GDT: Game 59 7:14 PM - Bruins journey to Maple Leaf Square aka Hogtown | NESN, HNIC, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[missingchicklet]

Projected Leafs line-up tonight sans Matthews

Marleau-Kadri-Marner
Hyman-Nylander-Brown
JvR-Bozak-Kapanen
Komarov-Moore-Leivo

Rielly-Hainsey
Gardiner-Zaitsev
Dermott-Polak

Andersen starts

From Mark Masters

That's still a heck of a nice lineup of forwards even without Matthews.

That's still a heck of a nice lineup of forwards even without Matthews.

Their defense is where it begins to fall apart.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Kevan Miller likely in for McQuaid tonight.

 

[bluetib]

Auston Matthews out for tonight's game combined with last game momentum....

 

[bruins repeat time]

Kevan Miller likely in for McQuaid tonight.

I am obviously fine with this line up but so many games in so many days , please please alternate the lower 4 Defenseman to keep them fresh and feeling like part of the team. I hope I see Adam in the line up in Buffalo which is nineteen hrs after the conclusion of tonight's game .

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

That’s a solid 3rd pairing.

I wouldn't be surprised if you see Holden against Buffalo. Maybe in addition to McQuaid.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Like I predicted, Marchand has not been as good since returning from suspension. Hopefully this will be the game in which he breaks out. No excuse losing again to a Leafs team sans Matthews.

Leafs usually go after him like Vancouver did,they know they can get away with murder on him.

 

[Estlin]

Just curious, what’s cheap at ACC? Can’t imagine they’re cheap by any means

$200 Canadian each from a reseller, which is apparently not much of a markup.

 

[Chief Nine]

Thanks, pretty far from cheap in any currency . Have a great time, hope the B’s thrash them!

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Was thinking the same.

Maybe a Holden-McQ third pair?

 

[C0ach B0mbay]

Was thinking the same.

Maybe a Holden-McQ third pair?

Love this idea with 3 games in the next 4. Would love it even more if this became our strategy for the busy stretch run - even buying Chara, Mac, Carlo, Krug the odd night off.

Would be good if they could do that (assuming nobody is moved before Monday).

Also, Holden needs to learn the B’s system, which is different from what they played in NY. You want him comfortable before the playoffs.

That scares me in the playoffs ... other teams are watching for sure

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Definitely going to be an extra tough game to pull out a win.
I imagine the Leafs, without Matthews and how the standings are, will probably come out of the gate storming.
Hopefully their defense gives the Bruins some quality scoring chances, which imo should happen.

 

[22Brad Park]

I'm scared

If Bruins punish Nylander and Marner they have no chance.Them 2 without Matthews are the key for Leafs.Toronto defence is soft as any.Bruins will get some quality looks.

 

[bob27]

Last time they had a game after a three day break they didn't look so hot coming out of it. Hopefully this is addressed.

 

[JOKER 192]

Or maybe he is doing it just right. Depends what he REALLY wants...

They both look like they're thinking " so never then "

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Let's send a pre-playoffs message to the Leafs with a dominating win. Please refrain from giving up the first goal tonight...win this one for my sister and seat-mate LadyFan...it will speed her recovery.
Here we go Here we go

 

[rickizbruin]

Heading down to the game to cheer the boys on. Hoping for blow out so i can sit back and not have to listen to leaf fans who can be annoying. GO B's !!!

Good luck!

 

[Ladyfan]

Will be there with my wife tomorrow night. I think I have to go sans jersey as the last time we went, she and her drunken brother and my Habs buddy all got in to the Loose Moose after the game. I got barred. I think the Lucic jersey pissed the bouncer off.

For you and anyone else going be sure to cheer loud for our boys and have a blast.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

I have the flu and my wife has quarantined me in our bedroom where there is no TV, can someone PM me a reputable free alternative that would allow me to watch the game on my laptop. Unfortunately, NESN to Go is not supported by my cable company Charter.

Thanks
