[Fenway]

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

[NeelyDan]

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

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

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.

 

[Thomas 11]

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

 

[Sheppy]

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

Oh bud.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

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

 

[Bruin4]

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

Good point!

Hmmm

Wahlstrom -> Brazeau
Brazeau -> Kastelic
Kastelic -> Beecher/Koepke

 

[PlayMakers]

I just hope Lindholm doesn’t turn back into a pumpkin after playing his two former teams.

 

[lopey]

Good test. Bruins play better imo against fast teams that don’t forecheck hard. Forces them to skate and they are better team when skating

Keep your head on a swivel.
I see this being a one goal game or a blowout for the Oil.

Hope the boys had their winter gear with them as it was colder than -20 C in Edmonton last night and they got more snow

We're having a good old-fashioned winter here in Sask as we had another Alberta clipper come thru Regina last night that brought in some pretty good snow drifts

It's not like Buffalo here, but the snow is starting to accumulate

 

[quietbruinfan]

Expecting the worst and hoping for the best.

 

[Terrier]

Five points on this trip and I'll be delighted, six points and I'll do backflips.

 

[caz16]

Santa is a Bruins fan. Hoping for a win when I wake up, like the last two games. I am glad they are back home on Saturday!

Hmmm

value up for Freddy? Is it? sit his ass

 

[lopey]

Might stay up for this one

 

[TD Charlie]

another early one! we are so blessed

 

[PlayMakers]

I want lines!
