Pissed off Coyle is the best Coyle. I hope someone runs Nash through the boards tonight.

Joannette and Peel- comedy reffing at it's best, when the B's aren't involved. Get ready for one ref to call an infraction down at the other end of the ice while the ref next to the infraction let's it go. Mass confusion will be written on players' faces of both teams tonight as they try to figure out what they can and can't get away with.

 

[Hamilton Brian]

Is there an event there this afternoon? 8pm start feels weird.

NBC likes the late start is my guess

Oli has been very busy....shred the Blue Jackets, silence the cannon.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Columbus will be ready for this one . Maybe their goalie will be a little off ? Isn’t there usually an expiration date for a goalie like that ? I am working 3-11 so will watch some of the game on my tablet at work and then finish off when I get home at 11 . Enjoy the game everybody. Bruins win 4-2 and Pasta wakes up with a one timer on the power play .

Probably because they have no night game on tonight, so they made it later. I hate that they have matinee games during the playoffs. If you are a diehard follower of the NHL playoffs, you either have to record the afternoon games and hope no one mentions the score when you are out and about during the day, or you have to miss it. Even if I recorded the Blues/Stars to watch later, they will of course tell us the score and details of that game during the Bruins game tonight. There goes the weekends during the playoffs!

Too cute! That a boy, Oli!

SNL is a rerun tonight so they don't have to worry about OT - Game 5 next Saturday will be at 7:15 PM after the Kentucky Derby

NBC calls all the shots now with no Canadian teams left

was suppose to finish my last shift at the restaurant today and have my first one in my new gig at the Golf Course but the GC said they scheduled too many on and asked if I had any issues missing tonight`s event and working tomorrow`s........umm, no, no issues at all

 

[sooshii]

Took a look around the HF Boards league to see how other teams’ GDTs stack up. Pffffft! Ali’s is run-away winner. Thanks!

And let’s go Bruins! Getting a 2-0 lead would be huge.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Pissed off Coyle is the best Coyle. I hope someone runs Nash through the boards tonight.

Mike Milbury (the player) mentality.

Hit all the time, even boarder line dirty. But then get pissed when you get hit.

 

[rfournier103]

I thought the 8pm start was for HNIC?

 

[Maine Fan]

Pissed off Coyle is the best Coyle. I hope someone runs Nash through the boards tonight.

Agree, like, tonight is the night for your wish.

 

[Bizarro Bandwagoner]

Hoping Krejci can go but with the 2 off days after this, maybe they'll just play it safe with the 1-0 lead. Will be interesting to see how this one starts now that the Jackets have shaken the rust off. Would be great if Pastrnak would stop throwing the puck away to random places and looked more like himself.

That will be a terrific day Bruins following the Derby. It's a TV day. However, it is game 5 and I am hoping for a sweep, so just the derby.

 

[TP]

I'm scared!

 

[Maine Fan]

Here we are at game 2, up by 1, Tort is beside himself. He knows they need to win this game. CBJs will be ready for a battle. Bruins will be ready for a battle.
Bruins win the war because tonight is Pastrnak Night.

Go Bruins be tough

 

[rfournier103]

Any word about @RedeyeRocketeer and his lucky socks?

 

[DarrenBanks56]

if krejci sits ill be worried about the injury. i think he plays andi think pasta will be back on line 1.

 

[rfournier103]

I’d rest Krejci. A little break now could benefit in the longer term. If the Bruins were facing elimination, that would be a different story.

 

[Maine Fan]

Alicat, having been a NJ Devils follower, I never got to read the type of GDTs you prepare. I like them very much, thank you for your time and effort.

Go Bruins a must win don't give Torts a gift.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

I’d rest Krejci. A little break now could benefit in the longer term. If the Bruins were facing elimination, that would be a different story.

i wouldnt. being up 2-0 is huuuge.
i would play him if he wants to go.

if he was really getting ready to play in overtime the other day i dont think its that bad.
