Pre-Game Talk: Bruins at Flames: 12/17/24: 9:00pm EST

[KillerMillerTime]

haha this was a good one I admit
.

How about a hot Marchand and a yet to be unwound Pastrnak?

Bad thing for Boston is Flames are huge homers. Must have biggest difference in home away record in NHL.

I think we all need to temper our expectations of Oliver Wahlstrom. He's not going to walk through the door and start firing pucks past goaltenders. He will need to adjust to Boston's system and new teammates.

I just want elias lindholm to explode. He got a point last game let's go!

Lets hope the play with the same urgency as last game win or lose just play hard

Will it be Jekyll or Hyde tonight I wonder

I'm wondering if it is a Jekyll or Hyde situation, or if they are simply an average team that shows brief stints of under/overachieving.

My annual birthday gift is a Bruins Flames game. I'll be there tonight.

The bar has been set pretty low though. If he can’t be better than Johnson and McLaughlin , he’s got problems.

23 yo. 33 career games. Pretty decent numbers for a young guy.

Making this more impressive is that this kid was a 7th round draft pick who seems to have skyrocketed since his draft year.

Wolf is amazing. Best young goalie in the game imo.

Except for tonight. The red light is going to burn his ass tonight .

Upgrade over McLaughlin so that's good

Facing second California Goalie in a row. Hopefully they pump 5 past him also.

I think they beat the Kraken, lose to the Nucks and get blown out by the Oilers. Only one I'm not sure about is the Flames.

Well, you got the first 2 wrong - I think most of us did!

My annual birthday gift is a Bruins Flames game. I'll be there tonight.

This is what will likely be an annual gift to my son and his wife living in Calgary. I have a special interest in this game… they have to win this one for your sake and my families!

Get these 2 points then try your best to salvage a point in Edmonton and we have a successful road trip.

Go Bruins!

Wahlstrom playing tonight? We know any line combos? Interested where they thinking of trying him.

[lopey]

Good move. Need some time to practice with team

 

[FRyan4426]

Does Koepke have pictures of Sacco or something? Useless player.

Leads team in plus minus 9. Must not be as useless as you think

Yeah not sure what that poster is watching. Night in snd night out he has been one of the most consistent players. Not going to score a lot but a perfect 4th line player

Not useless. Has speed some of the others lack. He's a bottom end guy though so maybe your expectations for him are too high.

Depends.

Which period are you asking about?
