I said when this trip started I would be happy with 5 points and they have a chance for 6.

Be warned, I am going full gummy for this one.

Big test for the D tonight but I think the Bruins could score some goals. If Skinner is off he is capable of losing the game all on his own. Swayman tonight and Korpisalo on Saturday?

If they come out half asleep like they did in Calgary, it could get ugly.

Anyone from here going tonight? I’m rocking a 70 Cheevers jersey and Tracy will be going with a Thomas jersey.

Oh bud.

Wonder if we will see Wahlstrom. As an armchair coach I am torn over who to sit of he does.

Freddy could sit for a game or two, but they need to showcase him to keep his value up.
Geekie and McLaughlin are scoring, can't douse that.
Koepke could go, but does not deserve to.

Beecher for a game with Kastellic down to the 4th and Wahlstrom on the third.

Hmmm

Bruins looking for their 3rd win in a row. I'm thinking Wahlstrom sits this one out as well, I hope not but 2 wins in a row, I see Sacco going right back to the same well.

I am thinking you are right ...stay with winning hand until it's not

If he does make a change, my guess is Wahlstrom in for Brazeau- I like Brazz but his game isn't a match for the Oilers speed and quickness

 

[Ladyfan]

I have so much to do and will be happy to sit on the couch tonight and watch the Bs. Hopefully they play well and don't get hurt.

Hey Steve, I hope the Bruins win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO
