Public Skate: Patriots Appreciation Day
Boston Bruins at Philadelphia Flyers, Jan 22, 2012 3:00 PM EST
Just 24 hours after a gut-wrenching overtime loss to the Eastern conference-leading New York Rangers, the Boston Bruins are set to hit the ice in Philadelphia to take on the Flyers in another battle of Eastern Conference elites.
While the Bruins will be without Andrew Ference, who is serving a suspension for boarding the Rangers' Ryan McDonagh, the Flyers will be without Danny Briere, who becomes the fifth center that the team has lost due to a concussion this season.
Last time Boston visited Philly, the Bruins skated to a 4-0 first period advantage and didn't look back, crushing the Flyers 6-0. This time, things will look a bit different.
Tim Thomas will be in between the pipes for Boston, but it will be Sergei Bobrovsky in goal for the Flyers after Ilya Bryzgalov backstopped the Broad Street Bullies to a 4-1 victory over New Jersey in a Saturday matinee.
Of course, the Patriots happen to kick off the AFC Championship at 3 PM as well, so there's going to be some divided attention when it comes to this game. But hey, even if you're not watching the B's, you might as well join us to hear from those who are, right?

STORY TIME. this morning at church, the little kids were drawing their favorite things in sunday school and one kid’s paper just had “SELTICS BRUINS RED SOCKS PATREITS” written on it.
i gave him a high five.
he’s my new favorite kid.
also, notice the only team spelled correctly?
yeah, we are just THAT good.
Carry On.
im in denial about ference so i'm just going to keep posting these

3 games?
Has he ever been suspended before? I know he got fined for the finger.

I don’t understand this at all, for reasons I have posted on the threads from yesterday. I feel that hits like Ference’s happen pretty often, with no suspensions handed out. If Ference had been skating slower this would not be an issue. If it was along the sideboards it would not be a big deal (think Prust hitting Chara).

excessive again I think. first time offender and was completely honest about it.

@Bears
Mr. Hanson will be replying to your comment before this day is done.

three games is excessive. two would’ve been appropriate, especially with the all-star break two games away.

from the Glass is half full department
All of these suspensions are going to keep the B’s legs fresh come playoff time.
Keep Calm and Tim Tom
Just like to reiterate: Ference suspended for longer than Raffi Torres three consecutive games of headshots (2 gamer)
Shanaban: 3 games.

not that I know of. Kelly got 5 and 2 for unsportsmanlike from what I can tell. Did see Thornton go down the tunnel. Maybe to see how Kampfer is?

im listening to the boys on the radio and they said Thornton went down the tunnel….but there is nothing for him in the penalty sheet…maybe it was equipment related

they cry about the refs, but not about the Bruins being meanies.
