Pre-Game Talk: ECSF/ADF GAME 4 7:41 PM - B's look to even the series at 2 apiece - NBCSN, CBC, SN(4K), TVAS, 98.5

[Emerz]

Dude, he literally gave the stats that prove they are overperforming.

It's okay he can live in a fantasy land where it's normal for his whole team to be blasting their career average shooting %'s out of the water and Bob is posting near a .940. Very clearly the Blue Jackets have been "unlucky" lmfao.

Just as a future warning, feel free to come in and discuss things respectfully if you wish to post here as an outside fan, if you're just going to be stirring up controversy you will be infracted.

Backes was a terrible matchup against the Leafs. The whole team came out on fire in game 2.

He couldn't keep up and couldn't start the forecheck whatsoever.

He's much better suited to the CBJ style of game.

Well, his forechecking and puck pursuit led to the first goal.

 

[PatriceBergeron]

Would feel a lot better if Kuhlman was on the 3rd line and Backes was in for one of Nordstrom/Acciari.

Feels like the top 6 problem just got bigger

 

[GoBs]

Well, his forechecking and puck pursuit led to the first goal.

 

[GoBs]

I thought Backes was good against the leafs, did what was asked of him
Hope he will do the same tonight
One skips off him in the jackets net

 

[rocketdan9]

1st line must do something tonight

This label of best line in hockey or perfection line.... can only be tied to the regular season at this rate

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

I'm not even a little bit worried.

In game 2, I missed the second period where it fall fell to pieces. The SOCKS missed the period.

I missed all of game 3, the socks missed game 3.


Tonight I will watch the whole game, my wife is out, only an act of god can stop me. It's happening. Bruins win.

Unbeatable at this point.

 

[FONZIE]

Win this series because Riley Nash!
Win the ECF because Dougie Hamilton!
Win the SCF because Joe Thornton!

 

[nORRis8]

I believe that the key is to have Tortorella upset. Boston needs to get a couple of quick goals and then things will change.

Tortorella wil become upset and this will travel through the entire team. He can become very aggitated and do unconventional things.

I hope that the Bruins can turn this around.

Buy Larry Brooks a ticket right behind the CBJ bench.
Torts would friggin' flip.

Big names better show up or it's all pointless anyway.

Let's do it boys

Big names now or 2015?

The core outside Chara is still young enough to compete. Bergeron isn't past his prime in my opinion. He might be playing like it right now but I don't think it's his age that's the problem. Pasta isn't even in his prime yet.

 

[BMC]

Backes puts the fear into nobody, he can possibly however plant himself in front of Bob to create problems

This is what I'm looking for Backes to do- create space for his linemates and raise hell in front of the net. Anything extra he does will be gravy.

 

[TP]

I am not sure if I am getting badly sick or stressed the f*** out so badly, I am making myself sick.

Whichever it is. f***ING WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

And you're wearing the socks, right?

 

[Thirty Seven]

Hopefully the guys have some puck luck this game and it brings back their confidence!

 

[xjoeyc23x]

Backes in hopefully will bring a leadership Boost to the B's and a physical boost as well. I'm looking to him to be a factor in the offensive zone under the goal line with his boards play and a big body in front of the net for screens and tips from the defense. I'd rather have a fresh Backes in the lineup right now with his leadership and energy more than a few Bruins right now....

If you ever have to miss a game again, I want you to steal a mannequin from Target, put those socks on it's feet, and park it's ass in front of the TV!

I was taking a dig at Backes.

 

[Roll 4 Lines]

Backes is the new Recchi !

 

[Prince Pasta]

Backes is the new Recchi !

you mean the new Thornton!

 

[Prince Pasta]

today the day, better show up to play. well see what happens, but I expect better execution with the backs up against the wall. That being said, goalie bob is in Tim Thomas mode right now.

 

[rocketdan9]

Anderson is being very effective.

Chara needs to bulldoze him like this

 

[HumBucker]

Well, if nothing else, at least we know Backes will be motivated to make an impact.
