Richards vs Dubinsky (cause why not?)

Clifford vs Dorsett

[shaud19]

I'm tired of Boston/Buffalo match-up. If Kaleta gets running around maybe he'll embarrass another Bruin with some right fists. Scott needs to fight somebody other than Thornton. Marchand owes Ott a fight, although Marchand will probably continue to run his mouth and do jack squat.

im hoping simmonds is good to go fight-wise and clarkson doesnt wanna hug him to death again

[gdameo]

Scott was scratched last game so hope he will be back in. I'm interested to see what ruff will do because sabres are in slump. If he is not in, bruins might run around.

Pretty sure that Scott will be scratched tonight in favor of more softness . Don't worry sabre fans they will put a card board cut out of him on the bench and the bruins will be on their best behavior

Ya beating Greg fukin Campbell is quite the feat init? My mum could beat up Campbell. Hes won maybe 1 fight in his carreer an that was agasint a Hab. Tell him to have a go at Luccic again cause that was embarrassing last year according to your logic.


McCormick v McQuaid
Campbell v Ott

Barch v Sestito (if in?)

On GR they said the lines would be the same as the Sens game? If Mindy scratches Scott I sincerely hope the Bruins use this opportunity to re-emerge as the top of the toughness ladder.

Which underperforming soft player would they put in his place? If it comes down to McCormick or Scott, it's gotta be Scott... but I'd prefer them both. You can get zero production and defensive liability from them or another forward. With them you at least get physicality. It's a very good possibility that the Sabres could be dead last in the NHL after tonights game.


Edit: According to Paul Hamilton on twitter McCormick is out. I assume that means Scott is in.

Hahahahahaha, "Embarrass another Bruin" - Campbell is hardly a big win. Maybe Lucic will plant him again?

[Sukoshi84]

potential, but you never know.

Hopefully Scott is in and something happens!

[Peters 76]

Scott in, McCormick out. Here's hoping to another Bruin or two being hammered.

LOL. Why do Bruins fans always want the easiest matchups for Lucic? Asking Kaleta to fight Lucic is like Lucic fightng John Scott, except Kaleta actually had the balls to fight Lucic, and I doubt Lucic will get anywhere near Scott.

[BuffaloBrawler]

As a fight fan, I'm happy as long as there are spirited scraps. Sure, it would be great to see Buffalo win them, but realistically, they're bound to take a few on the chin with the line up Boston has.

I think Scott fights tonight. If he wins against Lucic or Thorts, people will claim he should have. If he loses, he'll go back to being an enigma. Buffalo's history of disappointing leads me to believe he gets brought back down to earth.

I'd like Scott to tune McQuaid, and after that I couldn't care less if Lucic or Thorts beats him.

I'd also like to see Marchand get whooped, but I doubt ott has what it takes. He's less than impressive with the gloves off.

I'm not saying Lucic should fight Kaleta. Numb nuts here is making out Kaleta as some kind of Bruin killer. He beat a punching bag, turtle to McQuaid and got pumped by Lucic.
