BRUINS GDT Game #62 Boston Bruins at New York Islanders. UBS Arena Elmont, NY 7:30 PM

[NeelyOrr]

The enlightenment that comes from watching other games besides just the BRUINS.
This afternoon's game Jets at 'Canes is a good example. Canes entered 3rd period with 3-0 lead.
6 minutes into the 3rd the score is now 3-3.
BRUINS don't the own the rights to blowing good leads in 3rd period.

No, but we worked on it and mastered its art creating the masterpiece it is today .

Thanks Hajj!

Thanks!! No surgery thankfully. Having an SI joint injection to hopefully relieve the pain radiating into my hip.

Thank You Betsy!

Meh, just cut to the chase and go bionic...

Jets win 5-3. At least the BRUINS have the decency to get at least one point when they blow the lead in the 3rd period.

I'm glad it's a 7:30 game.

If you are a Baby Boomer this was something you never forgot

What a race...and what a horse!

Secretariat, also known as Big Red, was a champion American thoroughbred racehorse who was the ninth winner of the American Triple Crown, setting and still holding the fastest time record in all three of its constituent races. He is considered by many to be the greatest racehorse of all time.

After Secretariat's death in 1989, University of Kentucky professor of veterinary science Dr. Thomas Swerczek performed the necropsy. Secretariat's heart was estimated to be about 22 pounds and was not "pathologically enlarged," Swerczek said. The average horse's heart weighs about 8.5 pounds.

It's the 50th anniversary of Secretariat's Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown victories. Here's everything you've ever wanted to know about the legend.

I'm happy for McLaughlin, as the last couple of training camps he's been among the last sent down.

Montgomery frequently staples his 4th line/young players to the bench in third periods. But he seems to handle them diplomatically.

I'm a Tortorella fan, but I saw him really tear into Bobby Brink last night, before benching him. I do feel for young players in those situations, especially when you see veterans make similar mistakes.

Secretariat was the Babe Ruth of horse racing and he validates the cliche "ya gotta have heart."

I'm glad it's a 7:30 game.

Its the weekend how about a 10:30 game with a 10:40 puck drop?

 

[lopey]

I want these guys to start playing 60 minutes. Doesn’t have to be dominant but play smart and wit urgency. Get ready for playoffs

 

[Babajingo]

You heard it here first. Gryz to Minn for a bag of pucks and skate sharpener.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

“General soreness” aka we need to see what some other guys can do before the trade deadline

Yeah saw that too and thought the same, especially since Brink had scored earlier for this pea-shooter offence without Konecny.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Good luck with the injection, then!

Best wishes @Alicat ! Speedy recovery so you are back in our lineup before the playoffs!

MIL came over for dinner.

I did a frozen pot roast on low in the instant pot and it came out like shoe leather, so I had to pinch hit.

Thinking it’ll give the B’s a little more power tonight.

Since that video didn't actually cover why Tortorella was freaking out, I had to go and watch the highlights to see what the issue actually was.

I don't want to fully justify Torts' reaction. Screaming "GET THE f*** OFF THE ICE! f***!" at a guy directy following a goal is pretty brutal stuff. But in the lead-up to that goal, Brink was "defending" somewhere between egregiously lazy and like a guy who had literally never played hockey before. Not sure I've ever seen anything resembling it 5 on 5.

He was the out high forward and for whatever reason, just chooses to essentially stand in place inside the hashmarks which clearly f***s up the entire system with the four other skaters. It was about as close to throwing the puck in your own net as you can get without actually doing it.

I'm done with Gryz...he was supposed to be the low cost replacement for Krug who could skate it out of the zone and manage the power play...yea, those didn't work out so good...every team knows you dump it into his corner and physically hold him off the puck. It's embarrasing watching it sometimes.

It's embarrasing watching it sometimes.

And even when he has the puck, he is obsessed with trying to make cute plays. He has the polar opposite of the defenseman's mentality.

I have said this forever. Why not try him on forward? You can see he has some level of high-end skill. See what he can do on wing. Am I offering this as any sort of "solution" to anything? No. But how has it not been figured out he can't be counting on in really any spot in the back end? Just so, so many weaknesses.

This is the GDT. After today normal GDT's will be back. I need to get a few more things packed before I have a minor hip procedure next week that will put an end to any lifting and bending for a few weeks.

Healing Blessings Alicat!!!

 

[The don godfather]

Bruins will show it today no more pepto bismol type games. I'm opening my doritos right now. We got this jvr on the scoresheet. Book it !

 

[Ladyfan]

I hope they play well tonight and no one gets injured.

Hey Steve, I hope the Bruins win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[BMC]

DROP THE f***ING PUCK ALREADY!!!

 

[Mione134]

In the wise words of @TP

I'm scared.

DS asking for the skate sharpener may nix the trade.
