Game Thread: Bruins At Maple Leafs, 7:00 PM, December 8 2013

[Brahmsian]

Bruins follow up a characteristically dramatic last-period win against Pittsburgh with what I hope will be a wire-to-wire win against Toronto. Not actually particularly hostile to Toronto, I just a multi-goal win against anyone.

Bruins are now averaging a rounded-off 1.38 points/game while Toronto is averaging 1.17.

Bruins won 3-1 in Boston on November 9th. Don't remember but suspect they were trailing after 2 periods. That seems to be their MO this season.

As I said last night I would willingly trade face-off wins for take-aways. Would also like to see some PP success this game. There's been too little of that to date this season.

GO BRUINS!

Both teams on the second night of a back to back - we'll see if the Bruins use Chad Johnson tonight in net

GO BRUINS!

Leafs gave up 50 shots to the lowly Sens last night.

This could get really ugly.

 

[BF4L]

Leafs as of the last year or so have played the Bruins pretty good. Bruins are gonna be shorthanded and fatigue may be a factor.

 

[Brahmsian]

FYI, Celtics and Patriots have already won today. Celtics by a big margin, Patriots when a last-second (literally)
Cleveland FG attempt fell short.

GO BRUINS!

 

[Brahmsian]

No Rene Rencourt tonight since it's in Toronto

Let's hope that's the worst part of the game from a Boston standpoint!

Racking up more takeaways than giveaways for 3 straight periods would also be enjoyable.

GO BRUINS!

Holland with some Dutch treat 1-0

 

[Brahmsian]

CASH IN this power play, Bruins!

 

[Brahmsian]

We did manage more takeaways than the Leafs that period, but also had 4 GIVEAWAYS!

That last has to change.

GO BRUINS!

Hamilton injured will not return.

 

[Brahmsian]

Let's not wait till the 3d period to score, Bruins.

Score, and take the lead, THIS period!

GO BRUINS!

2 PP goals 2-1 Boston

 

[Brahmsian]

About time you got out of the way of the puck, Bernier!

It belongs behind you, under the crossbar!

GO BRUINS! ADD TO THE LEAD!

Not a very good joke.

I see too many non-joke posts blaming officials on all the boards.
