What a great day to be in Boston! (wish I were)

Happy Patriots Day, all!
Happy Race Day, Katie!

Here we go s, Here we go!

P.S. Mods: how many games did Everett Mike get?

 

[Over the volcano]

Need some huge, clean hits tonight.

i hope they murder them from the drop of the puck

Clarke MacArthur or Burrows have earned a hit like this

I tell ya, for a guy who missed the most part of the last two years to hit a player from behind (escapes me which Bruin it was, Morrow?) who`s numbers couldn`t have been staring him in the eyes any clearer made me sick to my stomach.

Man I miss Johnny B ,Bruins were never the same after they traded him.But yeah don't like that contract he got.

 

[Cronuss]

I actually feel pretty optimistic. Not only about this game, but this series.

Going in, I did not. But we've already seen signs of the Bruins being able to break through the trap pretty consistently.

I also believe the Bruins are the better team in general.

 

[NDiesel]

If Boston and Montreal win there is a great chance I'm going to watch my first ever Bruins game next round. So PLEASE win this for me boys

Sorry but I can't cheer for Montreal ever,well unless there playing the Leafs that is.

Not only that, but chasing Morrow down the ice slashing him in the legs trying to get him to engage, and then dropping like he was shot to try and get a call. I thought that was ridiculous...

Hey I may come down to Boston even if the Habs don't win, but it's all but guaranteed that myself and my friend who is a Habs fans are going to catch a game if they play each other.

 

[Greek_physique]

Let's hope we get some good news...we need DK.

 

[TMac21]

Krejci taking line rushes with Stafford and Backes...good sign there.

 

[NDiesel]

Two lefties called up...so who's sitting out of Morrow/Liles?

 

[Boston BROin]

I was hoping that the Bruins were just being coy about who is playing and who isn't tonight, but with the two call ups, it seems that we won't be seeing Carlo and McQuaid. Krug was never an option, and I think that Miller might be able to go tonight.

In the back of my mind I really hoped that we'd see Carlo and Krejci back tonight.

Anyway, today has always been one of the best days of the year in Boston. Roof drinking on Boylston and a quick BBQ before the Bruins game sounds amazing. Instead I'll be in my office counting down the hours until I can go home and get ready for puck drop.

 

[Tampbear]

Two lefties called up...so who's sitting out of Morrow/Liles?

I think for one thing they really only have lefties to call up, I wouldn't expect both to play necessarily either.

 

[DKH]

Tommy Cross & Grzelcyk up? Did they drive or did Tommy Cross duck into a Starbucks bathroom (no more phone booths) don a cape grab Grizz and fly up at the speed of sound

 

[amazingcrwns]

Two lefties called up...so who's sitting out of Morrow/Liles?

Liles has shown in the past that he can play on the right side.

Chara-McAvoy
Morrow-Miller
Cross-Liles

Use Liles - Miller for some shifts as well to keep Cross and Morrows minutes down a bit.

 

[Ladyfan]

First of all GOOD LUCK TO OUR KATE !!!!


I really wish some of the dman would return.

This will be difficult

 

[Greek_physique]

Did Cassidy coach both players in Providence before...if so, did he like one over the other more?

He made Cross captain

 

[NDiesel]

Lines at the skate according to Left Wing Lock:

Marchand-Bergy-Pasta
Stafford-Krejci-Backes
Schaller-Spooner-Vatrano
Moore-Nash-Acciari

Chara-McAvoy
Morrow-K. Miller
Liles-Cross

 

[Greek_physique]

That 3rd line is still so bad...

Wish we could see Pasta | Krejci and Spooner | Backes.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Doesn't look like either are sitting from the morning skate.

Am I to assume DK is back tonight? That would be huge, if only form a match-up perspective.

Big if true because those D pairings are absolutely horrendous. Holy hell, I hope that Rask is ready to play tonight.
