bob_sauve28 Posted January 1, 2022 Report Posted January 1, 2022 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." Quote

Yea unfortunately not every “Sabres fan” feels that way. So be it. Maybe this afternoon Sabres see a change of fortune … Sabres … 3 Bruins … 2 Tuch, Oloffson, or Dahlin with a goal Quote
Pimlach Posted January 1, 2022 Report Posted January 1, 2022 The Broons are healthy but I’m hoping for some rust on them and a better UPL for us. Sabres 4 Bahston 2 Marchand Waste 3 Quote
French Collection Posted January 1, 2022 Report Posted January 1, 2022 The Bruins should be rusty, jump all over them early. Dahlin with 1G 1A. Right the ship boys. Meandering waste. 1 Quote
