GDT: Game 13 - 11/6 7 PM - BRUINS seek to tame the Wild - NESN, TVAS (French), WBZ-FM 98.5

[Bruinaura]

This lineup is sinking fast. Injury on injury

At the moment it feels like they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

I mean, I think things will improve as guys get healthy again, but who knows when that will be.

Yikes

 

[Square Hammer*]

Hahaha this team is in shambles due to injuries.

 

[tremha]

Marchy out tonight per cassidy

probably from when Wilson hit him

 

[Bruinaura]

probably from when Wilson hit him

That's what I'm afraid of. Sure hope it's not a concussion

 

[caz16]

Well, I'll try to stay optimistic but it is getting harder. I thought there might be a break at some point but the injuries just keep on piling up. Let's go Bruins! Hopefully the Wild will underestimate them!!

Has anyone ever sat in the promenade seats? How are They?

Customer sold me 4 for the game tonight, so my wife and some work people are going. Never been up there.

I bought them once when they were the cheapest seat available, and I was pleasantly surprised. The view is pretty good, even if you're right next to a pillar - and with four seats, that shouldn't be an issue. With four seats, you can even stand someone else in your party if it's that bad....and it really isn't. You probably jut out over around row 5 or 6 of the balcony, so it's not like you're too far back. Moveable folding chairs that are nicer than balcony and the annoying "temporary" seats in the loge, but not as nice as the cushy club/suite seats. A nice ledge for your cell phone and/or beer is there, and every seat is "row 1".

It's tough to find food up there - I think I saw a beer stand, but didn't see anything to eat. So if you're looking to eat, you might want to grab something on your way up. I agree about the isolation part - it just feels odd to shout "Tuuuuuukk" up there. I wouldn't hesitate going there again for the right price, but oftentimes the prices I see for them on StubHub are pretty ridiculous. For reference, StubHub has the 11/29 game against the Lightning for $100 plus fees in the promenade, but $115 plus fees for a fan box/suite...and I think it's worth the $15 for the suite.

Not looking forward to tonight...with Marchand injured, what non-rookie top 9 forward hasn't been injured? Pasta's about it. Nash? Schaller? That's stretching top 9. This is going to be a rough two weeks at least. And still no Dobby? Hope he's back by the time we play Toronto....

Boudreau already lining up an excuse in case the Wild get beat by the Orphan Brigade tonight.

 

[TP]

I'm scared. shitless

 

[KnightofBoston]

This line up is the pits

They need to realize nothing will be done pretty for awhile and just grind out wins

When does the regular season start?

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

I’m starting to see a pattern. Cassidy puts Agostino in the shootout, Sweeney sends him back to Providence immediately. Postma plays in the final minute with the goalie pulled instead of McAvoy, Postma is gone. I’m not complaining, both are good moves by Sweeney.

I wouldn't read too much into Postma being on the ice instead of McAvoy there. I think McAvoy was just gassed.

I don't think it's a case of Sweeney taking away guys from Cassidy anyway. i think Cassidy gives guys a chance to succeed and if they don't eventually capitalize then he moves on. Agostino had gotten PP time and a shootout chance & did nothing with either. Heinen played one shift in his spot on the PP and assisted on a goal so Cassidy gave the spot to Heinen and ultimately cut bait on Agostino. This isn't one of those "Claude's binkies" kind of situations & the TOI numbers support that.

 

[mar2kbos]

well I guess its time for a young player to step up...these injuries will tell us a lot how about their abilities and drive can keep this team a float

 

[Seidenbergy]

Of course the ice is bad and the Garden is humid. It feels like 80 degrees out with 90% humidity in November. Just wait until it starts filling up pre-game.

 

[World of Wardlow]

Who will get a point first, Beleskey or Vatrano? How long have they gone pointless?

I wasn’t completely serious, I just thought it was funny. You’re right, it’s good to see him giving guys a chance even though I was face palming when Agostino was first up in the shootout lol. And it’s not like Cehlarik I say even available right now.

Other teams run at Boston's best players with impunity. Look for Pasta to be targeted all night. Team is soft. Pasta will be injured in the next few games. Book it.

Is Szwarz playing?

Why is it every time I see this guys name I hear Sean Connery on SNL Jeopardy?

Lol, well a guy I work with knows someone who trains him so hes been asking me how Szwarz is doing. He was all excited when he found out he was called up to the big club.

This lineup is like the ****ing Titanic.
