THESE GUYS ARE FANTASTIC


TONIGHT’S GAME

The Bruins visit the Canadiens tonight in the 3rd of 4 games between these teams this season and the 2nd of 2 at Bell Centre this year … The Bruins are 17-12-4 this season and are 6-8-4 on the road … They are 8-6-1 vs. Atlantic Division opponents and are 12-8-1 vs. Eastern Conference foes.

The Bruins conclude tonight their 7th of 14 sets of back-to-back games this season … They are currently 3-3-1 in the 1st game of those sets and are 5-0-1 in the 2nd games so far.

The Bruins are playing game 3 tonight of their 8th of 17 sets of 3-games-in-4-nights this season, as they played in Pittsburgh on 12/14 (5-3 loss) & vs. Buffalo on 12/16 (4-2 loss) … They are 2-5-1 in game 1s, 5-1-2 in game 2s and 5-1-1 in game 3s of those series this season.

MILESTONES APPROACHING

Torey Krug is 1 assist shy of 199 Bruins assists, which will tie Mike O’Connell for the most by a US-born player in team history & he is 2 assists shy of his 200th NHL assist.

David Krejci is 2 points shy of his 600th NHL point.

David Backes is 2 assists short of his 300th NHL assist.

Tuukka Rask is 3 games shy of his 469th NHL/Bruins game, which will be the most by a goaltender in team history

what ridiculous pre-game ceremony will the Habs put on tonight?

No clue how our boys will react/play after two losses in a row, expecting a bit of doom and gloom tonight so that usually means a Bruin win

@Fenway I think you meant 8PM start time right? There has to be some sort of pre-game ceremony that delays the game.

The Rose Tattoo video is a reminder of how great this game was once when rivalries mattered and players legitimately hated each other. Regardless of the skill, speed, training whatever of today's players how far the game is from being that entertaining.

Pretty much.

I used to get fired up for Bruins/Habs games, now it's basically the same amount of hatred as the Bruins playing the Hurricanes.

They normally go on a winning run when you say things like 'they're just not a very good team' and 'the season is over'. I need more.
I don't recall saying the season is over, but yeah, usually when I say they'll lose, they end up winning in a fairly big way.

This team is worse than the 92 Senators.
