Post-Game Talk: GAME 80 - B's clinch second and home ice - BRUINS 6 Columbus 2 F - SECOND PLACE CLINCHED!!

[TCB]

I missed it if mentioned, but what happened to Heinen- is he hurt (I thought he got hurt last game) or just a healthy scratch?

Flu/Bug

 

[BMC]

The way Johansson went down I thought it was a season ended. Made me think of Savard towards the end.

That was my thought as well- "OMG he's done". Was very happy to see him back out there let me tell you

 

[Dr Hook]

Flu/Bug

Thanks- I guessed something was off with him in the Detroit game when he missed a bunch of shifts and I think at one point was not on the bench.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

IT WON'T MATTER what lineup you throw at either Minnesota or Tampa, don, the team cannot move up or down once you're locked into a seed

Yeah, but the point is that the regulars can't get hurt if they don't play.

 

[Seidenbergy]

Yeah, but the point is that the regulars can't get hurt if they don't play.

[As much as it pains me to say it] Pasta says "hi"

 

[DKH]

Carlo better be scratched Saturday or playing on left side

Playoffs Thursday & Saturday sounds like

 

[Bruins Stooge]

Was just thinking about that. He must be mental in these last few games just wanting to stay healthy after the last few years.

 

[ODAAT]

Send some to MoJo too while you're at it

Good lord yes please. I only had the Columbus feed here so they didn`t show the replay of when Mojo went down but was relieved to see him back on the ice later on.

Some nice chemistry with he and Coyle, Charlie looked terrific last night
D and forwards played far more focused in their own zone
Tuukka looked very solid while not being tested outside of a few opportunities
Marchand collects 100 pts, not bad for a career AHL player
Kuhlman looked very solid

Good way to snag home ice in 2nd round, now beg and plead with Bergy/Z to take some games off to get some well earned rest

 

[Glove Malfunction]

i'm hoping that since the Wild and Lightning have nothing to really play for that our next two games are glorified all star games with very little in the way of serious hitting and that players go full flamingo rather then trying to block shots.

I legit LOL'ed at "full flamingo".

the only way I want to see Carlo on the ice in the next few days is on XBox

 

[Glove Malfunction]

[As much as it pains me to say it] Pasta says "hi"

True. At least he didn't "trip over his suitcase."

do the B`s find themselves in a bit of a pickle in regards to call ups due to the PB`s having not officially nailed down a playoff spot?

expect the wild game to be that way, but assume tampa will come after boston physically on saturday.
paquette especially, he already ruined rick nash last spring so am sure he'll be taking runs at everyone.

I'm sure they'll think about it, but at the end will do whats best for the big clubs business. That sad I'd think Miller and Grz will play last few games with having just come back recently. Kampfer and Clifton probably slot in for two others. From the forwards aspect, not sure how that will effect them but I'm sure they'll be looking at at least a few call ups.

 

[talkinaway]

When will games 3 and 4 be?

Nothing's been officially announced, but our A1 source Fenway gave us the news that Game 1 and 2 are scheduled for Thursday and Saturday night. It's subject to change, but those dates seem pretty fixed, and very logical - Thursday because they like to start round 1 on Wednesday/Thursday, and the Garden's used Wednesday. Saturday because HNIC can't resist putting the Center of the Hockey Universe on.

Sometimes they announce conditional or partial schedules early, especially in the later rounds where Game 1 of the next round is only a day after Game 7 of the last round. But usually once they announce a schedule, they don't like to mess with it...so they wait for all 16 teams to be fixed in place, or maybe have two options at most. Since Montreal can't be eliminated until Friday night at the earliest, and the Central could easily have 3 teams tied for first in points by the end of tonight, there probably won't be much official news until Saturday at the earliest. Since Nashville could potentially host any of three teams (STL, DAL, COL), or could wind up going to STL...and I think most of those scenarios could simultaneously stay in play on Saturday...it's way too early for them to schedule.

good point, that`s what I was hoping to hear, while I want the PB`s to snag a playoff spot, really can`t make them the focal point here.

I`d like to rest Bergy, Marchand and give DK the last game off too, Z I`d be too scared to ask

Yep. I see TB taking it's chance to cripple Boston and ensure they can sweep Toronto instead of a tough series vs Boston.

Time to bring up the following players.

Senyshyn
Gemal
Swartz
Cehlarik
Hughes
Blidh
Zboril
Stempniak
JFK
Lauzon
McIntyre

(don't mind spelling went by knowledge)

Lets see what some of these guys got and rest the starters.

 

[Mkdaman1818]

We were just told

Game 1 April 11th at TD Garden - 7:11 PM - NESN, CBC, NBCSN
Game 2 April 13th at TD Garden - 8:14 PM - NBC, CBC

Any word on game 5 Fenway? The two possibilities I see are Saturday 4/20 (most likely), or Friday 4/19

sounds like it`s my chance to submit my resume for RW snipah for the PB`s for their final playoff push

 

[Ladyfan]

I think most fan bases (although they wouldn't admit it) would love to have Marchand on their team

But he is ours !

 

[Spooner st]

I saw availability on 17th and 19th.
For game 3 and 4.
Don't know how legit though.

Not yet but our guess is they will do the same thing as last year where Game 5 would be in Boston on a Saturday night and on NBC

NBC is trying to prop up their struggling channel they own in Boston - WBTS and local ad revenue would be a huge boost to the station.

HNIC is good with Boston as the lighting at TD Garden is perfect for their 4K telecasts.

game 3 has been on marathon monday eve for as long as i can remember

 

[Ladyfan]

I would sit Chara , Charlie and Carlo in these next two games . The returning injured D can all play . Add Clifton , Kampfer and someone from Providence.

Like I said before...Are YOU going to tell Big Z to sit ?
