Bear Force One finally landed at Midway at 1:34 AM Chicago time

 

[The don godfather]

Goalie bob has done some magic with korpi no doubt in my mind. 6 and 2 with a 2.39 gaa. Unreal.

Goalie Bob was hired by Mike O'Connell

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

Donato has more goals than Pasta? That just seems so wrong.

#88 doesn't start scoring on at least a 35-38 goal clip going to be a DNQ season.

 

[GordonHowe]

Goalie Bob was hired by Mike O'Connell

Is that right?

One of the few things he did properly.

Hated his meh tenure & the jerk who hired him.

Thank God both are gone.

I must say, I expected a chorus of boo's from the Garden faithful upon Sinden's introduction.

Is there a league rule against inviting a former GM and head coach to a team ceremony, though employed elsewhere?

Honest question, no snark.

#88 doesn't start scoring on at least a 35-38 goal clip going to be a DNQ season.

I see it the other way. They're winning without him scoring. Imagine when he does? No reason to believe he won't eventually.

Not sure what to expect tonight. Just want a good effort from Sway.

 

[bruinsfan1968]

Just one more than Pasta, it's no big deal! Pasta will get his soon enough!

 

[goldenblack]

if Coyle and Zacha are finally coming back to their typical level of play, this team could go on a run. Not the same team when those 2 are finding the back of the net.

If Swayman gets to playoff Swayman level and Hampus comes back healthy, we won't be fun to play on any given night.

That's a lot of ifs and add another in #88 returning to form anytime soon. I don't see this team going on anything beyond a 4 game win streak. Just aren't deep enough
as evidenced with McLaughlin getting top 6 looks in an important divisional game
and I like McLaughlin as a #12\13 F but sure as he'll not top 6F like ever.

I'm not sure if players just playing at their average level, is a lot of ifs. I'm not even asking for them to be good, haha. Just normal.

But Pasta has more points

All of them at the same time? Yes it is.

 

[Ladyfan]

It will be nice to be able to actually watch the game. I do get TNT (but not ESPN+).

I don't like deep dish pizza.

How about a win Bs? ...and no injuries.

Hey Steve, I hope the Bruins win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

In the NHL this season, 234 players have average 0.50 points per game or better.

The Bruins have two of them.

Last season Pasta was 5th in the league in points per game.

He's currently 65th.

Every time Geekie skates on a 1st line shift, somewhere in the world, a kitten dies.

Please stop the cruelty.

F*%# Me, I switched to FUBO this fall and didn't get last night or tonite's game. Oh well another night on the transistor radio, that's how we did it back before Orr and TV38

I remember listening on the radio!

 

[bruinsfan1968]

Deep dish pizza is actually pretty good! Just saying!
Anyways hope they put up a more consistent effort with energy on both offense and defense. Come on Boys show the hockey world you're back!

 

[Rydan]

would be very surprised if they get a point or win this one.... 6 games in 9 days second 3 game in 4 day.. stats for winning these kinda games have to low.

Pretty sure #4 rookie year Channel 56 did some B's games. I can remember on Sunday morning Fred Cusick would have highlights of Saturday games.

Good you saved me the time of watching this one.

I did as well but we had ESPN+ in the Hulu/Disney package and I added MAX which has some good movies and HBO shows on it. Why the NHL makes it's fans jump through hoops to watch all of their teams games is another question entirely, besides the fact this league has always taken it's fans for granted.
