[cshea]

Keep it rolling. Win the hockey game.

 

[PseuFighter]

[kenneycb]

Get there in time for the National Anthem.

Get there in time for the National Anthem.

ohhh thank you.

preparing to wear bruins gear. assuming the fans aren't assholes (they weren't at pats/bears which tbh was mostly pats fans).

 

[Salem's Lot]

If it’s anything like the Chicago fans that were at the Winter Classic you shouldn’t have any problems.

sweet. thank you!

 

[kenneycb]

Yeah it's like most visiting places you would go to. Just don't be an asshole and you'll be fine.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Can confirm they're a fun group. Especially in the standing room area at the top.

 

[cshea]

No lineup changes. Halak in net.

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Krejci - Kuhlman
Kuraly - Coyle - Bjork
Blidh - Lindholm - Wagner

Chara - McAvoy
Krug - Carlo
Grzelyck - Lauzon

Halak

2nd straight healthy scratch for Heinen.

 

[The Long Tater]

Keep it going.

Halak

2nd straight healthy scratch for Heinen.

He might have to earn his way back in at this point. I’ve been defending him because I think he gets too much unwarranted hate the last couple of years but right now he hasn’t been giving them enough.

 

[PseuFighter]

many thanks for telling me to get here early.

that anthem was unreal.

 

[The Long Tater]

Maradona would be proud

 

[durandal1707]

Not a bad start. Keep up the pressure, bound to break through at some point.

 

[The Long Tater]

Darn. About 7 or 8 good chances blocked now

 

[Salem's Lot]

What a dive.

 

[durandal1707]

Marchand being too cute there. Get the puck out.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Of course a garbage call leads to that.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Lehner has been great. It should be 3-1 Bruins at least.

 

[durandal1707]

Montreal of the Midwest with all these flops

 

[Salem's Lot]

It would be nice if the ref got in position and out of the way of Marchand trying to make a play.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Smith jumping into the glass was the third or fourth time the Hawks have attempted to feign a board. Worked once I guess

 

[durandal1707]

KURALY

 

[Salem's Lot]

That’s it Kuraly

 

[PedroSpecialK]

What a shift by line 3. Nice low-key interference on the end boards by Coyle to give Kuraly space

 

[The Napkin]

All the good scoring attempts and that goes in. Hockey.
Great job by SK though

 

[Dummy Hoy]

That was a great play, and not interference...Charlie owned that space, up to Captain Superstar to get around him.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Hopefully it’s the start of Lehner remembering that he sucks.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

DeBrusk pretty clearly held / interfered with

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Low-key, pick, what have you - would've been an awful penalty call

 

[Salem's Lot]

DeBrusk pretty clearly held / interfered with

I would’ve smashed something if Chicago scored on that 2 on 1. That was blatant.

 

[Salem's Lot]

It hit the shield

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Great save on Gustafsson by Halak

 

[durandal1707]

Hopefully the effects of playing last night don't take too much of a toll here. Finish strong and get the 2 points.

 

[durandal1707]

DeBrusk has looked really good lately.

 

[The Napkin]

Did he just say nice hit by Toews on Carlo?

 

[The Napkin]

(Live, nit the replay)

 

[The Napkin]

Pass more why don’t you

 

[The Napkin]

“Tumbled” to the ice

 

[durandal1707]

Guess you can't call that blatant trip there because it would give the same team another PP or something. It's all in the rules.

 

[durandal1707]

Shoot it Chuck

 

[durandal1707]

Refshow

 

[The Napkin]

lol

 

[Salem's Lot]

You gotta be shitting me? You don’t call embellishment on them in the 2nd but you call that?

 

[durandal1707]

Apparently Pasta didn't defy physics hard enough there

 

[Dummy Hoy]

That's absurd.

 

[durandal1707]

Seriously what the fuck is he supposed to do there

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Absurd call on Pasta. I'm incensed.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

God give me the confidence of an NHL ref calling embellishment on a trip like that.

 

[Reardon's Beard]

That was a fucking batty call.
