what the hell is going on in the non-Tuukka section of that clip?This is the kind of fire I want to see after a tough loss.

Pretty sure they were having a crazy practice encouraging them to get all of their emotions out and go over the top. Hence Tuukka's embellished tantrum, the white team's overcelebration, and then fake scrums after.what the hell is going on in the non-Tuukka section of that clip?
I hope they put Zach with Studnicka down in Providence and see what those two can build together. Their skill sets feel very complimentary.Senyshyn activated and assigned to Providence. Hope he gets another look but they don’t have a ton of flexibility at the moment.

Kuhlman has also begun skating. Cassidy said yesterday that Miller had some sort of procedure 2 weeks ago and they have no timetable for him. Feels like he could’ve played his last game as a Bruin.
Complimentary how? (not snarky - legit curious about your observations)I hope they put Zach with Studnicka down in Providence and see what those two can build together. Their skill sets feel very complimentary.
Studnicka is an excellent skater who is conscientious in the d zone and great at leading the transition into the neutral zone. He looks like he's developing into a line driver C who is elusive with the puck. He would do well with a right shot RW who can skate with him who has a good shot. I could see them working really well together.Complimentary how? (not snarky - legit curious about your observations)
I'm assuming this is about Senyshyn. He has rarely been put in a position to be set up as a pro. His 200 foot game was exceptionally raw when he started in Providence and has been slow to develop so he's traditionally played in a bottom 6 role. I don't know what his future is but he seems close to ready to play a 3rd line kind of role at the NHL level and it would be nice to see what he can do playing with a kid who is equally/close to as speedy as he is but can put him in a position to succeed offensively.His career shooting percentage is actually only 10% which is ordinary for a forward. His goal scoring hasn't translated from juniors to the professional level where he can't just skate around all the defensemen.
He can skate for sure, although I don't think he and Studnicka are going to be playing on the same line in the NHL if Studnicka's career goes the way we hope it does.
I'll trust Joey Mac, personally.McAvoy and Chara made the trip to Buffalo and showed up with the team according to CC on twitter.
Wow how does CC get that wrong? Holy crap that’s bad.
Kevin DuPont from the Globe. We nicknamed him CC for chubby chaser some years ago. One of us made fun of a shitty anthem singer, and the lady happened to be rather large. KPD registered a screen name to call us out for it. I said something to the effect of “Is KPD related to this lady, or is he just a chubby chaser”. And the rest is history.Who is CC?
And frankly at this point it should probably be retired. He's irrelevant at this point.Kevin DuPont from the Globe. We nicknamed him CC for chubby chaser some years ago.

Yeah probably. Especially since it’s been so long since it happened that it has to be explained.And frankly at this point it should probably be retired. He's irrelevant at this point.
Having a “tough guy” won’t deter the Wilsons of the league, in fact it’ll encourage them knowing that all they have to do is deliver a hard hit and they’ll get their team a power play out of it, and Oshie or Ovechkin aren’t going to drop them with anyone so it’s pointless. Sure if they could acquire a good player that also happened to hit hard on the forecheck and get to the net against big defenseman, I’d be all for it, but those guys are few and far between.It was shocking and horrifying to watch the Caps bully the B's without recourse. The blowout win may be a net loss in injuries. I agree with KP DuPont, the bruins need some muscle, will the return of Z suffice?
At this point who knows. It sounds like every time he makes progress with the knee he has a setback. It may be FUBAR at this point.Do we think Kevan Miller is ever coming back?
Well said cshea and makes sense. Miller not being available in the SCF and so far this year has been a huge loss in this area. Wagner is going to have to help out Chara with this since teams are also going to continue to manhandle Pasta going forward. And please shoot useless Ritchie to the moon.There aren’t many guys in the league that can play a power game. It’s a fools errand to search around for one, and in the end they would likely end up regretting whatever the transaction was to add a fighter/power guy. Goons are gone. The aren’t many Wilson’s.They’d need to find a 3rd Tkachuk brother or something. Z can handle it, he doesn’t have to do it much. He already fought Wilson once to calm Wilson down.
It’d be nice to have Miller but I think he is done. Fractured kneecap at the end of last season, re-fractured kneecap rehabbing in the playoffs. Late start to this year, believe he was shutdown in November and hasn’t been on the ice since. A week or two ago Cassidy casually dropped in that Miller had some kind of surgery and there was no timetable for his return.
Edit: And speaking of Frederic’s facepunching, it continues tonight

Pastrnak is an elite shooter, one of the best in the league. Marchand and Bergeron are both very good, way above league average. The shootout isn't about shooting skill, it's a very specific situation that rarely happens in a real game.I tried to ask this question the other day but somehow but it in the wrong place. With regard to shootouts and the Bruins, their three top scorers (66 goals) have a total of 1 shootout goal in 11 attempts. I was wondering if there was a site that recorded how many of a player's goals were the result of deflections, tip-ins, empty nets. Are Pastrnak, Marchand, and Bergeron good shots or are they lucky shooters? If they relay on deflections, et al., then perhaps that is why they aren't doing well in shootouts.
I know that shootouts and regulation play are different but in 13 overtimes) they have scored two goals (Krug, Krejci) and in shootouts they have scored on 16.0% of their attempts compared to the league average of 32.32%. So what is the explanation when they have the numbers 1, 14, an 21 leading goal scorers in the league?Pastrnak is an elite shooter, one of the best in the league.
