BRUINS GDT GAME 64 7:37 PM - The Bruins welcome the NHL's best team - Tampa - NBCSN, SN360, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[sarge88]

Oh good, Marc Joannette is refereeing tonight.

So the best we can hope for is a C+ game from them.

 

[Ladyfan]

Tampa’s goals per game is hilariously high

I’ll be there tomorrow night. First time back in the building as an employee or patron since August.

Welcome back !

I will be there. A win tonight would be really sweet.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[Sheppy]

This is going to be a doozy

 

[SPV]

Should be a great game, wish Pasta was healthy for it. I'm curious to see how we measure up without him; I'm thinking we are going to need really good health in a potential playoff matchup.

Must watch TV tonight!!

probably since you found that avatar

Ha, good on.
Had to click on it to see exactly who it was. Should have known.

It could be much worse at least.

I hope the Bruins play aggressive like last game. Bring the playoff tempo and energy.

Watch out for Pacquette.

Game 7 is still the best game I've ever watched in my life.

I try to hate you guys, but I just can't. Hope tonight is a fun one.

 

[BMC]

Tampa's due for a stinker.

I get that they're good but I'm sick of people fawning all over them. It reeks of the 2011 Canucks to be honest.

And we all know what happened to them

 

[MetM]

Good the game is played on the ice because on paper they are crushing the B's !

 

[Blowfish]

Line up?

I agree it was one of the best games I've ever seen. Even the officiating was top level, I think there was only one or two penalties called the entire game. A lot of people think 1-0 games are boring but that's not true, they can be incredibly exciting.

Believe it or not, there were zero penalties called.

Tampa Bay Lightning - Boston Bruins - May 27th, 2011

Hence the "Daddy Campbell" conspiracy nutjobs (most of whom never watched the game) who say it was a fix for the Bruins (who had the worst PP and best PK of the playoffs). I always ask those types to point out a single play in the game that should have been called a penalty, and always get *crickets*.

Better than Rooney and hoping for a D- game.

 

[Boston Bandit]

TB really has no weaknesses and is just unbelievably good. I'm not sure if anyone has watched their recent games, but they are basically almost unstoppable now. I will be very happy if we come out with 1 point. If we somehow come out with 2 points, I will be doing summersaults in my living room. Go Bruins!

 

[weaponomega]

This Tampa team has no weakness. They have great goaltending, defense, offensive depth and elite scorers. This will be a massive test for the B's.

 

[The don godfather]

Ok you know the drill I'm volcanic hot. Drumroll please Coyle gets on the board with an assist. Book it.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Line up?

Nothing yet, but should be out soon. Players who didn't skate yesterday were Bergeron and Acciari but both are back at practice today. So if I was a betting man:

Marchand -- Bergeron -- Heinen
DeBrusk -- Krejci -- Johansson
Nordstrom -- Coyle -- Backes
Kuraly -- Acciari -- Wagner

Still holding out hope that Cehlarik/Kuhlamn sub in (which would mean Acciari is out because they were both Emergency Callup's). Slot Nordstrom down to the 4th line LW, Kuraly to C and then figure it out between PC/KK for 3rd line duties.

 

[Boston Bandit]

There should be no complaining tonight if the B's can't beat this team and that the Bruins suck, blah, blah, blah....

There is the Tampa Bay Lightning and then there is the rest of the NHL. That is how well this team is constructed and playing right now. I will be happy with anything to Bruins can do against them...

I'm sure you could have found a ticky tack slash, hook, or trip if you were looking hard enough, but certainly nothing egregious went by. It was just a well played game by both teams.

That whole series was fun as shit, and Game 7 was just the cherry on top.

 

[Alicat]

The fishbowl returns.

Noel Acciari is tough as nails.

 

[Gordoff]

Rooney is such a ****. I used to believe that he was "that way" because he wanted to show his impartiality but now I pretty much think that he hates the B's organization for another reason that we will never find out about unless he writes a book after he retires. Wish he would start that book right NOW!

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Noel Acciari is tough as nails.

Kuraly Cage Face in Full Effect

Acciari pots a goal tonight then.

 

[TaroTsujimoto]

The Lightning are playing back to back and seem due for a loss. If Bergeron has a good game (hasn't been so good lately) I say we win this.

Don't get me wrong....I hope the B's roll, but if the B's are eliminated, TB is on my short list of teams I won't mind seeing win the cup.

 

[ODAAT]

This game could break the interwebz by tomorrow

If the B`s lose, fans lined up to bash DS for not doing enough to the point that the B`s just lost to a team who is playing their 3rd in 4th nights or


B`s play well, earn 2 pts, fans immediately forget the Bolts playing 3rd in 4th nights screaming something about Duckboats
