McGuire gushes over the bruins....so I don't mind him.

 

[Blowfish]

Liking the line up. Bruins need to insert Cliffy and Studnicka every other game.

I'm hoping Bjork breaks through....been working his arse off creating opportunities. Finally a third line that just may click!

 

[Bumper]

Your rating system doesn’t make sense.

to you. I have used it for a long time and it makes great sense to me. it measures effective play, success. I have learned a lot from the surprises and outliers, and have grown more confidence in my assessments over time. I do not need anybody to join me in valuing it all, I just offer my notes in discussion. Cliffy has been hot. Grzekcyk is usually better by enough to make an easier call.

McGuire gushes over the bruins....so I don't mind him.

I like McGuire better than some of the others. Plus he is nice to me. He always stops in to say hello when he is at a B's home game and always says what he likes about the B's.

 

[Bumper]

mentioning the change in Rask's save percentage without the loss of Chara's reach seems like choosing to ignore a major factor. he'll not be 0.940 again. Halak is likely to drop. a neat discussion would be why he might not miss Chara as much.

 

[CDJ]

I like Pierre as well. He’s such a dork I find it hard to dislike him lol

 

[Orr Fourever]

The group is playing well. So all I can add is
Let's go Bruins...

My brother and I met Pierre at a prep-school game a couple years ago. He was humble and gracious, even though his kid scored the winning goal off my nephew, who was in net. Real nice guy.

 

[Fenian24]

Pierre drives me crazy sometimes but he doesn't seem to have an agenda like Olczyk. He has a clear love of the game, if he toned it down just a bit he would be great.

I gave him a hard time once years ago for his love of the Pens. He came back out and gave me the peace sign. Now he will always stop and talk.

Pierre had cancer a couple of years ago so I asked him if he was OK. He seemed very touched that I was asking and told me he was doing fine.

I like him over many of the others. He does seem to love the game of hockey.

 

[Sheppy]

I really don't hate Pierre like most do.

Give me him 100/100 times over the likes of Glen Healy or Cassie Campbell.

I don’t think Bjork should be inserted on RW over Studnicka if both are healthy.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

No mute button needed for this one.

Can’t stand Kenny Albert but at least he stopped bringing up the Bruins PP woes during the 2011 playoffs schtick. Took like 5 years. Maybe someone finally said something. Like, “It’s annoying and old”.

 

[BruinDust]

I really don't hate Pierre like most do.

Me either. Pierre has toned it down a lot from his early years at TSN where he was over-the-top.

Healy was awful, one of my least favorites. Him and Greg Millen. Both former goaltenders who showed no love at all for the Bruins, and no talent for broadcasting.

Cassie Campbell was cringe-worthy in her early years of broadcasting but has come a long way and is slightly tolerable now.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Lotta flukey goals, lotta high quality opportunities allowed would be my guess

he’s passed my eye test, that’s all I know

Oh 100%. That's why I was surprised by it.

He's been dope. So have our D though, especially the youngins.

Cassie Campbell was cringe-worthy in her early years of broadcasting but has come a long way and is slightly tolerable now.

Healy was brutal, hated the Bruins and came off as arrogant, couldn't stand him. Millen was a kinder less arrogant version of Healy. As for Cassie Campbell, all I will say is she should have been replaced years ago, you either have it or you don't in that profession, and she clearly dosen't.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Pierre is great. He has his obsessions but also knowledge and actual energy to the broadcast. I take him over Boucher easily. Absolutely ahead of Cassie Campbell as well.

Nice to have a Bruins game to watch tonight.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Anything less than 3 out of 4 points is unacceptable for these next two . Rangers aren’t good . I’m working 3-11 so it’s DVR time for me . It’s time Coyle and Debrusk got going. I’d like to see that 3rd line be the Bruins best line tonight .

 

[DarrenBanks56]

sucks clifton is out.
ill be watching gryz tonite.
hopefully no let ups along the boards and letting guys push him around.

lets get a lead for a change tonite.

and unlike B`s opponents have done while playing them, keep that lead

 

[Alicat]

@Fenway You have mail

 

[VanIsle]

Too bad it is not on the TV tonight, oh well.

Keep the points piling up and stay healthy.

Lets see how Griz preforms, hopefully not too rusty, would be nice to have Debrusk pot one as well.

 

[Sheppy]

3-1 Bruins

 

[ODAAT]

I don’t think Bjork should be inserted on RW over Studnicka if both are healthy.

I like Studsy, lots to like about his game, right now, IMO, his play along the walls is weak, while Bjork might not be a beast, he`s much stronger with that aspect of the game at this stage

 

[kjpm]

Glad to have a game to watch finally. Things were getting loopy in here with all the Jake Virtanen talk haha

Happy to see DeBrusk and Gryz are back in. Hope Kase isn't too far behind. If they could go a few games without new injuries that would be swell.
