Moms' trip. Wonder who they all belong to.



Also, Marchand's mom is funny. "Don't get traded!"

 

[Bad Puck Bounce]

I don't have a good feeling about this game.

 

[DitClapper]

Boston vs. Pittsburgh double header.

**** the Steelers. **** the Penguins.

 

[eightspokedb]

98.5 or 100.7?

 

[Salem13]

98.5 or 100.7?

We'll loose 98.5 to football by noon.

 

[Fenway]

98.5 or 100.7?

100.7 obviously - The Bruins website has it wrong but obviously the Patriots pregame on 98.5 takes center stage.

I try to get the Canadian TV coverage correct and today it appears the Bruins are on Sportsnet from Newfoundland to BC with no blackouts anywhere.

NHL US will take the Penguins feed. SN tends to prefer NESN as they like Jack and Brick.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Looks like the Bruins sent Blidh back to Providence and took Colin Miller off of IR.

 

[Coach Parker]

I'll keep it simple for karma purposes:

One city will win one game each. Pick your poison fans.

Boston vs. Pittsburgh double header.

**** the Steelers. **** the Penguins.

I agree with half your post.

**** the Pens.

Was watching the Video of the game earlier this season.(Video in OP) Pretty sure that was the last game Pastrnak scored in. Pretty sure I heard the announcer say his 19th of the season and he's still sitting on 19. Would be a much needed boost if he can find the back of the net again.

NAH - I am all in favor of Pittsburgh really hating Boston later tonight

 

[caz16]

The Bruins have been good in matinees so I'll hang onto that hope.

Pasta and Krejci need to get going, what a difference that would make.

Some rest is coming soon, getting 2 points would be massive.

GO BRUINS!!

 

[Ladyfan]

The B's often play well against the Pens.

I will be on a plane on my way back from DC so I will miss the game

HERE WE GO BRUINS. . . HERE WE GO

 

[Orrfourever]

Go Bruins!!!

[ODAAT]

gonna pass on today`s game, need a Jake Allen-like break

 

[Blowfish]

Any call ups?

 

[Mantis]

Please Claude keep Nash and Hayes out of the top 9...

 

[Hamilton Brian]

THis could be a scary game. Given our scoring woes, other than the Detroit game, I'm worried.

 

[slim399]

Any call ups?

Wish they would call up Cehlarik, he had two more last night- scoring at almost a 40goal pace for 82 games. Vatrano-Krejci-Cehlarik could be solid. Debrusk with another one last night as well. Wouldn't mind giving him a few games on the third line with Backes.

Blows me away with the scoring issues and poor performances of vets management hasn't called Cehlarik up. Hoping it's to shield him and develop him versus exposing him to a mediocre line up.

 

[Sharp Shooting Neely]

Did not pick up on the NHL - NFL dual match up until it was slipped in via Fenway's slick logo insert at the end of his GDT. Well played sir!

Bruins for some reason have put up really good efforts and have had good results against the Pens. Continuing that trend today would be just fine if not completely necessary at this point B's.

Let's Go Bruins!

That would be my guess. Would you want to put a youngen in the middle of this dumpster fire?

 

[Southiechickie]

Any thoughts on line combos today with Blidh being sent back to PVD and no call ups? PBruins are on fire last night!! Great things going on in PVD!! Let's hope some of these players get a chance before too long!!!
