Pre-Game Talk: ECQF Game 5 4/21 7:30 PM - This is it.

[Greek_physique]

With the way Acciari is playing...he should move up with Bergeron/Marchand.

 

[TMac21]

Put Vatrano up with Krejci and Backes. Reunite the big line.

Is Vatrano playing thought I read he was wearing a boot brace after last game.

 

[Greek_physique]

Has Vatrano even played in this series? I haven't noticed him.

Scored the first goal for Bruins game 1 but really haven't seen him since.

 

[Sheppy]

They're done. They're mentally checked out of this series... you can tell by the way they're talking. There's not enough talent on this team... The defense is slower than all hell & they're just flat out soft. They aren't built for playoff hockey.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ottawa won tonight 5-1.

This is the kinda game that I expect Bergeron, Backes and Krejci to set the pace. If those three play the desperate hockey I think they will than Boston will walk away with this one as everyone will follow suit.

Just contain Karlsson and be aware when he's on the ice and hope that Marchand and Pastrnak can bury some chances - tonight and hopefully going forward.

The Bruins can still win this series. But their vets are going to have to step it up, get as many pucks on net as they can, and over-power this Sens team.

 

[Ladyfan]

I'm there tonight. Pray for them and pray for me.

You know what to do.

For all B's fans going tonight PLEASE cheer extra loud for our boys !

I hope to be going to a B's game Sunday

Thanks Sooshii !


HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

This really says it all.

OK folks. Please let's just start the game with positive energy !

Vatrano has played well with his limited 10 minutes of ice time. Problem is that his center and linemate decide to coast and refuses to play any defensive type of game. This leads them being in their own zone for majority of the time.

 

[Seidenbergy]

Do we prefer today's optimistic Ladyfan:

OK folks. Please let's just start the game with positive energy !

or yesterday's pessimistic Ladyfan:

I said goodbye to my pals at the Garden and wished them a good Summer.

Even if the B's were healthy they weren't going far this season. I believe the future is brighter.

At least the B's will have a long Summer to heal.

And he finishes his checks hard.

Vatrano-Krejci-Backes
Moore-Nash-Acciari
Schaller-Spooner-Stafford

or yesterday's pessimistic Ladyfan:

That just sounds like the realistic thing to be prepared. On the off chance the B's do lose. Not pessimistic!

 

[Mainehockey33]

Could be Spooner's last game as a Bruin tonight, bring on the future.
