12/13 @ DET - 14/15/16

[Terras]

I’m already sick of winter and it hasn’t even begun.

 

[McDrew]

The only good thing about winter is that's when the majority of hockey season happens.

Otherwise, fuck snow, fuck being cold, fuck traffic, fuck the lack of sunlight, and fuck the habs.

 

[cshea]

Rask in net tonight, Khudobin goes tomorrow. Postma appears to be in for Miller, and Acciari is back in for Vatrano.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

This may be the emptiest arena I've ever seen for an NHL game, granted there's a snowstorm in Detroit

 

[LogansDad]

Looks like a nice turnout for this one.

 

[cshea]

who is worse, Pierre or Milbury?

 

[Salem's Lot]

Ice looks shitty. Lots of bouncing pucks and a couple of toe picks.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

who is worse, Pierre or Milbury?

Pierre gets points for putting Milbury on blast yet again

 

[PedroSpecialK]

No more Postma please. Good on Grzelcyk to cover for him there

 

[cshea]

Postma sucks

 

[McDrew]

I need an advanced stat for "shots that went wide and ricocheted out of the zone without being touched". Marchand might be the league leader.

 

[cshea]

They are acting like this is the first time Krug has ever played in Detroit

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Chara is looking better than he has in either of the past two seasons, outstanding play to stick check the attacker at the defensive blue line and spring Marchand in one motion

 

[PedroSpecialK]

What a play by McAvoy on that 2-on-1

 

[McDrew]

Postma sucks

Once healthy, I think that Chara-McAvoy, Krug-Miller, Grzelyck-McQuaid are the best pairings the B's will have.

 

[cshea]

Charlie might be our best D already

 

[TFP]

They are acting like this is the first time Krug has ever played in Detroit

Production quality on NBC has plummeted this season it seems. Borderline incoherent at times.

Chara is looking better than he has in either of the past two seasons, outstanding play to stick check the attacker at the defensive blue line and spring Marchand in one motion

He had a couple tough passes/turnovers that shift too. Basically sums up his current game in one shift.

He’s still a top pairing defenseman which is amazing. It seems like playing with the young guys like Carlo and Chuckie Chubby Cheeks has invigorated him.

 

[TFP]

Once healthy, I think that Chara-McAvoy, Krug-Miller, Grzelyck-McQuaid are the best pairings the B's will have.

What happened to Carlo in this scenario?

Also, Grzelcyk is playing his way into the top 6 the last couple weeks.

 

[veritas]

That's why you have to be ok with Pastrnak making turnovers

 

[cshea]

Fluto had a piece yesterday that floated Carlo as a healthy scratch when McQuaid returns. I don’t like it. I’m a Grz fan. McQuaid should be the healthy scratch.

 

[TFP]

Totally agree.

 

[veritas]

Wtf are they talking about, Kevan Miller is the same player he's been for the past 3 years

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Christ how do you call that shit

 

[TFP]

That’s a HORRENDOUS call.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Ok so a forearm shiver from the side on a guy with the puck is a penalty now

 

[LogansDad]

Offense still looks like shit but at least the defense is playing better than they did in Miami on Monday night.

 

[Lupe Whalewatch]

I love the announcers saying the reason why there's 14,000 empty seats is because of all the nice restaurants in the concourse

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Not a great period- nice to get out of there 0-0

 

[cshea]

Yeah out attempted 14-6 at ES. Not good. They should really dominate the Wings.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Jimmy Swaggart on SBN as a flip channel

Jayson Tatum on NBSH. Checkmate.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Jayson Tatum on NBSH. Checkmate.

 

[cshea]

The Wire, season 1 episode 1 on HBO 2

 

[LogansDad]

Making dinner between periods. Then going to work.

You guys win.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Dreger trying to imply that the Bruins likely waiving and sending Beleskey down would affect future UFAs' view of Boston as a destination.

 

[McDrew]

The Wire, season 1 episode 1 on HBO 2

The Good Place, on Netflix. (Holy Forkballs its a good show)

Dreger trying to imply that the Bruins likely waiving and sending Beleskey down would affect future UFAs' view of Boston as a destination.

“If you suck we’ll send you to the AHL”

The horror

 

[Terras]

I dunno what you guys are talking about, Dreger suggesting that Beleskey is a borderline waive because he doesn't fit Cassidy's system and not because he's had 27 points in 3 seasons is extremely entertaining.

 

[McDrew]

“If you suck we’ll send you to the AHL”

The horror

A much more succinct explanation than the one I typed out.

 

[TFP]

The Good Place, on Netflix. (Holy Forkballs its a good show)

First time watching? Awesome show. Definitely the best network comedy out there.

 

[TFP]

The Wire, season 1 episode 1 on HBO 2

Not on xfinity here in Boston.

So many Little Caesar’s. So much Crazy Bread.

 

[cshea]

I’d have waived him and sent him down a month ago.

 

[Terras]

I’d have waived him and sent him down a month ago.

But would that entertain me in between periods?

 

[kenneycb]

If I bet on hockey I would put a good amount of money on the Caps tomorrow. Back to back when they’ll have to stay overnight or at least very, very late is not a good recipie.

 

[Salem's Lot]

I’d have waived him and sent him down a month ago.

Postma too. God he sucks.

 

[McDrew]

First time watching? Awesome show. Definitely the best network comedy out there.

Third time through currently on S1. Watching as S2 comes out. Its fantastic.
Premise, twist, execution, acting, and visual gags (digital and practical) that are all very well done.

 

[cshea]

Postma too. God he sucks.

If there are no other injuries this could happen. They will need to clear 2 spots for Spooner and McQuaid in the next week or 2.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

I didn't manage to see the actual penalty...

ah.

 

[Maximus]

Good job by the D clearing Abdulkador's screen, not even in the picture.
