Bruins @ Leafs - Apr. 3rd, 7:30pm - TSN, TSN 1050

[Joe S.]

BOS is 34 games above .500.  Thirty-four. 

And they were at the bottom on the conference too after 10-15 games if I recall correctly.

I know most people hate the bruins, but I'm just jealous of them. They play exactly how I'd want a team I root for to play. They remind me, albeit loosely, on the 2004 Leafs, which is probably my favourite Leafs team ever (that I watched).

I mean how can you hate a player like Lucic, every team needs a player like him. I was hoping that's what Clarkson was going to bring to the table. Instead it seems he only brought a table.

Yeah, but do they have a player in the top 5 in scoring? Didn't think so. Eat it, Beantown.

I have to admit I like Lucic, although I think he is one of dirtest hitters in the league, and if he werent on BOS, he would of been supended a couple time already. That being said. I would love him on our team. If Clarkson turns out to be .50 - .75 of the way Lucic plays I would be happy with him.

Ashton has been called up. No word on if/where he'll be playing tonight though.

#freeAshton?

Can Phaneuf please step up to the plate and level that little shrimp Marchand? That would be epic.

Exactly how I feel, and why they're my #2 team right now.

We beat them before and we can do it again.
That game in January featured a big game from Bozak and we will need a repeat performance.

I don't remember that team ever being nearly as sound defensively as the Bruins though.  Not even close really.

I wonder what the vegas spread is for the game.  It feels like the leafs will get crushed.

That's why I said loosely. More on the puck possession cycling side of things. They played tough,  way tougher than anything I've over the last 10 years.

 

[WAYNEINIONA]

I have a number of Bruin fans at work and none of them want to play the Leafs in the first round again this year. They expect them to come out flying tonight and not let up. could be a long night.

 

[iwas11in67]

Leafs in double OT.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Aren't games in Toronto almost always 7:00 starts?

 

[bustaheims]

jonasTSN1050: Joffrey Lupul is not on the ice for the pre-game skate. Looks like he won't play tonight. Unclear why at this point.

jonasTSN1050: Have to think Jerry D'Amigo will replace Lupul in the lineup. Carter Ashton, recalled this morning, is not on the ice.

Kulemin: 7th in even strength points; 2nd in hits for forwards; one of the best defensive forwards on the team; 4:40 TOTAL power play time for the season..............let's put him on the 4th line.
