https://www.nhl.com/news/game-1-of-bruins-hurricanes-rescheduled-o-wednesday/c-318406118

I’m wondering how long did the NHL wait to tell the two Teams about moving the Game to today?
The Game is at 11 AM.
This seems Early, why not 13:00?
Wondering what Players will do Pregame for this early Start (like a Meal)?

Marc Bergevin's statement regarding Claude Julien
The Canadiens head coach experienced chest pains during the night and was taken to the hospital...

TORONTO -- Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin announced on Thursday that head coach Claude Julien experienced chest pain during the night on Wednesday and was taken to a Toronto hospital for further testing.
Read below for Bergevin's statement regarding Julien's condition.
"Good afternoon. I'm here to inform you of the reason Claude Julien was not here this morning at practice. Claude experienced chest pain during the night. We immediately consulted our doctors and it was agreed to transfer him to the hospital by ambulance. He's presently there and he's undergoing tests to determine the exact nature of his condition. This has nothing to do with COVID.
We don't expect him to be back during this series against the Flyers. Kirk [Muller], Dominique [Ducharme], and Luke [Richardson] will share the responsibility, however, Kirk is the associate head coach and he will assume the responsibility of head coach until Claude's return.....


Yes, I can see How the Canadiens would give someone Chest Pains.
Will this motivate the Canadians, or will they not make it out of the First Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs vs the Flyers?

"David Pastrnak will be a game-time decision for the Boston Bruins against the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference First Round at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on Saturday.
The forward was unfit to play in Game 2, which Boston lost 3-2 on Thursday. Pastrnak did not participate in an optional practice Friday, Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said.
As part of the NHL Return to Play Plan, a team is not permitted to disclose player injury or illness information.

Hey Robert 21.....what's the problem with RASK???......do you really believe qu'il a choisi la famille???


Rask opts out of Stanley Cup Playoffs with Bruins
Goalie cites desire to be with family, leaves hub city in Toronto
https://www.nhl.com/news/tuukka-rask-opts-out-of-postseason/c-318514766

"Tuukka Rask has opted out and will not play for the Boston Bruins for the remainder of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The goalie's decision was announced Saturday less than two hours before the Bruins played the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference First Round at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, the hub city for the East. Boston, with goalie Jaroslav Halak, won 3-1 and leads the best-of-7 series 2-1.

"I want to be with my team competing, but at this moment there are things more important than hockey in my life, and that is being with my family," Rask said. "I want to thank the Bruins and my teammates for their support and wish them the best.".....


Yes, when I heard this News just before Game 3, I was like are YOU KIDDING ME!
Especially from Rask's Post Game 2 comments the other Day ...



“You’re trying to play as hard as you can,” he said. “Obviously, you’re playing a best-of-seven series so there’s going to be some battles going on and whatnot. But when you play at your home rink, you play at an away rink, and there are fans cheering for you or against you, and that creates another buzz around the series.
“There’s none of that, so it just feels dull at times. There are moments that, OK, there are little scrums and whatnot. But then there might be five minutes, and it’s just coas-to-coast hockey and there is no atmosphere. It just feels like an exhibition game.”
https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-bruins/2020/08/14/tuukka-rask-playoff-atmosphere-comments



With COVID, we ALL have to make tough Decisions....
Stay Home (in My Bubble)...Go Out....Go Visit Family & Friends (?)....

IT sounds like Rask picked His Health & Family over Hockey.
GOOD for Him....


Rask opting out doesn't change Bruins' goal to go deep in Playoffs
Ride new No. 1 goalie Halak to defeat Hurricanes in Game 3 of Eastern First Round
https://www.nhl.com/news/boston-bruins-move-forward-without-tuukka-rask/c-318527178

"The Boston Bruins were set depart from Hotel X to Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on Saturday when they heard that goalie Tuukka Rask had decided to opt out of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

He would not start for them against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday, he would not play for them again in the playoffs this season.

Still, so much remained the same: the plan against the Hurricanes, the goal to win a Stanley Cup, the immediate needs for a noon start in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference First Round against Carolina.

Most everything, other than the name on the back of the starting goalie's jersey: Jaroslav Halak, instead of Rask.

"The message -- we're not going to change the way we play, no matter who's in nets," coach Bruce Cassidy said. "We've proven that with Jaro here for the last two years and now the playoffs. We know he's a capable goaltender. The only issue for us is, Jaro hasn't played a lot. So you want to make sure you allow him a reasonable time to get back into game mode. So that was the message."....


YES, the Show must go On....
Halak played ok (IMHO).... Saved 29 out of 30 Shots...
https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/bos-...e_state=final,lock_state=final,game_tab=stats


He did have the one miscue (Only Goal by CAR)...CAR on the Power Play. Halak went behind His Net to clear the Puck, and He passed it right to CAR #21 Nino Niederreiter ("Gift Wrapped") who Scored Unassisted (unless you count Halak) with 13:30 left in the 3rd Period BOS 2 CAR 1
https://www.nhl.com/video/niederreiter-nets-ppg-on-turnover/t-318385218/c-5404243

He is (was) the backup Goalie.....The Bruins are Up in the Series 2-1.


The below Link says "Veteran Jaroslav Halak got the win Saturday in Game 3 of Boston’s first-round series against the Carolina Hurricanes, with 22-year-old Dan Vladar the backup. Max Lagace did not dress..."
https://www.boston.com/sports/bosto...oslav Halak got the,old Dan Vladar the backup.

GOOD for Him....

I am NOT buying this. He woke up the day after game 2 and suddenly decided his family is more important than hockey? But in games 1 and 2, hockey were more important than family? There is something not being reported.

Forward unfit past two, could help Boston try to extend lead in Eastern First Round
https://www.nhl.com/news/boston-bruins-david-pastrnak-status-update/c-318546124

"David Pastrnak could return for the Boston Bruins against the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference First Round at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on Monday (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, SN, TVAS, FS-CR, NESN).
The forward was on the ice for part of the Bruins' optional practice Sunday after being ruled unfit to play the past two games of the best-of-7 series, which Boston leads 2-1. As part of the NHL Return to Play Plan, a team is not permitted to disclose player injury or illness information.
"[Pastrnak] skated today briefly," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said. "He did some work after in the gym, so that's encouraging. He's got his skates on out there.
"How does that bode for tomorrow? Not sure yet. Probably a little premature. Let's see how he does in the morning. So I'd put him at, let's say 50-50 at best right now. Of course, that could change over 24 hours.".....

So, 50-50 for Pasta to Play tonight (Game Time 20:00)....I say Yes, He will play tonight...


Let’s Go BRUINS.

David Pastrnak will be a game-time decision for the Boston Bruins, who can eliminate the Carolina Hurricanes from the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a win in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference First Round at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on Wednesday.
The forward, who has missed the past three games, practiced Tuesday. As part of the NHL Return to Play Plan, a team is not permitted to disclose player injury or illness information.
"The other day, we thought he had an outside chance," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said. "Now I'd give it better than that. We'll have to make a decision in the morning...."
