Let’s get a W against these guys finally

 

[Aeroforce]

Last time against the Isles was the third game in four nights and the B's were worn out.

So no excuses this time, especially after playing a depleted Flyers squad.

 

[lopey]

Seems like weeks since the last game.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Islanders will get their comeuppance

Ain’t that the truth.

This is the first I heard of this, so the Bruins win didn't count ? hehehehehe

Need to build off the momentum from Lake Tahoe:

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Islanders will get their comeuppance

Yeah to think the Islanders have the Bruins number is ridiculous. Bruins have been out of sorts when they have met the islanders thus far . Even with the injuries , Bruins will win tomorrow

 

[22Brad Park]

No back to backs excuse for this one but we could play the injury card Anyways hope Bruins win.

Any word what the practice lines were? If Miller, Zboril, Lauzon, and Gryz all can't go, D-pairs could get interesting...

 

[Terrier]

How long before DeBrusk gets the ninth floor treatment?

They rolled with:

Vaak-McAvoy
Zboril-Carlo
Moore-Clifton

Moore and Cliffy have played together before so I guess that pairing at least have some familiarity. As far as I know Zboril and Carlo are new so will be curious to see how it goes. Both can be a bit loose in their coverage sometimes so that's perhaps a concern.

Huge opportunity for Vaak. He was excellent stepping up to the top pair in Tahoe and clearly Cassidy liked what he saw too. If he continues to shine against the Isles and any further games, he'll have a real chance to establish himself in the top 6 and make it difficult to force him back out.

 

[Mantis]

VaakAvoy could be a good pairing for a long time

 

[RustyBruins72]

VaakAvoy could be a good pairing for a long time

I kind of like Vaaka-Mac a little better.

 

[BMC]

Thank God for game day

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Thank God for game day

Truth.

 

[Fenway]

Thank God for game day

I don't work again until Sunday as MSG Network will handle the video the next 2 nights but NBC has the game on Sunday in Manhattan

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Is there going to be some fans in the stands for this game ?

 

[UConn126]

Is there going to be some fans in the stands for this game ?

I believe so. I'm looking at tickets for Sunday at MSG, but I don't know if I'll be able to get a PCR test in time. Apparently you have to show documentation of a negative test at the gate.

That makes sense, even having a couple of thousand fans at a game will greatly enhance it. I watched some English Premier League soccer games earlier this year when they were permitting some fans to attend certain teams games and what a difference it made to the atmosphere at the games.

 

[VanIsle]

Hopefully the fish sticks are not the new Capitals, the team the Bruins just can not beat.
I was so happy to see Holtby go to Vancouver, about as far away from Boston as he could get.

Oh well, let keep on keeping on, and beat these guys, while playing 3 games in 4 days.

 

[TobanWest]

Have a good feeling about today's game especially the third line.

Feels like a statement game for these three kids. Just a hunch.
4-1 Bruins Let's Gooooooooo!!

 

[Fenway]

GDT later this afternoon ​

Vaak-Mac-Attack!
