Pre-Game Talk: Game # 73 Bruins at Ducks 10 PM NESN ESPN+

[bobbyorr04]

I'm still trying to get used to hoping the B's lose so they can get a better pick

I can't remember the last time I actually did that

..regardless, I hate it ..and it's no fun

 

[gvkmedia]

I’m am not hoping they lose. I hope they win.
Problem is they’re not good enough to win. So they will lose.

Not mathematically eliminated yet…

2010 for this fan, followed by 2011, Seguin/Hamilton drafts

Then you hoped that Toronto lost

 

[OV]

No way i watch even a minute. Crazy day ahead of me. Got a board meeting at 430. Going to be a long one too.

I have bored meetings all the time....

 

[Clode]

No Zadorov, no Kastelic, expecting them to get caved in both on the scoreboard and physically lol

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

If you try to fail and succeed, what gave you done?
Don’t think I can/should try to stay up for even the first, DVR is set for indigestible Breakfast with the Bruins early tomorrow. Might make the first few faceoffs…
Here we go here we go!! Or something

 

[PlayMakers]

I'll be at the game tonight. I'm in sunny California for a couple weeks.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Suspicious timing, hope everything is OK with his family.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

I'm going to get attacked for his but: IMO this is very weird. After his controversial comments the other day and 2nd player to come back to Boston. Kastellic I can understand but this feels different.

That’s where my mind went also: you fly McAvoy out there just to practice in a non-contact jersey and immediately subtract Zaddy. Seems to be a message in there somewhere…

Yeah!!! You know what to do . Cheer loud for our boys and have a blast. The Bs are winning for sure. Say Hi to my kid !

 

[Ladyfan]

I did not mean for this to be the GDT but will put this here.

Please win for @PlayMakers and my daughter. Don't get hurt.

Hey Steve, I hope the Bruins win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

Status report​

Zadorov, a defenseman, returned to Boston for a family matter. ... McAvoy practiced in a non-contact jersey Tuesday for the first time since sustaining a shoulder injury and infection playing for the U.S. in the 4 Nations Face-Off last month. Bruins coach Joe Sacco said the defenseman would not play on the road trip, which concludes against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday, and there is no timeline for his return. ... Khusnutdinov and Geekie switched spots during practice Tuesday. ... Lundestrom and Mintyukov each took part in the Ducks optional morning skate after each missed practice Tuesday because of an illness; Kylington, a defenseman, filled in for Mintyukov Tuesday, and Colangelo for Lundestrom; Colangelo has missed the past five games with an upper-body injury.

Korpi with a shut out statement game, Pasta with a hatty because he's pissed. Our AHL D keeps it simple, look ok and survive.

 

[Lobster58]

just wondering where all the posters who wanted Tuukka drawn and quartered for going home for family reasons are now...

 

[Carl Hungus]

Zadorov and the possibility of his big hits provides 90% of the remaining entertainment for me during these tank games

Live test.

This is just a test.

Is Live working automatically, or is there an option that I need to choose for it?
