11/11 -- Bruins at Canadiens (7:00 ET)

[Ferm Sheller]

These matchups ain't like they used to be, but it's always fun when the Bs take on Montréal.

McAvoy should be back. Lauko, too?

 

[Preacher]

I got stuff for breakfast but I ran out of Prosecco on Friday. I think both of our local convenient stores have some cheap bubbly stuff. I’m not sure if my wife will want mimosas but you have to be ready. Plus, it worked Friday morning so I don’t want to mess with success.

 

[cshea]

Looks like McAvoy, Lauko and Mitchell are in; Brown and Shattenkirk are out.

Marchand - Zacha - Pastrnak
van Riemsdyk - Coyle - Frederic
Heinen - Poitras - DeBrusk
Lauko - Beecher - Steen

Lohrei - McAvoy
Lindholm - Carlo
Forbort - Mitchell

I know that injuries, suspensions and ongoing assessments of new players all factor in, but it is remarkable how much the Bruins are still fiddling with lines and pairs.

I think that the third line gets more than one goal tonight!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Harass the Habs

 

[IdiotKicker]

It’s time for DeBrusk to get DeGoals against DeHabs. Run it up Jake, leave no doubt.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

I will be in the building tonight can’t wait. Glad McAvoy and Lauko are back.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Did not have Monty (rightly) picking Mitchell over Shattenkirk.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Did not have Monty (rightly) picking Mitchell over Shattenkirk.

Yeah Shattenkirk appears to be playing well. Maybe he’s a little banged up?

 

[TFP]

To my very untrained eye, Shattenrkirk has been horrible. I'm surprised Mitchell is playing over him, and think it's probably a wash, but I'm not unhappy for him to get a game off.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Go Bruins!


Although, I’d say yes to poutine (and have several times the past few days)

 

[pedro1918]

I think I remember reading that Shattenkirk would get regular days off all season long. It could be as simple as Chucky is back, Kevin gets a day.

 

[cshea]

Shattenkirk hasn’t been very good. Thought Mitchell held his own on the top pairing with Lindholm while McAvoy was out. Probably a toss up between him and Shattenkirk. A rotation is fine with me.

Go Bruins!

NESN. Pushed back to 720 start time

 

[Nator]

Where is this airing? I can’t get it on ESPN or Hulu.

I was looking for the game too, I suspect that since this is probably Hockey Night in Canada, it might be some CBC restriction BS.

ESPN site says NHL NET

 

[barclay]

ESPN site says NHL NET

Its on ESPN+ and, as one might expect, NESN (but not ESPN). Hope you get it! Its the accursed Habs!

 

[Jordu]

And just like that! Pavel the Goal-Scorer.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Nice!

 

[patinorange]

That was nice, and quick.

 

[Cotillion]

Nice redirect

 

[Cotillion]

None of htat was a penalty? Okay...

 

[barclay]

Glad to see that, as opposed to last year, the Habs actually have a competitive team. I say that only because it will be all the more gratifying when we kick the living crap out of them.

 

[Salem's Lot]

They refused to call the first penalty on Montreal.

 

[Cotillion]

They refused to call the first penalty on Montreal.

It was a mugging when the Bruins came back from behind the goal and in front of the goalie that completely stopped any shot/pass... hooking, tripping, and maybe even a slash all directly in unobstructed view of the ref

 

[Nator]

No dice on ESPN+. Hosers.

 

[LogansDad]

Its on ESPN+ and, as one might expect, NESN (but not ESPN). Hope you get it! Its the accursed Habs!

Nope. NHLN means blacked out.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

I mean, holy shit

 

[barclay]

Nope. NHLN means blacked out.

Those Bastards!

 

[Cotillion]

Oh shit.. how did the Canadiens not score there? Ouch

 

[Cotillion]

They just refuse to call any penalty on the Canadiens... can't wait to see the first one they are going to call on the Bruins...

 

[Cotillion]

Marchand interfered with...

 

[barclay]

Good lord. So nothing is a penalty, eh? Oh wait. I forgot that the next flea that lands on a Hab is going to be...you know.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

 

[moretsyndrome]

It’s time for DeBrusk to get DeGoals against DeHabs. Run it up Jake, leave no doubt.

Hit DePost

 

[Cotillion]

Debrusk with Iron

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

My first game in Canada. Do they not have penalties here?

 

[mostman]

Two plays there that could be training videos for interference.

 

[mostman]

Lohrei is just not quite ready.

 

[barclay]

Absolutely WILD period

 

[Salem's Lot]

Lohrei is just not quite ready.

He needs NHL games to get better.

 

[Cotillion]

only 10 faceoffs... felt like there were even fewer stoppages than that.... lots of free flowing play

 

[Salem's Lot]

Absolutely WILD period

Seemed like an above average number of forced (and unforced) turnovers by both teams that period.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Thank god for this man

 

[tims4wins]

Does YTTV not have NHLN?

 

[Cotillion]

That wasn't offside... come on

 

[LogansDad]

Does YTTV not have NHLN?

Nope. Nor MLBN

 

[barclay]

That was so obviously onside that I am forced to conclude that the refs are in the bag. Or on shrooms.
