Pre-Game Talk: Game 37 - THE BEAR visits Washington - NESNplus , ESPN+, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[PatriceBergeronFan]

One top 4 defenseman tonight, with Gryz being a #4. This could be a long night if the Bruins can't play a very strong system game the way NYI does.

How does Tinordi not play tonight? If Frederic is unable to play we are left with fragile Miller and Ritchie to do it all.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

A big performance from Swayman with a subpar D in front of him, and against the Caps, might make things a little more interesting at the deadline regarding Tuukka.

That’s probably why they are going with Swayman? They want to see what they have with him right now as they really don’t know what will happen with Tuuka ?

If the D is as porous as it was against Phi then it could be a long night for Swayman, no matter how well he plays. The D corps alone are a concern, but the bottom 6 really need to be better as well in their own zone.

You have a message :-D

Just get a point and no one get hurt
Fair enough?

I'll take that.

I love the guy on the far left who just randomly stamps his foot on the canvas to add to the sound effects. He can't even fit in the beat down, but he's committed to the cause!

Road Dogg is a true professional

 

[Mione134]

Idk how Tinordi plays on his off side.

True. But it can't be any worse on his normal. He's not the greatest skater or passer. He is decent. They could of taken out Zboril if they wanted but he does give them more of an upside.

Idk. I just think he should be in the lineup

 

[nORRis8]

Bjork is a nothing player. Caps are not a game you put him in. Blidh at least will be visible bad or good lol. I like it for my entertainment value

If the League decides to replace NHL nets with soccer nets....then I would say maybe, maaaaaybe keep him.

 

[BMC]

playing a 5’7 rookieD agaianst the Caps

yikes

This is beyond stupid.

 

[BMC]

I'm actually glad to see this- I think it improves his chances of staying healthy & in the lineup

Miller may have an injury history, but I don't think fragile applies in this case.

Yeah, you don't fight with your knees!

 

[JerseyBruin]

how about Frederic dropping the mitts instead of yapping at everyone too? If this were an opponent who did tons of talking but whose gloves were stuck to his hands we`d be screaming high crimes about him.

To be fair he can't fight himself , you have to have a willing opponent . Score and game situation can also dictate keeping the gloves on.

 

[TSBruins13]

Why on god's green earth is Blidh potentially playing tonight. I'd rather role a man down when his line is on the ice than have him out there. He is garbage.

 

[UConn126]

This is beyond stupid.

He's not in the projected lineup that the team tweeted out, so have no fear.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

It was not intended in an insulting way, but knees are important to a hockey player and they do skate on ice. All it takes is an awkward fall during a fight or hit etc was my point. I would rather have Tinordi following Wilson around than Miller.

Yeah, you don't fight with your knees!

 

[nORRis8]

Tinordi scratched vs a very physical team, whereupon we likely be missing McAvoy physicality tonite as well.
Am I missing something?

Miller will have to take care of business himself unless Bruce scratches him as well

Cause Freddy's sick and Bjork and Stud are likely being held out for a potential trade.

Stud is playing in Prov.

Bjork is the one who has been sitting out.

 

[Therick67]

This one could be ugly, hopefully I'm wrong..

I’ve even nothing alluding to either being traded
