Rob McClanahan, the other olympian I got him confused with Bob Mongrain

Paul Cyr scored three goals in the third period against Pete Peters to beat the Bruins in Boston 3-2. It was great. 1983ish?

At least he got that you don’t play Skinner in OT

Jiri Dudacek—drafted but never got out from behind the iron curtain

Gates Orlando!

Oh!

I can’t understand why Samuelson was not called up. They really could of used him against Boston

Krueger was right about not playing Skinner in OT

Same crap

Sucks giving up two in the third, but we still got a chance.

Them two on defense together is trouble

Way to easy

He’s ain’t going no where!! That pass was insane

That was sick!!! Just sick

Come on PP

Joki is turning into a good war horse

Boom!! Nice shift, nice goal. Jeff Skinner, I apologize for all I said about you lol

Yup!

Missed passes!

Tage, nice play

Dunleavy doesnt do play by play, he just gives updates

Wow, we have a lead early in a game 😶

Me too! Well, except for Charlie McAvoy. He's a good one

BOSTON - The Bruins will kick off 2022 by resuming their season with a New Year's Day matinee against the Buffalo Sabres at TD Garden. It will mark Boston's first game since Dec. 16 after the resurgence of COVID-19 led to 11 Bruins heading into protocol and forced the NHL to extend the traditional holiday break. But when the Black & Gold, who had their last six games postponed, take the ice on Saturday afternoon, they will be back at full strength - barring no further COVID issues, of course - with Charlie Coyle, the final Bruins player in protocol, returning to practice on Friday afternoon. "For myself, personally, I'm pumped. For the next little while here, I don't have to test or anything like that," said Brandon Carlo, who cleared protocol on Wednesday after dealing with what he described as a mostly asymptomatic experience with COVID-19. "It's nice for the guys that got it to just move forward and focus on the hockey season because that's what we wanted to do all along. I feel like the good chunk of us got it. We'll see if we have another flare up, but I definitely think…with all the guys here who got it, [we can] play a fair game and go out there and compete."
