Thirteen Bruins, including both goalies, are participating in the morning skate: Tim Thomas, Manny Fernandez, Aaron Ward, Dennis Wideman, Mark Stuart, Matt Hunwick, Matt Lashoff, Blake Wheeler, Vladimir Sobotka, Shawn Thornton, David Krejci, Petteri Nokelainen, and Martin St. Pierre.

Because of the optional skate, we'll post an expected lineup after warmups tonight.

I hope Julien puts Sobotka back in the lineup tonight.

I know Noke needs a chance to play but Sobotka is always noticable on the puck and physically whereas Noke (this year at least) just has a tendancy to blend in all game long.

john, are you serious? other than axe, 6 guys werent there. why not complain about them? chara, kessel, savard, ryder, yelle, and kobasew all not there. have they been perfect? no. might they need to work on something? yes. its an OPTIONAL skate. you really think that PJ axellson, a 10 year veteran all in the bruins organization, isnt feeling the pressure to produce points as well as the other aspects of his game?
