Pre-Game Talk: Game 79 - Bruins Dance With the Devil - 8 PM ET

[danpantz]

anyone watched much of the Devils this year other than when they play the B`s? I honestly have watched 0 minutes, what style are they playing?

Fast. They have a ton of speed.

Lots of movement from the d-men, speed and skill game. heavily rely on the transition game. Not a very physical team. Key to beating them is slowing down the game in the neutral zone. Their PP has been fairly average, but has a higher ceiling with Meier now on the team.

Meier also brought a little bit of physicality too them. They were a bit soft before but he’s brought a bit of beef with him.

I'm kinda surprised Bruins are dressing mcavoy tonight... But then again it's always a tough decision for who/if guys should be sat... Yes you need to be healthy but also u wanna keep momentum and chemistry going leading into the playoffs

So how do they fit hall in under the cap right now?

Foligno LTIR
retroactive to March 1st

He is eligible to return any time

Since he already served his 24 days or 10 games

Agreed. He was a tremendous add by NJ. Skill combined with physicality. NJ is a fun team to watch.

Plus, he's Swiss. NJ likes its Swiss players much like Bos likes its Czechs.

Just a random note: I was listening in another room and thought Pasta was talking on TV and it was Big Papi. It donned on me that they talk similarly, and now it’s stuck in my brain.

GDT sent @Fenway

Remember that time the bruins had the potential 23rd 60+ goal scorer in nhl history and one of our analytics gurus graded him a C-

You might be talking about my analysis. I base everything I post on cold hard facts, numbers, and my model. The model weights turnovers highly and points / goals not highly, as turnovers are not luck based while points mainly are. I would be happy to show you how it works sometime.

Win and don't get hurt. Ugg 8 pm. I guess it is practice for the playoffs which will start late (after the first round).

I hear Hall might be back and Mac!

Hey Steve, I hope the Bruins win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS....HERE WE GO

Did you really not get the joke?

So much talent

Once Krejci is back

1 of Hall, Zacha, or Bert won’t even get PP time

Unless they go 4F 1D on PP2 but they seem to like to have 2D on that 2nd unit

We could literally ice three PP units. Actually, maybe we should . . . .
