St. Louis has been red-hot of late and has climbed back into Wild Card contention in the West. Cooled off a bit with the OTL in Brooklyn, but the Blues have been playing well.

This will not be an easy game. They're starting to put things together and Binnington has been outstanding in goal.

Allen is reported to be the starter for tonight's tilt. Hopefully that works in the Bruins favor.

Need to see something out of this team.

Actually nervous for this one. You can't lose to this years Flyers AND Blues.

Allen, despite his overall numbers, has a 2.21 GAA and .925 SV% on the road. We’ve had a lot of blowouts at home where we just didn’t show up, causing his numbers to look way worse than he’s actually played. Good luck tonight though guys. Boston is one of my favorite Eastern teams to watch.

Also why is Gryz not playing? I know the about the Schenn rumors and he’s supposedly a piece coming back.

Not sure if we should ever trust Jaffe again :sarcasm:, but:



didn't they smoke Detroit in November and Pastrnak had a hattrick?

not sure that math adds up

unless he is just picking individual games out

oops I quoted the wrong post, pretend I quoted the other Jaffe tweet

We have quite a few NHL quality defenseman right now, so Cassidy looks to be rotating guys out to keep them fresh. Gryz is a solid player.

Healthy scratch, probably to give John Moore some playing time

That’s completely fair. I had just seen a lot of you guys say he’s been one of your best dmen this year, so I was a little shocked.

Also, we’re going with 11F/7D tonight

You also have to factor in Cassidy's undying loyalty to Kevan Miller.

Just win. Enough of these lost points against basement teams.
And some fans think we are 2 pieces away from being a contender. I wouldn't give up a single piece for a rental.

Hockey trade or bust. Long and short term goals in mind. It can happen. Just have to pick the right partners.

Going to miss this one as I’ll be at MSG for Rangers/Hawks.

Would be nice to check in and see a big offensive night. Looking forward to reading the analysis here on the way home.

Maybe with STL in town we’ll get a late night deal a la 2011? Anyone else remember when the media was told to hang around late one night postgame? We were getting hyped that the long awaited Kaberle deal was finally coming true. This place was pretty let down when it turned out to “only” be Chris Kelly. Little did we know...

Hoping for a good performance out of Rask tonight.

Seems like goaltending has gone from our biggest strength to our biggest weakness, with both goalies allowing 3 or 4 goals on 18 shots every other night.

Grizz was 2nd in TOI for the Bruins the last 2 games if that tells you anything. He's not being sat for performance.

Some think he is being sat tonight because a deal is imminent but it could just as easily be keeping guys fresh. From a performance standpoint honestly Chara could sit after last night but given his status that's pretty unlikely to happen.
