Much appreciated, sir.

Crap no fun facts...

Bruins win Stars lose.

Go Bruins!!!

 

[Colt.45Orr]

I had a really long talk the other day with a father of one of the Stars players. I wish I could repeat some of the things he told me --it would make for a more entertaining GDT. Ah well. Pointing out the obvious here but we really need this game!

 

[northeastern]

This will be my last home game of the regular season. Hopefully got a few playoff games this season! Traveling for a bit and will be forced to sell the last few home games... Poor planning.

 

[missingchicklet]

There are no "easy" games in today's NHL, but this one should be one of the easiest of the remaining games. Hope the Bs can take care of business and get the two points.

 

[Fenway]

Thanks again to Alicat for doing the heavy lifting for tonight's GDT.

I will just add some basic game info and of course the Wayback Machine because we have plenty of history with Dallas
( and the old North Stars as well )

Tonight's Officials

Referees Jon McIsaac (2), Kelly Sutherland (11)
Linesmen Scott Cherrey (50), Greg Devorski (54)

WAYBACK MACHINE





There have been some ugly losses in Bruins history but in the regular season this is the gold standard. Steve Kaspar made Dave Lewis the second coming of Scotty Bowman

Come on boys, balls to the wall, all the way!

 

[Gee Wally]

Thanks Ali !

 

[caz16]

Thanks Alicat! Happy Birthday Fenway!!

Hoping for the momentum to keep rolling. These games against Dallas always seem to get chippy and if the Bruins were riled up in the last game....maybe we will see some fireworks for Fenway!

GO BRUINS!!!

why do I picture/envision a house in massive disorder?

Another 2pts please

 

[DominicT]

1 regulation or overtime win pretty much clinches the Bruins holding the tie-breaker versus Tampa, Carolina and the Islanders. Different story with the Leafs however. Baby steps.

I break down some possible Bruins scenarios on Kirk's blog here https://scoutingpost.com/2017/03/30/dominic-tiano-breaks-down-bruins-playoff-scenarios/

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Just win baby !!!!

 

[BsEuphoria]

Don't let this game be a trap game boys. Play every game from here on out like game 7 of the SCF's and pave your own road. 1 game at a time, no scoreboard watching, take care of your own business.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

I really, really don't like that third line.

Nope but looks like we're stuck with it.

 

[Sharp Shooting Neely]

Happy Birthday Fenway!

As Chicago found out in Flordia and the Leafs in Buffalo last week, there are no easy wins in this league. Another start like the effort against Nashville will go along way to ensuring the Bruins don't allow a similar circumstance with the Stars to take place.

Eye popping that the 7.5 million dollar player that is Speeza is playing on the 4th line.
Makes the Belesky, Hayes type situations pale in comparison.

Foot on the gas from puck drop B's.

Let's Go Bruins!

They have Hemsky at 4 mill as their Beleskey

Stars can burn a team offensively but man is their lack of attention to defensive details out there to be exposed. As you stated, if our boys come out like they did vs Nashville, they should be ok, they cannot make life easy for whomever starts for the Stars in net. I would like to see loads of traffic in front of him and not make them look like Vezina goalies

Stars playing for zippo, playing loose I imagine, dangerous recipe
