SCF GAME 5 - 8:00 PM - St. Louis (2) @ BRUINS (2) - NBC, CBC, SN(4K), TVAS

[Crosbyfan]

Could be an interesting game if one or both of Gryz and Chara play. I’d expect if they do and get hit hard, there will be a quick response and it might get dirty. Not saying that should or shouldn’t happen, but logically it would be expected.

I assume the NHL is considering same thing and I’d expect at least at the start they’ll instruct refs to keep a very tight reign on things.

Translation? Possibility of refs being high profile. Translation of that? HF Boards GDT could be a s**t show.

Seems reasonable...and favouring the Bruins...

 

[Crosbyfan]

Let's Go Blues!!!!

LOL...tempted to give that a "like"...but on principle of course I won't...

...ah what the heck...

I agree. I hope it’s on everyone’s mind and factors into result.

Do me a favor and PM me the results of your time machine travel. I’m tense!!!

[Crosbyfan]

Those are racoon arms...you're not scaring anyone...
...plus you don't know where I live...
...I hope

Maybe if they stare long enough, it will change...

What has Maroon or Schwartz done on the scoring sheet? What has Bozak done? PP or 5 v 5?

worry about your team

 

[Tom Polakis]

I wonder how this GDT will go

Rest assured that posts complaining about officiating will outnumber any sort of insights into the game by at least a 20:1 ratio.

 

[Hockey Nightmare]

I thought docs had to clear players. How does a player with a broken jaw get cleared?

Blues will play physical no matter what. Only way this team gets to their A game. If these two can’t take a hit they shouldn’t be on the ice. I don’t think it’s in the Bruins best interest to try to match with physical play cause I don’t think they can. Should focus on skill and creating open spaces with speed more, those play more to their strengths. Let’s Go Blues!

yeah def gonna be some fans up in arms about some arms that did or didn't go up.

They do have to clear them but who does the Doc work for? Yeah he’s gonna give his advice but do what the team tells him.

He writes the Doc a little note: "Hi Doc, I'm Chara...now write me a little note saying I'm good to go!"

 

[Got One Cup]

Yeah that’s as guaranteed as the Sun coming up tomorrow.

Schwartz has two 5 v 5 points, both first assists.

Bozak has 1 5 v 5 point and 2 overall. Maroon has zero. Maroon/Bozak comprise our third line.

During 5v5 play, our top 6 has 12 points. Yours has 0.

 

[izzy]

so chara is playing, or?

It's actually Doc Emerick who decides. Weird choice, I know, but it is what it is.

 

[Crosbyfan]

The only way he's out is if they convince him he can be more effective later in the series IMO.

 

[Got One Cup]

Well if he’s deciding then he will be a go so he can talk about it all dam game.

Bozak has 1 5 v 5 point and 2 overall. Maroon has zero. Maroon/Bozak comprise our third line.

During 5v5 play, our top 6 has 12 points. Yours has 0.

So what? Bruins 3rd and 4th line has carried the load thus far

Dont worry Bruins 1st line wont disappoint you

Did you not see he said worry about your own team. Some people just can’t follow directions.

 

[bluesfan94]

Yup. The problem with relying on that is that during 5v5 play, the Bruins lower lines have had a negative Corsi, the only exception being Heinen who's exactly 50/50

so chara is playing, or?

Seems like yes but we won't know for sure until puck drop

 

[CamFan81]

WE NEED PASTA!

We shall see. I’m not saying anything about whether Blues should play physical or not, I expect they will. I’m also not saying anyone who plays shouldn’t be subject to normal physical play.

I’m just saying it’s been a charged series already and I expect NHL and refs to be focused on keeping a lid on things. I also expect them to call the game very tight for fear of things getting overly hot.

Accordingly I expect HF Boards to be very charged tonight.

 

[hypaspazz]

As a Sabres fan, I want to see O'Reilly bury a hatty tonight! He just needs some of that Enzo S-A-U-C-E; Let's Go Blues!!!!
