Bruins need to come-out with some urgency and play with a lot more passion than they did in game 3.

Cassidy says he plans on tinkering the line-up a bit. Well I hope so. You have to make adjustments in the playoffs, I dont care if its separating Marchand and Bergeron. He needs to do something. Marchy can play with anyone, maybe drop him down with Krejci and bring DeBrusk up with Bergy and Pasta and O- ya put Donato in the line-up and have the defense start and join the attach more often.

Give McAvoy the Green-light to join the attach when ever he feels fit and put him on the first PP unit in place of Krejci. The kid has lifted his play this series and can be a game changer if given the chance.

This game is the season. Lose tonight and the odds of winning 3 in a row against TB are close to nil. Some teams are not affected much be getting hit in the mouth. TB is not one of those teams. The Bs need to hit them in the mouth early and bring it hard. They also need to battle their asses off to own the area around the crease in both zones. They did not do that in game 3. Slinging weak shots from distance at the goalie with limited numbers of screens and nobody near the crease to get putbacks is a losing way to play. We have seen that the first line is awesome, but they cannot do everything, every game. Someone else absolutely needs to step up at some point and come up big. Tomorrow night would be a great time for such a thing to happen.

Maybe the officials will be on our side this time to help even the series...eh, probably not.

The Bruins need to win this game. Hopefully tonight we see that determination and resiliency that we witnessed during the regular season.

GO BRUINS!!!

I have a strange calm this morning as I sip on coffee #2. Why? I dunno, just feel our boys will come out tonight and treat those at the TD and on our couches to a terrific game. I have made the conscious decision to think only positive thoughts today and I believe I will be rewarded for it, one of those rewards is a convincing 4-1 Bruins win....enjoy the day:thumbu:

Well I’m personally nervous right now but that’s good because I was too calm the last two games. Time for me to tinker with my pregame rituals like Bruce with the lineup.

SKATE. I just want to see them skate them out of the Garden. Pressure on the forecheck, breakouts that are fast and efficient, generate speed in the neutral zone and run them into the ground!!!

I think tonight is the kids night. I think Donato draws in and scores, Charlie shines, Jake is a beast, and Tampa leaves wondering how the heck they can possibly deal with this team on Sunday!!!

C’mon, Boys!!!!

Hope your right friend, honestly it`d be about time both of Backes and Riley Nash show up too. Losses I can handle and even accept if done after the boys have busted their arses and left it all on the ice, can`t say they`ve done that over the last few games but this has been a team this year who, just when I thought they were primed for an extended down turn, showed pride, showed resilience, I believe we`ll see it tonight

All that work they did this season, all those comebacks, all those wins on the road on back to back nights, all that work for was for a game like this. You did the work, now put that work into action and tie this series and send it back to Tampa at 2-2. I have faith they can do it because we’ve see games like this all season.
