I have a feeling this is going to be a rough one. Philly has the personnel to physically dominate us and I expect that to happen. I think Ullmark will be sensational and steals the win for us. Marchand will get number 400 into the empty net in a 3-1 Bruins win.

Let's score lots against the Flyers again but please play defense and don't let them catch up this time. No more last minute goals! No injuries! Start the road trip off on a good note and keep on rolling. It is time to get serious and play inspired hockey leading up to the second season!

Today’s Globe:


Breather for Marchand​

Brad Marchand did not participate in Friday’s practice at Warrior Ice Arena, with Montgomery designating it a maintenance day for the captain. The 35-year-old winger has been given several practice days off through the season, and Montgomery said it’s not set in stone that Marchand will get the green light for Saturday’s matinee against the Flyers in Philadelphia. ”Most likely,” said the coach. “I’m not going to say 100 percent.” Marchand has just one goal in his last 14 games, and his last power-play tally was Jan. 13. “I think the 82 [game] grind, you’re going to have nights where you have it and nights when you don’t,” Montgomery said. “But I think with Brad, we always get his maximum effort, and that’s how he leads us and I think that’s why we’re one of the teams with the most points in the league . . . a lot of times your team play is a reflection of your captain, and our captain competes really hard. But with that, there’s frustration. He’s part of that frustration on the power play, right? He expects to do great things and that’s why he’s an elite player. But sometimes it doesn’t go your way — some nights, you get impatient. I think he’s a little impatient right now, especially on the power play.”

....and even though it isn't announced, I am pretty sure our captain is playing with at least one injury.

Rest up Brad. We need you to get well for the playoffs. Love you.

Put the third "A" on Coyle or Carlo.

Bagel, tea, The Globe and listening to the 98.5 hockey show. It’s a good rainy March day for matinee hockey. Let’s go boys, start strong and play 60 minutes.

If ever there was a game to win on this road trip it's this one due to being very winnable.
Flyers are fighting for a playoff spot and will be playing playoff hockey.

Brazeau = Seabass Jr.?
Perhaps.
Impossible to move from the front of the net plus has a nice delicate touch in front of the cage.
When's the last time we had a guy like that?

Any word on Maroon making his first appearance?
