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

[SPLBRUIN]

If Ullmark/Rask don't start playing a lot better the Bruins are in for a long night.

 

[Serpico]

When is the last time we beat the Avs. Even back when they sucked they still seemed to have our number.

 

[VanIsle]

How long has it been since the Bs were in Colorado? Carlo's family must be elated to see him play.

10/10/2019 was the last time, Bruins lost 4-2.

Man I miss the old Nordiques, Bruins always had their way.
I still remember that Ron Tugnutt game, for those who don't or wern't alive here you go all 70 saves.




Found the best youtube comment on this game ever. . . .

If anyone played the "save Tugnutt" drinking game, they died that night.

 

[Fenway]

Referees Steve Kozari (40), Conor O'Donnell (41)

[rocketdan9]

6-1 Avalanche

No. No way

Go Bruins!

 

[Dr Hook]

For 30 years at my old job I couldn't wait to retire. I have a new one now, at age 52, and honestly have every intention of working until I'm at least 67 now...I really enjoy it, and I look at my grandmother and father when they retired they really didn't do anything....I want to keep busy and I want to keep making money....If I'm blessed with my health and faculties of course.

I hear you- I am good with staying busy, just have other things to do that don't involve a job or a big paycheck. We are the same age, so I am on the young side to retire completely anyway. It won't be retirement though, just a different activity

 

[rocketdan9]

Any word on Blidh or Freddy?

 

[Fenway]

 

[weaponomega]

Predicting a wild one. 9 - 6 Avalanche.

 

[Fenway]

I will never forget this game when Bruins fans cheered Colorado and told Sinden what they thought of him.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Tonight is a bit concerning. It may be very ugly.

 

[Greek_physique]

AV's are strong 5on5, although I believe we can keep up with them...we just have to limit penalties or they'll kill us on the PP.

I'm more scared about Reilly playing these guys...I'd bench him for Vaak...

 

[Gee Wally]

Avs got a helluva team.
If we can get out with 1 point I’ll be happy.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

It begins...

"dA rEfS!"

What begins ? my predicting a 6-1 Colorado edge in PP's

Its better than you calling the Bruins P****** every 5 minutes

Never called them p******, but ok.

This board is notorious for complaining about officiating.

 

[Ladyfan]

Just hit 37.

You might be right about 35. I've just been pushing the limits a bit lol

holy hell that puts me at 22 when I joined. Just a baby!

37 is SO young !

The Bruins have lost three straight in Colorado. They've averaged giving up 5.33 goals per game. Their PK success rate in those games was only 50%. The Bruins have averaged over 5 minutes of shorthanded time per game. I think special teams will be the determining factor in tonight's game. The Bruins need to convert on their own PPs while also limiting the amount of time they give the Avalanche on their PP.

^ The altitude comment from above may have some merit. The Bruins have scored 5 combined goals in the first periods and 3 total goals in periods two and three. To the contrary, the Avalanche have scored 3 goals in period ones and a combined 13 goals in periods two and three.

Linus Ullmark has never faced the Avalanche in his career. However, his road stats this year: 6-3-0 ; 2.36 GAA ; .930 Sv%

To be fair many other boards complain too. Are you staying up for this one ?

I hope the Bs play well, and no one gets hurt.

I am sending positive energy to Linus.

I'll take it!

 

[13Hockey]

Avs are due for a loss/bad game
Hope it’s tonight

There 18-1-1 in there last 20
15-0-0 last 15 at home
7 game win streak

 

[Ladyfan]

So, who is going to try and stay up for this one ?

@Gee Wally, you have been staying up are you going to make this one ?

I don't see any reason to be playing Clifton over Vaak. He or Reilly can play RD, hell Gryz can even do it.

 

[Orr Fourever]

i saw the avs live this year and there is no way the bruins can keep up with them, just hope kadri doesnt ko anyone

the mighty Habs took the Avs to ot last Saturday.
