Anyone else constantly find themselves responding to a post only to click 'Reply' and find out the thread's been locked, or is that just me?

Moving to the topic on hand, what's the over/under on even strength goals tonight? I'm thinking 0.5 might be too high.

 

[VanIsle]

Lets go secondary scoring lets go, lets go secondary scoring lets go!!!!!!

For my sanity please score a 5 on 5 goal in the first 5 minutes.

When the PK percentage falls below 100% we can perhaps then talk of sitting Carlo or Lauzon. Play exactly like we did last game, except the no goals part.

 

[CDJ]

Prediction- they will score a 5 on 5 goal

bold, i know

Top 3 picks to score a 5v5 goal tonight for Boston

1. Smith
2. Krejci
3. Ritchie

I don't know.... My profile says otherwise.

I want an entertaining game tonight. We need a good one. Flyers are hatable as always. Love what I've seen from the defense and goaltending. Hopefully the forwards follow suit. I hope Studnicka can follow up his last game. I thought he was very good. I would like to see that Ritchie/Krejci/Studnicka combination continue to get pucks to the net.

Give me some hits, a fight and a Bruins win (with a 5v5 goal) and I'll go to sleep happy.

This is the one . Bruins come away with a 4-1 win.
C.Smith with his first as a Bruin.

Flyers with no Couturier, Frost , Myers or the Ghost.

Honestly IDGAF if they score a 5 on 5 goal, how bout we just score A goal?

Pastrnak scores the other 3 from the 9th floor.

Yes. Score a goal.

Better yet, score more goals than the Flyers.

That would make my night.

It's time.

 

[wintersej]

Excited to see Zboril and Lauzon against a deeper more offensive minded team. Obviously, the Flyers are not at full strength, but a better test for the kids.

Oh, I'm not complaining, I just have impeccable timing

[PatriceBergeronFan]

It would be nice to see a fight if they are not scoring again, but Philly doesn't appear to have fighters.

Without Couturier if the Bruins cannot score 5v5 we have problems. They are still a good team, but expecting one 5v5 goal should not be unrealistic!

 

[McGarnagle]

Just throw the puck toward the net from center ice and you're sure to get a 5 on 5 goal against Carter Shart

 

[Root]

When the PK percentage falls below 100% we can perhaps then talk of sitting Carlo or Lauzon. Play exactly like we did last game, except the no goals part.

When it falls below 100% there will still be zero reason to sit either player.
