Ooohhhhh yeah, it's a Boston game preview and open thread

GG11 really outdid herself with this one

Well look at what we have here. A mediocre Bruins team against a mediocre Habs team. This should be epic! Well not really. And it's tough to get the Bs hate on with both teams so meh. Maybe HF10 should have written this; his Bs hate always burns hotter than a Wooderson joint. OK, so I'm just gonna ramble a bit while you don't pay attention because you're staring at today's game pic. I'm not paying attention either, so don't worry about insulting me by barely reading.

The game starts at 7 in Beantown and there will be hot McSplooging action. Though given the mediocrity of the two teams, it may be difficult for McSplooge to find someone to splooge over. This is the first of 6 meetings this year. Including last year's playoff nightmare, Habs have lost 9 straight to the B's. Bring on the double digits. No Bs preview would be complete without a link to our good friend Cornelius.

Your hot Habs worth watching are the only players who seem to be able to score, GMS and Pleks. On the lettuce and tomato cold side, there's just about everyone else. Of course we don't need to mention Tits, pointless in 6 games now. The Urologist is pointless in 5. And take a deep breath before you read TFS' stats in his last 7 games - 0-6-0, 4.24, .851. But he's chill about it.

For the Bs, there is no one hot at all, unless you count Krejci who has a fever because of the Swine Flu. The Bs can't score. They've been shut out in their last 2 games and their PP is dead last in the league. They have managed to stay in games with some good goaltending though. Particular shout out of suckitude to Michael Ryder, pointless in 6. Oh man that's a jinx.

This might be a very long injury paragraph. The internets were saying that Gio is a game time decision, but RDS has him playing. Hal Gill might be out a couple of weeks at least. Dagger's concussion will keep him out for a week. Bs aren't faring much better on the injury front, without Savard, Lucic, and the aforementioned H1N1'er Krejci. Stubbs' and RDS' Tweets have TFS starting, and the news that Pyatt and White are playing, while Stewie and CHips are out. No offense JM, but CHips is not the problem here.

Sorry you're stuck with our old-fashioned blogging comments unlike HI/O's fancy-schmancy new live chat. Feel free to go over there if you want. Just make sure not to swear or say anything bad about anyone. Good luck with that.
