Pre-Game Talk: EDF Game 3 6/3 7:40 PM - THE BEAR heads to Uniondale - NBCSN, CBC, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[BMC]

I would say the season for Coyle in entirety has been poor, especially for a guy who has a decent cap hit and only puts in 6 goals in 51 games...
Sounds like Smith coming back for Game 3 so it's all good

Welcome to the board!

 

[Bruinaura]

@Fenway are they waiting for you to hitch a ride? lol

 

[bruins19]

Great news.

 

[Mione134]

Smitty getting back in there is huge

 

[CAW1313]

Clutterbuck is very good at getting in his sneaky hits and cheap shots and not answering for them - he has it down to an art form. I don't think Miller changes that. Would love to see him in the team ASAP, but I don't think it will make any difference to how Cal plays. He'll slip out of any trouble as usual.

Clutterbuck is a bitch!

Nah, if the Bruins take a ship they'll go first class

 

[Wiggleboom]

So I got one of those Tim Horton's Superstar Collectable Sticks, Bergeron of course (I told the cashier "#37, Patrice Bergeron" and she brings me a Hellebuyck one at first. Guess that means a Boston-Winnipeg Final!)

Tim Hortons

So I brought it home and set it down, unopened, and Boston proceeded to win 5 games in a row (I wasn't touching it). But then I accidentally knocked it the other day and it moved, and then Boston proceeded to lose Game 2. Rest assured that it's now back in its designated place. If they lose again I'll mobilize the big guns and actually open it!

Go Bruins!!

I got one of those too but I opened mine. Couldn't resist!

First mate Chucky: "Uniondale dead ahead sir"

Cap'n Bergeron: "Very good. Steady lads, this one's cunning."

Boatswain Marchand: "Like a rat, sir?"

Cap'n: "More like a fox. Not Adam though, he's over on Manhattan being pursued by that weird bloke who stands between the benches."

Lt. Pastrnak: "Sir, they're firing at us!"

Cap'n: "With what?"

Lt. Pastrnak: "Ahhh...fish sticks cap'n!"

Cap'n: "Bastards! Prepare to reply"

Lt. Pastrnak: "Aye sir, but we're closing fast, we only have 2 minutes!"

Cap'n: "Nick, Nicko, Thiccy, get out of that damn box and come here. Prepare the cannons!"

Gunner's mate Ritchie: *stares blankly at the captain, then at the guns, then the ammo store, then back at the captain...suddenly his face lights up* "On it sir!"

Cap'n: "And Rask, keep a firm hold of that wheel. Nothing gets past us, got it?"

Pilot Rask: "I stop pucks, not sticks or boats."

Cap'n: "Well not today, improvise."

Rask: "Like a 10 minute Lars Ulrich drum solo?"

Cap'n: "Ahhh, sure, whatever works for you."

Ensign Jake: "Sir, that Barzal guy over there just mooned me, shouted something about their boat draft being deeper than ours??"

Cap'n Bergeron: "Ignore him lad, we'll still sort them out. I have Commander Sweeney's cunning plan right here in my back pocket. We can't fail!"

Gunner Cliffy 'cannon ball': "We're in range now sir? Can we fire, can we, can we, can we sir?"

Cap'n: Almost, wait for it! Where's Master Bjork with the signal flags?"

Boatswain Marchand: "Not here sir, Commodore Cassidy made him sit down and think long and hard about his actions, then Don threw him overboard."

"Cap'n: Alright....ahhh....hey Lt. Krejci, put that damn samurai sword away, this is not the time! Marchand, bring up Mr Hall instead."

Marchand: "On it sir...here he comes!"

Cap'n: "Ok, we're set now. Mr Hall will lead the 2nd assault, after me. Ready men - Rask, hard'a' starboard...gunners ready...on my command....LET FLY!!"

FIRE!!

Cap'n: "Direct hit, good work lads, now, prepare to board! Time to storm Uniondale!"

Second mate Smitty: "I've been hit sir, some damn clusterf*** wacked me from behind."

Cap'n: "Attend to him nurse Miller, we must push on."

Nurse Miller: "Actually sir...I'm very experienced with these things...he's all patched up. Look, Smitty's feeling better already!"

Cap'n: Hazzah!! Well then, on we go. ATTACK!!

And on the Bruins went to glory in the Battle of Long Island.

........ Are you bored? lol

........ Are you bored? lol

I'm in pandemic lockdown...so yes, yes I am!

 

[Bruinaura]

I'm in pandemic lockdown...so yes, yes I am!

Ooooh... Sorry.

I look forward to chapter 2!

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Ooooh... Sorry.

I look forward to chapter 2!

All good. Fortunately in my particular part of my state it ends tomorrow, for now at least. So it's not so bad.

And who knows...perhaps there will be more exciting adventures to come aboard the USS Bruins!

 

[BTO]

I got one of those too but I opened mine. Couldn't resist!

Just don't move it!

 

[HumBucker]

No excuses. Just win.

And for the love of all good things, put Jake back on his correct wing. He was looking good there and you flipped him. Cut that shit out.

Agreed. Of the two of DeBrusk and Ritchie, who's gonna benefit more by playing their proper wing? Most of Ritchie's value is in close to the net or board battles maybe, so what does it matter to him which wing he skates down to get to the net or which boards he's battling against? Let Jake skate where he's most effective.

 

[HumBucker]

........ Are you bored? lol

Seems like he's all a-bored!

 

[Bruinaura]

Seems like he's all a-bored!

Oh no you didn't.

 

[Gordoff]

If Smith can't go tomorrow, I'd love to see the idea of moving Coyle up to 2RW. Your bottom 6 would consist something of JDB - Lazar - Kuhlman and Ritchie - Kuraly - Wagner.
Although the goals haven't been coming, Coyle has played some fairly strong games and brings a bit more size than JDB does. Your 4th line is your checking line and 3rd line brings speed to hopefully wear down the Isles. It's not perfect and I don't really see a lot in 83 and what he brings but Cassidy seems to like him over some of the kids. Let's hope Smith is ready to go and all this conversation is moot...

Welcome!

 

[Memokerobi]

I get a Columbus series type vibe from this series. We split the first two games and there was some doubt going into their building with the canons especially after they beat a good team the previous round. The boys went in there and got two wins and never looked back. Hopeful for a similar performance tomorrow

ok I’m giving you a stern warning against any similar jokes.

That’s not what happened. Columbus won game 3 to go up 2-1 and then the Bruins won 3 straight. I remember being very nervous during that game 4.

My bad. Mixed it up with the Hurricanes series from last year. Message is the same though, this team plays well in tough environments

Coyle been good in the PO. 5/5 been better than Krejci.

 

[BB88]

They need to sharpen up Dzone play.

At times it looked like Isles pp at 5on5
