BRUINS GDT GAME 76 7:08 PM - First visit to Poutineville this season - NESN, ESPN+, SN, 98.5 WBZ-FM, CKGM-AM 690

[Gordoff]

This game scarred me for life

Easter Sunday afternoon, 1971?

 

[Absurdity]

I fully expect Wifi to run around a bit, then.

That's one less guy on the Bruins willing to throw a body check.

Yeah, not sure why it has to be Viel or Lysell sitting. What do Beecher and Brown bring to the table?

 

[Sheppy]

Holy shit, the Bruins are actually sitting at the 4th overall. Yeah, I'm all for them losing this one. Weird that people are shitting on the posters who want them to continue the suck train only because the other team is wearing a red jersey.

 

[Bruin4]

I certainly understand this view, but with that said, a loss gets us closer to Misa, Frondell or a Hagens in a season that for me is the main bright spot outside of Pasta brilliance!

 

[Sheppy]

Yeah, not sure why it has to be Viel or Lysell sitting. What do Beecher and Brown bring to the table?

Beecher has photos of Sacco. I'm 100% convinced of that.

 

[Sheppy]

Again, dumb. They're sitting at the 4th overall pick.

 

[Blitzkrug]

If they win this one, they can lose the rest down the stretch idgaf.

 

[Alicat]

Hard disagree. Rooting for the Bruins to win right now - against anyone - is rooting against the long term success of the team. And I hate the Habs as much as anybody.

It is disgraceful to root for the Habs. You’re a Treasonweasel.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Like everything tank this season, it's complex and conflicting for me. I also come from a generation that was probably less aware of how awful those late 70s Habs teams were to play against and how they owned the Bruins. I lived in So Cal from 1975-1980 and barely saw the Bruins play unless it was against the Kings which was just about the only hockey I could watch on the local station. Thus, my Hab hate is probably not quite as strong as it is for those a few years older, and also those who were local in those brutal years. Sorry for the mini-life story, but I say all that to say that while I hate the Habs, my desire for the Bruins to be a great team again, part of which means getting as good a draft pick this year as possible, trumps the necessity of beating Montreal. I mean, I won't cry if the Bruins win, and I will enjoy it, but a bigger part of me hopes they lose so the tank can lock in that top 5 pick as soon as possible.

Hidden message?

I honestly think the Habs hate at this point is ridiculous.

I started following the Bruins pre-Orr. 1971 was the peak of Habs hate for me. The late 70's teams didn't just own the Bruins, they owned everyone. Those Montreal teams were just that good.

The last 15-20 years? What's to hate.

Tonight, go Habs go!

 

[Sheppy]

It is disgraceful to root for the Habs. You’re a Treasonweasel.

We're not rooting for the Habs to win. We're not all decked out in Montreal jerseys waiving pom poms, we're just hoping the Bruins stay where they are in the standings. They beat the habs, so what? What's the gain there? They move out of the top 4 overall pick and jump to the 6 overall pick.

 

[Bruin4]

Again, dumb. They're sitting at the 4th overall pick.

I don’t want a win but I’m not of the opinion of others being dumb because they have a different view than mine.Wrong yes, dumb no.

 

[Sheppy]

I don’t want a win but I’m not of the opinion of others being dumb because they have a different view than mine.Wrong yes, dump no. Lol

Yes, I believe it's dumb for people to want to win a stupid game in the middle of a tank because it's Montreal. A loss is far more beneficial than a win here.

 

[Bruin4]

Yes, I believe it's dumb for people to want to win a stupid game in the middle of a tank because it's Montreal.

Your just smarter than most

 

[sooshii]

I live for today. Who knows if I’ll be around to see the eventual draft pick come to fruition.

f*** the Habs!
Here we go Bruins! Here we go!

 

[mar2kbos]

It’s the teams fighting for a playoff spot that are more dangerous than teams like the Caps that are a lock for the playoffs. So this could be an ugly game.

 

[Olden McGroin]

 

[TD Charlie]

Lose. Make them bleed. But definitely lose.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Give me the best chance at a franchise altering player for the next 15 years over a useless win over a team I haven't cared about since Obama was in office.

 

[TD Charlie]

It's a no brainer.

Still, some drama would be nice. Make the Montreal faithful sweat a little bit. Maybe a fight or four. Borderline hits. Something.

Of paramount importance; a regulation loss

 

[TobanWest]

Lose. Make them bleed. But definitely lose.

This... Sorry everyone but this team needs the highest pick available... Not a win over the habs. You can still make life miserable for them and make them bleed!

 

[Gee Wally]

 

[nORRis8]

Will watch the First and Second period.
Then I'm switching to the World Curling Championship.
Likely will be more entertaining

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

We have a moron in charge not fit to lead an ECHL roster.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Lose. Make them bleed. But definitely lose.

I get it, but I want one more win this season.

 

[nORRis8]

The NHL would be better if Montreal were a contender. Nothing beats watching a game in Montreal. It is not a corporate fanbase like Toronto.

I agree.
Plus there's a strong chance the Habs will be playing the figLeafs in the first round.
Montreal have some hitters on their team and they do not care if it's Matthews, Marner or whoever.

Start hitting them...they disappear. Plus cry
