More than anything else, I just want the guys to get in and out of this game with NO INJURIES

Worried like hell about cheapshots right now

 

[sooshii]

Bs better bring it tonight. Flyers are on a 4-game L streak. Got beat by Pitt last night.

Here we go

Here we go!

Giving them as well as taking them....lets get through this one suspension free as well.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

So what's the deal with Backes out? Acciari just going to sub in for him?

Marchand -- Riley Nash -- Pastrnak
DeBrusk -- Krejci -- Rick Nash
Heinen -- Wingels -- Gionta
Schaller -- Kuraly -- Acciari

?

We know there won't be a penalty, let alone a suspension.

Soft roster tonight, hopefully the Flyers aren't looking for trouble.

Haven’t heard of any call ups so looks like it

 

[BruinsFan1990]

Thankfully we have Philly on a back to back, but they are starting to get desperate for wins.

Going to be a tough one.

Would like them to recall Czarnik and give him the 3rd line spot. Move Wingels to the 4th and sit Acciari.

I like your avatar.

That C group, yikes.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

hopefully we play better D than last game.
Get the early lead on these guys they played last nite.

 

[TCB]

Two out of the last Three games the Bruins have sent the opposing starting goalie too the locker room for an early shower. I have a feeling after tonight its going to be Three of the last four.

Lets GoLets Go

 

[Dueling Banjos]

That C group, yikes.

Nash will stare them out of the building.

[BruinsFanSince94]

It must be a maintenance day or something. I assume if he wasn't playing tonight, they would have played someone like Heinen up and made a re-call.

 

[Sheppy]

Watch out for Gudas. He will be targeting guys all game.

Would like to see Lone Wolf sub in for this one.

 

[TCL40]

I assume Marchand is still playing (no call up).

Philly games are almost always entertaining.

I think this will be another high scoring game-hopefully with the Bruins scoring more than Philly.

Hope nobody gets hurt.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

I know it’s just practice but imagine this team without BM63 right now. Lol

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Watch out for Gudas. He will be targeting guys all game.

Would like to see Lone Wolf sub in for this one.

Looks like McQuaid may very well be back in there according to the pre-game practice. Carlo/Holden splitting time on the top pair so I assume one or the other will go.

 

[Gee Wally]

Welp, I’m gonna miss this one. We lost power at 8:00 last night. Electric company says best case tomorrow back on. Meanwhile it’s frighten cold

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

 

[alg363636]

No Bergeron No MacAvoy No Backes....


No problem?

GO bs!!!!

So do I. I watched the Flyers - Pens game last night and thought the Flyers looked terrible . Even with all the missing bodies the Bruins are a superior team in every way . Bruins win 5-3 .

 

[Sheppy]

I have a bad feeling about this one tonight. I hope I'm wrong though...
