GDT: POSTPONED - Bruins vs Addawah in Boston Monday 7pm EST NESN & 98.5 The HUB

[internetdotcom]

Greetings, Boston fans. Just wanted to say that I've been watching coverage of today's tragedy in Boston. I hope you are all well, and your loved ones and friends as well. Our thoughts are with all of those affected by this terrible tragedy.

 

[Rookie Chargers]

At best play the game in front of an empty building, fine but do NOT pack people in there

On X-Box maybe, you forgot about the players.

 

[Alwalys]

Absolutely correct to be postponed. Can't have another big crowd event with such events having just happened, for all kinds of reasons.

 

[SupremefartMachine]

There's no way the NHL is gonna make the Bruins play a game 3 nights in a row. That's incredibly unfair and will lead to injuries.

There is simply no other option. The Bruins play every other night through the end of the season.

Ottawa also plays 3 in a row.

 

[Danton Heineken]

There is simply no other option. The Bruins play every other night through the end of the season.

Bruins should just forfeit the game then. Not like they'll need the 2 points.

 

[KuralySnipes]

It was obvious that tonight's game would be cancelled. Would be stupid to play a game during this event. JFK Library just reported an explosion, as well.

 

[OmniSens]

Right call. Hopefully all of you are safe in Boston. Hang in there boys.

Play it after the end of the reg season? Or more accurately, make it the last game of the regular season, the day after the season is currently scheduled to end.

Hope this is coming from city police; if the league is doing this, it shows a horrible understanding of risk.

Putting 20,000 people in a building is not more dangerous 8 hours after a bomb goes off than it was the night before.

 

[Gus Fring]

Terrible terrible news, hope all of your loved ones are safe.

Depends if they want to catch Montreal, those 2 points may be more valuable then.

The cluster**** of a short season gets worse with the Celtics going into the playoffs too, makes it unlikely that they get this game without playing a couple in a row prior

 

[biggles8]

Had to shut the game down , no question . They've gotta sweep the entire city before they can even imagine putting 20 k into a building .
God bless all those affected by this terrorist attack .
I've been in one and it's a shocker for all

There aren't enough facepalms for this comment.

Really?

 

[meunier33]

Doing a Garden doubleheader is not THAT much of a problem.

 

[Absurdity]

It is the right thing to do.

that's a good idea, but if it turns out to be meaningless in standings

 

[ap3lovr]

Crappy news, I cut myself off from the world earlier today. I hope everyone on here and their loved ones are OK.

 

[QuattroFTW]

I think if at the end of the season the 2 points doesn't affect the standings of either team it might not be played. But doesn't every team have to play the same # of games?

I'd say you either have a "horrible understanding of risk" or a horrible understanding of the situation. They've been finding numerous devices that hadn't gone off yet, a game where 10s of thousands of people are is a pretty ideal target. A hockey game is not worth risking lives.

On that note, our hearts go out to you guys from Toronto. Hope everyone and their families have stayed safe.

Some mlb teams only played 161 some years

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Hope all of you guys are safe. Stay inside. No game is worth a life, glad it's postponed

 

[NotProkofievian]

To all the Boston based posters here, and those with friends and loved ones in Boston, I sincerely hope that you, your loved ones, and friends are safe, and were not directly affected by the despicable act of violence in Boston today.

... but the Bruins / Sabres game on Wednesday won't be?

Keep calm and carry on, Boston ...

 

[Topside]

Hang in there guys.
