Pre-Game Talk: The Story Thus Far.. (Boston at Carolina)

How is Faulk doing? Still injured?

This is all I've been able to find. Posted 30 mins ago:

Decision on Faulk Coming Monday

Justin Faulk left Friday night’s game in Buffalo in the second period with an upper-body injury and did not return. Officially day-to-day, he practiced with the team Sunday, but Muller said a final decision would be made tomorrow on his playing status.

“We’ll see how he responds tomorrow from skating and working it today,†Muller said. “If he feels good from the workout today, he could be in the lineup tomorrow.â€

For his part, Faulk said he felt OK but noted that he did sit out one drill during practice.

How is Faulk doing? Still injured?

We had a season ticket holder skate today. Faulk practiced and according to John Forslund during some Q&A, Faulk hopes to play tomorrow.

That's as good as hearsay, but combined with Novacane's answer it's all we know at this point.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Apparently McQuaid isn't expected to play.

Per Chip - Faulk at practice, status for game uncertain.

After Char chews out Chara, we should choose to send him to Charlotte.

Thought we were talkin about Char not Gleason. Oh that's right, Gleason likes puppies.

Wonder how long before Tlusty gets it going?

 

[bb99]

Tlusty has looked good all around just not on the score sheet yet. I feel like he'll get a few before long.

He has shot a few easy wristers at the net but I haven't seen him get any good scoring chances so far. As always, he has been solid defensively so that's not a concern. But, if he is going to stick on either of the top lines this season he is going to have to start creating scoring chances. It's still early and as we saw last year he has the capability to produce offensively. He hasn't done that so far but I think he will. He has what two games playing with E. Staal?

Aside from the completely empty net against Tampa, right?

He musta had a Master Ball. Thems is tough catchin'

Not necessarily that tough to catch, but tough to find. They don't ever pop up in the wild, at least sans cheat code- you can only get the starter pokemon at the beginning of the game or via trade. Breeding a bunch to trade to friends is the legitimate way to do that, starting 20 new games on a second gameboy and trading the starter away a bunch of times is the normal way to do that.

Is Westgarth going to play for you guys tonight?

Is Westgarth going to play for you guys tonight?

I'd expect so. He's been in the lineup for the past 3 games and there's probably more reason to have him out there against the Bruins than against the Lightning or Sabres.

Anton Khudobin was first off ice for Bruins. Could be in goal.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Антон Худобин gets the start.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Антон Худобин gets the start.

Unfortunately Антон Анатолійович Бабчук doesn't for us...

First guy off the ice always gets the start for the Bruins. That's basically a confirmation.
