I'm currently in Reno Nevada until the 23rd, any chance this game will be televised here?

It's the nationally televised game on NBC Sports Network (NBCSN). If you can find that channel, you'll get it.

Thanks Fenway! As I was asking I was thinking, "i bet fenway will know" lol

 

[Fenway]

It is amazing how little history the Bruins and Red Wings have given their O6 roots.

Compare that to an official Blackhawks promo

I hate having 5 of the O6 in the same conference and 4 in the same division.

At this point, put all 6 into the same division.
Yeah yeah yeah the time zones, the travel.

 

[KnightofBoston]

This should be a win but has the feel it'll be a letdown game, let's hope the Bruins prove me wrong!

Hope one of the kids gets a hatty

f***! I still haven't recovered from that shit show on Monday.

 

[BruinLVGA]

No distractions + balls to the wall = we got this. So, boys, eyes on the prize!

 

[C0ach B0mbay]

This one feels like an important game. WSH will be tough on a back-to-back, and NYR might be even tougher on Saturday (3rd game in 4).

 

[ODAAT]

great GDT, hope the boys don`t play down to the level of their opponent tonight

 

[DarrenBanks56]

lol.
Ill never forget that brawl against DET.
Then some fan punch Yzerman while he was heading to the dressing room.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

love the late games. Get the kiddos to bed and get to watch the game with NO interruptions.

 

[frickinbobby]

if Fank Vatrano plays tonight,

Frank Vatrano will score...

 

[Dr Hook]

If Spooner is good to go, what do the lines look like do we think?
Don't want to break up the 3rd line, 1st line is too sick to tamper with right now, so he goes on Krejci's line? Bjork to the 4th or a scratch?

Go B's- I hate the friggin Red Wings for some reason, always have

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Based on morning skate, seems like no Spooner or Kevan Miller tonight.

 

[Ladyfan]

Based on morning skate, seems like no Spooner or Kevan Miller tonight.

Kevan and his wife are having their first child (so I have heard).

I don't mind 8 pm if it is an away game. Make a cup of tea...put my jammies on....watch the B's (with my cats and daughter).

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[Dr Hook]

Based on morning skate, seems like no Spooner or Kevan Miller tonight.

No Spooner, meh. No K Miller . . . Postma??

Fine dining in Motown

 

[Ron Quixote]

Bruins absolutely have to bank the points available from the lower tier teams. While currently in a playoff spot they're barely above .500 (OTL is a L).

Go Broons!

 

[BMC]

I hate the multi quote function

 

[Sheppy]

Bruins win tonight, 3-2... Bergeron, Pastrnak and Chara score.

Any word on McQuaid? Witowski likes to run around a bit, would be nice to see someone in the lineup that can keep him in check.
