Yep, and I'm at the "just show me" stage now.

See you there.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Its November.

I guess it would depend on how they lost a good effort that came up short because of a really hot goalie ,not so much another totally bad effort to me would show their are some issues going on.

 

[Gordoff]

Your just old school .Losing Lucic was a kick in nads because instead of everyone growing 2 inches they shrunk.

Like jumping into ice-water.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Lets not make the hole go all the way to Australia, please.

Sounds fine to me - if the Bruins suddenly pop out of the ground here I'll be first in line to give the goalies a hug. And hand Poitras a beer, since down under he can legally drink!

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

I wonder if Montgomery is going to start feeling the heat if tomorrow is another no show?

Nah . B's are 14-4-3 in a year most expected a .500 record.

They are just hitting a bump in the 82 game road.

Idk if most expected a .500 record. There’s a poll a few pages back from before the season that asked where bruins finish and 72% of people said they were a playoff team.

I don't often make predictions but I have one for this game .

Marchand takes a cheap dangerous hit (miraculously not injured ) Bruins empty the bench everyone is on the ice including JM and the rest of the staff even Sophia . SJS also on the ice in . Fans get on the ice acting mostly as paramedics . CNN interrupts their normal coverage for an NHL special . An hour later everyone is ejected . 3 days later B's receive news they've been suspended for the rest of the season, Jacob's threatens to sue.

*Jack has a seizure Brick administers first and he recovers

Sounds more like a nightmare

 

[Tbaybruin]

Potrais with 2 tomorrow one will be of the spectacular variety

Potrais with 2 tomorrow one will be of the spectacular variety

Hopefully he's not the new 'Krecji'

 

[The don godfather]

Easy slam dunk 2 points in the basket . Enjoy your Thursday.

 

[capecodder]

I'm hoping no Bruin gets whack a moled. Baby steps

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Sharks lineup is just AHL level. Two points a must. Really anything less than a 5-1 win would be a major upset.

Heinen on line 2, Grzelcyk on first D pair, well let's just get those duck boats ready. Can see Montgomery is really following through on his desire to be harder to watch, uh I mean play against.

This lineup makes sloths look like crazed killers.

Softest Bruins lineup in quite some time. I honestly don't care as long as they win, but nothing seems to make them mad...including getting beat soundly, they just go out with a whimper.

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

I blamed the soft style on Cassidy. Now we have somehow gotten even softer. This is 100% on Don Sweeney who, for whatever reason, clearly hates players who play with anything more than a pulse.

It's the system I'm guessing...20th in hits/60....13th in blocks/60...17th in giveaways, 29th in takeaways...just not a very aggressive team in general in any facet. Big difference this year in PP time vs PK time as well, not drawing the penalties they generally do and taking some more lazy ones.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

The psychology behind the undeserved goalie pull has never made any sense to me. You're already 2-0 down, to lowly Columbus, and trying to snap a mini losing streak. What more incentive do you need to wake up and start playing harder and better? If a goalie's having a bad night, then by all means yank him and give the other guy a go. If it then gives the team a little jolt and perhaps some renewed confidence that pucks will stay out of their net, fine. Otherwise, just let the netminder get on with his job.

Those practice top 6 lines are interesting. No reason why DeBrusk-Zacha-Pasta can't work, just depends if the chemistry is there. Poitras and Heinen have shown something previously, but Matt and Marchand have struggled to gel and seemed to be communicating on different wavelengths. Well not much harm in trying again with them plus Danton and seeing how it shapes up. What they've had the last few games certainly wasn't working.

 

[capecodder]

At least the B's are at home so if they pull another no show the boo birds will be out in force

 

[UConn126]

Bought 2 tix for tonight, gonna take my buddy to his first Bruins game. Hopefully they put on a good show.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

In terms of goaltending, all I care about is that we keep the rotation going in the playoffs.

It's insane to me that such a proven tactic is (was) completely abandoned in the postseason until it was way too late.

 

[HustleB]

Idk if most expected a .500 record. There’s a poll a few pages back from before the season that asked where bruins finish and 72% of people said they were a playoff team.

I think 72% is a modest number for making the playoffs from most local fanbases. 50% of the teams make it and most fans have higher expectations for their local team then they should. I wonder what the baseline would be around the NHL if you asked all fans if there team was likely to make the playoffs. I think you might land right in the same range as our 72%.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Oh, I absolutely admit I get a little carried away when it comes to the points I'm trying to make or my opinions. I feel like I'm more frustrated than they are.

Ultimately I'm just not finding their brand of hockey enjoyable these days, even in some of their wins.

Sorry to hear that.

 

[Alicat]

This will have to do for the GDT. Not having my own laptop with me was a stupid move on my part now that work is clamping down.

I can have something for Saturday as I can use my mom's computer at night.

Regular GDT's that look normal will return on December 31st.

I apologize for being all over the place.

Bruins get back to business tonight.

Poitras and Marchand both like to hang on to the puck a lot ,they both seem to have a pass mentality,so Heinen is going to be the goal scorer on that line ,hey I’m no expert I could be wrong,but I’m predicting it’s not going to work,not unless Brad or Poitras starts shooting more.
