Pre-Game Talk: EDF Game 1 - Fishsticks at BRUINS - Saturday 5/29 8:20 PM - NBC, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[Dennis Bonvie]

Is that what I said? Why are you the way you are?

Just bad luck I guess.

 

[The National]

Not sure I buy this completely, but the stat geeks like the Bruins in this series.

A lot.

That worries me, I hate Bruins being favored.

 

[Barnum]

I must have been in the small majority,I actually liked the Cooperalls ,Junior players all had them for a season ,did they do away with them because of the looks or players just didn’t like them.

When they came out in the 80’s we all wanted them, don’t be fooled by the comments in the now. It’s just in retrospect they were and are fugly but at the time...they were the new bright shiny object. I did wear them for roller hockey because it helped slide on the tiles instead of abrupt stopping but I never wore them on the ice.

It worked out fine

I wore them for inline too, a newer version of them but same idea, they were awesome.

Going tomorrow night!

Also going to the Sox game Sunday in a box with an open bar.

Really coming out of quarantine with a bang.

thoughts and prayers to my liver.

I too will be at both Bruins(Saturday)and Sox (Sunday), but will be my third hockey and third baseball game “post-COVID”, but first of both with nearly full capacity

EAT in 7
Won’t come easy, but will prevail

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

I didn’t live through this so I can’t get over the Cooperalls, who allowed this to happen?

It’s like inline or pond hockey lol.

I did.

No one ever got comfortable with it.

Vegas opened us at -215, more than a 2 to 1
Favorite so not that far off. He explains it in the piece very well too.

Bruins have proven high end talent in Marchand, Pasta, Bergeron, Hall, McAvoy and Tuukka.

Isles have.....? Barry Trotz

Yeah, a newer version made for roller puck. Mission had a factory on Vachon Island, so stuff was cheap and a available in the late 90s. Their pants were the only thing I used of theirs because I never liked anything else they had.

Basically yeah, they have some good talent just not much high end. Barzal has high end talent if he’s playing his game, but yeah mostly good to average talent that Trotz gets the most out of.

Yup Mission was what I used too, everything else was pretty bad, some of the ugliest gear you can find.

The Cooperalls

Trotz lived in my town when he was coaching the Portland Pirates. Saw him in Hannaford's often and when he walked down the aisle his squat broad shoulders literally took up the whole aisle. Always had that look on his face though and I never asked him to move.

3 days in a row Miller has been working out at the gym

good sign

I’m guessing he’s back by game 3

Can’t keep this guy outta the gym.

 

[Maine Fan]

the game is and always has been simple.
The execution is what makes it hard.

Real good point, thanks

 

[veganbruin]

Should be our 3C.

 

[ODAAT]

Some idiot who knew nothing about hockey I'm sure. They were awful. If I was a player I would have been embarassed to wear them.

honestly the hype over them got to the point that it was embarrassing if you weren`t wearing them, my dad thought they were a disgrace and I wound up being one of if not the last on my team to wear them

 

[Memokerobi]

The only guy that scares me

 

[goldnblack]

Fishy fishyyyyyyyy

 

[The National]

The only guy that scares me

Palmeiri and Barzal scare me a bit, but not like JPG. Bad matchup for our 3rd line, depending on which version of it we see.
