7:30PM start time. f*** that sucks.

Hope for a good game tonight. Marchand potentially not in there is a killer but maybe DeBrusk gets going with Bergeron and Pastrnak.

 

[22Brad Park]

I grabbed a second iced coffee on the way home from work, but it doesn’t look promising.

Pierre Bingo missing my favorite - "Big Body Presence".

After 120 points that one season, 80 points feels a little bit underwhelming for Kucherov...

Still sucks Stamkos is out. I know it's probably giving Boston somewhat of a little advantage going into this, but I enjoy watching that guy play, no matter who Tampa's playing against.

That's 80 points in 63 games. Should reach 100. 7th in the league currently isn't bad.

Also is +25, in the top 10 in the league.

Thanks Fenway

Not sure if this was already posted.

Maybe I just expected him to get to 100 points already

Seriously though he's a hell of a player

They just showed Marchy walking in so it looks like the little ball of bacteria is in.

 

[Ladyfan]

Get well Brad.

Let's beat this very good team with no injuries to anyone....A couple of good clean hard hits to Maroon would be cool.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Can someone post all of the Bear ads that Tampa fans threw a fit about in 2011? Those were amazing.

Post #11.

Well if he cannot play his style well vs a team that plays it to a tee then I dunno what to think.Really has to elevate his game in my humble opinion.

I like him.

 

[22Brad Park]

I like him.

I know.I would to if he would produce a bit more.Tampa plays the style he likes to play so this should be a good matchup for him.Hopefully he has a good game.Cassidy will be watching close no doubt.

 

[Ladyfan]

Bergeron at 1000 just was on again (NESN). How can you not love our Bergy !
