Quick and dirty. Best way to be.

....and really, who wouldn't want a Krejci sweater?

The parallel of Ryan Miller as The Grinch is entirely too prophetic. Perfection.

 

[SerenityRick]

Damn that Bruins injured list is depressing

 

[Dellstrom]

Please, NO INJURIES.

Just stay away from Scott if he plays. He's a liability whenever he's on the ice, makes Campbell look like Stamkos. Get our stars off right away as soon as he steps on.

 

[Kate08]

Tuukka as the Elf on the Shelf is so perfect it's creepy.

 

[TP]

I'm scared


When the hell did Paille get a concussion?

 

[VanIsle]

Time to move the Yeti up a line and Marchand down one.
He is starting to get on my nerves with his poor play and moronic antics.

What kind of world do we live in where the Bruins have the 10th best powerplay?

He is starting to get on my nerves with his poor play and moronic antics.

“He’s a young player still and sometimes you have those seasons,†Chiarelli said. “He’s fought the puck a little bit, he’s been kind of at wit’s end. You can see the level of frustration. I go back over his last six or seven games and I’ve liked his play. He’s getting his legs back and his hands back. It’s just about looking at it in an 82-game schedule and figuring it out over the course of the schedule and being patient. Maybe he showed little signs of impatience along the way, but I think his game’s coming around.â€

Did buffalo move Ott to wing? Not surprising I suppose, they don't do much right.

Clode

 

[KrejciMVP]

I'm calling Marchand with a huge game tonight. Go Bruins!!!

 

[Paddington]

The Miller Grinch pic made me laugh, probably harder than I should have.

Even after being traded, Vanek will somehow still get a hat trick vs the Bruins tonight.

 

[11MilesPerJohan]

Holy God, Bruins...please don't lose this game.

 

[ODAAT]

Wondering out loud how many posts it will take the first fan to mention the absolute need for a goon to be called up for tonight`s tilt

B`s take er 4-2

 

[TCL40]

I loved that hockey rules spot when it came out-it makes me sad though-no Savvy.

I hope the Providence/Boston Bruins can pull out the win. I think the veterans have got to really pull this team through the injuries.

Not including the OP.....15

He usually plays wings (or he did in Dallas) but he is good at faceoffs so takes the draws and than shifts to his position.

Will be at the game tonight, hope the PBruins can pull it out

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Call up Tyler Randell

 

[Fire Sweeney]

What kind of world do we live in where the Bruins have the 10th best powerplay?

They have by far the fewest PP opportunities so it easily can go up or down a few ranks in the next few games. When you look at total PP goals, they are 23rd, only ranking ahead of mostly garbage teams, including the Dallas Stars and the legendary Tyler Seguin who unfortunately for him doesn't get to play 82 times against the likes of Winnipeg or Calgary.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Call up Tyler Randell

out with a groin pull or hammy

 

[Flannelman]

don't play down to their level.

 

[Scotto74]

longest work day ever...

Drop the puck already!
