Pre-Game Talk: GAME 40 1/26 10:08 PM - THE BEAR looks for a Rocky Mountain High - TNT, SN, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

I’ve mentioned this before but I swear some people are actively rooting against this team. It’s almost as if they get some sort of satisfaction from berating them. It’s very strange.

Defense mechanisms can be quite powerful

I'm a pessimist when it comes to sport - comes from the local team I supported as a kid being the worst in its league - so I often don't have high hopes on game days, although I've generally become more bullish over time with the Bruins. But a game like this one, I don't expect much. Just not in my nature. At least this way sometimes I get pleasantly surprised. And I like to think I'm still open-minded - it's not that I think Boston can't beat Colorado, it's just unlikely.

Ahh, you have Chicago Cubs syndrome haha. I am always optimistic with the Bruins because in my lifetime, they have never had a truly terrible team. There have been some not so good ones over the years and a few playoff misses, but it has been pretty remarkable that the Bruins that I know have never been bad like Buffalo is bad right now.

If you don't get your hopes up, you'll never be disappointed !

I approve this comment. I hate going into gameday threads and reading people just writing the Bruins off because they are playing a good team.

I don’t get it. I noticed when that happens the Bruins usually win though so maybe it’s a good omen.

I'm not expecting a 'W' but neither was I a week ago when they played a very good Nashville team, granted that was a home game.

I'm not writing off the B's tonight as they seem to play up or down to opposing team's skill level, which isn't exactly a great team trait to have but... we'll see late tonight.

I think Bruins match up well against Colorado. Bruins win 4-3

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Jesus. 10:08 is a tough start time.

 

[BruinsJoe]

Tough one to come...

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Pretty sure 90% of hockey fans bitch about officiating so it’s not really this board specifically being notorious for it. Maybe if the officiating wasn’t so terrible in general the complaints would be non existent.

I would take terrible right now. Its the vast inconsistencies that drive most fans mad.......and the refs as well I think.
NHL needs to simplify things and make the refs job easier. We might see more consistency from minute to minute that way.
Far too much grey area.

I got a good nap in. My brother is getting Wendy's for us. Get to watch with him which is one benefit of this start, win or loss.

Forgive an Avs lurker. Just popped by to say i was blown away reading Marchand has outscored Crosby the last 5 years. Mack really looks up to him as well. Loved him giving the Hurripretenders twitter grief.

Alls i ask is when he lines up Makar on the forecheck tonight, to not put *all* the mustard on it like last time (100% clean hit, but cost Cale 12 games). Brad is built like a brick shithouse and it helps nobody feeding NYR hysteria with a second Fox Norris.

I wouldnt be too worried. Marchand appears to be playing hurt.

Hate to say this , but true GW

Dave's Double I hope....

Awful feeling...but very true....expect nothing....sometimes get something...

You got the beers chilling I’m hoping!

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Imagine thinking this game is a 7pm game up until just now, I mean a person would have to be really stupid to think that.

What kind of dummy would think that up until 6pm the night of the game?

Only an idiot would not remember this game was the start of their road trip.

A total maroon.

 

[lopey]

Won’t be watching this one. Way to late for me.
