I think I'm getting old at 39 because I've seen every one of them play.

You are the same age as my daughter

Devils follower becoming a Bruins Fan again:

Good game against CBJ. I am glad that MoJo is back from injury and delivered the second goal in the 6 goal game. I want him to help the Bruins.

Go Bruins

Welcome aboard the bandwagon !

 

[missingchicklet]

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.

Bingo! Would be good if the Bs could get the points in the next game in case they are important after round 1 at some point, but the last game under all circumstances I would have most key players out of the lineup, and those who are in I would play very limited minutes. I don't want A) any guys hurt by the pukes on TB, and B) any key Bs players getting suspended after retaliating against said TB pukes. Send some AHL guys out there and let them knock TB around. I don't trust TB one iota to play a clean game, knowing full well they have a good chance of meeting Boston in the 2nd round.

 

[DKH]

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?

No idea what they can do but they still need a point to clinch second in Conference and last game is Saturday so you might want to play most of lineup at home that day - Bergeron and Chara sit out and tell Carlo to stay out of right corner where zamboni comes in and out

 

[DKH]

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

I sit close by and my kid got all bent last Saturday when I brought it up claiming I’ve jinxed him

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

In 2014, Marathon Monday was April 21, and the Bruins played April 20 (home, Easter Sunday: Chara threatens to beat Riley Smith's brother) and April 22 (away, Detroit).

But you're absolutely right - it makes sense to schedule Boston's game 3 on Monday. If it's in Boston, ticket sales probably get a bump, even if the Sox are already in town. If it's away, well, Monday's a local holiday, making it a de facto Sunday - better for viewers, leaving more room for non-holiday teams to play on Sunday.

Game 3 on Monday night would be NESN's preference as the Red Sox play at 11 AM

Only in my mind. Well actually in my mind, I think I'm still 21 but I've been 39 now for the last 16 years.

Game 3 is definitely away. It's always H-H-A-A-H-A-H.

I am so glad there isn't a home Bruins game on Marathon Monday.

I've done the Sox/Marathon/Bruins once and I'll never do it again.

Its an exhausting day.

haha, true, just play Carlo on the PP, nothing less, nothing more

 

[nonoffensiveusername]

Don't just rest Carlo . . . . put him in the witness protection program or something til playoffs start.

 

[s3antana5757]

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.

Is that even possible? Can’t you only have 23 guys up at a time? Maybe on an emergency basis only?

 

[Cronuss]

Nothing to play for now.
Sit Bergeron, Marchand, Krejci, Chara, McAvoy, Pastarnak, Carlo...
Not worth playing with fire. Too many bad injuries at the end of the year in the recent past.

 

[Alicat]

 

[Alicat]

So who's sitting?

 

[nazartp]

So who's sitting?

EVERYONE!

 

[Smitty93]

I'd guess Krejci or Bergeron are sitting for Frederic. Maybe rest one tomorrow and another Saturday. Similar with Senyshyn, where Marchand and Pastrnak sit for one of the two games.

One name on that list I'm against, DK is the only iron man on the team, every other player had missed at least a game.

[Bruinaura]

Can they do "emergency" recalls just to give guys a game off? Although I guess there's a way to fudge that at this time of year...

 

[Glove Malfunction]

Only in my mind. Well actually in my mind, I think I'm still 21 but I've been 39 now for the last 16 years.

@Kovi seems to think I've been 12 the entire time I've known her.

Plenty of guys are nursing something at this time of year, and you can always use the illness excuse. Bergeron got hit in the foot blocking a shot last night, so you could sit him for that. Pastrnak's thumb is likely still recovering, so that would be an option.

 

[TCB]

I like

Awesome news. Hopefully we will finally get to see Senyshyn
