Yes you do

No you don't...

TuneIn Radio - Goucher/Beers FTW!!!

 

[NDiesel]

Conditioning, no doubt.

I hope so, but usually it specifies if it's for conditioning.

 

[TP]

I would love it if Pasts puts up a hatty against this clown.

 

[DaStinger]

Tenkrat.

 

[Clode]

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

Go B's.

Would rather have Wilson in all honesty

 

[bolt thrower]

I pretty much hate everything Capitals. Their announcers are the worst, their goal horn is freaking annoying and Holtby is an ass.

Me as well. Only goal horn I hate worse is the hab's MMERRRRRR(high pitch)

 

[Emerz]

I had no idea Brett Connolly was on the capitals now

Would rather have Wilson in all honesty

Me too -- how sad is that.

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

Valar morghulis.

Also to add to the milestones list,
Bergeron is one assist shy of tieing for 8th on the Bruins' all time list.
Marchand is 4 goals shy of tieing for 5th all time among Bruins left wingers.
Krejci is 6 assists shy of tieing for 3rd all time among Bruins centers.

Caps fans want him to play tonight too? At least the few posts I quickly read on their GDT.

 

[Midship]

No you don't...

TuneIn Radio - Goucher/Beers FTW!!!

Love Gouch and Beers - highly prefer them to the TV pairing. Would definitely pause the video feed to let Tune In catch up, but I'm DVR-less at the moment.

 

[Ladyfan]

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.

You know the drill. For you and anyone else going tonight cheer loud for our boys and have a blast

My daughter and I have been to a couple of games there and folks were nice .

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

Given how the Caps have struggled a bit offensively this year and with the Bruins offence showing some modest signs of life again the timing might be right. Fenway showed the metrics for the Caps with some unusual problem areas for them. Here are just a couple of measures for their performance last year versus this.

Season: =15/16 (82 G) =16/17 (24 G)
Goals For: = 3.02 = 2.54
Goals Against: = 2.32 = 2.21
Points: = 120 = 106 pace
(Numbers for Holtby this year are very similar to last season.)

The team defence appears to have improved slightly from last season. Given their high performances levels in the past the perception is they might be struggling. Of course they had lots of room for error for any drop off in offence. The Bruins have comparable numbers to them to this point of the season but the expectation is they have to do better as they have little room for error. Here they are tied in points at this stage of the season, all be it with the B's holding a couple of games in hand.

No body crying for the Caps hard times though. They are still in relatively good shape with lots of season in front of them. Suspect they will make their way back to their more normal levels by years end. In the meantime, seems to be good timing for the Bruins to pay a visit. Let's hope the take advantage.

Let's Go Bruins!

I had no idea Brett Connolly was on the capitals now

I don't understand why we would have kept Hayes over him.

 

[bolt thrower]

Me as well. Only goal horn I hate worse is the hab's MMERRRRRR(high pitch)

As much as I hate the Habs goal horn, looking at it from an objective perspective, I find the Capitals one even more annoying

Let's hate both to keep it simple.

 

[BruinDust]

I don't understand why we would have kept Hayes over him.

Connolly = Peter Chiarelli's guy

Hayes = Don Sweeney's guy


That's pretty much it.

There isn't single fan or hockey expert on this planet who can convince me Hayes is a better hockey player than Connolly.

Also, Hayes was under contract and Connolly was not. If neither was under contract and they had to pick 1, I think they would have picked Connolly.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Anyone here think Ovechkin will ever win a Stanley Cup?

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Connolly = Peter Chiarelli's guy

Hayes = Don Sweeney's guy

Glad they are both gone . Oh wait , we still have Jimmy ?

 

[Sharp Shooting Neely]

Anyone here think Ovechkin will ever win a Stanley Cup?

May not be around for a shot at it this year. With him stating his firm intention to play for Russia at the Olympics irregardless of what the NHL decides, he could decide to pull a Kovelchuck and simply head home to join the KHL. Could get messy for Bettman and the NHLPA.

 

[smithformeragent]

I don't know if I can handle the Caps' goal horn tonight.

Just one of those teams that seems to have the Bruins' number the past several years.

 

[Emerz]

3 for pasta to take over the scoring lead, and i had pasta earlier so it's a sure thing.

 

[Gee Wally]

Following Pastrnak’s lead, Bruins need better finish around net
