Pre-Game Talk: SCF GAME 6 - 6/9 - It is the best of times, it is the worst of times

[Bruinfanatic]

The Bruins have been in a Game 6 elimination situation 24 times in franchise history and are 11-13 overall and 7-5 when those games were played on the road. Sunday will be the sixth time the Bruins have been behind, 3-2, in the Stanley Cup Final.

Not great numbers,I going to base my hopes on how they responded being down to the Leafs and hope for the same response.

 

[BMC]

Small question, is Kevan Miller injured? Or is he overpassed by Kampfer?

Injured- broken knee cap. And man do we miss him...

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

holy shit

 

[BMC]

holy ****

I don't f***ing believe this....

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Injured- broken knee cap. And man do we miss him...

Yeah don’t think the Blues forwards would have been so brave in the Bruins end.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

I don't ****ing believe this....

not in a non-contact jersey either

if he's good to go, do you play him and if so then where & who sits?

 

[BMC]

I know they wouldn't.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

holy ****

It is even money that Acciari can't go, so there's your guy to sit

 

[BMC]

Is that a no contact jersey?

Yup

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

It is even money that Acciari can't go, so there's your guy to sit

thought Acciari was held out for protocol but was otherwise OK. Has he been missing from practice since game 5?

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

Is that a no contact jersey?

it's a regular jersey. non-contact jerseys are red.

Backes and Heinen are the two guys that don't really do special teams work, so those are your options I think if everyone's healthy. I wouldn't agree at all with sitting but I guess that would be the move if your game plan is to try and run them through the boards

 

[BMC]

I don't know but I would sit him anyway. JMO.

74-46-90
43-13-14

vs

74-46-42
90-13-14

honestly not sure which way I'd go. Would like to take a hit everything that moves approach but also desperately need to get the 2nd line going so keeping Heinen in gives you options. tough call.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

He isn’t really a good fit for the second line,but then neither is Backes,I think the forth line has a little more offensive side with him on it over Acciari.I guess Acciari.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

I don't know but I would sit him anyway. JMO.

idk...if he's cleared he plays if it was up to me. he has been a warrior and this game is gonna be a f***ing war.

Could also see them go with

74-46-20
43-13-90
52-55-14

Honestly that might be my first choice...

4th line has been great all year. 3rd line has been great all postseason. Nordstrom had some success with that 2nd line in the regular season and has been great this postseason.

BOING

 

[McGarnagle]

Wagner would bump Acciari IMO.

 

[northeastern]

Need the top 6 to be the top 6 here or it doesn't matter....wish it was game night

 

[winterwill]

 

[Bruinfanatic]

It’s hard to say with Wagner early on in the playoffs he sucked,he sat out a while than looked good.So which one do we get

 

[Tbrady12]

OK! Chara broken jaw, plays next game. Wagner had a cast on nis hand and arm in the video on Behind the B, game 4. That was 3 weeks ago if my math is right? No way a broken anything in the arm, hand, wrist is healed that fast. Just continues to prove that Hockey is on another level.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

f*** it

force a game 7

then run:
Marchand-Bergeron-Pasta
JDB-Krejci-Backes
Jojo-Coyle-Wags
Nord-Kuraly-Acciari

trench f***ing warfare
