7/30- Exhibition vs. Columbus

[cshea]

We're back! 7:00 on NESN. Not sure what's available out of market, but I'd assume NBCSN/NHL Network would have it since they've had basically every game so far.

They can dress 13F and 7D for the game. It should be the playoff lineup, that's how other teams have handled it thusfar. The only possible exception is Pastrnak, but Cassidy said today he suspects Pasta will play.

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Krejci - Studnicka
Kuraly - Coyle - Bjork/Kuhlman
Nordstrom - Lindholm - Wagner

Chara - McAvoy
Krug - Carlo
Grzelyck - Lauzon

Rask
Halak

Safe bet that Kuhlman is the 13th F as the only real decision at F is who plays among the Bjork/Studnicka/Kuhlman group, which really is Studnicka v. Kuhlman. I'm not sure who the 7th D will be, I would think it'll be either Clifton or Moore.

Ritchie is back on the ice today during an optional skate.

 

[LogansDad]

Finally, something worth waking up for in the afternoon.

 

[cshea]

Moore is the 7th D. Pastrnak will play. Rask starts.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Rask won’t play the whole game per Cassidy.

The 1 problem with the 1 game exhibition. Going to start the round robin without a goalie having played 60 minutes in over 4 months.

At least it’s not a short playoff series. The round robin is really a warm up for them, and most certainly Rask.

 

[McDrew]

Given that the bubble presents the weakest home ice advantage in hockey history, I'm more concerned about them being ready for the actual playoffs than their specific spot in them.

 

[cshea]

Folks, I am excited. I will even admit to being excited to hear Jack Edwards.

 

[Haunted]

So here we go. I’m still not convinced this is the right thing to do. But the NHL seems to have a much better plan than MLB, so there’s that at least.

the divider between Brick and Jack looks odd.

It looks like the cubicles in my office. On another note, I forgot how much of douche that Charlie Moore is.

 

[Haunted]

I had canceled YouTube tv right when the pandemic truly took hold and only signed up for it this week. I had totally forgotten how much I hate live tv.


although regular YouTube really punishes you with commercials lately too.

 

[cshea]

Good shift from the Krejci kind, but Studnicka should’ve shot the puck.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Stud looks good early

That’s what BC wanted to see from him is a shoot first mentality

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Columbus announcer just said Bruins are #1 seed regardless since no one in the round robin can catch them. Is that accurate? I didn’t think that was correct.

 

[Jordu]

Good to see you all. Everybody go easy tonight and work your way into game thread shape.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Pretty terrible shift from Kuraly

Not accurate at all. They could be 1-4.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Not accurate at all. They could be 1-4.

Thanks. That was always my understanding but thought perhaps I missed something.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Pretty terrible shift from Kuraly

Yeah, that was ugly. Might as well get it our of the way tonight...

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Good to see you all. Everybody go easy tonight and work your way into game thread shape.

Us gamethreaders have been practicing optimal social distancing since the dawn of SoSH.

 

[cshea]

Bjork - Coyle - Kuhlman here

 

[catomatic]

Anybody have a link for an out of NESN range, non-NHL Network subscriber?

 

[RedOctober3829]

Bruins look like they’re in quick sand

 

[cshea]

Krejci almost concussed himself on the crossbar there.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Nobody there to clear the puck off the long rebound

 

[LogansDad]

They looked great for the first couple minutes, then just lost it. Bjork and Studnicka are the best players on the ice for them so far, I think.

 

[Lupe Whalewatch]

What is Torts wearing?? Is that bubble casual?

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I'm glad this is happening, but I take little from this game. It must be hard for most guys to get jazzed about giving full effort in a scrimmage game.

 

[TheRealness]

Studnicka can fly. He looks good

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Folks, I am excited. I will even admit to being excited to hear Jack Edwards.

Who are you?

 

[RedOctober3829]

Awful in their own end. Get the kinks out tonight cause Philly will be a test

 

[Salem's Lot]

Not exactly crisp passing and puck moving from either side.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Fucking clear the puck

 

[Salem's Lot]

Good thing the refs didn’t take the cheese from Foligno on that one. Unless Grzelcyk spent the last 4 months taking horse testosterone he’s not knocking a bigger guy over like that.

 

[cshea]

I don’t think they’ve played in months, but not sure.

 

[RedOctober3829]

I don’t think they’ve played in months, but not sure.

About as rusty as you could imagine

 

[Salem's Lot]

I guess that’s a hook when it’s Marchand.

 

[cshea]

Free Jaro

 

[Salem's Lot]

Why can’t we see the red light when the puck goes in?

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Well, all of a sudden I am less excited for hockey

 

[cshea]

I miss the rona shutdown.

 

[RedOctober3829]

What the fuck

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Well, all of a sudden I am less excited for hockey

They haven't given up a goal that matters in 3.5 months.

If you're looking on the bright side.

 

[LogansDad]

Yikes.

 

[The Napkin]

Was that timing right with Marchand still in the box?

 

[RedOctober3829]

How many of these guys drank a 6er on the golf course today?
