Pre-Game Talk: 10/24 - Game 6 - Bears in the Windy City - Bruins @ Chicago - 8:30pm ET, ESPN, 98.5FM

There will be no besmerching of Uncle Nick. I only wish my dad could have seen him play for the Bruins because he really liked his game.

Foligno is a consummate professional and a damn good player in his prime and an even better guy off the ice. Any team is better if he's on it. His career stats speak for themselves.

He's not on the B's any more and reached out to Monty after his mom passed to leave his condolences. Monty got very emotional recalling that before opening night. That speaks volumes of what kind of person he is.

We were damn lucky to have him on the Bruins. I wish it had ended better.

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of his play at all, but you absolutely cannot dog his character. He's a damn good dude.

 

[KnightofBoston]

I know! I looked 3x to make sure I wasn't looking at the wrong player. Time certainly flies.

God, it sucks. Feels like just yesterday I was watching black n gold confetti rain down on the streets of Boston as the duck boats road by

His play was not good for a good portion of his time here and you can't dispute that. He knew he wasn't playing well yet still busted his ass and set a great example for the younger guys in the room.

See 2022-2023 Boston Bruins, best record in NHL history.



I love 7:30 AM Premier League soccer on Saturdays.

Should be having tea, but being a typical American, its coffee with the game.

Same. Saturday and Sunday mornings, PL from 7:30 until noon. I’m relatively new to the PL (about 6-7 years) but spending time in England made me appreciate that part of their culture.

As to not derail the thread, Go Bruins!!!

Lucic left the morning skate apparently. Looks like he's still hurting.

That stinks. Let the big guy rest up

Hawks 3-2 in a chippy, frenetic, poorly officiated game.

Yay, now I know that the B's will win.

Bruins at Blackhawks: A rookie showdown in the Windy City - The Boston Globe

Promising newcomer Matt Poitras and the unbeaten Bruins take on vaunted rookie Connor Bedard and the Blackhawks for the second time this season.

www.bostonglobe.com

The Bruins are three games into a four-game road trip, and they have plenty to write home about.

They improved to 5-0-0 on the season with a 3-1 victory at Anaheim Sunday, which completed a three-game California sweep and extended their season-opening undefeated run to the second-longest in team history. Only the 1937-38 Bruins (6-0-0) had a better start.

Sunday’s star was 19-year-old rookie Matthew Poitras, who scored his first two career goals in the third period to tie and win the game. Only four Bruins have recorded their first multi-goal game at a younger age over the past 30 years, including the team’s current leading scorer, David Pastrnak.

The Bruins will make their next stop tonight in the Windy City, where they’ll take on vaunted rookie Connor Bedard and the Blackhawks for the second time this season.

The Blackhawks have lost four of their last five games, dating back to a 3-1 loss to the Bruins at TD Garden Oct. 11. Bedard was Chicago’s lone scorer in that game.

Should be a fun game, I’m excited to hear all about Connor Bedard again.

And does anyone else feel like the Hall & Carlo thing is more about Hall being injury prone than Carlo? I love Taylor, but seriously.

 

[Kegs]

Swaymans turn? Asking for my fantasy league :p

It was a freak accident. The guys loved Hall and Carlo would never intentionally hurt someone.

Swaymans turn? Asking for my fantasy league :p

That's what it looks like

 

[Sheppy]

There's zero reason to switch the rhythm right now, no issues with them going to Swayman especially when they've seen Ullmark already.

If they go this route, I hope they continue it during the post season, too.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

i think beecher needs more icetime.

 

[missingchicklet]

Really wish Looch was able to play tonight with the possibility of someone taking a run at a B over the Carlo incident. Hopefully Nick told the team that Carlo is as close to a choir boy as they come in the NHL and nothing stupid will happen.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

His play was not good for a good portion of his time here and you can't dispute that. He knew he wasn't playing well yet still busted his ass and set a great example for the younger guys in the room.

His first year in Boston he played hurt.

He was pretty effective last season.
