Now that's a biscuit! Welcome to the south lol

Forbort skating again. Poitras to resume skating this month.

I'm touching wood here, but as depth goes, you have to like what's slowly taking shape here.

A healthy Forbort probably adds more than a healthy Peeke or Wotherspoon. IMO.

Forbort played the whole season needing surgery essentially. And then had a second one also I’m hearing on his hand. He didn’t play that well on one leg and using one hand. So…..

At least it could be more depth, especially the deeper the Bs go in the playoffs.

Filmed in Nashville and California.

Mike Fink, King of the River!

@Fenway I don't know when you head to Bridgestone but I'd get there early. If the weather is as bad as they are thinking, that building is one of the best you could be in downtown this afternoon.

We are aware

I almost forgot about Poitras

 

[Sheppy]

Poitras probably won't see playoff action at all, and he probably shouldn't anyway.

I watched the Preds play the Avs on the weekend. They lost 7-4, but they were a pretty impressive-looking team all the same and their form prior to losing the last couple was excellent. Very physical outfit, Lauzon is a wrecking ball with a chance of breaking the NHL record for hits in a single season, McDonagh got tossed last game after smacking Colton in the head (which partly explains them giving up 7), and the cross-checking and bumping going on around their net, led by Schenn in particular, was fierce. Top that off with some handy offense and a very good goalie in Saros, and it's no wonder they've firmly lodged themselves in a playoff spot.

Should be a very good challenge for the Bruins. As long as Nashville comes to play they will give us another preview of the type of game we can likely expect in the playoffs. Boston don't need to out-muscle them as such, but they will need to stand their ground and get their skating legs on. The Preds' D is a little slow, so opportunities can be created if the Bruins can get the puck moving with some speed and precision. Definitely a winnable contest, but it probably won't be easy. Looking forward to it.

Be still my heart.

I still have my puke-coloured Preds jersey from when I was a kid. The one with the roaring sabre-toothed cat…used to think that logo was the coolest.

He wont. The plan is rehab and bulk up a bit with target of training camp.

Go no he couldn’t handle the regular season physicality let alone the playoffs

 

[Ladyfan]

I totally agree. I expect he will start in Providence next season.

I like hearing that he is skating.

 

[NDiesel]

Agreed, will be nice experience for him to be around the team though especially if they make a deep run

Forbort has been out that long that even if he`s deemed healthy to return, to get caught up to game speed and have his level of fitness where it needs to be is a massive ask/expectation

 

[Ladyfan]

Oh look...the toughest guy on the team and the new guy.

 

[Bridges31]

What’s the status on Maroon? I see he’s been practicing but I haven’t really been following things. Is he close to getting back?

Closest game he  could return for is Pittsburgh.

Thanks. I hope he gets some reps in before playoffs start.

[Mione134]

Thanks. I hope he gets some reps in before playoffs start.

He was asked yesterday about that and that's what he wants too. But is leaving everything up to the medical staff. They've been taking good care of him.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Cool place to catch a game.

We were down for spring break at the end of the season a couple of years ago and caught Flames Preds.

I’d go back to Nashville for sure. We saw the Sounds as well.

As for tonight, I hope to be asleep by 8pm.

Its a place I have thought to move in the future. Nashville and Tennessee is nice. Florida isnt the spot for me permanently

 

[lopey]

Tonights a good test. Preds are tight checking hard hitting team. Playoff similar game
