Team Linus. Time to get him back in the win column and smoke these birds

Do we know if Peeke will be here for the game on Saturday?

He was due in at 7pm per Sweeney’s press conference

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Yay

 

[TCB]

Do we know if Peeke will be here for the game on Saturday?

Not sure. Columbus just played at home last night, so Im guessing there's a chance.

Columbus is in a home stand so he’s relatively close. Easy to get here tonight and be at morning skate first thing in the morning for a 3pm game.

 

[Sigh]

I know the end of the line is coming at some point for the Bruins, but I am very much enjoying the bottom falling out for the Penguins.

I lurk on their board often.

Don't worry, they'll fall ass-backward into some more generational talent as soon as their fans stop showing up again.

 

[22Brad Park]

Penguins got Bruins for 6 last meeting so hopefully Boys come out ready to play.Go

I assume he'll want to get a practice in before going right into the game.

 

[bruins19]

Yep.

Sweeney had escaped the chokehold a couple of times now.

In a cap league, it’s very cyclical.
The end came for East powerhouses Pittsburgh and Washington.

Bruins have been the gold standard for regular season success, but the Pens have 3 Cups in the post lockout era.

I have been living in the DC area (Northern VA) since 2005. While they certainly have had better times, if the Caps were ever a powerhouse, I must have missed it. Certainly not on par with the hated Pens. Caps still hold the record for losses in a season and have a Cup final loss at home in 98 and their solitary Cup win. Ovechkin has more grey hair than I do now. They will not be better until Ovechkin retires and they can get on with the rebuild.

 

[TD Charlie]

But what if I want WINGS?

Beat me to it.

That’s not enough dad!

 

[Mione134]

Hopefully the boys can all take a deep sigh of relief and play exactly with the intensity of the last game. I want to see that sustained. Forechecking. Grit. Anger. Composure when needed. Do it all. Just win. And no injuries please. K thx!

 

[chizzler]

Mario knew it was time to cash out but he had to find a couple of suckers to buy the team

Yup. Some lean times coming they’re way. Their GM is a dope too. Let’s see if the league rescues them again.

Yeah , I remember that being a dreadful game. I’m working 3-11 so will have to watch this one later on .

I for one hope they throw these guys right into the fire


I wanna see some penguins get trucked today by Peeke, assume Maroon is still injured

Maroon had disc surgery, would be surprised to see him in action in March at all, maybe very end of regular season…if he’s not ready until playoffs then he’s depth only if the team is playing well and chemistry is gelling without him.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Super high winds here, neighbors flagpole is bent in half, no sleep was had.

Look forward to an entertaining game this afternoon and an early bedtime.

 

[mjhfb]

What a waste for Crosby. Turning 37 this summer and still over a point a game on a weak team. He's exactly what the Bruins need.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Might as well see this Peeke toughness since Forbort is out.

 

[Lordstanley]

That 2019 game loss at home was a dagger which may never recover from. When the cup is on the building you win it!!!! So pissed we going through all this . Well what's done is done rally with these guys you never know . My bet is monty taking us far. In fact I'm betting on it. Book it!

I have to say DG …..your positive attitude is something we all could learn from. Don’t let anyone here change that.

 

[Alicat]

Hope Hampus is indeed back today

 

[smithformeragent]

The posters on the Penguins’ board largely hate Mike Sullivan.

However, consensus seems to be that he’s not going anywhere as he has a contract extension that hasn’t yet kicked in, and FSG does not wan to pay him to coach elsewhere.

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

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

It's pretty amazing that it hasn't really happened to the Bruins since Z came. Sure, a couple tough years there at the end of Claude, but nothing like so many other teams routinely go through. I wonder how long they can keep it going.

Drafting of McAvoy and Pastrnak where they were, plus the contracts of Bergeron/Marchand saved the day.

Penguin fans are suspicious of their new Boston overlords.

The TV games are now a carbon copy of NESN's graphics and bumper music.

Pittsburgh is a Steelers market and then the Pens and Pirates are on the second tier. The city never wanted a NBA team even though college basketball is popular there.

FSG bought the team as they saw real estate opportunities at the old Igloo site.
