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

[22Brad Park]

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.

Never forget Theodore spinning backhand robbing him .I am sure that would be one that haunted 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.

Please retire the "come on man" I have had enough, other than that, I like your post.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

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.

Based on what, our one game winning streak?

Bruins Coach Confirms New Lineup Change

While speaking to reporters, head coach Joe Sacco shared that Mark Kastelic will officially be back in the lineup against the Wild. With Kastelic returning, Sacco announced that forward Cole Koepke will be coming out of the lineup.

 

[Hookslide]

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

Sometimes I question myself and wonder if I am being to critical of this team, or certain players, and I start to feel bad then I read one of your posts, and I feel more like a cheerleader, not say how much better I feel about myself.

There's no reason why Boston shouldn't be in this game. Minnesota is down an MVP level forward and they were already kinda struggling prior.

It certainly feels like we're getting into every game matters territory with Ottawa and Detroit turning it on.

Lol.
Yes, and Minny's one game losing Streak, and no Kaprizov. Add to that, your only as good as your last game. Bruins win 5-2

Wild have won 3 of 4 coming in, all without Kaprisov.

Can we rename the power play to the sacc attack?

What does it attack? Thin air? My intelligence by insisting McAvoy is a PPQB? The very concept of power plays?

Not so fast. Minnesota has been the Bruins' kryptonite for years. The Bruins are not a shoo in to beat the Wild, if they do win it will be a close & hard fought game.

 

[22Brad Park]

Bruins are beating them tonite. I can feel it in my bones

You are correct, they have been hard on Boston.No Kaprisov though helps alot

I know this is Bruins GDT but here is John Hynes about tonight from Minny perspective

 

[BruinDust]

Sadly it was his defining moment as a Bruin.

I am the opposite. I loathed his selfish attitude as a player, but he supposedly loves the game and isn't a bad gunslinger gm....Got Faber after all.

 

[McGarnagle]

At first I thought Guy Lafleur had become the new Wild coach.

If the Bruins can put up six goals in a game, I don't care if Pasta gets all of them.

Lauko a pretty good 3rd round pick (77th overall) by Bruins in 2018.

Well, If Guy LaFleur were their coach in 2025, we'd finally see someone behind the bench matching Joe Sacco's energy level.

 

[Absurdity]

Let's see how they do

 

[quietbruinfan]

Let's see how they do

At least the man says all the right things, but as far anything showing on the ice goes......nope

 

[22Brad Park]

4-6 last 10 though missing best player again.I know he came back briefly then out again. .Bruins need this game badly so no excuse to not play hard 60 mins.

Hey but LaFleur is de-

Oh.

It is always nice to see the Flower come to town. A true legend of the sport. The Wild are a decent team but they miss Kaprizov and their recent form is only so-so. If the Bruins put in a good showing, and their home form mostly suggests they will, then there is a win here for the taking. Hoping Poitras has another strong game, and as much as I love Pasta dominating, it would be nice to see one or two more who aren't him or his linemates step up and make big contributions.

And welcome back to Boston Jakub Lauko! Tough kid, always liked his compete and his willingness to be his own quirky self.

The Habs did right by the Flower the other night ..... after he shut them out that is!

Fun facts.
He was the only jersey retired by Cape Breton Eagles of QMJHL until they retired a local players now a coach with them, Chris Culligan.He has flown his billets from that time to some of his milestones showing his class .

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

I've entered the mixed feelings phase. Always kind of want them to win and making the playoffs is always fun but I think it would also be better for them to lose badly before this stupid 4 Nations break so that the stubborn boys up top have no choice but to realize it's rebuild/retool time and sell not buy.

Oh.

Sacco's like the scene from Monty Python I'm not dead yet
