lol

Dan is why I gave up road rage in the 80’s ….i don’t need to see this coming at me holding a wooden Northland

I storm right up and wrap my arms around the big lug. Hold on tight for five seconds so he knows I mean it. He’d melt like sweet butter!

 

[JOKER 192]

I see no reason why the B's can't compete with the Panthers. It's basically the same team that took them to game 7 OT.

Only Krejci and Bergy missing who were not healthy enough to be help anyway.

All the pressure is on the Panthers.

B's won every game this season.

Only thing I'm concerned about is Monty.

 

[22Brad Park]

Dude is picking up some confidence...What are you thoughts on him running a PP. Can't be any worse over the others.

Let Lohrei run it be my plan.Might be bit early who knows, but that kid is meant for it sooner or later

 

[Boston Bandit]

It is not a matter of rest. Swayman is young and could play the rest of the games through the playoffs just like all the other starting NHL goaltenders.

But we have two Number 1’s so….

 

[JCRO]

Let Lohrei run it be my plan.Might be bit early who knows, but that kid is meant for it sooner or later

It might be early but I say do it. He’s playing with some serious confidence when has the puck. The way he’s able to walk the blue line and even lead rushes into the zone- I want it on the PP.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Man I never even got a rest .

Can you imagine how the Bruins are feeling?

They don't have any time to rest or enjoy the round one victory, and get right back on the plane to Florida

..maybe that's to their advantage for game one

He is a special player for sure.I don't see any other Bruin d man outside maybe Shattenkirk with the offensive mind to QB it .I would at very least try it because Lohrei will shoot it and he is good at funneling pucks through. He can sell shot and pass too.

Don’t allow Mikkola rough our guys like Gudas did last year. Maroon has to step in there in game one and set the tone that crap will not be tolerated. I watched all the Florida vs Tampa games and Mikkola was that guy you hate very quickly.

 

[JOKER 192]

I see a time for Ullmark in this series.

Tonight I ride the hot hand.

 

[BTO]

I’ll take Zacha & Coyle in games 3 & 4 at Florida last April

Might have been the best games they ever played as Bruins (or at all).

Yea he is chippy and has size .Blues messed up.

 

[whatsbruin]

I'll take any that are in hell too!!!

Alberta Bruin, Old man John, Steve, many, many more. Not saying these are the ones in Hell. Saying these are Bruins Fans/posters, not with us anymore. RIP

 

[BTO]

All I know is remember what happened in 2011 against the flyers after what happened in 2010 against the flyers? Not suggesting we sweep them or anything, or even that history actually has any real relevance, but I see no real reason why we can’t win. We have better goaltending this year (both of them) than we did in the playoffs last year what with Ullmark’s “ailment” and so far Florida’s has been worse. So ya never know. Go Bruins!!!!

 

[22Brad Park]

Ullmark vs Florida this season ( healthy this time) 3-0 & .947 sv %

 

[Sheppy]

I have a feeling we see Ullmark tonight and I don't hate it.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Love seeing us counted out, same thing happened in 2013 and 2019. All 4 teams left in the East are great but we’re capable of winning against any of them. Underdogs for sure but I think they thrive on it.

Coyle and Zacha need to get going. Would be great to see Pasta pick up where he left off, too. I keep riding Swayman until he has a bad game. Don’t think he needs the rest and Linus is there whenever we need him.

Pavel and CC really need to step up their game if the B's want to win this series

The Bruins basically beat Toronto without them contributing, but that's not gonna happen against Florida

They HAVE TO show up and play their asses off........starting tonight

 

[22Brad Park]

I have a feeling we see Ullmark tonight and I don't hate it.

That's the way I would go .Find out soon.

 

[ranold26]

I wouldn't be opposed to giving Ullmark the start and possibly riding him, if he wins games in this series. Ullmark likely wants redemption and it gives Sway a bit of rest.

 

[LouJersey]

The NHL must allow physicality. Not quite as out of control as Florida was last season but no more of this lecturing Bruins players every scrum nonsense. Maroon will fit right in this series.

would be nice if Maroon can get a couple of their better guys off the ice on 10 min misconducts

B's lines and D pairings per NESN:

BradMarchand–Charlie Coyle–Jake DeBrusk
Pavel Zacha–Morgan Geekie–David Pastrnak
James van Riemsdyk–Trent Frederic–Justin Brazeau
John Beecher–Patrick Brown–Pat Maroon

Mason Lohrei–Charlie McAvoy
Hampus Lindholm–Brandon Carlo
Parker Wotherspoon–Kevin Shattenkirk

Hmmm...
Zacha to the wing with Geekie centering?
Patrick Brown replaces Boqvist as the 4th line center?

Little did Florida know what was in store for them....

Monty is a meddling madman!

Meddling madman is right, I still want him shot into the sun on fire for those game 5 roster changes after they won games 3 & 4 in Toronto.

That’s a pretty heavy lineup.
