Pre-Game Talk: GAME 81 - 7:08 PM - More history can be made - NESN, NESN 4K, ESPN+, SNP, 98.5 WBZ-FM

This was a reply to another post but the wrong quote got attached. Basically the poster was hoping to break the points record in MTL.

END EDIT

If we win tonight we have an opportunity to capture the best points percentage in league history. When calculating the best season I think it would be flipping fantastic to close with two wins in order to grab that cherry on top.

Staying healthy is more important but two wins while continuing to rest the proper players is everything I could hope for in the regular season.

At the end of the day though, none of this will matter nearly as much as the Stanley Cup. Without the cup it will be a greater disappointment then 2019 though still amongst the most cherished year's that I have been a fan.

 

[Sheppy]

Rest everyone.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Just get it over with tonight and start Bussi in Montreal

I think they will start Bussi in MTL regardless as a reward.

 

[Sheppy]

Nosek is 1 point from his 100th point and 3 games from his 400th game played.

Bergy is 8 games from1,300.

Hope they give Smitty a good tribute video


I doubt Ovi or Wilson will go after our guys and if they do I'd expect a line brawl

Why? Haha.

I can understand tribute videos sometimes, but this isn't one I need to see in particular.

 

[TD Charlie]

Just stay healthy. It’s that simple

 

[DarrenBanks56]

get marchand a goal at all costs

 

[Zillah]

And a pony. I want a pony!

 

[Ladyfan]

Please no injuries

Hey Steve, I hope the Bruins win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO​

I was saying this to my Dad last night when we were watching the Sox game... I was like "Sooo... Who's it gonna be, Dad? What teams it gonna be that breaks our Bruin hearts this year?"

He basically told me to shut-up.

Crickets this am about the lines or goalies.

If I don't have this info I can't do a GDT

I hope it's a relatively close boring game. Don't want stupidity to enter the equation if the Bs start blowing the Caps out.

I'll be interested to see how the Caps react to playing against two of their former glue guys. Maybe they will tone things down. Maybe they will be extra motivated to beat them. Who knows.

Like every other Bs fan on the planet feels -- no injuries. Keep heads on a swivel and don't do anything to get suspended if things get silly.

That's a very good point actually in your first paragraph.

[Alicat]

Any idea on Caps lines?

 

[Boston BROin]

Ty in one of the replies to those Tweets mentioned that it's just Hyper Management with Krejci. Not sure what that means, but I really hope the Master of Time and Space will be 100% for the playoffs. Looks like the Bruins are going full roster tonight.

 

[BlackFrancis]

Montreal apparently is planning a lengthy pregame to honor the Habs fanbase.

Just get it done tonight and send the Maine Mariners to Montreal on Thursday.

No playoffs and they still bust out Come on Grampy Light My Fire.

Just have to admire the hustle.

They really are a different breed there. I don't say that meaning anything positive or negative. Just a different breed.

I'm going with this - I just don't see Ovechkin as anything but selfish and a poor loser. Do we know if he is even playing yet?

EDIT: It looks like Ovi will not be playing from what I have read on-line. Oshi out too.

 

[Alicat]

GDT sent @Fenway

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

We're sitting here wanting/expecting the points record and the seats are over their having a celebration for what? Being on their knees hoping and praying they get Bedard for another torch celebration?

His schedule last year was only like 50 games + his international play, so he played far less than an NHL season + playoffs. He may not even have a specific injury, they could be letting his body rest up after what was a much more demand season than his previous one.

I agree with your assessment of Ovechkin

Amazed he's not playing, it's one less game for him to catch Gretzky

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

I'm actually rooting for Ovi to catch Gretzky, just not against the Bruins of course.

I think he is pouting about his misconduct against the Rangers, they played the Habs after that and were embarrassed in a blow out, then they say he has an upper body injury and can't play since. When he got suspended by the NHL in 2012 he refused to go to the All Star Game. The guy rarely misses games, he is almost indestructible, this is sour grapes in my opinion and he has quit for the season.

Yeah, this is the same guy who screamed at his goalie on the ice. Looked like a kid throwing a temper tantrum.

Not impressed. One of the reasons I hope he doesn't catch Gretzky.
