Heard on the radio yesterday that he was listed for full contact.. hoped he'd be in tonight but no need to rush of course. Concussions are an enigma and vary.

I predict the offense finally comes to life tonight and the shooting percentage starts climbing back to a respectable number...
8-1 Boston tonight!

Lose when we should win, and win when we should lose.
I am guessing a shoot out, it has been a while.
Also what is the deal with Bruins and concussions.
Savard, Horton, Bergeron, Backes, JML, Marhcand had one last year.

If all they suffer is 1-2 per year on average, I'm thinking that's probably well below league average.

Nice work, 1-2 is average, maybe it is the type of players that are getting the concussions for the Bruins, it has been their top players, I would guess a lot of the role player types would have more then the top players due to type of style that they play.

With averages ranging from 4.6 to 7.7 concussions per 100 NHL players per season, it’s likely that each of the 30 teams in the league will see at least one or two players miss time due to a concussion every year.

That Edmonton team has a nice mix of young skill (McDavid, Draisaitl, Nugent-Hopkins) and sandpaper (Lucic, Maroon, Kassian). Sounds like the Bruins of yore. Who is their GM? 
Kidding aside, the Bruins have been stuck on the treadmill for quite a while now, masked by the fact teams below them in the Atlantic have games in hand; thus the Bruins temporarily occupying a playoff spot.
They need to start stringing together points, somehow.

I was really surprised to see the tweet about him being at practice yesterday & I wondered if he was trying to come back too soon.
Better to keep him out given his concussion history.
wouldn't be surprised if we get smoked tonite.
thankfully I have a hockey game and don't have to force myself to watch them like Mondays disaster

Not just the Bruins. This is the new NHL the league wanted. Faster, more dangerous hits, no accountability. I'm not scorned....

I can't believe they are still in third, Tampa and Florida don't want to get their act together, and Toronto is surging but will likely go on a big slide as the Leafs usually do this time of year.
The Oilers suddenly have a heavy, tough team, that is Chia's m.o.
Nurse though is injured.

Scratch Nurse and you still have a big, heavy line up that the Bruins will have to face. Not to mention the talent and speed.
Glue bergy to drai and mcd (who are on the same line according to their practice yesterday) and dk can handle rnh/eberle and it wont be too bad. charlo can handle the tough stuff. Marchy can pest mcd and throw him off hopefully. and killer/quaid can take care of the big guys if fisticuffs occur.

McDavid in a slump lately with only 5pts in his last 10 games.
Let's hope it last for at least one more game before he gets out of it with a big scoring game...

I guess Looch was outside the Garden signing autographs for fans.
The Garden is celebrating Milt tonight

praying to the hockey Gods that Jimmy Hayes is in the line up to protect us from Lucic/Kassian.
also excited to see our defensive ace Riley Nash shutdown Mcdavid tonight!
6-1 bruins win, Hayes gets 2 hat tricks tonight, book it.
