Pre-Game Talk: EDSF Game 3 - 5/19 6:40 PM - Washington @ BRUINS - NESN, NBCSN, SN, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

These last two games have been exciting . I like exciting

this whole playoff has been exciting, finding myself watching teams I typically don`t get to see often (Vegas/Wild etc..), the presence of fans, regardless if it`s in a barn that allows only 25% to those who appear to have lifted all restrictions for this fan makes all the difference in the world, fans simply add an energy that pumped in music/sound effects don`t come close to doing.

I barely watched the playoffs last year, would rather watch my dog sleep but not this year, totally different vibe

Tuukka Rask career in Game Threes (15 games)
1.80 GAA ; .944 Sv% ; 2 Shutouts

Tuukka Rask following a win in the playoffs since 2018-19 (13 games)
2.03 GAA ; .935 Sv% ; 2 Shutouts

2 goals on 4 shots in G7 after a win

idk how Bruce can feel confident going back with that fourth line.

One positive is he gets last change so he can better shelter them. But I have to imagine they have a short leash after last game

 

[13Hockey]

pretty important

short leash already in effect, they all played under 10 mins which isn`t a positive, ideally to have that fourth be able to eat up 10-12 mins would be perfect but he can`t trust them right now

 

[13Hockey]

love the switch

 

[Bumper]

I love Marchnad and Grzeclyk.

 

[prizminferno]

Should be Grz up top, Hall on the right, Pasta on the left, Bergeron in the middle, Marchand in front

 

[The National]

pretty important

Guy thinks he’s Scotty Bowman

 

[Tmac37]

Nice move putting DK on the first PP he is the guy you want with the puck on his stick.

 

[KnightofBoston]

nah.
i just like watching when all housework is done. gwtting kids to bed etc.
Im good on 4 hours a sleep. always have been. Im up at 5am because its so damn light out now.

oh you're one of those people! i really want more genome sequencing done because i think that's a protein that allows people to do that

You aren't even a first class troll. More like a troll junior grade.

I agree but Bruce seems to stay away from changing a lineup after a win, unless for injury.

Cant be rolling 3 lines, our top guys are gonna get worn out. That line has to figure it out.

Good to know that Tinordi is next man up based on practice.

 

[prizminferno]

Tinordi is actually terrible. Let's hope he never sees a playoff game.

 

[Ladyfan]

"Full" might not quite mean full; I think I read somewhere else here that the league has capped arena capacity around 12K-14K regardless of local rules. They also want to keep the rows near the players (aka the LadyFan rows) as a buffer. Of course, that can change depending on how low the COVID numbers get - the 7-day average death rate is about 1/5-1/6th the peak, which happened right as the season opened.

This game's too early for me - rather it start at the civilized 7 PM time. I'd even take 8 PM over the half hour early time, which rushes getting dinner ready.

If they let someone else sit in my seats I will be PISSED !

Today is the first game back since the last game in 2020.

We are sitting in Loge 20

I am psyched .

GO B's !

 

[Ladyfan]

Mr 08 and I will be in the building tomorrow.

First game since last February, first game not in our seats, and first game as non-STH.

Gonna be weird, man. I’m excited, but gonna be weird.

See you there !

 

[Ladyfan]

The Bruins can play much better than this, and they are coming home 1-1 after two OT games against their (recent) nemesis.

This is good, yes?

YES !

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

 

[Ladyfan]

He is slow as molasses,if they can stay away from that stick ,you can go wide and around him .

I didn't see how much Big Z's time on ice was last game but it didn't seem like much

 

[veganbruin]

Love Clifton in the lineup again. He had a really strong game. He’s my 6th-7th D on the Bruins for the foreseeable future past this season.

 

[TCB]

love the switch

Would rather see Hall out there for Kreech.

Hall has been very good defensively and has the speed to get back and cover on the pp, kreech not so much plus Hall can put the puck in the net.

 

[Ladyfan]

Agree, anyone know why the early 6:30 start? I would settle for 7:00 or 7:30.

Usually playoffs are more like 8:30 pm start. I guess I will have to get out of work a bit earlier today to get into Boston. Since I have to get up at 5:30 am the earlier time works for me.
