10/3- Opening Night @ Dallas

[cshea]

Let’s get it going. We start at the bottom of the mountain again. Only one choice, climb it and reach the summit this year. Go B’s!

Krejci is a GTD, but was a full participant in practice today.

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Krejci - Kuhlman
Heinen - Coyle - Backes
Wagner - Kuraly - Ritchie/Lindholm

Chara - McAvoy
Krug - Carlo
Grzelyck - Clifton/Kampfer

Rask

 

[Haunted]

I feel like that's an incredibly strong lineup if Kuhlman can continue to provide what he showed in the playoffs. Same with Clifton.

I've given up hope that Backes will be anything but useless, but I understand why he's in there.

 

[TFP]

Backes isn't useless. He's still an NHL player.

He's just not worth $6M AAV.

If I'm not entitled to an irrational dislike in my fandom, I don't know what we're doing in this life.

No one is saying the the hill's to steep to climb.

Oh, hi there, hockey. Welcome back.

 

[Ale Xander]

It is chilly this morning

Ergo, time for hockey.

Making us wait until 8:30 seems like a cruel trick though.

Guess it gives me time to organize/pack before the game at least.

 

[tonyandpals]

Good to be back. Pizza and a super beef with mayo will be ordered.

 

[cshea]

DeBrusk was on Spittin Chiclets today if anyone is looking for some pre-game Bruins content.

There’s also a new Bruins pod on The Athletic, The Perfection Pod. It’s Fluto Joe McDonald and Billy Jaffe. Holy accent, Joey. Anyways, they are planning on doing 2 podcasts a week during the season. 1 free and the 2nd will be behind the paywall.

Indeed this is the play.

Well, that and charging up the new power bank to level my mage on the flight...

 

[The Napkin]

When are you guys flying out? We had to cancel the Vegas portion of the trip which sucks but still doing PHX and hopefully next year will do Vegas.

4ish something on Delta through ATL. Where we have to spend 3 hours. But the good news is my buddy going with is platinum or whatever so free drinks in the sky lounge.
we're in 116, Row G. Have to grab a beer at intermission or something...

 

[PedroSpecialK]

For sure - you guys staying in / near Scottsdale?

 

[RedOctober3829]

I am so happy that hockey season is back. Can't wait to watch McAvoy turn into a Norris Trophy candidate and Pastrnak ascend to a Hart Trophy candidate.

 

[The Napkin]

"Phoenix" someplace. We're staying with some friends but I'm not 100% sure where exactly.

 

[bigq]

Let’s go!!! Shoot down the Stars and start the season of with a W.

Nowhere to go but forward. Cheers to a new season, let's start it off right.

 

[ngruz25]

The new NESN logo is worse than Pooh Bear.

 

[cshea]

And they still haven’t gotten rid of Jack or the fucking ticker

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Great, puck drop by a war criminal

Win

[durandal1707]

Wow, Ritchie

Terrific effort from Coyle

 

[The Napkin]

If you had Ritchie for the first goal of the year I'm really freaking impressed

 

[LogansDad]

Can't watch tonight, moving out of base housing tomorrow and jetting town to move for my retirement.

Also realized I will be in Phoenix the same day as the B's but can't go, so that's sad.

Scoring a minute into the season alieves the pain a little, though.

 

[fiskful of dollars]

So happy to back w/ you fine ladies and gentlemen. Some unfinished business this season.

RITCHIE...wow.

[durandal1707]

Coyle doing the little things so far

 

[cshea]

Sign him now before he costs too much

 

[durandal1707]

Close one. Good stop by Bishop

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Great screen by Coyle

 

[cshea]

This time last year it was something like 747383-0 Washington

 

[durandal1707]

Tuukka
