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

[Dennis Bonvie]

I’ve even nothing alluding to either being traded

Donny didn't mention it to you?

 

[Sheppy]

Blidh might very well be the worst player in the NHL.

 

[BMC]

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

Are you referring to Tinordi?

Ahcan

 

[EXTRAS]

Go swaymannnnn

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Just want to make note that during Cassidy's media availability today, he didn't rule out Rask being available for Saturday's game. Cassidy said they will check with Tuukka tomorrow night.

 

[LouJersey]

The sad part about those forwards is the only person injured/sick that would be in there is a 4th liner.

 

[LouJersey]

Kind of surprised by this move and not. Maybe Bruce feels like we'll be under fire again like the PHI and feels like Swayman can handle that type of onslaught better (see career at Maine)

Swayman showcase.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Swayman showcase.

Takes this nonsense back.

 

[ON3M4N]

Swayman showcase.

Listen Lou, you and I have been on the same page for a decent run here....don't ruin a good thing lol

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

gotta figure Bjork is still out in case a deal happens.

 

[nORRis8]

Butch conceding this one?

"Down by 4 and kicking a field goal on a 1st and go on the 5 yard line with a minute left" type of thinking?

 

[Mione134]

#SwayDay part deaux!

 

[Gee Wally]

Swayman showcase.

 

[BMC]

Ahcan

OK, I wasn't sure.

 

[Sheppy]

Prices were too high

 

[tremha]

Prices were too high

do you honestly believe Bjork has trade value?

 

[ON3M4N]

do you honestly believe Bjork has trade value?

If he didn't would Boston be holding him out of the line-up? NJD had interest in him and I'm sure other GM's do as well. He's actually a guy I think would benefit from a fresh start. He'll be another one of those "we let young talent go to early" players.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

one game without McAvoy was doable, but I'm worried about this one. The Caps will exploit his absence.

 

[Sheppy]

do you honestly believe Bjork has trade value?

Not really, honestly. 2 goals in his last 50 games or so...

I see a guy that skates well and tries hard but not sure his hockey IQ can keep up. If he is going to be a 3/4 line grinder he is going to have to be a little more physical and stronger in puck battles IMO

 

[mar2kbos]

Capitals are not Philly, and they are coming off a bad road trip. Will be a tough one

 

[ON3M4N]

I guess the good news is over the last 10 games it looks like WSH has been a meh as Boston offensively lol

Team​	SF/60​	SA/60​	GF/60​	GA/60​
Boston Bruins​	33.5​	29.8​	2.9​	2.7​
Washington Capitals​	26.2​	28.5​	2.9​	2.9​

Hopefully these stats are not considered "advanced" but if they are, they can be moved to the advanced stats thread

 

[Fenway]

We got tonight - I rubbed Ben's bear head for luck

 

[analyser]

Frederic might be so so as a hockey player but don’t think he is afraid of anyone.

Not afraid but not necessarily smart.
