BRUINS GDT GAME 40 9:08 PM - THE BEAR invades Tempe - NESN, ESPN+, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[bruins19]

interested in seeing what a NHL game looks like in a barn that barely has more seats than my High School`s home barn

I have no idea how the math works for them. How do they pay salaries with so little seating? It is a college rink. Do they even sell beer??

Hey goalies, how about a game . . .

4 allowed against the Avs . . .
3 allowed against the Bolts . ..
6 allowed against the Pens. . .

Time to sharpen up on coverage there D as well. . ..

Only 3 against Avs.

Avs & Bolts games Swayman & Ullmark were excellent.

Oops, I still miss the Bruins only letting in 1 or 2 at the very most. . . .

Is Van Riemsdyk playing tonight?

Coyotes one of the few teams worse at faceoffs than Boston.
Take advantage.

The B's were 55% against The Av's, so they're not that bad.

He's still young enough that he's got another 3 or 4 years of high level play left in him. He'll break 1000 probably by the end of next season, and I'd say 1200 is in reach.

He'll likely finish his career in the top 50 in NHL history for points, combined with very good defensive play and with a cup to his name, I think he's on a HOF trajectory. The highest scorers eligible for the hall who aren't in are Roenick and Nicholls at a shade over 1200 each. Though you wonder if his dirty reputation would be held against him if he's a borderline case. Roenick is probably being held out because of his personality, but he was more one-dimensional as a player than Brad. I think he's solidly in the hall if he finishes in the 1200-1250 range.

In my mind Roenick is a no brainer. Why is he not in?

2 points slam dunk let's go!

No such a thing in the NHL, If the Bruins don't play at least as well as they did last night we will lose.

Pasta should be well rested tonight

Don't take the Yotes lightly. The come to play. And they play hard.

Be aware of O'Brien. He's got 80 penalty minutes. Heads up boys.

Because he's a clown....if he makes the HOF it's loses all its credibility.....he won nothing his whole career...

DROP THE f***ING PUCK ALRzzzzzzzzzzzz

There are certain teams I dislike because of Bettmans sunshine belt expansion or the fanbase but like the players on the team. Coyotes are one of them, I would really like this team if they were located some where besides a high school rink in a state that wants no part of hockey that Bettman has stopped relocation for a number of times because of his arrogance and he doesn't want hockey to fail in Arizona.

As a team they are scrappy, tough to play against and fun to watch. Also happy for Bill Armstrong who was a great guy and my kind of defenseman when he played in Providence.

I met Bettman once. He is a Smurf and slimy. That said, someone explained to me a long time ago, that he is not an emperor. He works for the owners. He can’t do or refrain from doing anything contrary to the wishes of the owners. His job is to make them money.

Not surprised! Do we know exactly is wrong?

I like Lauko - Beecher - Steen from the options we have, though I'd sit Lauko for JVR if that is what it has come to. I am also not settled on this, it clearly could be upgraded through snarl or skill. I do think Beecher is the player on this line that I would hold firm to. I like Steen more then Lauko but both feel like 12/13th forwards to me.

I have watched Steen and see nothing. What do people who like him see that I am missing?

pre-game show just said day to day.

Thanks Fenway

That's reassuring . Cant have him or Mac out long term

His mouth never knew when to shut. I'm pretty sure that puck to the face he took that broke his jaw and wired him up for months was a contracted hit from Bettman himself.

I would rather see Lauko than steen, he doesn't even hit, almost goes unnoticed

And since we're back at this shithole college arena again, it was an icing!

How does Bettman justify the drag on the Cap that ARI has about a third of the gate other teams have?

I saw the original Rat start a scrum by the boards one time. He sticked a guy, then face washed another, then he was gone in the pile. A few seconds later, he found an outlet hole and was crawling out on his hands and knees while the melee raged above him. He crawled away, then stood leaning on his stick, because his work was done.

Oh Kenny L!!!!!

 

[CDJ]

Since we are playing in a college arena let’s talk like college kids

That shift was bussin. That goal was Yas Queen. Idk I’m washed up

Precisely so.

I bitch about Bettman, but he's their bag man. Nothing more.

Don't ask me what I thought of Gil Stein.
