GDT: Game 57 - BRUINS at Calgary | 2/19 4:07 PM | NESN, NHLN (US), 98.5 WBZ-FM

I'm going to be at work for most of this. Not sure I have the willpower to avoid checking the score before I get home to watch it on DVR.

Chicken Little at it again

Any reservations I may have had go right out the window when Haggs' uncanny analysis predicts trouble ahead.

. . . and to think I was worried. lol.

Top rated defense in the NHL. Top rated PK in the NHL. Top 5 in offense. Top three in most every power ranking. A ridiculous winning stretch since November. The Bs going on a stretch of several games where they are not looking as dominant after going almost three months of being the best team in hockey. Every time Haggerty opens his bloated donut encrusted mouth I wonder if he has ever followed full seasons of hockey before. "Blowhard" is somehow far too weak of a word to describe that idiot.

Didn’t realize the game started at 4:00 thanks for the info ,would have missed it.

4pm game? Yuck. I’ll be sleeping probably.

I'm also going to the game tomorrow. The last time I saw the Bruins play in Calgary was when a streaker climbed over the glass into the penalty box and instead of exciting through the door he climbed over the glass, hit the ice and slipped and knocked himself out. For his 15 minutes of fame they kept the camera on him while they worked on him and the cops arrested him. The poor bugger had it all showing on the scoreboard for all to see the whole time.

This one?

Streaker at NHL game will face charges

I googled "Calgary Boston streaker", and...wow, folks in Calgary have a LOT of streakers.

 

[Krupp]

Glad I'll get to see this one. Of all of the Canadian teams, Calgary and Ottawa are the only two I don't dislike. I gotta believe Cassidy got these guys dialed in for this one

I agree with him that the D coverage has been piss poor for atleast the last two games. We were able to fix it in Calgary but it got away from us in Vancouver. Not time to get worried but it's something the coaches need to fix. Also the schedule is tough as hell coming up, so if they're still searching for D consistency throughout that could bite them in the ass.

Am I missing something?[/QUOTE

It had a Post Game sticky when first created instead of Pre Game. Thought maybe given last game we were just gonna say f it and assume the L and start complaining early LOL

One of the few schleps that has to work today. I'm not in retail or medical so I should be OFFFFFFFFF

 

[DarrenBanks56]

It's a statutory holiday here in Canada, but like you I am one of the few working today. But I do get to bank whatever hours I work, so I may just keep them for the day after the Bruins win the cup.

Calgary likes to increase the chipiness factor at home...may see a few fights today.

I'm scared

I'm curious to see who hides from McQuaid tonight

 

[TCB]

I have a feeling, the intensity meter is going to be sky-high for this one. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a tilt or two.

McQuaid leveled Tkachuk twice last meeting with no-response and Ferland was playing very chippy throughout. Add this too the fact that the Bruins are coming of their worst loss of the season and the Flames are fighting for their playoffs life.

Buckle-up!!

 

[Sheppy]

That midget Lomberg likes to test himself too. He's been on the worse end of pretty much everything though, which looks funny. He's got stones though.

I'll be at work for this one as the game starts at 2pm here. Going to tape it, though.

Hoping for a better effort all around. The D was absolutely tragic last game... probably the worst i can remember seeing it.

Bruins win 4-1

 

[TCB]

D'awwww

Edit: I WANT A DOG LIKE THAT

Postma looks likes Borowiecki

I'm curious to see who would sit. I wonder if Carlo would benefit from a game upstairs. He's played every game this year and every regular season game last year.

I also wouldn't sit McQuaid with the way the last game vs these guys went

Calgary is an interesting team home and away . They have an amazing road record while just being average at home .
Bring it !!!

I know people like to pick on new whipping boy Carlo for mistakes that are not necessarily his own but he has played decent this year. I know last game there was a shot that Rask caught and popped out of his glove which led to a goal and 2 other goals were due to Krug letting someone walk around him which created a two on one. Carlo has been decent in my eyes this year and Krug has been the one with the defensive lapses. This is too be expected since Krug has always been an offense first type of player.

I like what both Carlo and Krug bring to the team. They both have looked pretty bad at times, but on the whole have both been pretty good. Last game Carlo had a rough start, but then rebounded and played well. From what I could tell in the second and third periods, Carlo was doing a lot of covering for the mistakes of his partner and a couple of the forwards. It's easy to blame the last layer defensively, but when that last layer is trying to cover for his partner and missed assignments by forwards it's tough to look good.
