Now'd be a great time to get back in the "W" column.

Now'd be a great time to get back in the "W" column.

I've been informed by my own board that the Bruins are on a run of 24-9 against the Devils.
Enjoy yourselves tonight.

4-2 Bruins

Marchand, Heinen x2 & McAvoy gets his first

Only after we're up 2-0 through the first 30 minutes so we can keep up the narratives please and thank you.

So 4-2 for the other team? Bruins fear the lead.

 

[kthx]

Would like either a win or a game without injuries.
Preferably both.

Martin Brodeur poutine is pretty good - I'll pass on the soup

Is that the old Kansas City Scouts? Wow!

 

[PlayMakers]

The fact that Brett Ritchie is guaranteed not only a spot in the lineup but a spot on the second line, the minute he's healthy enough to play, is infuriating.

QFT. Can the experiment end already?

 

[Trap Jesus]

Bruins against a bottom feeder, what could go wrong?

 

[TP]

Scared, I am

Considering he's one of the only healthy natural RWs they have and Senyshyn/Kuhlman are out I don't see the problem. The wings spots are always going to be in flux in the middle six.

 

[aguineapig]

What other option is there? Zach on LTIR, is there anyone else in Provy? Backes is likely done? Ritchie has been fine, takes the body when he can and has chipped in offensively. And he came in handy for sure against the Sharks. He is not a savior but he is a good soldier.

 

[Bruinaura]

Scared, I am

Cookies, you need

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Yeah, so I’m rooting for a win tonight.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

We need more grit and fighting ability on the team.

Trade for Kuemper.

It must just be to irritate us. They really aren't going to look for a real 2RW AGAIN it would seem. I just don't get it.

He has been all of that, but he's not a 2RW. Hopefully just a place holder for now.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

I am ok with Ritchie on the 2nd. Just to NOT TOUCH the 3rd line. That line is money. STOP TINKERING WITH IT BRUCE.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

Was at the AZ game on Saturday. Kuemper was taking no shit at all. Can confirm Matthew Tkachuk is a punk.

Kuemper has got to be in the early conversation for Vezina as well. He's been awesome so far.

As for tonight's game, I like the lineup...except for 2RW. I know why Ritchie is there, with him being a natural RW, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Knowing Bruce he wont stay there if its stale play after a few shifts. The problem is that I KNOW he will move him down to the 3rd which is exactly when I dont want him to do.
