Was hoping for a nice, sassy, afternoon game.

You'll get 2 sassy afternoon games back to back @ 1:00 p.m. Eastern on Friday Nov. 24th (Red Wings @ Boston) and Saturday Nov. 25th (Boston @ Rangers)

I’m a big afternoon game guy. Wake up, nice breakfast.

When I say afternoon I mean morning because I definitely pour a pint at 11 am. That’s when the Bruins typically play during their “afternoon games” - I say afternoon because I’m speaking to the majority here, haha.

Jake is packed and ready to go

Me too. Love a matinee!

Some more lohrei magic today. Let's go.

F the Red Wing...

I have a feeling this will be hilariously high scoring. Like a 6-5 game.

Who is 6 and who is 5?

 

[UncleRico]

And, When was the last time you predicted a Boston win during this undefeated season?

1) did you just quote yourself and ask yourself a question?

2) they aren’t undefeated, they lost in OT

 

[smithformeragent]

F the Red Wing...

Lmao.

There’s a guy on Catholic Radio named Lino Rulli who regularly talks about betting on sports and always refers to teams in the singular.

The Viking
The Jet
The Brave

 

[Oates2Neely]

I’ll take a 7pm start over a matinee 10 out 10 times. Especially on a Saturday

 

[rfournier103]

Too much to call this a ‘big game?’

There’s a chance here to establish dominance. As Metallica said once: “Advantages are taken, not handed out.”

You know what to do, Bruins. Get out there and do it.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Can't wait to see how Poitras and Lohrei do today.. love those 2 guys on your squad

 

[Saxon Eric]

3-2 OT win

 

[Ladyfan]

I am glad it is on NESN

 

[Ladyfan]

3-2 OT win

Bs?

 

[Alicat]

This will have to be the GDT. I'm not going to be able to get to it. I will 100% be back for Dallas

Projected lines are looking like…

JVR - Zacha - Pasta
March - Coyle - JDB
Freddy - Poitras - Geekie
Heinen - Beecher - Steen

If JVR doesn’t bring his A game I think we could see him flipped for Heinen. Otherwise, I like the lines.

The Coyle line takes a lot of the defensive load but still outshoots their opponents. The Zacha line draws attention but that trio did well at the start of the year so it’s worth another look. And with all the other teams heavy hitters focused on the Pasta and Marchand lines, Poitras can run the show with two heavy wingers.

I do not like that bottom 6.

The FPG 3rd line did not look good a few games ago when Monty first put it together. Hope they gel and that changes otherwise the lines will be in a blender again all game. Not to our benefit.
That 4th is just disjointed, what's the identity there? Hope to be surprised, maybe Heinen can get Steen going.

 

[KrugAvoy]

7pm/730pm games are top
1pm games are 2nd
5pm matinee or any start after 9pm are the worst

What game was that? FPG has dominated their opposition, outshooting them 31-17, which is the best differential of any line Poitras has played on.

I agree the 4th line has no identity at the moment, but not sure there is a solution to that with Lucic and Lauko injured. At this point they're just trying to put a line together that doesn't get caved in.

 

[NDiesel]

Have my own hockey game at 7, wish I didn't miss the start of this one. I think we see a nice offensive outburst against the Wings, they give up a lot of goals.

I believe it was 2 games ago? Frederick was posted to Poitras to give him some "protection" I think the line lasted a period before it got put on puree.

I always remember having Yzerman and Chiasson in my playoff hockey pools back in the mid to late 80s. Not sure I can name one red wing today.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Bs?

Of course
