Wonder if Florida comes out throwing the bodies around again. They seemed to wear down as the game went on last time.

Yeah not sure that’s the best strategy. We seemed to get better as game went on. Florida might have no other choice. Only way they beat us.

 

[Ladyfan]

Please win with no injuries.

I will be missing my sis (@GahdenRinkRat ) tonight as she is sick.

Hey Steve, I hope the Bruins win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[Gee Wally]

Thanks Mike.

Thanks Mark.


Unfortunately still dealing with real world stuff so was offline awhile.


Folks - please. We are hoping for a long run here. Along with that we would like everyone here to be part of playoffs.

’ You’ gotta get off each others backs. I dont know how else to say it.

still applies.

4th line needs to come out and hit everything in sight. I felt they weren't at the top of their game in game 1.

Excellent point. FLA has to know that their best chance to beat the Bs is to pound on them and maybe hurt a player or two. Bs need to be the hammer before they are the nail. 4th line definitely needs to come out aggressive and set a tone.

Yep, I’m all for them to be taking healthy runs. Especially if matched up briefly against Floridas top lines.

 

[NeelyDan]

Be an excellent time for Hathaway to start Hathaway-ing, in a non-bonehead way of course.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Well, no Bergy, as expected and no lineup changes, as expected. I doubt seriously Monty changes anything schematically. Same players and same scheme means same style of game unfortunately. We also get the bonus of the incompetent and flat awful Dwyer tonight...Goodie goodie. The game will get out of control. There will be missing teeth, fights and injuries due to him. Some like that, I usually do not. I hope Ullmark, depth and better health, help us prevail. Dwyer sucks.

Florida tried game 1. Bruins need to match it.

Love to hear that. The players can leave the overconfidence up to fans like myself. My overconfidence is made possible by the knowledge that the players are not overconfident. Their heads are screwed on right this season, that's for sure.

 

[PB37]

I want to see McAvoy nail Verhegee for that hit from behind that went uncalled the other night.

 

[quietbruinfan]

With the abysmal Dwyer doing the game, I agree.

I have as much love for Dwyer as Leafs fans have for McCauley. Given the Bs outstanding team, they were 3-1-1 this season with Dwyer, and 1-3 last season. What are the odds? He also has been pure trash for the Bs in the post-season. Bs have to win despite this clown when they do get a W.

Bs haven't fared a lot better with McIssac either. 3-2-1 this season, and 3-2 last season.

Just brought out an extra roll of Tums. Could be one of those nights with these two goofs in charge.

Whereas ours are clearly not! !!!

 

[Mione134]

No excuses not to win tonight. We won the other game without playing our best. Time to put or best foot forward tonight. No Bergy? No problem. Next man up. This team plays for eachother, and they've given us no indication tonight's any different. Give it your all. Be physical. Be smart. Don't get goaded into anything. But do not be pushed around. Pass with a purpose. Take it to the net. Be strong on the boards. Take care of the puck. Protect your goalie. Shoot often. Good things happen when you do. This is OUR house. So you better be ready from the jump to defend it. Win it for Bergy. Win it for the Spoken B on your chest. Its not about the name on the back. The Bruins got this. Believe!



You ALREADY know the drill!

McIssac is so-so. I am pretty sure he will defer to Dwyer. That is not good news. The results are pretty much what I expected. Thank you for looking them up.

Would be awesome. He needs to take Bob Barker's advice and neuter the cats.

[Trizz617]

Gotta continue to hold serve tonight at home. Obviously, more favorable to be up 2 love going into the swamp. Play hard and just win this, baby!
