    @NESN Hey Flynn what are your thoughts on the #Bruins new Peverly-Bergeron-Paille line? necessary shakup or unnecessary risk? #NesnLive

    Don't mind Julien shaking up lines, but not sure I like putting Paille on a scoring line. Hard worker, but struggles to finish. #NESNLive

    @NESN Do you think Caron will help if he was put in??

    Caron might help, but no guarantee. Outside 1 hot streak he didn't score a lot this year. Not sure there's anyone I'd sit for him. #NESNLive

    @NESN @douglasflynn why would the bruins want to sit 67 for 38 instead of 12? 67 has been more aggressive in puck battles... #nesnlive

    If Caron plays, he wouldn't replace Pouliot or Rolston. They've been 2 of B's best F's in series. Thornton or Paille more likely. #NESNLive

    @NESN Do you think the #Bruins need to crash Holtby more then they are now, there never seems to be traffic headed to the net?

    NESN@NESN
    Absolutely, lack of net-front presence, commitment to paying price in front has been B's biggest problem so far in series. #NESNLive

    @NESN Who do you think needs to step up for the Bruins to make another run at the cup. #NESNLive

    B's top 5 goal scorers in season have yet to get a goal in series. Seguin, Marchand, Lucic, Krejci, Bergeron need to get going. #NESNLive

    @NESN what do you think about the new lines that were used in practice? Especially marchand on 4th line

    NESN@NESN
    Don't mind Marchand on 4th line, might be wake-up call he needs. Would rather Paille went to Kelly line than w/Bergeron though. #NESNLive

    @NESN Who do you think has been the biggest disappointment thus far for the B's? Biggest surprise? Lucic/Pouliot for me.
    Fri, Apr 20 2012 13:43:01

    NESN@NESN
    Lucic has at least been physical at times. Krejci/Seguin bigger disappointments to me. Line of Kelly/Rolston/Pouliot best surprise #NESNLive

    @NESN With what Kelly's done since arriving, wearing the "A" and being PC's guy, what's the latest on a contract extension? #NESNLive
    Fri, Apr 20 2012 13:42:53

    NESN@NESN
    B's and Kelly halted talks to avoid distraction heading into POs. Will talk again after season but he will cost after big year. #NESNLive

    @NESN do you think Khudobin would do well against the caps, giving Thomas a rest?
    Fri, Apr 20 2012 13:48:18

    NESN@NESN
    Don't rest No. 1 goalies in playoffs. Thomas hasn't been problem. He's been good and B's will ride him as far as he can take them. #NESNLive

    @NESN Do u think the Bruins will make the series more physical/emotional as it heads back to Boston #NESNLive

    NESN@NESN
    They need to. Have to avoid going over line and taking too many penalties, but must play w/that edge to be at their most effective #NESNLive

    @NESN what do you think on the Bergeron call last night? Did that affect the outcome of the game?
    Fri, Apr 20 2012 13:50:50
  23. NESN
    NESN@NESN
    Thought it was weak call, but everything being called tight after Phi-Pit fiasco. Definitely had impact as Caps scored GW on PP. #NESNLive

    @NESN Was it a mistake for Bruins to not respond at all to Alzner's taunting last night? Seemed like WAS took a lot of liberties last night.
    Fri, Apr 20 2012 13:48:55

    NESN@NESN
    Alzner is not going to fight anyone, let alone Lucic. B's would have just got into more penalty trouble if tried to force issue. #NESNLive
