I hope for a nice win and no injuries.

We will be there as usual.

Hey Steve, I hope the Bs win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[Dueling Banjos]

I ll always root for us to win but knowing the situation i won't be too disappointed if we lose.

Show effort, skate, hit, can't ask for more.

P.S. A shot or two in the 2nd period would be nice.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

I’ll peak in on the game but I’ve finally resigned myself to the fact that there will be no playoffs this year. It’s okay, there are other games to watch. I want to see Ullmark and Marchand do well and want to see the Leafs implode in the playoffs.

 

[ON3M4N]

The Bruins are not a playoff team. Management doesn't have aspirations of the playoffs, because if they did, they wouldn't have sold guys off. I hope we see some of these younger guys make a case for next years team, but I also hope this team goes 0-14 the rest of the season. As a fan my focus is on what's best for the team going forward.....and that's a high draft pick, not moral victories in season that's going nowhere.

I will be cheering for Linus. I love Brad but don't like the Florida team.

I would love to see a Canadian team win the cup this year

No way I’m rooting for the Cats. The thought of their board failing to hit 10 pages on a Cup winning GDT makes my blood boil.

 

[FRyan4426]

They’re seriously going to just trot out Patrick Brown again, aren’t they?

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

It will be a challenge to lose this one.

But I'm confident they can do it.

As long as it’s not the Leafs or Montreal if they manage to get in I’m good with it.

Didn’t Minden get a hat trick last night,would think the Bruins would call him up for a look,unless maybe they are thinking about Providence success then Boston’s now.

I am with you on Florida, could care less if a Canadian team ever won another cup, actually I do care, they should never win another cup, I was on board on Vegas, Cassidy guy here, but with Coyle in Colorado, I could get on board with that first then Vegas.

Fingers crossed.

Hey 0 goals and 1 assist in 7 games. Keep going with what works /s

He’s “earned it” by Don Sweeney logic

What have you got against Canada?

 

[ON3M4N]

If he makes this team worse, then 100% keep doing it.

 

[Bruinaura]

Linus, absolutely. Also wouldn't mind Coyle winning in Colorado.

I despise the Panthers. And the Leafs. Sorry Brad and Brando.

 

[BMC]

Personally I'm on the Colorado bandwagon. I would love for Charlie to win a Cup and with the possible exception of goaltending the Avalanche are a powerful team. The more I watch them the more impressed with them I become.

Hopefully. We need all the help we can use to lose.
