BRUINS GDT Game 3 10/8 1:07 PM - Ottawa at BRUINS in Home Opener | NESN, TSN5, RDS2, WBZ-FM 98.5

[The Murph]

Love those lines. Hope it works out.

 

[Fenway]

Anyone know if NESN will stream the game?

NESNgo will stream it

As a Bruins fan living in Canada, I love the Canadian Thanksgiving day game. My wife and I do our family visiting during the weekend and I usually have Monday to myself for the game. But, I understand why many don't like the weekday matinee game.

A little TMI but we're all family here. One year, I watched the Thanksgiving Day game while drinking my colonoscopy prep formula. That was....ummm.....interesting.

As for today, I'm hoping for a comfortable win but these plucky Sens have played well to start the season. I think it'll be a tough one.

 

[StoicSensFan]

Hope it's a fun game, good luck B's!

 

[BMC]

We are all sick in the household and had to cancel our Thanksgiving plans...my parents are in their eighties and we can't risk passing anything on to them. Tomorrow will be a lazy, lying on the sofa watching the game day. Hopefully the Bruins will boost our spirits and win.

Hope you are better soon!

I'm off today for the first time in forever on a Monday holiday of any weight.

I love the 1pm Monday start just because it's like a new thing for me.

However, I noticed we don't get the Friday mid-day after Thanksgiving again, looks like that tradition is gone forever.

 

[BMC]

Happy to see Backes at 3c where he belongs (hopefully he can do the job and problem solved!) and Wagner back in too.

As far as I am concerned this move is long overdue and I'm glad it is finally happening. Backes was a good center for many years with the Blues and I'm sure he hasn't forgotten how to do it.

 

[BMC]

Drop the f***ing puck already!!!!!

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Bruins are the far superior team but in early season hockey expect the unexpected.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

It's just the timing, my schedule and matinees do not mix.

Be safe over there my friend.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

I've been openly critical of Backes. I do however think it's odd that you would think that having the Bruins win, with Backes scoring a goal would ruin a game for Bruins fans commenting on a Bruins forum. I think people want the Bruins to succeed with or with Backes.

You've been around here for a decade. Do you not know Dan's sarcasm and humor yet?

 

[Glove Malfunction]

Glad to see Kuraly's back on the fourth line. Backes needs to earn his payday, and if that means playing center, well....he'd be just make his peace with that. It's not like he can't do it anyway. I've been trying to figure out why he hasn't been doing it up until now anyway. Is it really just the fact that he's uncomfortable with the defensive system, or is it something else?

Is there anything he's done or said that makes you think this is anything at all besides a coaching decision?

 

[Jaguar God]

Ottawa 4-3. Rask and the Bruins lay a stinker.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

NESNgo will stream it

Hoping to fire it up on NHL CI and at least be able to listen to it while at work. 12 noon start for me.

Well, in all honesty, hockey is his 3rd sport so he doesn’t always know what he’s talking about.


(I am required to add the emoji because although I have been around nearly as long, I post so much less and the board wouldn’t know otherwise)

 

[since76]

Love the projected lines

 

[BruinsFan1990]

Took the day off from work for this, so naturally I would come down with the flu. Watching this from the couch instead. Go Bruins!

 

[Boston Bandit]

I actually believe Backes is much better at playing center than wing. He was awesome when he was on the Blues. I wish the Bruins did this long ago. I think he still has more in the tank and like him even more come playoff time.

 

[Gordoff]

Awful time for me, might be skipping this one.

Hopefully Rask bounces back and puts on a great performance.

Me too. I scheduled jobs for today knowing that it's Columbus/Indigenous Persons Day.

 

[LouJersey]

I will always remember this day of discovery for the Bruins discovering Backes is really a center.

Bruins are generally enough to give one the trots, I couldn't imagine taking something else with that

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

On my way to the Gahden to meet LF, hoping this is a two win day for the Boston teams!! Don’ t love the weird 1pm home opener but glad it doesn’t conflict with Sox tonight.
Here we gohere we go

 

[Mantis]

Love the lines!

[missingchicklet]

Really want to see the second and third lines do well. Need Krejci and Backes to take these youngsters under their wings and play kick ass hockey. Go Bs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
