BRUINS GDT GAME 46 7:08 PM - Tampa Bay - NESN, ESPN+, SN1, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[Therewolf31]

It's ok McAvoy sucks anyway... right?

Well maybe he's been playing hurt.....

 

[LSCII]

Carlo is about to play 35+

Over under on what his plus minus will be if that were true? I'd say -5 and I'd be tempted to take the over...

 

[BruinDust]

The good news....Lohrei is finally manning the 1st PP unit.

The bad news......the bottom 3 forwards lines are a complete mess. WTF is Frederic pushed back to the wing. is there any reason they can't go Zacha-Lindholm-Frederic-Poitras down the middle if they want to keep Poitras at C? Enough of this 4th line/energy line bullshit.

Geekie - Zacha - Pasta

Marchand - Lindholm - Brazeau

Koepke - Frederic - Wahlstrom

Beecher - Poitras - Letteri

Oh, and Game 46 of trying to get Elias Lindholm a PP goal in the bumper position. 45 attempts weren't enough.

 

[22Brad Park]

Still hoping they win . Lets Go

We are about to get absolutely mollywopped. Ugh

 

[KillerMillerTime]

What's the story with Coyle, sick?

 

[Ladyfan]

I also just heard about this.

Not great when #1 and #2 are on IR and LTIR. . . .

Maybe this is what the team needs, young guys with more speed and hunger. . . .

Just hundred thousandaires instead of multimillionairres. . .

Bad news . I hope both players heal fast.

 

[Sigh]

Yikes, that lineup doesn’t inspire confidence. Hopefully someone steps up. Show some heart please.

 

[Coach Parker]

It will be interesting at least. Honestly we didn't score up front to begin with so I don't think we lose anything there, but that D? holy smokes

Tampa Bay handled them easily less than a week ago. Swayman stole a game for the 2nd time this year and has looked more like himself. This has the feeling of a 1-10 stretch without help being added to the top line.

If they waive the white towel (and this management team appears to look at years and projections way in advance and may have written this year off as a Wildcard/DNQ with eyes on year two of Lindholm/Zadorov's contracts and the salary cap bump as the time to make another addition) Bruins fans will know before the break for the Four Nations if this team is done for the season.

So far it feels like they haven't really checked in and the frustration at that fact is brewing.

They gave a good effort against TB and a couple of self inflicted wounds did them in. TB didn't look much better.

Tonight has a decent possibility of getting lopsided though.

You know that Cooper is smiling looking at that Boston D corps.
I'm expecting lots of turnovers and keystone cops, especially with Kucherov, Guentzel, and Point out there.

 

[caz16]

At least there are a few days off before the next game, hopefully whatever is ailing the Charlies will be improved enough for them to play on Saturday. I will still hope for a win tonight.

 

[cat400]

McAvoy on IR.
Well that may explain why McAvoy did not play in the Florida overtime.

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

Woof

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Lohrei-Osterle is gonna be a hoot

Re: Poitras

Please don't get hit too hard. Hope he is more shifty this time around.

Good luck again kid!

Didn't you take him in your Fantasy League?

 

[JerseyBruin]

It's ok McAvoy sucks anyway... right?

At least he won't be on PP1 tonight.

 

[BergyWho37]

I’m not gonna say we’re gonna win or anything but hey maybe if defence surprises us or Swayman keeps us in it.
What I am feeling is way more energy coming than what we’ve been producing lately which will be a nice change. This 12 shots after 2 periods is hard to watch need some zone pressure and puck battles won before the 3rd.

What's the story with Coyle, sick?

I’m sick of watching him going on a coaster and him forgetting to be on the boards for a pass out of the zone

 

[A1LeafNation]

Didn't you take him in your Fantasy League?

Absolutely lol

 

[Hookslide]

Tony DeAngelo is back in North America .He was putting up really good numbers in KHL

I brought his name up earlier before this all happened, they laughed me off the board, along with a few shots at me who's laughing now

May explain why he's been sucking.
