Would be nice to see Shesty bounce back. Both teams played in NY last night, so no advantage there (well us considering the piles-broons went to a shootout).

 

[Gordon Bombay]

No Mcavoy. Good player but low key dirty. This will help.

Another good test of top teams. We need Igor to be Igor.

I will be drunk by the time this game starts. LFG

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Laf always plays well in Boston. He’ll score tonight.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

We get the real Igor back today and steal one in boston.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

I got a very bad feeling about this one. unfortunately will be missing most of it

 

[Kovalev27]

Be at this one tonight. Pumped

Need laffy to get off the schnide tonight confidence is waning

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

YES!

It was too late to post in yesterday's thread, but had to say that in my opinion Leo Carlsson was the best player on the ice and at 18, his future is ridiculously good.

 

[leetch99]

Awww...no Edstrom. Would have liked to have watched him line up along side 63 . LOL....like Scott/Kessel back in the day size wise .

 

[Fitzy]

You hope they find a way to sneak Edstrom in for another game while his confidence is high.

Anyone who watches a lot of out of town games know what the deal has been this season with all the faceoff throw-outs on both sides? Is it some sort of league-wide campaign or something NYR are doing?

Seems to me the opponents centers are getting tossed frequently. I'm guessing the Rangers success rate is causing them to jump to try to beat us. Last night for some reason it seemed Vesey had to replace his guy a lot.

 

[tomobson]

Must win.

 

[Irishguy42]

They got Edstrom on that Leo Carlsson regime. No other explanation. Ducks were smart to do that and Drury was like "oh yeah that's good"

 

[kovazub94]

Was it confirmed that Bonino back in the lineup?

Haven't seen anything to confirm or deny it.

 

[Harbour Dog]

After Edstrom's game last night, Bonino probably took a fistful of Flinstone's chewables, and ate an entire bunch of bananas. No sniffles today.

Honestly, knowing Bonino's career, I think a fistful of Flinstone's chewables puts him at the threshold of godhood.

With McTavish and Zegras out he is the only reason I still tune into the Ducks games. Minty also. He likely won’t play tomorrow due to the game management plan. Can only play 3 games a week now. Ducks have 4 this week. Starting with a back to back Sunday and Monday.

The team is just horror bad and need to move on from some of those aging vets. I think 2 years is when they can get into the playoffs.

I apologize for closing the PGT so early but on back to backs we try to immediately move onto the next game.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

It's funny even in a down season Fox 20 points in 18 games.

 

[duhmetreE]

If Laffy doesn't score, do the wins even matter?

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Shesterkin but on a very short leash. If he shows signs of sucking early, get him out of there.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Gonna need to be tighter defensively than they have been to win this game. Even a short handed Bruins team is a difficult test.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

BTW, is this the first time Kreider's net front game and Mika's one timer are working at the same time on the PP?
