Krejci - out
Carlo - out
Krug - out
McQuaid - out
Miller - out

*possibly, probably, forsure* ???

Ouch!!!

 

[PacificNWBruin]

Glad to have atleast Noel back. We really need Krejci, Krug, Carlo and McQuaid.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

They playing with 5 Defenceman ,no call ups?

 

[DitClapper]

Let's go.

 

[TMac21]

Keep scrapping along guys. Think we'll win this one.

 

[GoBs]

Tommy Cross should get a shot

 

[Southiechickie]

Tommy Cross should get a shot

I think everyone on these boards would agree with you. My brother in-law is a season ticket holder to the PBruins, says the guy works hard, natural leader and is a class act. Deserves a shot!!

 

[Hamilton Brian]

#22ST is in Boston for the Marathon. Think he shows up to TD Garden? Could he get into the dressing room and help fire up the guys with some war stories?

 

[gvkmedia]

If the Bruins need a 10th defenseman, my vote is for Cross as well.

And I've never seen him play.

 

[Hali33]

Set the tone at puck drop, kill Ottawa's momentum off the bat.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

I'd like to see:
IN - Acciari and Cehlarik
OUT - Beleskey and Kuraly

And without a callup on D, gotta think either McQuaid or (more likely) C. Miller will be good to go.

 

[Boston Bruno]

Too many injuries.

 

[Fenway]

Tim Pell is one of the refs tomorrow night

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Dear Bruins:

STOP flipping the puck over the glass and getting automatic Delay of Game penalties....

an aggravated fanbase

Pffffffff, sign him and put him in Belesky's place.

Had this real bad feeling hit me when the Habs won last night. On the brink of being down 0-2 heading to NYC, and now they're up 2-1.

Then an even worse feeling hit me. This is looking like 1993 all over again. All the elite teams have a chance to be knocked out by someone else. The bracket for the Habs to make it to the finals could be the easiest in decades. Making me feel a little sick...

Who knows what the hockey gods are planning.

But can you imagine Nashville winning the Cup at Centre Bell with PK scoring the goal in OT? Île de Montréal would pull up anchor and sail up the Fleuve Saint-Laurent and out to sea and never be heard from again

Yeah actually that would be something.

Living in Canada, Edmonton-Montreal finals would be like taking the Super Bowl and saying "now let's make it bigger". It would be so crazy up here for that. East vs West, two old hockey powers and one guaranteed to end their drought. As huge as it would be, again would make me sick

Anyway one step at a time I guess. Rask has to steal one today, I think that much is clear. We need him to just be a wall until maybe we get some injury relief.

Injury thread says Chiller is a go?

Well, thats an L then. He ****ing hates us

The first round has had some surprises so far.

NOBODY could have seen St. Louis being up 3-0 over the Wild. Nashville winning 2 in Chicago was shocking especially the blowout in Game 2. Washington has reason to worry as they are lucky they are 1-1.

Pittsburgh being up 3-0 over Columbus is a little surprising but not shocking either. Montreal being up on NYR is not surprising either and I do feel that the Bruins will be meeting Poutineville in Round 2 - but let's just worry about Ottawa right now.

 

[ashnathan]

I really want someone to go after Karlsson, make him earn it, slow him down. You can't stop him, but if you hit him so much hes gotta take shorter shifts then do it. Acciari n the forecheck will help that I hope. Man Im so nervous about the game, I feel like this is a must win game. I dont know how confident I am with this team playing from behind against a team like Ottawa and a goalie like Anderson. He can look bad, but wen he is on hes like Price, you aint getting nothing past him.

 

[Kate08]

Please win.

 

[Fenway]

Please win.

Good Luck Kate today

If they play like it's the 2nd period of game 2, it's all but in the bag.
