GDT: SCF: Game 2 | NBCSN 7 P.M. | Bounce Back Blues

[ort]

I really really really (really) want them to win tonight.

Like, a lot.

 

[Reality Czech]

Fabbri is hungry.

Well let's hope he has a healthy, filling meal before the game!

Tough to see Thomas out but will be interesting to see Fabs in there. Total wildcard, I could see him scoring a key goal or see him -2 and struggling to keep up. We need more from our bottom six, although I recognize they have their hands full. Let's hope they can provide a spark because that could be the difference in the series.

Let's get to our A game and stop fumbling about.

That's the perfect definition of Fabbri's season this year. Some games he's looked great, some games not so much.

These last few hours of work are going to draaaaaaaaaag.

Reasons for pessimism: You watched game 1

Reasons for optimism:

This team has repeatedly demonstrated that it can adjust the breakout to deal with another team's system after struggling to adjust in-game.

Binny doesn't like losing 2 in a row.

I have to imagine discipline has been a major theme over the last 2 days and this team has generally been able to stay on the right side of the line. I don't expect a lack of physicality, but I expect some of the nonsense to stop.

Tarasenko appears to be in a groove.

All in all, I'm more nervous than I have been these playoffs since OT of game 7 vs Dallas. But I'm still very, very excited.

 

[Note Worthy]

We're gonna win tonight.

I think so too...

 

[GoldenSeal]

We're here, why can't it be us? Steal us a game, Binny

I still believe. Let's Go Blues!!

Jesus that's Letterman-level special effects right there. Did they get that prob bear from the local carnival?

Bortuzzo tonight = the Hulk in this video

Marchand obviously the bear.

 

[TheDizee]

i dont think blues will be losing a home game this series, just a matter of finding a way to win 1 in boston who is tough at home.

 

[TK 421]

Lol at some of these Bruin fans thinking G1 was our best. They will find out soon enough how this team gets better as the series goes on.

 

[Stealth JD]

I'd actually entrust Sanford over Fabbri at this stage of the playoffs...but I'll take contributions from either if they're given a chance. Blues need to stop handling the puck like it's a grenade and play their game. They're giving the Bruins too much respect and it's time for them to command some respect of their own. Go hard to the net and through those small defenders. And for the love of God, stay out of the box. Next guy who takes an O-zone penalty ha5 7o bag-skate on that extra off-day built into the Finals schedule.

 

[Boyesfan]

Also can someone please please nail Krug with a very hard clean and legal check. I'm looking at you Blais... I still remember that time Oshie nailed Krug.. The funny part is I truly don't understand why I hate Krug so much..

 

[BlueDream]

I like Fabbri being in. Thomas didn’t look right. Let’s hope Fabs is fired up and brings some tenacity.

Dunn is probably back for game 3. At least he’s getting close.

 

[BlueKnight]

I'm not too worried. I think we'll see a much better Blues team today. Sucks to hear about Thomas. I like that Fabbri is in i hope he has a good game. Hopefully Dunn will be back next game.

 

[Shwabeal]

I have 6 extra tickets to the watch party tonight if anyone local is interested. $5/each. PM me if interested.

 

[Em etah Eh]

Just stay out of the box tonight, please. Can we somehow limit Edmunson to like 8 minutes or less?

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Just win

 

[mk80]

Let me just set this down here

 

[Halak Ness Monster]

Calling it:

Win tonight and we win the series.
Lose tonight and the Bruins win the series.

2-0 hole is just gonna be too much to climb out of vs. this strong of a team.

1-1 coming home? That's a lot of momentum. And it gives us some breathing room to drop a game at home like we did vs. SJ. At worst I'd see 2-2 going into Game 5 if we can win tonight.

I certainly won't give up if we lose tonight but damn the odds are really gonna be stacked against us against a truly great team.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Can we get a Fabbri multi-goal game, amazing injury comeback to Stanley Cup MVP storyline going? I could really enjoy that.

I was thinking the same thing. The comeback story within the comeback season. Probably asking a bit much, but we’ve seen some strange things already this year.

 

[blues hillbilly]

IMO, Boston has the meekest set of forwards we have played in the playoffs. Play em clean and heavy.

Personally, I'd like to see Mackenzie get the call on the third line against Backes. A few big hits from Mac on Backes and others will slow them down. Mac's a 200 ft player, works the boards well against anyone and has a good head and great shot.
I hope I'm wrong about Fabbri wilting into a little noise, no substance and marginal effect on the outcome.

100% agree. Tonight is the closest to a must win so far this entire season, after game 7 vs Dallas.

Thanks for making the GDT tonight. I am just now getting home. Been a long ass day. Can't wait to watch a Blues win tonight.
