Canes usually play us tough for some reason, but I think the Bruins win 4-2.

Lets go Bs!

 

[toasterjam]

sick of playing bad vs canes, lets keep it going, end on a high note before holidays

Vatrano gets another goal tonight???

 

[alg363636]

Ugh, I hate games against Carolina. They're always so boring and there's like no scoring and then we lose. I'm forever scarred by that game (two?) years ago when we didn't get a shot on goal for 17 minutes. Possibly the worst game I've witnessed.

Well, go Bs anyway! I assume Dobby starts - he played for the Canes right? Maybe that'll be good mojo for him.

 

[TMac21]

I'm guessing Rask goes again leading into the break.

 

[BMC]

If all goes well I will miss this game to watch my nephew's HS basketball game.

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

Little pre-game hockey amusement as you get set to tune in for the contest in Carolina.

A small sample of what can stir excitement for hockey fans in Canada. Though Brick should adopt this method of travel as he visits those home made rinks around Boston in his annual best back yard rink contest. Woud it turn heads at a local Dunkin's outlet like it did at a Tim's outlet in Canada? Betting that it absolutely would. Enjoy the attached clip provided by CTV news.

Time to get on that much needed run Bruins. Carry over the good stretches of play from last night into tonight.

With Carolina also playing last night wonder if the plan is for both teams to start the back ups? Could perhaps role out Rask again with the break in front of them. No matter who does dress and or play, let's pick up the 2 points before heading home.

Let's Go Bruins!

Me too!

I can't remember who the B's played last week, but I'll never forget that pitiful game for the sheer ineptness of both teams.

Missed the game last night...looking forward to seeing Vats and Pasta. Team must look much quicker and skilled.

We won the last game..but it was in a shootout...

Let's go Bruins - win, celebrate, home to your families on a high note.

How many games will the referee get for pushing Frankie around like that?

 

[Ladyfan]

My daughter just got home. Comfortable clothes on...chores can wait until tomorrow.

Please win tonight !

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[Gator Mike]

I'm gonna guess that whoever put this video together was a Whalers fan.

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, the Bruins scored four times in the 3rd period and won 6-5 in regulation. I have a friend who was a Whalers fan who called this the 2nd-lowest point in the history of the franchise, behind only moving to Carolina.

 

[ashnathan]

Theyll play Dobbi, got the win last time vs Canes. I never like Canes games, always low scoring and boring AF. And its the Canes. And I want Hanifan, and and and.

 

[Bruinaura]

we better not draw any penalties tonight... Our #29 PP vs their #1 PK
