BRUINS GDT GAME 52 7:08 PM - THE BEAR swims in the Niagara River - NESN, ESPN+, SN, MSG Buffalo, 98.5 WBZ-FM, WGR AM 550

[ON3M4N]

The good news is everyone playing that we're fighting for a playoff spot against are losing tonight as well

They all still have games in hand. Bruins have 2-3 more games played in most cases. That's possibly a 4-6 point swing for a team.

Hopefully, but it's better to go into these games accepting the fact that the B's are a mediocre team and accepting the fact that it's close to amazing they're still in the PO hunt.

Get a jt miller a healthy McAvoy and Hampus and a hot Sway and you never know . That's what I'm hoping for.

 

[NeelyOrr]

I think the B's FO should trade Marchy to a team that has a good shot at going deep in the PO's. Similar to what they did with Bourque.

This is a big loss for sure cant afford to piss away points.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

So, when do we get our top d men back?

Thursday!

Hard decision for sure.

The puck didn't beat Swayman high glove. It was just over his stick side pad. An inch or 2 lower and it likely hits his pad. If he can get the blocker down sooner, he likely can get a piece of it.

Have you ever faced a 100 mph fastball, if you have imagine a black disc from 40 feet away. I mean you can just square up and basically pray. From the blue-line sure, but that was a real nice passing play to boot, where Sway had to go from side to side and then back again.

Yup...but still...I'd rather the Canadians, Lightening and Rangers lose tonight ...lightening just tied it up though

You're asking for him to defy physics. He has mere fractions of a second to make that move. No-one is that fast.

The one thing he could have done is pre-empt. Essentially guess where he thinks the shot is going and react accordingly before it's off Thompson's stick. Which of course might work, or equally might not. Instead Sway simply took the middle and waited. Nothing too unusual about that.

I think you're generally a very fair poster on this board. Just think you're asking too much here. That was a seriously great shot by a very good hockey player. Sometimes all you can do is tip your hat and acknowledge a great play.

Bubba asked for a trade, can’t imagine Brad volunteering to go ( and really want to see him retire as a Bruin)

 

[HumBucker]

Kind of game where we used to be able to rely on guys like Coyle and Freddy stepping up. Not this season. Freddy's been trying at least. Badly need our D back and healthy.

 

[NeelyOrr]

Would it be a stretch to post that the B's forward Lindholm is the most overpaid player in the NHL?

 

[Bruinfanatic]

How far out are you?

Niagara Falls same as you

 

[The don godfather]

More poitras he has been pressuring the D relentlessly.

I'm just invested in making my favorite team better.

 

[quietbruinfan]

SELL SELL AND SELL.

 

[The don godfather]

If they want this they can tie this up Buffalo is crap back there. Finish your chances.

 

[BMC]

Game on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OV]

Niagara Falls same as you

Ever crossed paths with my BRUINS plates?

Yes but the D already has a goal and by all accounts is exceeding expectations. Can you say that of the forwards?

 

[The don godfather]

Let's go ! Wake up smell the salts.

Fight fight fight.

Bourque wanted to go

 

[particularuncensored]

nifty play by Zadorov to get it out of his zone

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Marchand basically falling out of the box sums up the Bruins' night, maybe their whole season.

No can’t say that I have
