Pre-Game Talk: GAME 62 - 8:08 PM - THE BEAR returns to Portage and Main - NESN, ESPN+, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[nORRis8]

Should be a good one unless the officiating ruins it.
Watched the Sabres/Pens last night. If you're just going to stand there with a whistle and never call penalties then get off the freakin' ice.
Horrible officiating.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

In Ullmark's lone career start against the Jets (in Winnipeg,) he got the win and stopped 42 of 44 shots.

 

[Alicat]

Go Linus!!!

 

[Ludwig Fell Down]

One of the highlights of the NHL calendar for me. My favorite team visits my second favorite team. Looking forward to the game.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

I will have to assume they play Jake?
Do we have enough bodies on the trip incase they last minute safety scratch him?

 

[loosemoose]

Please Jack Studnicka, show us something, anything.

 

[22Brad Park]

Big oppourtinity for Studnicka. This is it!

would be nice to come back to Boston with Dillon...

Caps are suddenly heating back up.

B’s could catch the Leafs for 3rd or fall to WC2.

Interesting end to the season upcoming.

Pens played the Blues last night, no?

 

[Sheppy]

would be nice to come back to Boston with Dillon...

He's been an absolute horse for Winnipeg. Wanted him for a few years.

[Ladyfan]

Please win tonight and do not get hurt.

Hey Steve, I hope the Bruins win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Don’t know what to expect tonight Friday night in the Peg, last game before the trade deadline. Hope the boys have more energy than me, it’s been a long week. Give Linus some support. Stud’s last stand to prove he belongs?
Here we go here we go

 

[eightspokedb]

PAREE played....GO BRUINS!!!

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

while we are at it. no way foligno should be in there ahead of blidh going forward.

not gonna dig up the exact numbers, but Blidh-Nosek-Lazar this year have basically had a 40/60 shot attempt ratio, ie they are giving up a lot more attempts than they are creating.

Foligno-Nosek-Lazar on the other hand have basically had a 60/40 shot attempt ratio, ie the opposite results and that line still gets a lot of D-zone starts so having positive possession stats is pretty good...means they are getting it out of the zone pretty regularly (even if last game they had a rough one).

I know people don't want to believe it, but Foligno has been a boost to that line.

Blasphemy!

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

pretty surprised they aren't sitting Jake. Makes me think there's no traction on moving him. Plus you'd think if he was part of a deal for Lindholm then Jake would be sitting too.

I'm glad Sweeney waited this out because it definitely helped his value, but I don't feel super comfortable going into the playoffs with a guy who wants out playing on the top line. He has been a good soldier this year, but the playoffs really test your will to win and you want guys who are all-in.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

Blasphemy!

it honestly surprised me
