GDT: ECSF GAME 3 7:11 PM - Florida Panthers @ BOSTON BRUINS - TNT, MAX, CBC, SN, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM, 560 WQAM-AM - Series tied 1-1

[Ghost of Murph]

So I guess suspect some power plays early for the refs to show they have control over the game.

Definitely. O'Rourke is a good ref so I'm glad he's doing tonight's game. St. Laurent on the other hand -- wouldn't trust him to officiate a shotgun wedding at a truck stop. Will be interesting.

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Murphy calling for violence on Tkachuck. I see how this will go! Boston is going to have someone like Maroon drop the gloves,Boston fans will call out Tkachuck for not fighting, but it isn't worth it for Fla to lose 5 min of a top 6 player in a game early.


Maroon sitting makes actually makes Boston better.

Maroon is not going to try to fight Tkachuck.

 

[Banjo Cat]

You just gotta sweep the leg so they can’t fight back.

I think the series could be just as fun and interesting to watch if instead of getting drawn into their physical game, guys like Marchand just play more of a trolling one. I know Bruins fans believe in answering the bell. Complete respect for that. But if you don't win it just makes your players more pissed off. Marchand should be pissing them off and not giving them a chance to take out their frustration on him.

Marchand has been locked in all playoffs. There's been almost no talk at all toward anyone but his teammates.

Certainly could have chirped after this one but he was all business.

Marchand has been locked in all playoffs.

That was a good one.
And Chukky took the hit, bounced back up and just kept playing.
Which is how tonight will go, as long as score is close.
This should be a good game.

Edit; so the refs main job tonight will be to try everything possible to keep the score close

 

[Mathews28]

just do this 11 times

That guy…not alive?

I mean they're going to call what they call but it's a shame that it's even an issue. I don't think anyone had a problem with how the first two games have gone even with plenty of questionable non calls.

Yea, thought the first two games were called very fair. Rare comment this time of year from both fan bases.

Feel like it is jinxed now and one of the fan bases will be upset tonight.

 

[Banjo Cat]

Cmon game hurry up.

I think good penalty killing also made it easier to swallow bad and missed calls too.

 

[Crow]

Any injuries to be aware of tonight? I looked at the OP for that.

 

[BB79]

Cmon game hurry up.

At least it's a normal start time and not one of those weird 8pm games

I'm in east coast Canada, so it is 8pm for me. But yeah, that's the normal time for me. I don't like those 9pm ones.

Actually Maurice said there's a good chance Bennett plays.

[Junohockeyfan]

I think Florida found the cheat code to beating the Bruins. Just goon it up as the Broons are soft.

who is in net for Boston?

Swayman took all the work during warmups.

 

[Banjo Cat]

I'm shippin up to Boston!

Let's go, Beantown!

 

[CaptainUgly]

Tkachuk is awesome. Give me FLA tonight in OT

 

[Summer Rose]

Tkachuk is awesome. Give me FLA tonight in OT

Give me Florida in regulation!
