Pre-Game Talk: GAME 25 - December 7 | It's Been 84 Years.. | Bruins vs. Buffalo Sabres | 7pm ET | NESN, 98.5 FM

[Dr Hook]

Pretty sure Razor has said he also was told to be ready to be EBUG on an occasion or two in the past.

Yes he has talked about about it on the podcast- he was an EBUG at least once.

 

[BamBamCam]

Sorry to spoil the party but Tuukka can't be an EBUG because he played in the NHL.

Former Bruins G Tuukka Rask to serve as emergency backup | TSN

 

[Kazcram]

That site is basing their projected lineup on yesterday's skate in which Marchand was absent due to attending the services for his late grandmother. Heinen practiced in 63's spot.

I'd guess that one of Lauko, Beecher, or Steen sits tonight - unless someone else is sick/injured.

I haven't seen anyone post any lines from this morning's skate.

Razor has been the ebug a few times

Bussi has been recalled on an emergency basis

Click on the sourced link. It's from yesterday morning.

According to cap friendly, Mitchell is the emergency loan status, not Lohrei.

From today's Bruins' press release:

Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced today, December 7, that the team has placed defenseman Derek Forbort on long-term injured reserve and recalled defenseman Mason Lohrei from Providence on an emergency basis.

Yeah and of course it’s the one game scheduled this week and it’s the same night as both the Pats and my Knights of Columbus meeting.

Bruins may score more points than the Pats.

I stand corrected.

 

[UConn126]

What's Forbort's injury?

 

[whatsbruin]

Only 10 points separating 1st and 9th points important for all.

It's amazingly hard to get info on EBUG, but from what I've seen/heard, since an EBUG who plays has to sign an Amateur Tryout contract on the fly, it precludes former pros since they can't sign one. I'm pretty sure this is a fairly recent (2017-ish) change to the prior rule, when Essensa, Talas, et al used to do it.

Is our Zamboni driver any good ?

Not bad

 

[lopey]

The league needs to allow teams to carry 3 goalies and not gave the 3rd as part of cap.

 

[DKH]

Was going to tape game and watch The Year Santa Called in Sick but if Rask is playing definitely watching. I hope Monty doesn’t keep him on the bench.

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Buffalo may be the softest team in the league. You can change the coach, players and prospects and they will always disappoint

 

[Dr Hook]

He'll be up on the 9th floor hoping and praying Linus and Bussi don't both get hurt.

 

[HumBucker]

Hopefully not "a Game which will live in infamy"

What’ll you bet Jack uses a similar reference?

 

[jmon1313]

I stand corrected.

Ebug for practice and games have different rules I'm pretty sure. You can bring in anyone you want to practice.

 

[Alicat]

Hope Sway feels better soon.

Whatever is going around is nasty. It lingers for weeks.

My niece, sister and mom are all on antibiotics for some sins/coughing thing. It is a miracle (knock on wood) that I haven't caught anything yet.

 

[HumBucker]

Chance we’ll see both Grizz and Lohrei in the lineup tonight?

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Wonder what happened to Forbort

And why no reason is being given…another fractured foot?

 

[DKH]

Swayman found out Tage Thompson back and has Buffalo flu

 

[Alicat]

And why no reason is being given…another fractured foot?

I don't think it actually healed from when he was out before.

Honestly, if it is a fractured foot, go have it surgically repaired.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

And why no reason is being given…another fractured foot?

It s a groin injury that has lingered since training camp apparently.

 

[lopey]

I see why he is on long term ir. Get it fixed now. Be ready for playoffs.

 

[Ladyfan]

Please win for my 71st.

No injuries.

Hey Steve. I hope the Bruins win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS... HERE WE GO

Yep. I've been dealing with it for two weeks now.
