Pre-Game Talk: GAME 30 1/6 7:14 PM - THE BEAR plans to tame the wild - ESPN, HULU, SN, 98.5 WBZ-FM

Thanks! Nice to see Blidh in the line up.

Two games is my max with Moore especially against faster teams. IMO, that is when you really notice that he had a hip injury

I am just guessing about Blidh, tbh, but I don't see that there is another option. Steen is in already, Kuhlman is in protocol with Jake. Who else is there?

 

[Dr Hook]

With Mc out I think the need for a real #2 becomes a bigger need. Someone to help eat the minutes and share the load, they should make a push for Chychrun now. That duo for the next decade is dominate.

At least for the 50 games a year they play together. Maybe less. Chychrun has some serious injury concerns happening.

 

[Mione134]

How ironic, didn't know thanks

No problem. It seems either half the league is in health and safety protocols or on IR with some injury. He is the latter.

As of September 2018, TNT was received by approximately 89.573 million households that subscribe to a subscription television service throughout the United States.

Fubo and TNT are talking however

And yet Winter Classic only had 1.4 million of those viewers. Houston, we've got a problem.

I think there have been too many outdoor games the past few years, with the exception of last year when there were none. Just have the 1 outdoor game on New Year's Day each season and that's it, no more heritage/stadium series or anything like that.

Duhaime tested postive for Wild. An underrated bottom sixer, who is fast and tough. JEE, Greenway, and Duhaime being out makes them a lot less physical....Foligno will be doing triple duty tonight trying to run around hitting people, protecting teeny little Rossi, and fighting with his brother.

I'm calling a Foligno goal tonight

Interested in seeing where he's at. Hopefully he can string some good play together. . .

Interesting. Is there another defenseman who is questionable to play tonight or is Vaakanainen up with Boston just in case there's a health protocol issue?

With the schedule the way it is, it is best to get Charlie to rest.

You don't want due to injury.

Did I see practice lines with John Moore on the first pairing?

You did- McAvoy is out with an LBI, so Moore slots in with Gryz. Could be interesting.

Notice how she didn't say which one

Makes me think McAvoy may be out for a few games. They may also want to see Urho in the NHL again to see how he does. He's had a couple great games, he looked like a stud in the outdoor game last year, but he's also had some duds. I still think he has potential if he can get consistent. Hard to do that without reps though.

 

[22Brad Park]

McAvoy out after blocking a shot .Well that surely sucks

Which One .

Calling it right now, 2 point night for QUADZILLA

Could be. For me, everyone I know out this way didn't watch it because TNT wasn't available on whatever they watched their sports on. It's pretty rural, we don't have many options for internet or tv even for that matter.

Marcus?!

Nick obviously but if one goes off Marcus into his own net then I am ok with that too.

Clever, stacking the deck in your favor as both are playing, eh?
