Game Thread: Bruins Hosting Lightning, Veteran's Day, 2013

[Brahmsian]

For a change a Bruins game that isn't directly opposite a Celtics game!

We Boston fans won't need to channel-switch, tonight!

Never mind our PK success against Tampa Bay lately, more PP time than PK time is always desirable.

As is focusing on puck control rather than racking up hits. Allowing the hitee to get the puck to a teammate
renders the hit very nearly meaningless.

Let the other side drop the gloves first to improve the chances of them getting an "instigating" penalty.

GO BRUINS!

Good 1st period even if we didn't score.

Keep the pressure on and Lindback will crack eventually.

GO BRUINS!

Speak up, fellow Bruins fans!

Stamkos' injury is taking a lot of pleasure out of the lead we've gotten since it happened.

I hope it's not the torn ACL it looked like to me.

what happened to Stamkos, was a Bruin responsible?

It wasn't anything deliberate, if that's what you mean.

Stamkos' leg hit the goalpost and it looked to me like something in the knee area got torn.

A clean check followed by some lousy luck is my take on it.

tampa now has 5 losses this season, 3 of those to the Bs

Good game Bruin fans, we'll played & deserved the win! Congrats also on the shutout. The injury to Stammers was definitely not caused by a Bruin player at all, just a way to odd hit of the goal post. I've watched it several times now & just a really freak accident. I hope your B's keep up that kind of play that they showed in this game. You all will be out for a great season. Best wishes B fans!

Shame about Stamkos but congrats on the win Bruin fans.
