Pre-Game Talk: Game 1 - 10/3 8:37 PM - The Bear travels to 'Deep In The Heart of Texas' - NESN, SN360, WBZ-FM 98.5

[Blowfish]

First goal - Krug.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

I really wanted to be there tomorrow night, but the cost for decent seats comes at a time when it is not financially feasible I guess that makes me not a superfan, but I needed some yard equipment and didn't want to drive two hours into that hellish traffic mess in Dallas to sit up in the nosebleeds where the players look like ants. Get a better view on NESN with a pause button, reasonably priced food a few feet away and no bathroom line.

We'll be in Glendale for the Saturday game, but we only live 20 minutes away, almost no traffic, and we got the weekend package, so seats are about $20 apiece. Still the nosebleeds though.

 

[Ladyfan]

Should be a better game than last year's 7-0 loss to Washington

WOW that was a stinker.

First goal Pasta from Brad

 

[UncleRico]

We get it, you hate Ritchie.

The Bruins 2nd line wing issue > 4th line wing issue.

I mean we just because the 2nd line has a RW issue doesn’t mean we can ignore the 4th line because it’s less of a problem. Ritchie didn’t even look like he belonged in the NHL during pre season, so I understand what he’s saying.

 

[HustleB]

First goal Heinen from Coyle.

 

[BMC]

First goal Heinen from Coyle.

I will say Coyle from Heinen

 

[BruinDust]

First goal - Par Lindholm. It will likely be his first and last goal of the season.

Fine, I don't disagree. Swap him with player X.

We can't do the same with the 2nd line wing position, which is why I'm saying its a much bigger issue right now.

Yeah the 1st, 3rd & 4th lines are the least of our concerns. 2RW is the big question mark.

Well we did get to see Larry Eller get his face smooshed by Marchy at the tail end of that game, so it wasn't a total loss.

 

[Clode]

I cannot remember another player who has played for the Bruins (a fourth liner at that) that has been crucified so much before they even suited up for a regular season game as much as Brett Ritchie has been. Like Jesus Christ people give the guy a chance. If he still sucks after 10-20 games then that's that but I feel like we should wait to see a decent sample size outside of two preseason games before we can form a rational opinion. I'd be more concerned about the gaping whole on Krejcis right side that has existed since Jarome Iginla left.

As for the game tomorrow night, just no key injuries please. Oh yea and get pucks in deep, points at a premium, statement game blah blah blah. 5-2 B's

The Bruins 2nd line wing issue > 4th line wing issue.

Ah so it's okay when you whine and cry all the time about lack of toughness but I can't do it a little bit about a player? At least my gripe is warranted.

What are you even talking about? I'm just saying that pretty much any time his name is brought up, you're shitting on him. I don't think a guy on the 4th line wing is going to make or break this team, especially when he can easily be swapped out. I think that's far less of an issue than the 2nd line wing, or even third line wing position. What happens if Kuhlman sucks? It's not like they have a guy ready to step in, hell, you can make the argument that Kuhlman shouldn't even be there.

I guess my opinion on the team isn't warranted, I'll make note of it.

 

[Ratty]

First goal of the season.....Bjork, assisted by Steen.

Whoops, wrong thread.

 

[caz16]

I'm so excited for Bruins hockey to return! I will go with first goal by Marchand.

Please, no injuries and a nice win to start the season!

 

[BruinsBtn]

First goal : Pasta. On the way to a Rocket Richard trophy.

 

[BruinsDude]

First goal Debrusk

 

[Mad Dr Pepper]

First goal : Backes

Dunno why, just feeling it.

Agree, wrote this last week, when Richie is pounding out the opposition everyone on here will write we needed this guy in last years playoffs
Come on a lot of us if not all of us wrote they needed more toughness

Does anyone live near Montreal? If so is SN360 blacked out when there's a hockey game. Not alot of Bruins games are being shown on TVA sport , RDS, and even CBC , don't know what happened this year

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

I wish the game was tonight as I am working 3-11 so I will have to catch the game when I get home . I’m watching the Leafs - Sens game tonight. Go Sens !

Yep, would be nice to see Brannstrom pot 4 tonight and each of the ex Leafs pound the snot out of Matthews and Marnier

I live in Gatineau and I'm not sure about SN360, I was tired of the blackouts so I "traveled" to eastern Europe and subscribed to NHL TV at a good price. I also "travel" there each time there's a game.
So no more blackouts. I never miss a game. NHL TV app works flawlessly on my Kodi device.


Bergeron with the 1st goal of the season!

 

[Boston Bandit]

Game 1: Brett Ritchie scores
