A tough test tonight that's for sure.....Holtby is brutal

 

[TMac21]

Hopefully not a typical Bruins Caps game as has been the case the last few years.

 

[caz16]

The Caps are having trouble scoring? What happened to their power play? Hopefully the B's can beat Holtby and tonight!

GO BRUINS!!

 

[Sheppy]

Ehhh, I'm thinking 5-2 Caps.

 

[Ladyfan]

Holtby does seem to have the B's #.

I hope for a win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS... HERE WE GO

 

[Ladyfan]

Ehhh, I'm thinking 5-2 Caps.

I am thinking 4-2 B's

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

We found a player Hayes is superior to -- Tom Wilson!

Go B's.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

at least its an 8pm game.
don't have much confidence tonite
on nbcsn and holtby has our number

 

[VanIsle]

Damn you Holtby, damn you to he-double hockey sticks.

Bruins are 2-6-2 vs the Caps in the last 10 against them.
Caps are 8-2 vs the Bruins in the last 10 against them.

Not feeling great about this game, but hey a win against these bums and the Habs would be amazing, and if anyone deserves it we do for the long time suffering against both of these teams recently.

 

[Terrier]

Holtby is a serious nemesis. Hope we can to get to him this time.

 

[TP]

I'll be happy if we score a goal against this pain in my ass.

 

[Hali33]

I dread games against Washington.

 

[FribbleLine]

NBCSN...does this mean I have to listen to that donkey Olczyk?

 

[alg363636]

Scored a couple free tix to the game tonight, so I'll be there cheering!

Hopefully this isn't as painful as the last few Bs/Caps games I've been to. Ugh.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Hope it's not another " scheduled loss " like the Hab games.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

GO

[BsEuphoria]

Just win, don't care how. I'd love nothing more then for the B's to put up a 4 spot on Holtby. I'm going with a 4-2 B's win also, breaking the streak.

Wow. Ridiculous that Hayes is still up here.....

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Timing is everything and I think the Bruins are poised to give the Caps a competitive game tonight.
