Let's get a streak going Bruins! No dirty Neale or PK. Brad won't be as distracted and he is hot right now.

 

[ODAAT]

Love to see the boys go home having taken 7 of 8 points on this roadie. Feeling Blidh pops the winner tonight, no clue why

 

[Orrfourever]

I was looking at the t.v listing and doesn't look like I'll be watching this game either.
damit man!!!

Stupid Spostsnet..


Go Bruins!!!

 

[jdz]

Erm is that Matt Irwin...THE Matt Irwin?

How is he leading them with a +15?

He is a dumpster fire on NHL ice.

 

[Greek_physique]

Looks like we could see Morrow / Liles back in the lineup tonight.

Go Bruins!!!

That is frustrating. Fortuante to have had the NESN feed in SL as well as tonight in Nashville on SN in Atlantic Canada. No idea why it is different in your market.

 

[Sharp Shooting Neely]

Chance for Liles and Morrow to pick up Quader and Chiller if they can't go. B's have shown a signs of having good thing going and need to build on it tonight, just as Marshy said after the SL effort. Don't take the Preds lightly simply because they are struggling a little this year.

Let's go Bruins!

 

[Ladyfan]

Ew...slimy Mike Riberio..once a Hab always a Hab

Please win

BTW...I don't post this every GDT but should.... thanks Fenway !!!


HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

Another ****ing 8PM start

He is a dumpster fire on NHL ice.

Those whole TWO games in a Boston uniform surely proved that.

He is a dumpster fire on NHL ice.

The change in system and roles has served him well. He had a real hard time knowing when to push out of the box+1 when the puck went behind the net. Some guys get it, other don't. I wouldn't change our defensive zone tactics for the world, the box+1 though boring, is very effective.

Go Bruins!!!

The problem isn't Sportsnet but Rogers. The basic rule for blackouts is that if the game is shown on a channel that you can have in your area, then the game will be blacked out on Centre Ice. So right now you need all Sportsnet channnels except for the World one or whatever it's called (East, Ontario, West, Pacific, One, 360), plus TSN channels for some local Canadian games, plus that stoopid FX Canada channel as well as of course CBC and possibly CityTV or something. If the game is not shown on any of these channels, then you will get it on Centre Ice. I hate it but that's the way it is and I don't think it's going to change anytime soon.

It's in Nashville...

Go Bruins!!!

The St Louis game, even though said it was on SN wasn't, hopefully this one is for me.

Time for a streak as the Bruins longest has been a 3 game winning streak 3 times this year, time for at least a 5 gamer.

8 points too, good for him turning his career around after a rough year here.

 

[BMC]

It's in Nashville...

I know that but I don't care. That extra hour just kills me the next day

 

[VanIsle]

Move out West.

All games are between 4 and 7 pm.

NFL is 10 am, 1 pm, and the late game at 5:20.

But honestly when I go out east it is so weird for all the games and their start times, I guess it is just me and my West cost bias.

Speaking of the West, the Chargers located to L.A. today.

 

[Ladyfan]

I know that but I don't care. That extra hour just kills me the next day

I don't mind if it is an away game as I am home in my jammies.

The late home games (like playoff games...remember them ?) are killers as it is so late when I get home

 

[BsEuphoria]

Coach swap?

Show me something great tonight Pasta, I'm waiting patiently. Ok, let me clarify, show me a hatty!

 

[Southiechickie]

Anyone have a crystal ball and predict the lines tonight? Especially the forwards, does Claide stick with what worked in STL or rotate in Hayes for Blidh?
Really wish they would call another kid up from PVD just to give a spark!!

Kills me too and I'm 26 going on 27...
