1/21 - Bs vs Canucks
- Thread starter TFP
- Start date
Good news. Would be beneficial to see the whole team healthy for a few games prior to the trade deadline and get some kind of idea what they're actually capable of.
It'll be more than a few games. The trading deadline is over a month away, it's Feb 29th this year.
Just checking out the standings this morning. The Bruins are 2nd in the conference in goal differential at +20. Tied for 5th in the league with the Kings (who lead the Pacific) if I haven't missed anything or screwed this up doing it all in my head.
It's mind-blowing where they are from where I thought they would be at the beginning of the year. Claude is really good at his job.

I'm hopeful Vatrano manages to make this team out of training camp next year. Like Spooner, I think he's someone that could benefit from significantly increased playing time in a non-bottom-3 role.
Kemppainen and C. Miller the healthy scratches. Krejci and Ferraro back in.
Marchand - Bergeron - Connolly
Eriksson - Krejci - Pastrnak
Beleskey - Spooner - Hayes
Shithead - Talbot - Ferraro
Chara - Trotman
Morrow - Seidenberg
Krug - K. Miller

Vatrano has impressed me. I am fairly optimistic about his future. He's got real top 6 potential. I have him higher than Koko, and to me it's not very close.
Nice for Krejci to be back though. Let's get this thing turned up.

Agreed, especially considering a year ago he was playing college hockey. He has a bright future and has made a very positive impression on the Bruins so far. I don't see that changing, and there's no real rush with him either.
He's got an elite level shot, too.
Looking at the top 6....If we could just get Brett Connolly some GPS help to point him towards the back of the net, I think we've got something there.
As for Frank...probably best for his development to go back down. Get him some big minutes, big PP time, and scoring some goals. He does a lot of good things. Shoots the puck like a maniac. 12.53 shots/60 at ES is ridiculous, but he needs to work on his game off the puck and getting himself into better shooting areas.

Hey guys! I'm actually playing for Boston tonight, believe it or not! I'll be wearing Tuukka's #40 and playing goal!
Canucks still haven't controlled the puck inside the Bruins zone. Just that one touch by Baertschi.
Can confirm they briefly played "Great Expectations" off The '59 Sound during intermission.
First smile since Kevan's "backcheck"

If that shitty goal ends up being the difference in this one because the Bruins have gone back to neglecting to finish, I am going to be pretty unhappy.
It's not possible with 7 days between games he didn't take the charter?
I'd also love to see an ice level replay of that near high stick on the puck by Finger Muncher before the goal.
Bergeron and Tuukka are the only reason this team is even in the playoff hunt right now. What a fucking steal and feed.
If you were to list all the strengths and weaknesses for this year's Bruins team, where would you rank team defense? Would you add a "forgot to pack it at home" column?
Stupid question from someone not so informed. It looked like Talbot had carried the puck across the blue line at the same time Ferraro crossed the line. Why was that offsides (about a minute ago now)?
