OT: Bruins vs Leafs Game 6

[maust]

No significant Injury updates
For all the mediot talk about the B's second tier needing to step up (and they do), the top line has not scored in either of the losses.
I find it hard to believe McEvoy could have a worse night than he did in Game 5 when he looked like the kid he actually is, expect better tonight.
Rask is good to go, hopefully the team will play as well in front of him tonight as they did in front of Doby when a disgusted Cassidy pulled him to save him from further lack of support.
This team needs to remember puck luck and favorable bounces go largely to the team skating harder and play accordingly along with weathering the storm they can expect from the Leafs at the opening faceoff in front of their raucous hometown faithful.

Major tragedy today in Toronto with van killing pedestrians (apparently deliberately). Subway system was shut down. ? effect on game tonight.

Horrible news from Toronto today. Thoughts and prayers for victims and families. A lot of emotion in that building tonight...

Such a crazy world. Prayers to the families of the victims and the ones still in the hospital. Interesting to see how it affects the game.

Pertaining to this game, the question is will it prove a distraction or inspire the team to win one for its community? Tragedies likes this always put a real damper on sports/entertainment events, for obvious reasons.

Condolences to the families of the victims. Positive thoughts and prayers for them and the injured that they have swift and full recoveries. This damn planet is getting more incomprehensible every day.

Leafs release statement, will increase security measures after van incident - Sportsnet.ca

Didn’t the Bruins lose to the Leafs the first game after the marathon bombing? They should return the favor. Awful these things keep happening and we do so little about it.

Why are the bruins getting threads and not the Celtics?

NBA >>>>> NHL

There are plenty of folks who would strongly disagree with your assessment.

Dumb DOG penalty, no way was he intentionally firing that puck over the window.

Playing some crappy hockey. Gotta put the puck in the net. These slow starts don't help.

Bergeron on fire in faceoffs.

Pretty nice first period. High compete level.

That ****ing lineman is channeling his inner Hochuli.. draw violation after violation.

Playing on the road in a tough venue like Toronto, it's all about weathering the storm in the opening period. They did well, in that regard. Agreed though, hopefully they come out blazing for the second period, and find the back of the net a couple of times in the early minutes.

Pasta needs to get involved. Very quiet

Why aren't you creating Celts threads instead of whining about their absence?
Hockey doesn't just have the more manly players, it apparently has the more manly fans.
