Thank you, Fenway!

It'd be nice to continue the hot streak out of the Christmas break.

 

[bruinsfan1970]

It seems whenever these two teams meet it is usually low scoring. I am hoping this game will be HIGH scoring for the Bruins. Let's keep playing the winning style of hockey and keep creeping higher in the standings.

 

[Gordoff]

Here's to hoping that the Bruins help to put those Sens back in their place...Last!
Boston 4 Ottawa 1

 

[ORR2Sanderson2ORR]

Lets make it 5 in a Row!
Go Bruins
Go Bruins

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Let’s show this team that the Boston Bruins of 2017-2018 are a much better team that lost to the Sens in last year’s playoffs. I am like a fish out of water without Bruins hockey to watch , let’s get going again .

Nooooo

Totally expected after the break.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Here's hoping the B's can pick up where they left off before the break.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

So any word on Krejci or McQuaid ? Are they expected to play against the Sens ?

 

[Bruinaura]

This is one of my all time favorite highlights against Ottawa. Karlsson the pylon. Bonus points for the music in the video

 

[Bruinaura]

So any word on Krejci or McQuaid ? Are they expected to play against the Sens ?

I haven't heard anything, but I doubt either will play. Krejci is on IR but I don't know what the effective date was, or when he's eligible to come off. And I doubt Cassidy wants to put McQuaid back in until someone else needs to sit. (I say this even though I'm a fan of McQuaid.)

So what all this means is that they will probably both play.

[Krupp]

Just glad to see the boys play for a change.....or watch nhl.com, I mean....

Anyway they're 7 points up on Montreal in the standings. Would love to see them make it nine.

 

[Ron Quixote]

A game! Go B's!

 

[Bruinaura]

 

[Dr Hook]

That regular season record of late against them . . . I hadn't thought of it, but no wonder I've dreaded the Sens games lately. This time I think we can win. No holiday hangovers, boys!

 

[TP]

I'm scared

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Let's do this boy's.

 

[Ron Quixote]

Ugh... On a message board back in another galaxy we used to debate... err argue if 'Little David' could hang with the big boys.

I think the Ol Winesock saw the writing on the wall.
