Great GDT @Alicat.

Especially the pink bunny pic

[LouJersey]

Hopefully Krejci watched Studnicka the last two games and matches his overall effort and energy 5v5 as the 2C

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Welcome back, Zdeno. I hope your team earns zero points tonight, but welcome back.

 

[ON3M4N]

Do we see Frederic vs Wilson Round 2 tonight?

I'll be interested to see if putting Studs at L4 goes with Kuraly and Wagner. Still wish we could have kept Frederic and Studnicak together as they seem to have good chemistry together and played together last year.

Of course the JDB watch will be on and if he can start to come to life. I was surprised (and not) that he and Wags had similar per/60 numbers in Shots, ixG iSCF & iHDCF over the last 5 games

 

[HustleB]

I do wish Bjork were in, but it is what it is. Go Bruins!

 

[DaStinger]

Let's ****ing go!

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Just fyi that Kuznetsov is good to go so he's centering Ovechkin and Sheary. Eller drops down to the 3C spot with Oshie moving to 3RW. Sprong gets nacho duty.

Good luck tonight. Wish Big Z could get his deserved ovation and tribute video.

Thanks, should be fun.

Hi Big Z. ! I am sorry we fans are not there at the Garden to give you the standing ovation that you well deserve.

A win tonight (for the B's) would be nice. No injuries...no COVID19.

Keep your heads up with Wilson out there.

Hey Steve, I hope the b's win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

Would love to see Freddy tee off on the faux tough guy Garnett Hathaway. He's such a chump.

Even though I wasn't a fan I was angry/sad when they moved to North Carolina. Karmanos still ranks high on my public enemies list.

First hockey jersey I ever bought was a Whalers jersey, right there in the Civic Center mall where they played. Still the best logo and colors in professional sports.

blame your corrupt leadership at the state level @BMC, that's not on Karmanos or Dundon....

I have to bite on this. What's the story here?

I have to bite on this. What's the story here?

for those that may not know the Whalers history.... the state of Connecticut and its RDA (Regional Development Authority);

now when the now XL Center HAD ITS ISSUES with the collapsed roof.... the Whalers went to Springfield until the building was retrofitted back to present day...

the age of the building has become an issue, among other things in recent years..... much like the Islanders struggles to vacate the Nassau Coliseum for that ill fated shift toward Brooklyn and Barclays.

this is why Nassau is being left for the new facility adjacent to Belmont Park (UBS Arena).....

Karmanos kept waiting on the state to grant him an arena or a replacement for XL, WHICH never happened.....

it's why XL Remains as the Rangers affiliate and the Hartford home arena.....


as the years went by... and the Whalers became Carolina, first in Greensboro, then Raleigh, turns out Karmanos was right... would there be NHL in Hartford today had he got what Karmanos requested from the state.... we'll never truly know.

Stellar GDT Ali & Fenway!

Here we go Bruins...
