GDT: Leafs @ Bruins on HNIC 7:00

[Blufreezy]

I wonder how many Bruins fans realize the Leafs are 1 point behind them

The ones who don't likely still believe they're playing against Canada like in the playoffs.

tfw that gif is no longer relevant.

Imo the bruins are only a shell of what they were in 2k12. I think they will be lucky to make the playoffs.


I'm liking the changes the lineup tonight. Go Leafs Go!

Just about to make some food and watch this game followed by Canucks/Blackhawks. Should be a couch night.

Has Reimer won a game in Boston since the uhm, incident in 2013?

 

[Snow Dog]

Note to the antifighting crowd.Did you ever notice most hockey montages feature big goals,big saves,big hits and fights.Fights are part of the game.

 

[Eddo22]

Ah great.. Rogers has a Boston feed. Now I'll have to listen to how great this mediocre Boston team is all night.

 

[Mats13]

How is Reimer on the second game of back to backs? I don't know if this is a good idea.

Then again, Bernier can't stop a beach ball right about now so...

If Reimer had to come out of a game for any reason I would rather Healy fill in .

according to Babcock, he talked to Reimer after the game, and is feeling that Reimer isn't as amped up as he was earlier, and being calmer can handle a back to back.

they should add a shooting tutor rule in the rulebook. It'll avoid those weird situations where a goalie has to play hurt.

Most hockey montages are about days gone by as well.

Unfortunate.

Thanks for the reminder.

The one CBC just showed was quite recent.CBC knows what most hockey fans want.They've been doing hockey forever.

Well Healy would probably be well prepared. I mean he did practice being a backup for his entire career

It's hard not to blame some for being pessimistic after we've seen other management mistake decent play for being ready for a cup and then making terrible errors via trade and free agency. I believe this group is different but after almost 50 years of general incompetence you can't really blame this fanbase for not jumping on board the hype train every time new management rolls into town or the team wins a couple games, even if Babcock and Shanny are probably the real deal.

I honestly think that's it right there.
As well as - some people don't want to trust Hunter & Dubas and their end of combining talent/stats in drafting players because A: it's only been one season (and we don't know how it will translate moving forward, though right now it's looking REALLY good). and B: some people are just grumpy.

I DO feel that the ultimate fear is - okay we've seen this before not even 2 years ago. team is playing better-ish than before, and changes should have been made and they ultimately did not. I firmly believe though that everyone is on the same page, and Shanahan/Lou even as of yesterday kept saying we're not going to deviate from the process, and there is still work to be done.

I just don't see them doing an about-face.

As for the pro-tank talk, I think a lot of it is just people who want progress from the organization, and think the draft is the best way to accomplish that goal. Personally, I don't care nearly as much about the score this season as I do about how the team plays. In my books the loss to NYR was better than our win over Carolina last night because we played a much stronger game, one that will result in wins more often than not. It's great to see Reimer on such a run right now but the team is playing worse from a possession standpoint and that's a trend that doesn't lead to sustainable, long-term success.

I feel the same way.

 

[Banic]

Rancourt is absolutely brutal.

It's on cbc.ca because it's the HNIC broadcast.

 

[Lucky Luke]

Is this same anthem singer when the Bruins started off as an Original Six team?

 

[Blufreezy]

I dunno what it is, I've never liked the guy that sings the anthems in Boston lol

 

[BertCorbeau]

Why... Why did they have to show that clip?

**** off CBC
