If they break up this line when Bergeron returns, Julien dies.

Marchand/Backes/Pastrnak
Beleskey/Bergeron/Hayes
Spooner/Krejci/Heinen
Moore/Czarnik/Acciari

When Vatrano comes back, put him with Krejci, Moore goes to the 9th floor.
Uck, I don't want Hayes on the second line. They were willing to put Backes om the wing, why not put Krejci on Bergy's wing. Its been done in the past.

Marchy/Backes/Pasta
Beleskey/Bergeron/Krejci
Spooner/Czarnik/Heinen
Hayes/Moore/Acciari

When Vatrano comes back he slots into LW on line 3, Spooner goes to 4 and can either play LW or center with Moore at LW and sit Hayes.

Shitty start, but the Bruins turned it around. I think CBJ came out fired up, just had to withstand the initial rush and they ran out if gas.

Good start to the season. Impressed with Carlo.

Marchand was ok.

Nothing I've seen on this forum in years has demonstrated the reactionary nature of this board quite the way people are insistent that a successful partnership of 6 seasons (and international competitions) be broken up based upon a one game sample. Never change guys.

The Bruins attempted 60 shots last night and Marchand was on the ice for 31 of them. That is absurd.

Some other numbers...

Brandon Carlo- 17:48 TOI, 4 shots, 64% CF. I thought he started shaky but settled in nicely. Made a mistake on 2 of the 3 GA, but that is to be expected.

Colin Miller- 20:57 TOI, 2:29 PK TO- Led the team in PK TOI, 3rd overall behind Chara and Liles. Interesting usage there. In 42 games last season, Miller had a total of 2:19 in short handed time. More trust from Julien?

At least initially, it seems more a function of McQuaid and Miller being out but I liked what I saw from him from most of the night. Looked very able with the puck on his stick and had a few nice rushes including one very nice dangle.
