[KrugAvoy]

So, if I hear thunder outside over the next few hours, that'll be Pastrnak being struck by lightning, then?

Krejci swept out to sea from a Hurricane
Zacha arreste by a New York park Ranger
Marchy slips on a Maple Leaf on sidewalk
Pasta hit by Lightning
Orlov gets cursed by a Devil

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Are Bergy and Ullmark the only GTDs? If so maybe everyone else is a go for tonight? I haven't seen anything about providence call ups

It seems like it's more than just a couple of guys. If Montgomery's being truthful, I think they're planning on icing the healthiest lineup available tonight. Some will probably be playing sick.

 

[DGS]

Adversity, in one form or another, was to be entirely expected. No one is more poised than we are to handle it.

LETS F'ING GO!

 

[TP]

I'm scared

 

[quietbruinfan]

Ullmark is a gametime decision WTH? If ever a game was set up to lose it is this one. Come on Bruins.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

yawn, so they only win 4-2 tonight instead of 5-1.

Pastrnak and McAvoy/Lindholm/Orlov good? Then we're fine

 

[LouJersey]

Florida has some bad asses on that team. going to be great. Eric Staal scares me like always

Is Gryz hurt or did Cam Neely turn in the line up card?

Bussi vs Lyon. 8-5 Bruins.

 

[Hamilton Brian]

Pretty interesting start to the series. Currently in Europe so will be living the playoffs via this forum until we get back May 18. The 6 hour time difference will hamper any live watching.

Go Bruins!

 

[Sheppy]

Biggest thing tonight is to strike first. Chasing the game in January is a lot different than chasing it now. Be ready from puck drop.

Gryz was dealing with "soreness" on Saturday IIRC. there's also this flu bug going around. I think Forbort over Gryz is b/c Gryz isn't 100% for some reason, not because Monty wants size or whatever shit people want to make up. We already heard Monty say Forbort was rusty after 1 practice so it seems like he probably would have stuck with Gryz if he was 100%.

Bussi? Is Swayman questionable now too?

 

[caz16]

Anyone know what kind of sickness is circulating through the team? Stomach bug? Covid? Flu? None are ideal. The timing is atrocious but better now than deeper in the playoffs I suppose.

Nothing stated but Lauko lost 8 pounds when he had it last week, so assuming stomach bug.

Bussi? Is Swayman questionable now too?

Sway was at optional skate today but was sick last week, maybe....maybe not? Depends how he feels I would think.

Your friendly reminder that “Wannab’s” is the dumbest nickname ever created to describe the Providence Bruins players.

KPD sucks ass.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Go Bruins, give it 100% 60 minutes (or longer if necessary).

To think some neutral fans claim this Bruins team has faced zero adversity this season, here is another chapter of it.

 

[DKH]

Bruins in 6 or less

 

[13Hockey]

Ty on 98.5 just said the guys have GI infections

Coming out of both ends

 

[WestCoastBruinsFan]

I really wasn't supposed to care this much this year.

I am very nervous. We must win.

 

[Dr Hook]

But it's oh so clever, you know.

Lauko lost 8 pounds because of the virus. Wow.

 

[13Hockey]

Ty said he thinks Ullmark starts

And there is some gamesmanship going on

 

[22Brad Park]

Let's go

 

[ProdigalFan]

I worried all season that an illness going through the room would throw the team into a losing streak and it didn't happen. Now I wish it had.
Whether it's noro, covid or the flu, it sounds like way more than a cold. And the fact that they're actually even talking about it (Lauko losing weight, etc.) And it's going to be an issue with players coming back without their wind and strength right into playoff style hockey, overtime, etc. Bumps and bruises you can play through, but this?

 

[BTO]

I’m strangely calm.

This team can score, they can prevent goals, they’re deep, they have goaltending, when things aren’t going their way they don’t panic but just stick with it until things do start going their way, and Pasta’s on one of his hot streaks where he hits the net repeatedly.

Playoffs aren’t going to be easy because there are some good teams - Toronto, Carolina, NJ, Col, Edm etc - but I don’t see anybody winning four games against us, least of all the Florida Panthers.

Go Bruins!!!!

Who says Gryz is out? Maybe it’s Clifton.

Biggest thing is wait till you got a big lead and then go get Tkachuk and run him - he’s going to try and get retaliatory penalty. I’m going to be watching him even away from puck - the guy plays like the kid in class who flips you in the back of the ear when the teacher writing on the blackboard

He does stuff just to be a prick - Monty needs to tell team to let go it’s his plan

I’m less concerned about Bergy and more on Ullmark
