[Ladyfan]

Toronto
****sburgh

Plucking this too.

I imagine that isn't an accident. Between that and Claude's system the NHL must be hoping Montreal sneaks into the playoffs along with Toronto for revenue.

Lol seriously? This conspiracy talking ridiculous. You realize they use algorithms to determine optimal schedules that factor in availability dates?

 

[BMC]

This never gets old

 

[TCB]

This never gets old

It would be sweeter if there was a number 87 on that Penguin.

 

[Seidenbergy]

This is going to be a really tough back-to-back. The Penguins are playing some decent hockey with a lot of guys chipping in and without many weaknesses and Montreal are inconsistent, but on their good nights they're buzzing and creating lots of chances.

Both of these teams had the better of the Bruins last season, so it's time to start correcting the ledger.

Not to nitpick, but the Bs were 2-1-1 against Montreal last season.

 

[BMC]

My list goes:
Montreal
Toronto
****sburgh

This is mine:

Montreal
St. Louis
Shittsburgh
Tampa Bay

I find Toronto more annoying/obnoxious than hate worthy tbh especially with Kadri gone.

 

[BMC]

It would be sweeter if there was a number 87 on that Penguin.

Great idea!!! And a #33, #37 and #40 on the Bruins

Thanks Fenway

LOL seriously, you realize how those algorithms always work in certain teams favor... year after year after year,aft...

 

[Spooner st]

Lol seriously? This conspiracy talking ridiculous. You realize they use algorithms to determine optimal schedules that factor in availability dates for Montreal/Toronto resting at home while other teams play them on 2nd nights.

Agreed with you here.

I actually believe Sid and Bergy get along. I hear Brad and Sid skate together in the Summer at times. Both are from Nova Scotia.

Lots of great players from Nova Scotia.

MacKinnon, MacInnis, Bonvie …….

My Dad was born in Halifax ! He skated but wasn't a hockey player.

 

[hrdpuk]

It it possible for algorithms to be skewed . Not saying this is the case with the schedule

I knew I detected some Canadian in you

 

[Trap Jesus]

I'm surprised they didn't do Halak vs. Ottawa, then Rask tonight, then back to Halak tomorrow. Ottawa seems like a lay-up of a game and then usually you give your team the best shot with your starter on the first leg of the back-to-back. Pittsburgh and Montreal are pretty comparable as opponents.

No wonder you are a wonderful person.

 

[Sheppy]

This one could be a high scoring one, I think.

5-4

 

[ODAAT]

so any word what happens if Ritchie is a no go for this evening?

 

[ODAAT]

When they tried to defend cooke. They were so worried about head hits but they were paying the very worst offended ever. Pissed me off so much. I really hated cooke.

exactly, Mario whined his entire career about players like Cooke, then kept handing him new contracts

 

[Clint Eastwood]

4-2 Bruins

Good guys: Pastrnak, Debrusk, Krejci, Heinen

Bad Guys: Guentzel x2

 

[Blowfish]

Lots of great players from Nova Scotia.

MacKinnon, MacInnis, Bonvie …….

I resided in New Glasgow NS for 3 cup parades. Sim for Dallas and white x2 for devils. Pictou county has a number of successful nhl players.

Nothing yet, should find out by morning skate which is about an hour out.

I posted the exact same thing in Saturday's pre-game thread, but then looked at the numbers and was surprised to see that Rask has gotten shelled his last 5 games vs Pittsburgh. Halak faced them all 3 times last season and looked decent. Rask was better against Ottawa and Montreal.
