Blah

 

[BruinDust]

I'm still rotted that the league/network took away Boston's traditional Black Friday afternoon matinee.

I'm selfish, I'm working all day... hahaha

This sounds like a high school math exam trick question.

Jimmy Hayes is 5 points short of his 100th NHL point.

Based on his last 30 game point per game average, how many more games will it take Jimmy to reach his milestone?

My answer: 1.

4 goals, 1 assist tonight.

Optimism extended to the extreme?

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

I'd like to trade for Ferland for our 4th line.

Should be an easy win and boo's for Dougie. Go B's.

 

[BluesTraveler]

At this rate.. his 50th birthday ?

I love Ferland. He's pretty valued in Calgary according to most people, though.

Milestones:

Jimmy Hayes - 1 point shy of his 1st point of the season.

Jimmy Hayes - 1 point shy of his 1st point in 35 games.

 

[northeastern]

I'm upset I can't go up this one. Would have liked to have boo'd douggie. He
deserves it.

 

[nickyb]

Hutchinson in tonight?

 

[JRull86]

You can thank NBC for that one.

I went on a rant about this last night.

I do not give a **** about the Rangers whatsoever, and I'm sick and tired of seeing them on NBC every week.

McQuaid on the first pair.

 

[toasterjam]

how about

Marchand-Bergy-Pasta
Cehlarik-Krejci-Backes
Beleskey-Spooner-Czarnik
Blidh-Moore-Schaller/Nash

Please. I want Blidh.

I honestly don't see how it could even hurt letting more young guys get a chance.

Instead we get Claude saying "they have to be better" and talking about the no shows...and just keep rolling the same guys. Clearly this group of forwards cant create offense...something isn't working Claude and whatever you keep trying to do..isnt working...we arent scoring...****ing EVOLVE, something has to change.

Ideally I'm ok with saying bye to Beleskey, Spooner, Hayes (of course)

 

[Blowfish]

McQuaid on the first pair.

What is wrong with this coach?

 

[Ladyfan]

Going with my daughter tonight.

Please win.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[Sheppy]

I'll be able to catch the first period then I'll be heading out to an Xmas party. Yes, an xmas party... in November. I'm off work right at five and will have my first beer poured at 5:08.

[Sharp Shooting Neely]

It's finally here! The viewing time is limited given the current schedule make up. Many will take the opportunity and use tonight's game as a chance to look closely at his play to perhaps see skill and ability that may have been overlooked in initially evaluating the value of the player to the team. Young, talented and filled with promise. But alas, it wasn't meant to be. Don't boo or bash just tip your cap and let him know we feel no resentment with not being able to make it worth and wish him well. As you sit and watch either in person or from your favourite perch tonight just drink it all in. Let's try to just be happy for him in Calgary, now officially the home for #25, Mr. Freddie Hamilton. The one that got away

 

[Absurdity]

This is a big game for the Bruins. After a horrible team effort yesterday, this game will show us who this team really is. A replicated performance should warrant some type of change.

flames GDT is awesome
