[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Awesome. More highlight watching reviews that are wrong.

 

[NDiesel]

Poor guy. He's becoming the new McQuaid or Miller.

Sucks but it will be nice to see Zboril get more games and be a bit more prepared come playoff time.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

So was my response pal.

My apologies buddy.

Does orlov ever not have a massive smile on his face? Love it

Stupid TV, Senators games are always blacked out for me.

I never figured out why as I am 4550 km away from Ottawa, it's not like I can go there. . . . .

Way to sell the game . . . .

Also Sogaard is probably starting, he has not faired well lately in his past 6 games. . .

Toronto 4 goals allowed
Colorado 5 goals allowed
Edmonton 5 goals allowed
Vancouver 4 goals allowed
Seattle 4 goals allowed
Chicago 5 goals allowed

Linus Ullmark's last six starts at TD Garden
6-0-0 ; 1.68 GAA ; .935 Sv%

Ullmarks's season at TD Garden
18-1-1 ; 1.76 GAA ; .939 Sv%

Linus has been in a mini-slump for the last 3 weeks or so. He's allowed over a goal more per 60 mins during this stretch.
*(His 'cold streak' this season is still very good.)

Hopefully he can get back into the Vezina groove beginning tonight.

My apologies buddy.

Apology..........accepted.

GDT sent to @Fenway

I really hope that the allotment of photos in the GDT increases in the playoffs.

Fluto expecting:

Marchand-Bergeron-DeBrusk
Zacha-Krejci-Pastrnak
Bertuzzi-Coyle-Frederic
Lauko-Nosek-Hathaway

Grzelcyk-McAvoy
Lindholm-Carlo
Orlov-Clifton

Ullmark

Tasty! For your troubles you get a " 3rd pairing" of 81 and 75

Really wishing they would give Krejci a week off here. Monty says he has lingering health issues, whats the point of rushing him back in

 

[GoBs]

Kind of tough sitting guys for home games. Fans paying allot of money to see the top guys.

But I thought hockey was for everyone…?

Judging by that lineup, I think coach is going in hoping it's another one of those 11-12 minute nights for Bergy and Krejci. The D pairings certainly point to load management (by minutes). I bet lines 3 and 4 see big minutes (we hope)

 

[Aeroforce]

Love Marchand instigating mischief, in a fun way of course.

 

[KrugAvoy]

If my math is right, I think we can clinch home ice in round 1 officially tonight if we win and Tampa loses in regulation

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

Well Florida's the team I'd actually rather not face round 1 so maybe losing to Ottawa would actually help us

Just kidding, don't want to lose on purpose to anybody but I won't be upset if we do lose this one. Rest a couple guys, play the game the way they usually do and keep the train rolling.

Oh, and smack Tkachuk in the mouth.

[neelynugs]

i believe no team has beaten the bruins in the season series so far (i.e. no team has earned more total points in the games played).
would have to beat ottawa to keep that intact. think carolina and washington are the only other teams that can still do it.

 

[Thefours]

Another night to enjoy watching the Bs play. Everyone stay healthy!

Looking for controversy where there is none.

Nobody in the top 9 is worse than Lauko. When Hall is healthy, nobody in the top 10 is.

So you're left with TWO spots, and Nosek is Mr Faceoff and Mr PK.

So you're left with ONE spot between Figgy, Lauko, and Hathaway. There's a case for all of them depending on the series. For now, I can see Lauko playing every single remaining game. But when Figgy is right, he goes. Lauko's time will come (either injuries, or next year).

I think Lauko has jumped Greer though. That much I think is done.
