Pre-Game Talk: EDSF Game 4 5/21 6:40 PM - Capitals (1) @ BRUINS (2) - NESN, NBCSN, SN, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[JCRO]

Who?

Who’s that?

Wagner.

Im only kidding around. But on a serious note I dont see how he keeps getting into the lineup. Sure he hits, but thats about it. He hasnt been able to clear pucks out of his own end. And their forecheck is literally dump the puck and turn right back around to play defense.

Ouitside of the OT periods last game, which I thought they played well and they probably should considering they were well rested, the fourth line has been a handicap for this team the last two games specifically. They get hemmed in their own end every shift. I had hoped this might change last game with the Bs getting last change but it didnt. It was just as bad.

And Wags to me is the odd man out. Kuraly is needed for his faceoff ability. Id like to see more from Lazar though as well.

It seems silly of me to harp on a fourth line. But they need to be reliable and able to eat up 10-12 mins in regulation. And maybe produce some jump? I havent seen that.

Sure they've been able to keep the puck out of their net but good gosh it hasnt been pretty.

 

[JCRO]

I will say I did love Wags comments to Wilson. That was hilarious.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

I really don't understand this take Wagner out for Blidh and Frederic nonsense.

You arent sick of seeing marchand targeted by their 4th line every game?

 

[Alicat]

I'm tired of Laviolette's nonsense with the media. Just name your starter and tell us who is in and who is out.

IMO he looks absolutely foolish.

Blidh and Frederic won't stop it if anything it will get worse.

I put in Kuhlman long before either of them. Thats who I had in mind anyways.

Fourth line needs something to get them out of their own end.

 

[TD Charlie]

In an argument, first person to show their anger loses. Wagner's interview described exactly how I react to confrontation, which made it even more hilarious. I want him to play just for the chance he continues that passive shit talking.

Well Wags has been healthy scratched more than most this year. Kuraly is and always will be the binky lol.

I do think Wags is the weakest link on the line but the other options aren’t really any better than him.

 

[TD Charlie]

He deserves to start.

He thinks he's being clever. Hey Peter it hasn't been working for you the past 2 games! What makes you think it'll work now?

 

[Alicat]

He deserves to start.

He was great except for that one goal.

I expect him to come out pissed so the boys better shoot the damn puck

 

[DarrenBanks56]

I want Vanicek in net so we can just win these next 2 games easily.

 

[Alicat]

Exactly.

 

[Roll 4 Lines]

People are obsessed with Frederic because he fought Wilson once and they think he'd get Wilson off his game.

Frederic is the reason why Wilson went after Carlo and injured him

Sorry, but, Wilson is the reason Wilson went after Carlo and injured him.

 

[Gordoff]

Thanks ... it will be an Everest of a challenge - unlike the NHL there's zero respect for parity in UK sports and so it is truly earnest paupers vs billionaire sugar daddies and my team is certainly in the former category (which is one of the reasons that I turned to, and adore, your game).

Any how ... this ain't about 'soccer' and Norwich City (I'm sure 99% of people reading this are thinking - 'shut up Brit'!).

Let's go Bs!!!
Pasta to score.

Hahaha, it's always, always, always the elite vs the rest of us.

Welcome!

 

[Ladyfan]

@Ladyfan Are you going tonight? Did you go for game 3??

Yes. We went to game 3 (sat in Loge 20...saw our pals who work behind the bench) We are going tonight and will sit in Loge 20 again.

Looking forward to it ! It felt great to be back at the Garden after not being there for over a year.

The downer was not seeing my pal Steve who left this earth last Fall due to COVID19. For 18 years I would chat with Steve (and @Highatop325 ) before every game. Starting next season Nick (@Highlander23 ) will be sitting in Steve's seat. It is the last row of the balcony where the Bs shoot twice.

Maybe Nick will have to change his user name !

Let's Go Bs!

Welcome ! Nice to have you .

Watch the entire sequence. Wilson goes after Frederic and Freddy avoids him. Wilson gets pissed and then decides to take it out on Carlo.

Freddy running around acting like a fake tough guy exposed his teammates to cheap shots and Carlo paid the price.

Wilson will act like an ass by himself so the Bruins don't need to play antagonist

 

[Alicat]

 

[Alicat]

So Oshie is in and Eller is back

 

[rocketdan9]

I'm loving these overtime games , it's more hockey especially with the B's winning . It's exciting

No OT today please. Throw me a bone

 

[Bruin]

Let's Go Bs!

Welcome to the bears den!!

Come on Bruins, can we get a regulation win tonight for a change please!

Why? What happened to him???
