Bruins at Oilers

[tonyandpals]

Let's hope they keep the great 5x5 play going. Points are at a premium for both teams.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Need another 2 points today - keep it going!

 

[RedOctober3829]

Need another 2 points today - keep it going!

While 2 points are great today, they don't play until tomorrow.

 

[kenneycb]

That just shows how much points are at a premium.

 

[tonyandpals]

That just shows how much points are at a premium.

Exactly!

But really, the Pacific is bonkers right now with 5 teams within 2 points.

 

[tonyandpals]

While 2 points are great today, they don't play until tomorrow.

Come fill the void tonight in Bedford, 9:40. Skaters needed!

 

[Over Guapo Grande]

I saw a Craigslist ad similar to that. Without the skaters part.

 

[cshea]

Looks like no changes to the Bruins lineup.

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Krejci - Kuhlman
Bjork - Coyle - Heinen
Nordstrom - Kuraly - Wagner

Chara - McAvoy
Krug - Carlo
Grzelyck - Lauzon

Rask

I saw a Craigslist ad similar to that. Without the skaters part.

Ha

 

[tonyandpals]

I saw a Craigslist ad similar to that. Without the skaters part.

Haha, yeah, I feel like I answered one of those ads last night. No one on the bench. Just not hockey at that point. Good cardio though...

8:30 yet?

 

[Haunted]

Well, did you reply?

 

[Over Guapo Grande]

Well, did you reply?

Gentelemen don't kiss and tell.

I, however, am no gentleman.


No

 

[Haunted]

Aw.

 

[tonyandpals]

No McDavid tonight.
Lost 8 out of last 10 to Edmonton.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

While 2 points are great today, they don't play until tomorrow.

Since they slacked off and got no points last night, let's grab 2 tonight!

 

[The Napkin]

Drop the fucking puck already

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Yeah this is ridiculous. 6:30 Mountain listed start time was dumb to begin with

 

[durandal1707]

Pretty good start.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

It's incredible how much the game flows on a good ice surface

 

[cshea]

Unreal

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Ack. Missed the start. On NBCSports they are saying the Rangers want a 1st round pick, a top prospect, and a conditional pick for Kreider. Oh yay we scored

 

[durandal1707]

BERGERON

 

[Dollar]

That was an amazing play by all three forwards. Holy shit.

Also, this is my annual "it's such a pleasure to watch a game on Edmonton ice" post. It looks beautiful as always.

 

[Maximus]

BERGY. Great feed by MARSHMONT

 

[Jordu]

goddam is Marchand on fire. Great finish by Bergeron

 

[durandal1707]

Pasta battling three Oilers there, incredible.

 

[TFP]

It's incredible how much the game flows on a good ice surface

It makes such a difference.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Amazing what 21 degree weather will do for an ice surface

 

[durandal1707]

Generating some great chances. Keep it up.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Amazing what 21 degree weather will do for an ice surface

They have the technology to do that in Boston. They just can’t get it right with that building.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Bear having a real rough night

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Not much of a slash

 

[durandal1707]

Marchand and Bergeron carving up the EDM defense.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Not much of a slash

They missed the hook on Bergeron right before it so I guess they had to call that one.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

They have the technology to do that in Boston. They just can’t get it right with that building.

It's got to be the basketball games right?

 

[durandal1707]

Grz bailed out Krejci there.

 

[LogansDad]

That was as bad a pass as you will ever see Krejci make.

 

[Salem's Lot]

It's got to be the basketball games right?

No. They just fucked up the remodel. Amelie Arena hosts way more non-hockey events, in Tampa, yet they’ve figured out how to keep good ice. And they have shit like tractor pulls and trade shows on that floor every weekend when there’s no hockey.

 

[cshea]

It's got to be the basketball games right?

Part of it, but about half the league plays in shared building.

 

[durandal1707]

Bad penalty Nordstrom.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

God damn that was dumb, Nordstrom

 

[Maximus]

Dumb penalty by Nordstrom in the offensive zone.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

No. They just fucked up the remodel. Amelie Arena hosts way more non-hockey events, in Tampa, yet they’ve figured out how to keep good ice. And they have shit like tractor pulls and trade shows on that floor every weekend when there’s no hockey.

Can it be fixed? I am entirely ignorant on the subject.

 

[durandal1707]

Marchand came to play tonight. Great PK work.

 

[cshea]

I’ll take it but blood = 4 is so dumb.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Can it be fixed? I am entirely ignorant on the subject.

Not my area expertise, but guys I know that manage rinks tell me yes, but expensive.

 

[durandal1707]

Get the fuck out the way ref

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Not my area expertise, but guys I know that manage rinks tell me yes, but expensive.

Good info. Since they are in the professional hockey business they should get it right. I know in my hood the King's ice at the Staples Center is terrible and they blame the 2 basketball teams they share the arena with.

 

[durandal1707]

Nice opening period, PPs aside.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Nice opening period, PPs aside.

Edmonton is a top 3 in the league penalty kill team.
