Calm now but I’ll be nervous once I’m in the building

LFG!!!

Get the first and the cats will pack it in

Linus will lead us!

Should I sneak a cucumber into the garden?

 

[Oates2Neely]

Garden will be buzzing tonight!!

 

[Bmessy]

I'll be there. Might dawn the Savard jersey cause why not!!
Weather their forecheck and get in on their D, they'll eventually cave.

 

[JCRO]

Finish it up boys!!!

LFG B'S!!!

 

[Ned Bouhalassa]

Marchand on the 3rd line. Killer lineup! Let’s catch some panther meat for the sandwiches later…

 

[Ladyfan]

So, @NeelyDan will be there tonight. All of the folks who are at the game should say hi.

Please win tonight and do not get hurt.

Hey Steve, I hope the Bruins win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[hrdpuk]

Thanks Alicat

 

[KnightofBoston]

Bruins are taking this one, 5-1, goals from marchand, bergeron, pasta, bertuzzi, and zacha

1 goal for barkov, but too little too late.

 

[Ace0813]

I will be enjoying this one from my recliner at home after taking in G3 and G4 in Sunrise. I do miss the warm sun, however....

 

[Terrier]

Let's go B's!! Hold the fort unlike the 'Canes.

[PB37]

End it tonight, boys!

[bolt thrower]

Let's win this motherf***er and put an end to it.

 

[jgatie]

End it tonight, boys!

" They plunge the dagger thru their hearts and leave the cadaver on the table " - JE

Don't give him any ideas.

 

[ODAAT]

attack Ekblad and Gudas, no way Ekblad is 100% and Gudas? Well, he`s simply bad at hocky

 

[ProdigalFan]

Bruins have a history of dragging these series out, but hopefully with Bergy (maybe) back tonight and the depth of the lines, they get it done, unlike the Canes. Getting some rest before the next series would be invaluable.

 

[Boston BROin]

 

[Kate08]

Hey Bruins, if any of you watched the Celtics last night, please do the opposite of that.

Thanks in advance.

It doesn't match the Bruins' depth for me, but I am impressed by the Florida Panthers Forward Depth. Tkachuk is driving the Second Line with Bennett at the pivot, while Reinhart anchors the 3rd with two guys I like very much. It wouldn't matter if they didn't have Barkov and 45-goal scorer Verhagie on the first line. Impressed by the strength of this team and surprised they could not accomplish a bit more in the regular season.

 

[BruinsBtn]

I'd love to see some killer instinct here.

 

[Fenway]

Nice Meatloaf dinner at Kelly's in Somerville before going in

Big plus of the new Green Line extension

 

[missingchicklet]

Stay healthy and close this out. I see the stripes are the ultimate game management crew. That's fine. Score often and don't let the kitties get a chance to be in the game. Some extra rest and recovery time would be grand.

 

[Secord]

Relieved and happy to see JDB in (although I'll believe it when I see it) following the Bennett slam.

Things could get chippy early in this one.

I foresee Forbort and Orlov scoring from downtown.

Interesting - I haven’t been nearly as impressed.

Duclair - 0 points in 3G with a -6
Lomberg - 0 points with 18 PIMs
Lindell - 0 points in 15+ mins a night
Colin White - 1 point
Nick Cousins - 2 points

I’ve really only seen Tkachuk, Montour, and Bennett be impactful, and other than Game 2 Montour has been a negative for them.
