Whatever happens. Go out with a bang, please?

Whatever happens. Go out with a bang, please?

A real smart, classy lady, and a sweetheart too!.

 

[Shaun]

throw the body and put the puck on net that’s all

 

[Mione134]

throw the body and put the puck on net that’s all

And throw a punch.

I demand at least one

 

[Bad Bruin]

And throw a punch.

I demand at least one

I’d even be happy with a subtle jab that nobody sees yet somehow Tkachuk develops an upper body injury…

 

[Aeroforce]

Carolina provided a nice template for winning on the road in an elimination game. Let's hope the B's were taking notes.

Forget about settling scores, and avoid all needless penalties.

Despite the over-zealous fan reaction, this isn't last year's Florida Panthers. They are limiting the post-whistle scrums, often abandon their heavy forecheck for the trap, and they aren't even dressing their two biggest pests (Cousins, Lomberg).

If the Bruins play the Panthers' game, they'll be shaking hands at night's end; and we'll have seen our last goalie hug.

 

[Mione134]

Hopefully it's not our last game of the season. I hope the boys show up. Show heart. And show up. Play hard. For the love of all good things, put pucks on net. It's not hard. We've seen it. Defend yourselves but get the job done. Foot on neck. As soon as your skates hit the ice, be ready. Be ready and willing. Take care of business and handle your business. Go out swinging. Or continue on by swinging, either way balance it. Get it together boys. You're out here beating yourselves with mental errors. Trust yourself. Just your teammates, and give it your all. I beg. Just give it your all. Heart. Belief. Believe.

​

Fenway last trip to Florida for this Bruins round.

 

[Maine Fan]

While I would like Boston to continue to win I honestly don't think it makes sense since they won't get into the Cup Round.

 

[Fenway]

Wake up to a South Florida anchor telling me a bear is no match for a panther

 

[caz16]

If we get a fairly officiated game and we lose, so be it. I hope the boys can muster a decent game and compete without the BS affecting them. Swayman deserves them to play a hard game to give him a chance.

I agree, forget about settling scores, too little, too late. If the game gets beyond reach, then have at it, be sore losers, don't play with sagging shoulders, use them to inflict some pain. I would have no problem with some dirty work on Bennett.

I will cheer them to win and hope they surprise us tonight with forcing a game 6.

 

[UncleRico]

I’ll go 4-2 bruins. They’ve been a better road team than home team for a few years now.

Interested to see the Bruins reaction now that they’ve seen all the angles of the Marchand play. See if it matters.

 

[Fenway]

If we get a fairly officiated game

That will be hard with Steve Kozari involved.

Still, I believe there will be a Game 6 at TD Garden on Thursday

 

[EchoNumeral]

Any news on Marchand?

 

[chizzler]

Any news on Marchand?

He should stay out. If he is still with symptoms, don’t risk your health.

 

[Ladyfan]

I hope they win tonight but do not have a good feeling.

Brad should not play. They should not let him risk his health.

Hey Steve, I hope the Bruins win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[JCRO]

Game Day.

Please don’t let it be the last.

Go Bs

 

[HustleB]

Just win. Forcing a game 6 is the only revenge that matters. Bring this home one more time and let’s see what happens. Go B’s.

 

[sooshii]

I feel like May 14 is a bad juju day.
Somebody talk me down.

 

[rfournier103]

I think there’s a shot the Bruins pull this one out.

With the NHL’s officiating as atrocious as it was in Games 3 and 4, I can see some ‘makeup calls’ going the Bruins’ way tonight. Not to mention, a sixth game in the Boston market would be good for ratings.

Of course, the actual Boston Bruins need to show up and play with some huevos. That is up to them.

 

[Gee Wally]

 

[caz16]

Here's my treasured Bruins sweater that my beloved Mom made me 50+ years ago. Hopefully it will bring some good luck. Maybe Espo's number will make it go to 7.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

I’d even be happy with a subtle jab that nobody sees yet somehow Tkachuk develops an upper body injury…

Do people truly understand what happened on the Bennett Marchand play?

Imagine Tatum driving the lane and Butler rabbit punches and concussed Tatum?

Butler would be gone for the series.

Who in their right minds think that is a major league team sport taken seriously?
