I actually want this, because I have to work Saturday night

 

[MiscBrah]

Can't wait to finally hate Boston.

 

[Knave]

So does Sportsnet just get all the series now? I honestly forget how it works. It used to be several years ago CBC got some series, TSN got leftovers in some weird draft.

Is it just 100% Sportsnet now?

That's what happened last year.

Melynk and the sens will fight 100% against an afternoon game.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Afternoon playoff games are an insult to all canadian hockey fans. At worst, make it 5pm, but if it goes to 1pm I'll be pissed.

It will literally destroy the playoff feel of the games.

3pm.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Such a weird feeling....the Bruins have been so neutral with us all these years...going to be strange getting a hate on for them in the next few days.

 

[God Flower]

Assuming all of our forwards are healthy, this is how I see the lineup shaping out. Depending on how things go, players from the 5th line might get inserted if the team isn't playing well. It's crazy how much depth we have.

Smith - Turris - Stone
MacArthur - Brassard - Ryan
Hoffman - Pageau - Burrows
Stalberg - Kelly - Pyatt
Dzingel - White - Wingels
Neil

 

[starling]

So this is their lineup?

Marchand - Bergeron - Backes
Pastrnak - Krejci - Beleskey
Stafford - Spooner - Moore
Schaller - Nash - Acciari

Chara - Carlo
Liles - McQuaid
Miller - Miller

Rask

No man, the Hoff - JGP - Stone line was very good. I have a feeling they'll stay together. While Brassard has been playing well with Burrows. So that means:

Mac - Turris - Ryan
Hoff - JGP - Stone
Stalberg - Brassard - Burrows
Smith - Kelly - Pyatt

Although, I'd play Wingels over Kelly myself.

With Mac back, do we move Smith back to centre?

 

[playasRus]

Miller - Miller

Lol. Looking forward to Spooner giving us a hard time.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Nah, his breakout was due to him playing on the wing.

True, but now we seem to be quite deep on wing with Burrows, Stalberg and Wingels being brought in and MacArthur coming back. It's an option anyway, and it's never a bad thing to have options.

I wonder if we will see White in this series.

Ugh. Work until 8. Was really hoping it was a night game. Will miss the first two games then vacation starts! And going to game 5!

Was Game 5 against Buffalo in 2007 the last afternoon playoff game we had?

Damn it. Seems like we have zero pull when it comes to playing American teams in the playoffs. NBC gets its way every time, even though they barely get the ratings. Who actually wants to sit at home or go to a bar mid-afternoon? It's not so bad for those attending I suppose, but TV ratings in Canada must dip severely.

Also, I hate having three days between game 1 and 2. Double buzz-kill. Wouldn't surprise me if it goes to 6 and that game airs even earlier that sunday.

That was ****ing horse ****. Caught me completely off guard when a friend texted me about the game and i was out and about.

Mac will definitely be in the lineup with Kelly out.
