Concerned about Marchand coming back from concussion too soon after saying yesterday “you don’t want to have any excuses. You want to battle through it.”

I don`t think in this day and age we see players being rushed back (concussion or otherwise) from injuries. Now, obviously there are players who return to playoff action or play through something that if it were game 34 of the season they`d likely sit to get some healing time but I think that now, with all that is known about concussions, teams are focused on being incredibly careful about this type of thing

This team is so banged up that if he were being rushed, we likely would have already seen him before potentially seeing him tonight and are we sure Marchand has/had a concussion? I`m not so sure it wasn`t a shoulder issue?

I'm kinda excited to see the Lightning, I haven't caught any of their games but I hear they play a pretty entertaining brand of hockey. I became a Stamkos fan during the 2011 conference final, especially after he returned to finish game seven with his nose pretty much destroyed.

That being said, I'd like to see that Marchand fellow tear it up tonight. Also hoping for brick wall in the Bruins' net, no matter who gets the start.

Well if Marchand comes back soon I just hope he is not rushing it. Yes the Bruins could use more veterans with scoring as the rookies seem to be doing good and a nice looking crop of rookies for the future.
Taking losses for a season or two is worth it to me as long as we can get another cup or two or three soon.

Well- at least Tampa played last nite. so we have that going for us.

Hoping Backes comes back so we dont have Nash playing the second line.

Have to get the early lead in this one or it could get ugly.

Dont care who starts for us in goal, as long as we win. Would love to see Tuukka get a shutout if he plays, just to get his confidence back up.

Will miss the most of the first period as I work until 8 Yuck!!! Hoping the Bruins can get a "W". I think we as fans must realize that it does not matter who is in net ( I like Doby) they are both Bruins teammates and we should see this and cheer for them both. Let's Go Bruins!!!!!!!!!!!

Bruins have had the tendency to play to the level of their opponents this season. I think they have a good chance of winning.

I'm a little worried...

Note: I'm a little worried seeing as how the backup is getting the start for the Bolts tonight. You know what that means...

I hope if Brad plays he is healthy.

He should make a big difference but I would think his timing would be off a bit.

Love Stamkos.
Late start tonight :thumbd:

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO :clap::clap:
