I think it's about time for a win, right?

Great GDT thread Fenway!! Thank you!

Lets go B's!!

 

[Calirose]

Anyone have word on who is starting in net tonight?

Also: huge congrats to Boston area product Justin Breton aka. NORM, on his call-up to the AHL's Manitoba Moose from the ECHL's Alaska Aces.

Nothing yet, although I think it would be shocking if Rask didn't start. Florida tomorrow is probably more of a must-win, but with 3 full days off since the Kings game, it's tough to imagine they don't go to Rask tonight. I think he'll start both with the playoff race being so tight.

8PM? **** that ****

Never heard of him. Wish him luck in Manitoba.

Rask, if he does start, must have recovered from whatever ailed him keeping him out of practice yesterday.

 

[LouJersey]

So 33 goals in 33 games in the minors earns you possible 4th line duty when your team scores 3 goals in 3 games.



Put him with Krejci, Eriksson on the right, Beleskey-Spooner-Pasta.... Connolly-Noel-Randell.

Vatrano shouldn't be on the 4th line, it's just a waste. Either bring up him and put him in the top 6, or leave him in Providence.

Also, Randell will be scratched... I mean, he scored the other night, so that means he gets the next game off.

Marchand - Bergeron - Stempniak
Pastrnak/Vatrano - Krejci - Eriksson
Pastrnak/Vatrano - Spooner - Beleskey
Connolly - Accairi - Randell
Hayes

 

[TCL40]

I would put Vatrano with Spooner (I would love to see a Beleskey-Spooner-Pastavline but Claude seems pretty certain he doesn't) and let Hayes take a seat. Shift Connolly back to the 4th or let him sit too.

 

[shackattack]

Awesome GDT ...Hope Bruins start scoring some goals again.

 

[Ladyfan]

B's need a win ...BAD.

Thanks for the GDT Fenway...Marchy makes me smile. He is due for a couple of goals.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[VanIsle]

Rask likely to start as he was first off the ice.

Vatrano better be up top, I am sick of the marshmallow man he needs to drop to line 4.

 

[bruins51]

any word on who they sent down or are sending down? aren't they at 24 roster spots right now (25 with the emergency goalie callup)? 14 forwards, 8 d, 3 goalies.



Based on that does look like vatrano as the 4th LW. Hopefully that changes.

 

[Gee Wally]

I believe you can expand the roster after the trade deadline. I think I read by 4.

I'm sure he will get a few shifts on the 4th and if he looks good he can move up.

Funny thing.Guys like Hayes can look bad but never move down lol Sorry ,had too.

I would also start Rask for the last 9 games or until Bruins clinch and can't end in 8th.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Then why did they call him on an emergency basis on the western trip and didn't play him?

 

[HumBucker]

I'd like to at least see a few shifts of Vatrano with Spooner, but a 4th line of Vatrano-Acciari-Ferraro might be pretty good.

 

[tkddad]

Spooner.

 

[VanIsle]

So true, and we all know that is where this teams leading goal scorer started on this roster.

I takes time to get into a permanent top 6 roll.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Let's win this.

Go Bruins Go!

 

[Trap Jesus]

If they're going to try him out, I think it makes the most sense to put him with Krejci and Eriksson. Eriksson can switch over to give him whichever wing he feels most comfortable with.

Vatrano-Krejci-Eriksson
Beleskey-Spooner-Pastrnak

 

[5Minutes4Fighting]

Heading to MSG to see the B's lay the smack down on the Rangers. Will be wearing Marchand in 414.
