Expecting a loss but this team is so goofy we will probably win this one and get blown out by the next bad team we play.

 

[Ladyfan]

I want a win with no injuries as always. I hope the game is over before the snow starts

Hey Steve, I hope the Bruins win today.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[lopey]

Play desperate please. And for the love of god special teams please show up.

 

[the negotiator]

Going today...with no idea what to expect.

My hope is that the Vegas players are thinking of flying home for the Four Nations break after a lengthy road trip and don't have their heads in the game

Bs need to come out focused - how often do we say this- play hard and go into the break on a positive note.

Please just win. Bite, kick, claw, gouge, just somehow scratch out a win. I wouldn't know what to take for a two week B's loss Hockey Hangover.

They are homers, so I think they win by a goal.

Vegas is 3-4-3 in their last 10, have lost 3 of their last 4. Its their last game of a 4 game road trip heading into the Break. Vegas is barely above 500 on the road 12-11-3, the Bruins are 18-8-3 at home, everything spells a Bruins victory, except they actually have to play the game. and the Bruins pull it out with a 4-1 win Pasta nets a pair, and Bruins acquire Dylan Cozins tomorrow on his 24th Birthday.

Bob Beers said on the radio earlier that I think makes perfect sense. If they have a good win today do you feel better about this team?

I won’t.

I won’t.

No.
They dont stand a legitimate shot to truly compete for a Cup as currently constituted. That should be the focus. How to get back to that in the next few years.

All three hosts said no

I won’t.

I would.

If it's a good win, not an outshot 42-23 Swayman standing on his head 3-2 OT win.
