[Ladyfan]

Let's take a strangle hold on the series - play hard for a full 60, injuries or not they should win. Win in regulation please!!!!

My daughter and I walking a trail this morning, she can't take me anywhere....lol Game days always require Bruins attire! Go Bruins!!View attachment 443566

Great picture !

 

[Serpico]

You all can back off the ledge. Fluto'ed

 

[13Hockey]

Don’t feel great about the D tonight

hoping for the best

but this will be a tough one to win

McAvoy is gonna have to play 30 mins and where
really gonna need our forwards to help the D out tonight and grind this one out



GO Bs

 

[Serpico]

Grab an early lead take the crowd out avoid penalty and add to the lead

You're going to need a 3-0 lead to take the crowd out of it. They "ooo" and "ahh" at tape to tape passes.

 

[The don godfather]

Tinordi is gonna be solid tonight. Book it.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Tinordi is gonna be solid tonight. Book it.

The Godfather has yet to lead us astray

 

[Bodit9]

ugh not liking the same forward lines

Ugh. That bottom 6 is stale. Needs a shakeup.

 

[bme44]

this is a issue I have with Cassidy though, he doesn’t make that one elite coaching move that would put him above others, plays it too safe, until there’s only one game left to win and we don’t


Needs to look at the writing on the wall and recognize at least one of Ritchie, Debrusk, Wagner should take a seat


But, maybe those guys will have a big game tonight? One can hope.

For WHO ?????. It is not like we have any elite players that are no being dressed. Kuhlman is an elite AHL player not NHL. Fredreic is simply not ready to replace any one in the line up. Like has been said many times by management . When a player proves he is ready to take a full time role in the starting line up a place in the line up will be found

If he doesn't want to get "reckless" he doesn't even have to sit one of them, just readjust the lines to get DeBrusk on the left side with Coyle and Lazar and I think Ritchie-Kuraly-Wagner could work on the 4th. Maybe that line will inspire him to hit more.

 

[BMC]

The over passing is what gets me. SHOOT THE DAMN PUCK ALREADY! We saw in the last game that even fluky shots sometimes find their way in.

Amen.

while I don`t ever expect a Khulman to get in the lineup and ignite the team, what he can and does do is force opponents to make plays quicker because of his speed and very good stick. Look at the lone game he played in, made a strong play in the neutral zone, got the puck, dished to Coyle I think it was and wound up in back of the net. Problem with Ritchie is complete lack of speed. If it`s a battle along the wall and/or in front of the net, he`s fine but when he`s on the ice, you can`t dump the puck into the corner he`d be forechecking on because he`ll rarely be the first on the puck or be able to put the heat on a d-man whose gone back to retreat the puck and that`s an issue

Khulman won`t bowl anyone over but he can bring the element of speed Ritchie doesn`t and isn`t capable of doing

Yeah I get what you're saying, at the end of the day I'd like a shakeup in that bottom 6, but if they win today you nor I will really care in the end.

Sorry, but a post like this just shows extreme bias. The play you were talking about, Ritchie made a beautiful through the seem pass to Coyle. He then, of course, scored one of the best goals he has ever scored as a Bruin.

 

[TSBruins13]

Wouldn’t mind giving Freddy a look over Ritchie for a game

 

[Kate08]

Have dinner plans with my college friends tonight at 6. Could have sworn the game was at 8. Dammit, self!

I could bail, but we’re going to Panza and Panza should never be bailed on.

Hope these bitches eat fast.

Yes Khulman is faster than Ritchie . He does not bring the physical presence Ritchie brings, or the net front presence or the scoring capability . One is a full time NHLer one is a fill in player or an AHLer. I am confident most people would agree and No NHL GM would trade Ritchie for Khulman

Lots of angst in here.

Deep breaths and have a little faith

Agreed. You and everyone including the Isles know this game is pretty much do or die for them. Hoping Rask is stellar but not getting my hopes too high.

GO Bs

 

[LouJersey]

Last playoff game I missed I went to Sight and Sound theatre to see “Jesus” in Lancaster PA. Absolutely amazing. The game was game 3 in the 2019 SCF.....Bruins killed them. Tonight I will be going to see Francisco Alvarez, Ronnie Mauricio and Brett Baty play for the Brooklyn Cyclones down in Lakewood NJ. Baseball is my #3 love after Jesus and family sooooooo good omen I hope. Bruins 4-2

 

[Bread and Circuses]

I like Frederic's game a lot but I recall him having a real tough time clearing his zone during regular season, Isles are on top of guys more than your average team I think Ritchie's size helps a lot there.

Bring on the Tin-Man!

 

[BruinDust]

I hope McAvoy, Gryz and Reilly are ready to play tonight because based on how Bruce's pairs are have shaped up, I think he's gonna ride these guys hard, especially McAvoy. I wouldn't be surprised if they try hard to avoid having Tinordi out there much either Lauzon or Clifton. It's unavoidable but they'll do their best to avoid it by double-shifting McAvoy with Tinordi possibly. Conversely they will try to use Reilly or Gryz whenever they roll out Lauzon or Clifton.

 

[Bearcrap]

Bring on the Tin-Man!

What. Is Pierre Turgeon playing for the Bruins tonight?
