At least the Bruins don't have to worry about Tampa Bay manipulating the time clock at the end regulation which allowed TB to tie the game. It seems to be the thing for a few team to do this season. Just saying!

 

[Ladyfan]

OK B's...Please make it worth my (and everyone else who is going tonight) while and win for us. No injuries.

I hope my new Crosstrek passes the drive in the snow test tonight.

Hey Steve, I hope the Bruins win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

they certainly didn`t start on time that`s for sure, this Bolts team has not performed up to their standards, they`ll be coming out hard at the B`s, better be ready

 

[Gordoff]

Which Bruins team will show up tonight? I hope that the first 2 lines got enough rest since Thursday night. I also hope that they ate their Wheaties!

Want to beat Bolts good idea have a man next to Kucherov all nite

 

[Mione134]

Alright boys. Play hard. Play tough. Physicality needs to ramp up. The D needs to be ready. Forwards gotta get crisp passes. Pucks to the net. Battle on the boards. Battle in front of the goalie. When it comes down to it, get the f***ing put out of the zone. Play for eachother. We got this!






You already know the drill!

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Hit and be prepared to escalate. Go Bs!

The Bruins face quite the formidable schedule in their next 10. Ten games in nineteen days, including a 1pm Monday game back at home after a week-long trek out west.

Over their most recent 10 games, their upcoming opponents have a combined 59% Winning Percentage and a combined +36 goal differential.

It will be interesting to see if the Bruins can remain one of the top 5 teams in the standings through this stretch.

I’ll be slogging towards the Gahden on foot and by the MBTA(Mostly Broken Transportation Authority ) hoping the trip is worthwhile. The defense cannot be worse than Thursday night.

Here we go BRUINS! Here we go!

Safe travels,have fun.

 

[quietbruinfan]

You have heard it all before, but, I do not like this match up at all. They have much more firepower, better coaching, and at least as good a goaltender. If I were a betting man, I would lay good money on the Bolts tonight. Oh, and did I mention referee Chris Rooney? lol

If Bruins play right way they can beat anyone

Eh, maybe, but I wouldn't lay money against a few teams. This is one.

I be happy if someone just smoked Kucherov lol

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

Always a tough game and they are still capable of being a dominant team at times. This is a test imo. See if we are pretenders or not.

Answering Jeannot could be a problem.
