PMac confirms Lehner starts, Latendresse in.

I don't buy that line of thinking. If he's ready to play, he plays. If he's not, he doesn't. I don't think they'd rest him vs one team over another... he's not wired that way.

I don't think he is near ready based on what they say that he has been eating basically mush and has lost a lot of weight...

They can win without him... especially because the Sens don't have, nor will have, Spezza.

You can get mush that is very nutritious and full of calories. I seriously doubt that he would have lost a lot of weight. They have the resources and personnel to do pretty much anything they want, including hooking players up to an IV in-between periods. Nutritious shakes would be easy.

That said, he has missed a lot of on-ice time and certainly won't be 100% (just look at Karlsson).

BooBoo: MacLean says he hasn't decided who is out.

Odd. Kassian?

Bruce Garrioch seems to think the game won't start on time.

I hope the ice is good.. we don't want any groin injuries or worse..

So does that mean that we *weren't* icing the best lineup on Saturday?

I would still rest some players. O'Brien, Wiercioch, Latendresse in. Kassian, Smith, Gonchar out.

Via Mendes: Bruins, Jagr (flu) and Horton (injury) won't play tonight vs BOS.

Is Daug suiting up for the B's?

Sounds like the ice is looking ok... as always, BooBoo don't know Dung.

Rask goes for the B's.

Yep. He was referencing someone else... but it was his.

Looks like Kassian is out.

Via the Bruins twitter:

In warm-up rushes, looks like Daugavins up w/ Lucic-Krejci, Marchand-Bergeron-Seguin, Soderberg-Kelly-Peverley, Paille-Campbell-Thornton^CS

Defensive pairings in warm-ups: Chara-Seidenberg, Ference-Boychuk, Redden-McQuaid ^CS

Lucic-Krejci-Daugavins

The Bob Cole in Hell line. All those Eastern-European names.
