BRUINS GDT GAME 55 7:08 PM - The Call of the Wild - NESN, ESPN+, SNP, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[quietbruinfan]

With the Wild missing KK and Hartman this should be competitive. I still do not like our chances.

 

[Alicat]

internet says he's an option for tonight. As healthy as we've been in ages. If nobody gets hurt in the next 3, we could have the whole team healthy post tourney. I don't know if Charlie or Sway play the tourney. So only Pasta and Elias will.

edit: hmm Charlie is an A on team USA. He probably will play. Man he needs healing/rest.

McAvoy and Sway will play in the tournament. This may seem frivolous to those watching the NHL but it is incredibly important for guys who are vying for a spot on the Olympic team, I would say that the rosters you see during the tournament will be similar to what you see in Milan/Cortina a year from now.

 

[Alicat]

I hope Bruins fans recognize Fleury for all he's done in his career. A true professional and great person on and off the ice.

That said, Bruins win tonight

Agreed.

I'm not sure you can find one single soul that has a bad thing to say about MAF.

Agreed.

I dare anyone to try and find one.

I will always have a soft spot for Flower. I loved beating him because it meant that it was a gritty, hard fought win.

 

[Blitzkrug]

I always liked Flower because between the constant pranking of his former teammates, the goofy stuff he would do whenever he was in the all-star game and his general temperment with the media, he's a guy that doesn't take himself too seriously.

The league will be worse off when he rides into the sunset come spring.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Is Mark K. back?

Globe article says Kastelic is expected to be in the lineup tonight!

 

[goldenblack]

If Kasty is on the 4th, Brazeau moves up and Wahlstrom sits?

Freddy-Poitras-Brazeau? Or Elias in the middle there?

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

Is it too early to call every game going forward a "must win'?

Maybe.

I hope we recognize him by scoring 5 on him.

Come on man, I am not saying its a scheduled loss for Minnesota, but outside of Fluery standing on his head, Boston wins by a couple.

If Boston loses tonight, it will be hair on fire time going into NY.

I agree the Bruins should win tonight, standings aside, their a better team today. although the Wild gets Brodin and Johansson back.

I watched them against the Sens and they looked worse than the Rags did against the bruins. Senators had over 50 shots against this team. Saying all that Minny wins 5-0, Bruins held to 15 shots or less.

Give it to $Bill please !!!!!

 

[Bruin4]

Give it to $Bill please !!!!!

Sweeney should be a great host and get Bill loaded then have him make a call saying he just acquired the entire providence Bruins for Zeev Buium.

They still have Boldy, a pretty good d, Fleury and team speed. We have....none of that.

 

[Blowfish]

Koepke? One of the guys who can play with speed, forecheck, and score on the bottom 6? Not going to lose sleep over this but strange to say the least. Perhaps giving him rest from concussion stuff?

Too early or too late?

Makes no sense to me either. Ottawa killed this team because they were so much faster and quicker. Minnesota couldn't keep up with their pace.

Freddy-Poitras-Brazeau? Or Elias in the middle there?

Let's hope so.

McAvoy and Sway will play in the tournament.

Playing for your country is always a big deal for the players.

How do you figure that?

Minnesota is 13 games over .500, Boston 4 over.

Wild have won 3 of their last 4 without Kaprizov.

 

[BruinDust]

Give it to $Bill please !!!!!

Loved Guerin as a player and love him as a GM. Heart and soul type of player, an old school gunslinger as a GM, isn't afraid to make changes or ship guys out, the anti-Sweeney.

No, but it might be too late!

Balls to the Wall, here comes Kasty !!
