Pre-Game Talk: Game 69 7:07 PM - Tampa Bay - NESN, NHLN, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[Jean_Jacket41]

Say what you will about Moore, but seems like he's been a pretty good soldier, given his circumstances

This is exactly why the talk about trading him at the deadline for a pick made no sense.

Great to have this great depth on D.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

I didn't think the elbow was that bad. It's sucks our guy got hurt, but flip the jerseys and I guarantee you every poster on the Bruins board defends that as unintentional/incidental contact.

It was a weasel elbow. Much more suspendable than the joke of Lauzon got.

Parros is a dud and his blatant incompetence should have him fired on the spot.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

I’ve always hated that wuss Kucherov. Let’s beat TB again, take a 11pts lead and cruise to 1st seed in the East.

 

[MustardStew]

I want to see them breaking sticks in the 2ND period again... Tampa seemed really frustrated early on Tuesday - let's do it again!

 

[DarrenBanks56]

i think we see some chippy stuff tonite. just a feeling.

That was my favorite part.
I know in the same situation MY team would be calm and TCB.

Great point - it's amazing to compare the two plays and realize one got a 2 game suspension plus the ejected game, and the other received a minor.

And if we use the same convoluted logic, was there intent on Lauzon's hit? Stepan even returned to the game.

Edit: quoted the wrong post, as I just woke up. This moving the clock up has already thrown me off and we haven't even done it yet!

Hey!! Don't lump us dog lovers in with plain old jerks

Oops. My bad. Sorry Daisy!

 

[danpantz]

Put ‘em away tonight fellas.

Pasta gets one.

 

[Boston Bandit]

If Carlo is out, I predict a Lightning win. He is so important to this team.

We are loaded with D unlike any team in the NHL, but I get what you're saying about how important he is to this team.

Bruins still win though - Go B's!

 

[Boston Bandit]

i think we see some chippy stuff tonite. just a feeling.

I do too... Please no injuries!

 

[McGarnagle]

It's going to be tough without Carlo.

The lack of punishment for it is embarrassing considering Marchand got a crap ton of games for doing a much less intentional back elbow to Mojo back when he was on the Devils.

 

[Krupp]

For God's sake, WATCH OUT for headshots tonight, Bruins!

Seriously.

Yep. No better time for Tampa to ease their path to the Cup.

If it was an accident, then Dadanov should get a game for being a moron. Who goes into the boards holding his stick like a golf putter. Two hands at very top of stick guarantees elbow flying up if you try and pull puck back. He’s either cheap as hell or a dumb ass. Neither is a good look.

 

[JAD]

It may get a little chippy tonight. This could be a statement game ... but like the Brantley Gilbert song 'Take it Outside'

Back in the good old days
They knew how to brawl
I'm talkin' real gunslingers
I'm talkin' real outlaws
They'd saddle up and ride on into town When it was high noon in them old saloons
You knew what was goin' down
They took it outside
Took it outside

When it was man to man
Toe to toe
You know they had to go
Where nobody's gonna break it up
Not until you've had enough
And if you think you've got the guts Then let's take it outside
If you think your man enough
You really wanna knuckle up
If you wanna shed a little blood then let's take it outside
Let's take it outside
These days things have changed There's a lot of talk
Lot of pushin' and shovin'
Well if you wanna walk the walk
Let's have some respect
Got girls in here
Just pay your tab
And lay down your beer
Hoss and let's take it outside
Take it outside
It's man to man
Toe to toe
You know we need to go
Where nobody's gonna break it up
Not until we've had enough
And if you think you've got the guts Then let's take it outside
If you think your man enough
You really wanna knuckle up
If you wanna shed a little blood then let's
Take it outside
Let's take it outside
We're all here for a good time
But don't start no trouble
'Cause it won't be the first time I put a scar on my knuckles
Now brother I don't mind I'll be glad to stomp your ass
But if both of us walk out that door One of us ain't comin' back ....

The family dog JR. We like to think he's a Boston terrier and Hab hater.

 

[BB88]

Scared.

But not as much after winning the last 2

 

[Flannelman]

Made a jumbo White Russian.
Mood: push them around and out-work them and I’ll be happy

 

[Alicat]

Don’t forget to turn your clocks ahead an hour after the game!

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Here's hoping an hour's all we lose.

 

[The Andrew Peeke Fan]

Kase gets a garbage one tonight, I think.

 

[LouJersey]

For God's sake, WATCH OUT for headshots tonight, Bruins!

Seriously.

we have Ritchie now so thankfully we won’t see any cheap shots or elbows
