GDT: Game 79: The Final Battle: BRUINS @ Lightning: 7:42 pm ET NESN Plus, NBCSN, SN1, TVAS , 98.5 WBZ-FM

[Number8]

He’s on the 3rd line now. Last time he played with Krejci (with Donato) he had two assists. Backes is not an overly offensive player anymore.

You’re right. Don’t know what I was thinking.

I wouldn’t move Debrusk to fit him in, I know that.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Not really any positives to talk about in this game so far is there?

Charlie looks good and very happy to have him back

 

[Chief Nine]

Carlo injury deflation.

The finish line’s in sight too. Long grind this March and lots of injuries. Lots to deal with

 

[BMC]

Game on

 

[Boston Bruno]

I see your Teeter Hang Up and raise you a Slap Chop.

ShamWow!

 

[BAD BOY]

I'm not giving up on this game just yet...if they score on this PP we might have a good third period.

Cut it 3-2 with about eight minutes left.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

If Tampa goes 2-0-0 2 ROWs
Bs need to go 2-0-1

If Tampa goes 2-0-0 1 ROw
Bs need to go 2-1-0

If Tampa goes 1-0-1
Bs need to go 2-1-0 or 1-0-2

If Tampa goes 1-1-0
Bs Need to go 1-1-1

If Tampa goes 0-1-1
Bs need to go 1-2-0

If Tampa goes 0-2-0
Bs need to go 0-2-1

2-0-1 is certainly doable and I would be surprised if they don’t achieve that .

 

[Bruinaura]

Maybe they’ll surprise us all and win

Would that really be surprising?

 

[GloveSave1]

Disagree completely. As far as them being willing to turn it on at times, I'd refer you to the Pittsburgh game from early in March

The exception to the rule.

Game on.

 

[13Hockey]

2-0-1 is certainly doable and I would be surprised if they don’t achieve that .

And they only need to do that if Tampa goes 2-0-0 both in regulation

 

[Gordoff]

What's with booing Krug of all people?

 

[Alicat]

Would that really be surprising?

No lol

 

[TP]

Man, Chara struggling.

 

[Alicat]

What's with booing Krug of all people?

They’re booing McAvoy too

 

[Trap Jesus]

Chara has been mind-numbingly bad since coming back.

 

[Chief Nine]

Man, Chara struggling.

Whole team looks dead legged here

 

[northeastern]

Lightning playing will but things not going bruins way

 

[The Hajj]

Chara has been mind-numbingly bad since coming back.

Not allowed to speak the truth here

 

[Alicat]

Chara has been mind-numbingly bad since coming back.

It’s his second game back. Lay off

 

[Bruinaura]

They’re booing McAvoy too

It's weird

 

[Number8]

Chara has been mind-numbingly bad since coming back.

Takes a big older guy more time to get back into it.

Do we know what he was out with?

 

[crimsonace]

Lightning playing will but things not going bruins way

Keep looking back at 2 plays - the Bergeron post in the 1st and the Pasta breakaway that could/should have been a penalty shot - before the seeing-eye goal by Point. If either of those go, I wonder if it's a different game as TB begins to feel a bit of pressure.

 

[northeastern]

Ouch

 

[TP]

That's that.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

Not allowed to speak the truth here

There's a difference between the "truth" and being absurdly wrong.
