In their previous ten visits to Dallas, the Bruins are 8-1-1, so they've had success there, and the fan support is usually good(like it was in Denver).

That was when they played as a team that they did so well against the Stars. Their results against Dallas could be disastrous on Thursday.

I do not expect much.

 

[BMC]

Because they want the guy to be Ray Bourque instead of asking him to be Charlie McAvoy.

I think there are 9.5 million reasons for that.

That's when they (Bruins) always win.

I'm having a real hard time getting excited for games this season. Team is sloppy, taking a ton of penalties, and the young guys (Poitras, Lorhei) haven't taken the steps forward we'd hoped, especially Lorhei after he looked amazing in the playoffs.

Watching the on ice product, I have no idea how we're third in the division. Hopefully that sticks and they can play their way out of this funk.

 

[Thirty Seven]

Not expecting much.

Coach is struggling to figure out his team and the team is struggling to figure out how to play a full game.

 

[Sigh]

I think there are 9.5 million reasons for that.

LOL, I wonder what Ray could've got in this market.

Always win, well I do not remember a Stanley Cup since 2011. Good teams but not invincible.

 

[HockeyMomx2]

I just want to watch them play an entire 60 minutes like they actually give a $*!#.

I haven’t seen it yet this season. No signs of it ever happening again either

 

[Ludwig Fell Down]

I just want to watch them play an entire 60 minutes like they actually give a $*!#.

That strikes me as an unreasonable ask for this team . . .

Anyway, I’ll watch this game tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Kate08]

Have a roast in the oven. It’s frigid and windy and I worked from home today so why the f*** not.

Beef and Bruins, at least if the team sucks tonight dinner will be good.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

These guys are having fun, zero accountabilty why not.

 

[RI.B FAN]

A fast start will be great and some hard hits would be even better way to get that energy going

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Would there be any benefit to them going around being super serious and miserable? Lots of sports psychology and historical precedent says no. Like all things it's a balance, need times to be serious and laser-focused, times for harsh truths and blunt speech, times too to relax a bit and have some fun. No team will succeed that isn't enjoying itself.

This roster does have an accountability problem, and an intensity problem, and a consistency problem. And more besides, I'm sure. But I'm not going to judge them or think they're not trying to address those things simply because they've got some smiles on their faces or are messing around for part of a practice. That's too narrow a view, IMO. Their balance and their whole approach might well be wrong. But this alone doesn't tell me that.

 

[Mione134]

I hate the Blues. The Bruins make me me aggravated.

Just win, please? Pretty please? And have shots on goal.

 

[Ladyfan]

I want to see effort, swagger and smiles. I have seen some glimpses but need a full 60.

Hey Steve, I hope the Bruins win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

I was at the one loss and it was ugly times. Hoping for better on Thursday, And yes, there are always tons of Bruin fans there- I'd guess 25-30% of the crowd, or at least it seemed that way looking around.

 

[Boston Bandit]

f*** the Blues

Bruins need to play like a machine like the old days

Start a winning streak - GO BRUINS!

IMO it is a good news if roster is loose and having fun.

They could grumble, say learned and empty phrases and then get no shots on goal OR they could have fun in practice working hard and concentrated and bring positive energy to the game and win or put on a good show
