Pre-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 4 3:41 PM - An afternoon in the Everglades - NESN, TNT, SN1, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM - Bruins lead series 2-1

[Clode]

Played their best game of the series by far on Friday, carry it over tonight and lets head back home with our boots on their throats!

Pastrnak likes him some matinee games.

This season:
21 games 17g-10a-27p

Let's hope for a big game from him tomorrow.

EDIT: Both DeBrusk and McAvoy are just under a point per game in matinees.

Small, but interesting (to me, anyway) detail... while his overall numbers aren't as great as the others listed above, Garnet Hathaway has scored goals at a much higher rate (greater than 2.5 X) in matinees vs night games this season.

Matinee games: 0.313 goals per game (5 in 16)
Night games: 0.118 g/g

It’s a tough ask to win multiple games (and in a row) without your 1-2 C punch

Well we've all raved about their depth all season, so if we really belive in their depth then we should expect a win

 

[weaponomega]

I'm expecting a desperate panther team that will come out firing. They don't want go back to Boston down 3-1. Hopefully the Bs are ready.

 

[Cold Soup]

PPS: I switched from my Patrice Bergeron 2011 jersey to my Bobby Orr jersey Friday night. Probably had zero influence on the outcome of the game, but thought I'd share that little tidbit all the same.

It’s only weird if …….

The misses invited friends for supper. I was going to eat in front of the tv. Is it rude if I still do that?

Anything on lines/goalie?

We had our friends over for dinner Friday and I had the game on during. Had to lean back pretty far from from my spot at the table to see the TV but no one was offended lol.

 

[Mione134]

Wow.

Regular season finale tonight for men’s league.

1 point up on the 2nd place team in the standings who we play tonight.

We’ll be resting at least a couple of regulars for the playoffs!

I may have to watch the 3rd period of the B’s on DVR.

Rub little Jake's head for good luck for your game and the Bruins!

LFG! Clobber em!

Jaffe and Razor said yesterday on the podcast that they expect Bob in net for FL, and that him coming into the last game wasn't unexpected. They said it was really important that Foligno had scored on him quickly going forward into this game.

They also said there is no reason at all that Friday's effort from the Bruins can't be repeatable today and going forward. Basically, they've finally come around to playing "playoff" hockey.

Florida didn't play as physical in Game 3 as in the first two games. Maybe they were a bit overconfident that the B's were intimidated? Or maybe because the B's came out and set the physical tone in the game. Either way, I expect a really physical response (again) from FL and the B's better match it. Bruins need to score the first goal again.

Razor said something funny about Pasta from a goalie's perspective. He said Pasta reminds him of the velociraptors in Jurassic Park, testing the fences for weaknesses. He says Pasta tries that with shooting at different spots on goalies to discover what works.

Game’s at 3:30. Maybe you could sit at the table during 2nd intermission.

 

[Ladyfan]

This is a biggie today. Take this one and the Cats are done.

I would love to see handshakes at the next home game!

All things considered it is NOT rude

 

[The don godfather]

Layers and layers more with using the boards as your friends to get the puck out. No passes in the middle in our zone unless it's clear as day. Block shots from points at all times and disrupt them from entering zone from active sticks. They did that perfectly last game and must do the same. No air for cats in our zone and keep shot low for the swedish cookie monster or the Alaskan cool crab. Let's go!!!

No. Your house. Your rules.

I switch gum pieces if they get scored on. Excel should have me as a spokesperson at this point

 

[rfournier103]

Go on…

 

[RoccoF14]

Florida is gonna come out with a strong push in the first period and I'm expecting them to forecheck like demons.

If we manage the puck like we did in Game 3 and avoid the stupid turnovers and penalties, we'll weather the storm and our depth will be decisive.

Blanket them and counter.

Huge game. A 3-1 lead will make me sleep well and have a decent start to my week.

They can win.

But you surely know it’s a totally different lineup then?

The league runs through the middle and Bergeron is the heart and soul of this team

 

[Boston BROin]

With the amount of sickness and injury this team is going through right now, how huge would it be to end this series in 5 games. The other east series are absolute wars, and I hope they all go 7. Give everyone a chance to recover

Its making the team stronger. Were playing without our top 2 centers. I love this team.

 

[PB37]

Cats will have their claws back out.

Bruins will have to be sharp and be ready to establish the physical tone right away again. This is a big swing game in this series.

Not at all. Just put out napkins/placemats on coffee tables/end tables near the TV ahead of time so it’s assumed that everyone is welcome to eat/watch.
