http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/19125006/boston-bruins-sign-charlie-mcavoy-torey-krug-likely-brandon-carlo-outGeneral manager Don Sweeney said that defenseman Torey Krug likely won't play in Game 1 against the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday. He suffered a lower-body injury against the Senators last Thursday and was seen using crutches on Saturday.
Rookie blueliner Brandon Carlo is definitely out Wednesday, Sweeney said. He suffered an upper-body injury during the regular-season finale against the Washington Capitals on Saturday and was listed as day-to-day.
Ottawa winning would be an upset, the Bruins are favored in the series, and rightly soI know the B's didn't beat the Sens all season, but I think if they can get past the stupid trapping, they'll have a shot.
Key to me is Rask- if he can at least match Anderson, B's pull the upset.
Yeah there definitely are reasons, matchup wise, to be worried. But Ottawa was not very good this season, they actually had a negative goal differential. I'm hoping the gimmicky nature of the neutral zone trap is something that can be figured out over a 7 game series and/or the regular season H2H record is an anomaly.Wow. Not too often the lower seed who was swept by the higher seed in the regular season ends up the favorite in a series.
I'm not THAT confident, especially down a couple of D (and Karlsson due back)
This is where I am...problem is we haven't seen it, although the Bruins have been a different team the last 2 months.Yeah there definitely are reasons, matchup wise, to be worried.

Matchups favor the Bruins A LOT. They have by far the easiest first two rounds of anyone. This obviously doesn't factor in injuries thoughYeah, no.
I guess matchups favor the Bruins slightly, but that graph doesn't pass the smell test.
Yeah, I think all it says is that advanced stats in hockey have a ways to go.Yeah, no.

Nope. It's a straightforward description of the 1-3-1, with videos demonstrating how it works -- or, when Bergeron and Marchand link up, doesn't.I don't have a globe membership...does he mention any variations from the 1-3-1 that Dr. No was running in Tampa?
It could be worse. I was pinked by a member once because my avatar was Adam Morrison bawling after a Gonzaga loss in the tournament.Nice run by miracle to end the year, but if I have to look at his stupid fucking Klopp picture anymore there's no accounting for my actions.
I find it hilarious that they bleeped "fucking" and not "twat"
It's not personal. And that was a great run-in.It could be worse. I was pinked by a member once because my avatar was Adam Morrison bawling after a Gonzaga loss in the tournament.

I banned myself a few years ago. My threads never end well.Miracle should be on the list as well for the run that got us here, but TFP or PSK should start it off.
I think we are all in violent agreement that I am banned from starting game threads until next season.

That was awesome. I spit out my lunch laughing so hard.I find it hilarious that they bleeped "fucking" and not "twat"
Also, Marchand is an elite-level shit-stirrer.
How are you even here? Are there like 10 guys hurt?That was awesome. I spit out my lunch laughing so hard.
That was my favorite too. "How are you in the show...EH?"How are you even here? Are there like 10 guys hurt?
