#88 David Does Dallas..I'll see myself out

 

[bobbyorr04]

Dallas is definitely one of the better teams in the league, so the B's might need a 30+ save performance by their goaltender, and will have to score at least 2 or 3 goals ...and stay out of the penalty box

never mind .....when's the next game??

The last 5 games Dallas has played they are playing.500 hockey. A good team but not setting the world on fire lately.

 

[22Brad Park]

Let's go

 

[TD Charlie]

I care less about the win than the performance itself.

 

[bruinsfan1968]

Hopefully they come out and play inspired, if not Monty should be fired!

 

[The don godfather]

Bruins will be ready book it!

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Stars were slumping offensively until their last game, a 7-1 win over the Pens. Now they get the undermanned Bruins defensive to feast on.

Stars are #1 in goals against.

So it doesn't look good.

I like these kinds of games. Except when it's the Hurricanes.

 

[Ladyfan]

SO..Who do we have on defense tonight?

 

[Oates2Neely]

Bruins 4 Stars 2

 

[caz16]

This will be tough but there is always hope. They may need a bit of puck luck but two points are absolutely attainable.

Fortunately, the Atlantic is weak so far. Lots of time to right the ship.

 

[BMC]

I care less about the win than the performance itself.

Yup, if they play energetic & smart hockey I'll be happy even if they lose.

Losing sucks but it is much worse when they play like they don't give a damn.

 

[TobanWest]

If they come out with piss n vinegar they may pull it off. I want a mean and physical game from the team. Dallas could be that team (again). Play like you mean it and hit everything in sight. Need a Zadorov beating on someone.

 

[22Brad Park]

SO..Who do we have on defense tonight?

Just guessing in no particular order McAvoy Lohrei Wotherspoon Carlo Osterle Zadorov

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Yup, if they play energetic & smart hockey I'll be happy even if they lose.

I'm never happy when they lose (in regulation).

The Bruins?

I don't see that as even a remote possibility with their personnel.

 

[goldenblack]

So Sway, and no Hampus or Peeke. I have that about right?

SO..Who do we have on defense tonight?

Well Peake was playing very well and got hurt. Then Hampus was playing well and got hurt. So they'll have either the defensemen that weren't playing well, or lose the next one that does play well.

It would be very... Bruins... to add Oesterle and Brown to this line up.

 

[nORRis8]

After a strong start Dallas are 5-5 in their last 10.
This could be an interesting one.
If we show the unexpected heart that we had in last games 3rd period, we'll be competitive.

 

[the negotiator]

It would be very... Bruins... to add Oesterle and Brown to this line up.

The possible recall of Brown is a a sad commentary on both call-up philosophy and overall depth in Providence

[NDiesel]

I truly can't wrap my head around Brown being called up if true. Like why him instead of Merk for a struggling offensive team? We really just going to go for 1-0 or 2-1 wins at this point.
