I don't have tickets, was just going to grab some at the Garden. It's going to be amazing, but just don't want to be a part of the circus right now.

Fenway this weekend sounds like a better idea.

Yeah, I don't blame you for not wanting to deal with these lines:

I just dont think what happened this afternoon or on Monday would dissuade me from going if I had the opportunity.

New lines tonight:

Marchand-Bergeron-Seguin
Campbell-Krejci-Jagr
Paille-Kelly-Horton
Lucic-Peverley-Thornton

Caron has been sent down so I wonder if Soderberg will be dressed.

Also Dougie will be back after "resting" the last two games.

Lines look great. Everybody is getting healthy. I'm jacked and pumped but dissapointed I won't be watching the game live. I want to at least catch the anthem before I head out to my basketball game. :/

Subban and Markov starting the game together. Interesting, I wonder how long that will last.

Bergeron is back already? I'm surprised, I thought he'd be out until the playoffs.

First game back, it didn't look like much when he got hit, if thats anything to draw conclusions from. He also came back relatively quickly from his last concussion in 2011.

If Boston and Pittsburgh win tonight we'll be one step closer to the Leafs/Habs series everyone secretly wants.

Sorry Montreal, gotta take one for the team tonight.

I don't secretly want that at all. B's-Leafs first round please.

Frankly, I'm not overly thrilled about the Habs' first round opponent no matter what way it goes. If we can hold onto 2nd, we'll probably get the Islanders, who've given us a ton of trouble this year. If we slide to 4th, we'll probably get the Leafs, who've given us a ton of trouble this year. I'd rather end up with the Rangers or Ottawa.

I think Reimer and Nabokov could be more easily exposed in the playoffs than Lundqvist or Anderson.

Exactly, the only thing about the Leafs that bothers me if they would wear us down physically and probably take out a player or two of ours.

The Rangers seem unlikely unless the Isles out and out collapse, Ottawa is only two points back of Toronto with a game in hand, so if you slide to fourth it's definitely a possibility.

Not that I'd want to play Montreal first round, I have a felling that would end very badly.

Rangers can't score though and I think Ottawa in its current state, while still tough, would pose fewer challenges than the Leafs or the Isles.

Either way though, I'm 90% certain its going to be the Isles or the Leafs, depending on how Boston finishes the season. Hopefully the Isles though, as that would mean the #2 seed and 2 rounds of home ice.

I should also have added that it doesn't matter who we play in the first round if Price and the defense don't get better. Any team we play will sweep us if we continue to play like the last 2 games.

I remember when Lucic-Krejci-Horton was the Bruins' top line.

That was two years ago. Last year the top two lines were about even when healthy but this season Bergeron, Seguin and Marchand have proven to be markedly better.

It should also be noted that Paille and Campbell have played well enough to be given at shot with some more skilled linemates and ice time. No offense to Shawn Thornton intended.
