less huggy perhaps goalie fist pumps,Or fist pumps all around.Lol

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Got my pizza and beer ready, excited for the playoff run!

I expect this game to be a lot of fun.

Reminder of how good the Stanley Cup recp movie will be when it starts with "in the first series, despite the whole team getting sick, the Bruins overcame adversity to....."

Great victories require some great adversity!

 

[lopey]

Damn flu!

 

[Cronuss]

Pisses me off reading Marchand sore etc knowing he should have been rested down stretch .

He has looked exhausted for weeks, and even said he was exhausted weeks ago. I can't believe he didn't rest or they didn't rest him. Total nonsense.

 

[veganbruin]

I’m so anxious about how many guys will actually play or play sick tonight. What a freakin nightmare.

fist Bumps, bumps... please

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

Worried about Bergeron and Ullmark aren’t definite but they could win this series without them anyway. Can’t wait to be in the Garden tonight. LFG!!!!

Just ONCE... ONCE, can the Bruins just mow down everyone in their path and cruise to the Stanley Cup without any problems or drama? Other teams have done it in the past. It might be nice if the Bruins tried it. They certainly haven't tried doing it that way before.

I thought puck drop was 730?

 

[lopey]

of my good friends right now, 25% have the C word. No big deal, nobody in hospital. But can be a solid 5 day battle even for an elite athlete. Dunno if there's any way around this but through. That 3 days off after game 4 is starting to look like a saviour.


Fwiw I'm not even a little worried. Panthers will have to deal with it too in time, not likely they avoid it. This is why we're deep, have home ice, and TWO great goalies. We got this.

Imho if Ullmark and Swayman are allowed in the same room right now that should be fireable... keep them apart.

No goalie hugs lol

It is

 

[13Hockey]

Playoff Krejci about to put the team on his back

no no, to get a 4M cap bump the league needs to make MONEY

I want 4 series, each of 7 games, with about 5 OT games per series (some triple OT).

AND THEN a Bruins cup, of course. Cup raised after Bruins score in double OT

There's your revenue Gary!

F*ck Gary Bettman and the owners right in the liver.

Go Bruins!

 

[ODAAT]

whose flag bearer tonight? Big Z running directly from the Marathon, in all his running gear? Tuukka?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Hopefully I like when there is little to no lapping between 1st 2 games.


Hoping islanders upset Carolina

My guess is one of the marathon bombing survivors, or a group of them.

Place would go bananas if Chara showed up though for sure.

 

[bob77]

Damn flu!

Anyone that is sick probably won’t be at the arena, or should not be. We don’t need everyone getting sick in the next few days.

 

[Alicat]

Big man is estimated to finish in 3 hrs 38 minutes according to the marathon tracker app
