When filling in these projected lineups, I like to fill Brendan Gallagher's spot with just his surname so there's a question as to whether it's the Vancouver Giants alum or the prop comedian who is dressing for the game.
While there are some folks (mostly just Tim Wharnsby at the CBC) who believe that Carey Price needs to bounce back after his 34 save 1-0 loss in OT in Game 4, there are others who believe that He-Who-Cannot-Be-Named needs to be bounced from the line-up. I side with the latter group (surprisingly), but I'm not going to get into that aside from saying I think Therrien will again dress Mouglas Durray for Game 5. If you want that issue covered, Andrew Berkshire has done a great and thorough job of summing the issue up here.
I know I said I wouldn't get into it, but.... if you want your brain to explode go to twitter and search Weaver and that other guy. Lots of folks defending the indefensible.
Ryan White or Brandon Prust moves into the lineup in place of a scratched Daniel Briere. Bit of a head scratcher there. I tend to lean toward Ryan White getting the nod. Briere is in despite earlier reports to the contrary and twitter blowing up like mad. Briere out, Prust in.
All reports point to the Bruins icing the same lineup as Game 4 again tonight. Dennis Seidenberg, who would be a big boost to the Bruins blueline, is skating in practice and claims he could play, but there's been no official word on his return.
Puck drop is at 7 PM
