Should be another 2 points. Vancouver is pretty cruddy, but then again so is Buffalo. Glad the Bs have had a good little rest.

Bergy had a 4pt game early against the Canucks and he will continue is Red hot streak and lead the Bruins to another Victory in Vancouver!

Go Bruins!!!


Seems like the canucks are ready to dismantle. Ill be watching Vanek and Tanev as both have been rumored to possibly being on their way out of Canuck-ville.

If Sweeney is interested, no better time than now.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

well a 10 pm start.....

is this the last late start of the season?

 

[ORR2Sanderson2ORR]

That never happens lol

Bill Lindsay was a panther for the morning skate and then switched locker-rooms as he became a Canadien and played against his ex-teammates, that same night.

 

[TCB]

Wow. He almost sounds ready to crumple to the ground.

Easy.....Not Bergeron. Hes to Hot to Crumple. Seek and Destroy!

WHY would a trade happen... isn't it protocol to scratch the player involved in a trade?

Why scratch him when he can just switch locker-rooms?

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Why scratch him when he can just switch locker-rooms?

nobody here wants Vanek, the discussion is more the Rangers, rather than Vancouver

I wonder if some of the vets will regale the young guys with their great memories of Game 7 in that building, inspiring them to make memories of their own this year?

Markstrom has a, shall we say, interesting, mask.
