Gotta win dis yo

 

[Reality Czech]

I haven't been posting much since game one, been mostly doing deep breathing exercises. But seems like the Blues came out a little too fired up, trying too hard to be aggressive, and took some unnecessary penalties as a result. I hope the team has also done some deep breathing too and can get back to the style that got them to this point. Just play that hard, heavy game, pressure the puck, win battles and keep possession in the O zone longer. Can't let the B's set the pace, and for God's sake stay out of the box. Let's do this boys!

 

[PiggySmalls]

I’m excited to see their response tonight. As much as I wanted Thomas in there, when he got hurt last series, his play suffered. I hope Fabbri has a solid game and doesn’t get caught puck watching too often.

Was really hoping to see Dunn tonight. Not having a PMD on that 3rd pairing hurts.

I agree...but I also want someone to take a run at Krug.

 

[Blueston]

We're gonna win tonight.

 

[Reality Czech]

Would be nice but he'll get hit plenty if we just play our normal style. Bruins played like the confident champ who's been there before so the Blues can't get rattled and get off their game. Stick with the program.

 

[DangledUpinBlues]

What we do tonight echoes through all eternity. Or something like that.

 

[MissouriMook]

I think I'd rather see Eddy dropped down with Borts and have Gunnarsson with Petro. Aside form that, I don't see much I would change about the posted lineup. I think Fabbri will have an impact on the game, I just hope it is the O zone and not the D zone.

I expect to see a game much like Game 2 against the Sharks. Hopefully we can get out to a lead and keep the pressure on for 60 minutes. These guys are pros, so you shouldn't have to tell them, but all 19 guys need to leave it all out on the ice tonight and not worry about the next game. Having two days off before Game 3 will give them plenty of time to recuperate.

 

[Chippewa]

Feel significantly worse about this game and thus this series with both Dunn and Thomas out.......

 

[Ranksu]

I would rather see MacMac tuen Fabbri in,but...

 

[The Note]

Thomas being out is obviously a blow but I don’t think it should be the difference between winning and losing. I think Fabbri, with the way that line is used, can do an adequate job filling in and I’d certainly have him in the lineup over Sanford. I’d really like to see big games from Perron and ROR.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Just f***ing win

Please

 

[elkranio]

Please win. Pretty please.

 

[mk80]

I'd like to have Thomas in the lineup, but he's obviously been dealing with an injury like many for a while now (being kept out of practices) that I'm sure was aggravated after the Krug hit. But I think given how fast the Bruins are, we could utilize Fabbri's speed in this series, that is definitely one advantage he has brought in every game he's been in this season.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

I agree...but I also want someone to take a run at Krug.

The refs will be looking for something tonight against Krug, we need to make sure we do not do anything remotely close to a penalty or it will be called, smart play is to save it for next year or late in the series IF this goes late lol

[JoshFromMO]

Forecheck, backcheck, paycheck boys!

Yeah Thomas has played <12 minutes in 5 of the last 6 games. His line has been our 4th line at even strength, I'm not sweating the difference between a banged up Thomas and healthy Fabbri for 10-11 minutes a game.

[ScratchCatFever]

We're gonna win tonight.

 

[ScottieDsntKnow]

Man I just don't know about Fabbri anymore. In his limited action in both playoffs and regular season he's been one of our worst forwards.

Every single player needs to step up. No more offensive zone penalties.

 

[ScratchCatFever]

Fabbri is hungry.
