We'll see what Bruce says later today but judging from his comments yesterday, Pasta is unlikely to play. I'd roll with the same lineup as Saturday.

Marchand - Bergeron - Bjork
DeBrusk - Krejci - Kase
Kuraly - Coyle - Studnicka
Nordstrom - Lindholm - Wagner

Chara - McAvoy
Krug - Carlo
Grzelyck - Clifton

I hope Bjork rebounds. I get the same feeling from him I got from Heinen, that there never will be a "there" there. (I know their games are different). People who know more than me believe in him, and he looks at least good for stretches, but then disappears for even longer stretches. I get that he's in an impossible spot right now, but still. If Studnicka's one-game trend continues upward, I expect him and Bjork to switch lines.

I think there's a "there", but I get what you are saying. I think Bjork has a much higher ceiling, but also a much lower floor than Heinen did, but it's obvious the Bruins think something closer to the ceiling is more likely.

I'm also hopeful that he rebounds from last game, because that was a little rough to watch. I think he tried to do too much after being put on the 1st line, and got outside of his game a bit, which is part of the reason I mentioned before the game that I would rather Studnicka there and Bjork on the 3rd line, because he has looked awesome with Coyle.

Also... win today.

I have seen 4PM, 5PM and 8PM as the start time for this game so far this morning. Is the 8PM East/5PM Pacific NHL.com has now correct?

I am having a pea-sized cyst removed from my forehead in an hour, but thankfully it should be over around game time. I have been told that facial expressions will likely be very painful for a couple weeks as in the worst case scenario, as I might require TWO stitches.

PS: Rather than banning trolls, can we just add a script that modifies everything they say to the SpOnGeBoB cApS so they're taken with appropriate seriousness?
