After going 2-1 and earning 4 of 6 points on a 3 game road trip to begin the season, the Black and Gold return home to the Garden and take on the New Jersey Devils while getting back their best player, Patrice Bergeron. Adam McQuaid recently returned to practice as well, hopefully to replace O'Gara. Tonight will also be the B's first look at Taylor Hall in a Devils uniform.

Lines for tonight should be:

Marchand - Bergeron - Pasta
Heinen - Krejci - Backes
Beleskey - Nash - Hayes
Spooner/Schaller - Moore - Acciari

Chara - Carlo
Krug - McQuaid/Morrow
Liles - C. Miller

Rask
Khubodin

Let's go Bs!

Based off the reports from the morning skate, it appears that Spooner will be on 9 tonight. Morrow could be in for O'Gara as well. Czarnik is not present, so it seems he's the corresponding move to activate McQuaid, but McQuaid may not play.

Julien confirms Bergy will play, and Czarnik has been assigned to Providence. He also says he has 8 hours to decide on Spooner, so that will be a GTD. Nobody appears to have asked about McQuaid, so who knows there.

Presumably then Nash will center the 3rd line with Schaller/Spooner on the wing for the 4th with Morrow/McQuaid still undecided on the 2nd D line? I've tried to update the 1st post accordingly.

Suffice to say I am very glad to have Bergeron back.

Anyone going to this tonight? I'll be in attendance with my brother and father.
I will be in the house with my older brother. I'll probably be at North Star from about 4pm to about 6pm-ish, or might leave sooner to participate in the opening day festivities outside.

Text me if you're around. I'll be in the usual seats, Loge 18, Row 4.

Loge 7, toward the back, I'm down with chugging a beer at intermission.

I'll be in my normal seats in 304. Showing up a little late due to a work thing I gotta do. Two periods of hockey is better then none at least.

Hard to fault the effort, they're pushing the Devils around right now.

I don't know if it's all the new faces or new lines or just a change in atmosphere off the ice, but this team seems to be a step more together than it ended last year.

Feel like almost half the team is potentially playing for a job at this point, which probably doesn't hurt.

Taylor Hall with the whiff of this young season.
