When will we find out if Kretchy is playing?

After warmups according to Claude.

Not a terrible time to be playing Anaheim - they have given up 12 goals in their last two games.

We might score 2

No better team than the Bruins to give their goalie and D some confidence

 

[BB88]

And we did great last time with this D and luckily anaheim doesn't have fire power at all

 

[whatsbruin]

Julien us getting better with his practice lines at least. Scratch Paille and Campbell and those may be our best forward lines of the year.

The only way Julien doesn't play either Paille or Campbell will be the day
neither one is wearing a spoked B. It just ain't gonna happen.

 

[OldScool]

We might score 2

Dont interrupt my optimism with facts.

 

[JRull86]

Here's hoping if DK comes back tonight that Spooner isn't the pressbox casualty, but we all know he will be.

Clode.

 

[AlpineLager]

After warmups according to Claude.

Anyone think we see on on Bergys wing? Leaving Spoons with Pasta and Looch

Tho im not sure Clode would ever allow it

There's a 0% chance that someone could explain to me how it's better to play paille/campbell instead of spooner, so in my books this lineup the 1st 3 lines are clear as day right now.
Can't see how even julien could mess that up.

For now but not in the playoffs, Bergeron takes the pressure and krecji has some time to get his legs going before julien plays him at C.
Then if a few weeks time he breaks that line and puts lucic-Krecji back together.

Clode.

Except that Claude has explicitly stated that's not the case and none of the recent practices hint at that.

I'll be a little nervous to see him banging in the corners.

Gonna be a long summer if they're not playing in 3 weeks

[Paddington]

Although tonight is a "really really really need-to-win" game, I don't think it's a "must-win". However, if they don't win tonight then I think the NYR game will be a must-win. If they get through this 2 game stretch with 2 or 3 points I think they have a good shot. The Bruins play just 3 playoff teams after this. DET, WASH, and finally Tampa in their last game. This team has been hot and cold all season. Hopefully the cold spell is over because the table is set for them to get hot again. The question is, can they?

 

[JRull86]

That's great, but I have a hard time believing that Julien would sit someone like Campbell for Spooner. He relies on his vets too much at times.

If I'm wrong, I'll be ecstatic, but I just have no confidence in that actually happening.

Can't stand the idea of not watching the bruins play playoff hockey.

Again this is a time when I hate our deadline action, that forward group with connolly can atleast challenge but that D is horrible, can't find a worse D in the league than that right now. And get bart out and Morrow in.

So his 50% effort in the deadline is going to kill us in the end.
So frustrated.

If Krejci does come back and is on bergy's wing, I'd much rather see Paille - Kelly - Talbot as the 4th instead of Campbell.

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

Our D corps should be the main focus. Just look at it, truly stare at it for a prolonged period of time. Getzlaf and chums are gonna have a field day.

I predict 10-9 to the Bruins. Who needs bigger nets eh

 

[DBL]

Marchand-Bergy-Krejci

That's exciting. Will be fun to watch.

And with Connelly coming back, the talent level of this forward group is looking great. But damn that defense.

Bruins Win. Sens Lose.

 

[mmk]

Krejci-Bergy line will pot 3 tonight. It's going to be a beautiful thing to watch.

 

[alg363636]

That defense. Holy guacamole. Poor Tuukka.

Please score more than 2 goals. I cannot see Tuukka letting in less than 2 with that defense. No way he faces less than 35 shots.

 

[TCDaniels]

Bingo...

“I think everybody here knows that Ryan Spooner is playing well. I’m going to be honest with you: he’s not coming out of our lineup playing the way that he is,” said Julien

This is when Krejci was out, but to me it sounds like a definite statement - no qualifiers short of "unless he starts stinking up the joint"

 

[terranraida]

Just a heads up, Wisniewski and Fleischmann are sitting tonight. Means that Clayton Stoner and Emerson Etem are up instead. Great GDT though!
