[GlenFeatherstone]

Great win. We can go 3 for 4 this week before Christmas that would be huge. One down.

 

[missingchicklet]

Not even halfway through the season. Imagine what this team will look like by the playoffs if the kids keep improving at this rate.

 

[Healthy Wrap]

This team is just so much fun to watch. Kids are stepping up big time

 

[BruinLVGA]

This is by far the most entertaining game by the Bruins this year. And the kids... Wow.

 

[cat400]

Finally the team gets to have a fun game at Tort's expense.
The puck movement tonight was exceptional.
The rookies are maturing very fast.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

A fantastic effort, speed, grit and skill all on display tonight. Love the newly formed Spooner, Debrusk and Bjork line, talk about turbo speed, McAvoy a stud on D, great night all around.

 

[UConn126]

Missed the game, but that was an exciting box score to read!

Why no Krejci?

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Great win! That was fun, 6 asst 3 goals for rookie's?

 

[toasterjam]

that was so much fun.

McAvoy is an absolute stud...scores clutch goals, feisty, hits, fights, exciting...he really is the total package, cant even believe he is this good as a rookie.

Heinen and Debrusk are perfect examples of guys who used their time in Providence to really develop their game and the patience of it too, it has officially paid off...these guys are really having a great coming out party.

Not to be forgotten is Bjork who I dont think has been as amazing as he was pre-injury, but I dont think he has played bad at all really.

Carlo isnt perfect but I think he will figure it out, I just love his skill set and he is still so young. He is gonna have his up and down patches but he just needs this experience, he still makes mistakes, he is slowly getting more physical, saw him get physical in front of the net a little more...has to work on that and some of the plays he makes. I think he'll be just fine though. Good plus 3 tonight.

Very impressed with Grzelcyk...he is maybe figuring out what his niche can be and how he can utilize his skating, puck handling and passing more to compensate for his smaller size. He does have an alright shot too...has gotten blocked or wide a bunch so far in NHL but..every so often they get through and create good rebounds. Overall gotta be happy with what he has brought. Keep it up.

a quick add on...loved Backes and Spooners game tonight.

Games like this make me want to keep Spooner around. Give me him and that skillset...and his flaws...over a Riley Nash, Tim Schaller, Beleskey, Kemp, Talbot etc etc...I mean I do understand the need for defensive/pkers too...but I really wouldnt mind trying to make room to keep Spooner around. The speed, playmaking...when he is engaged and on his game, it looks so good.

 

[TCB]

What a game!!!
The rooks steal the show and Pasta and Marchy extend their streaks.

 

[Don Cherry]

This team is just so much fun to watch. Kids are stepping up big time

Agreed. McAvoy, Heinen and Debrusk are great. Bjork is the stinkaroo of the young kids.

 

[pgm16]

Win the ganes that you have in hand, this team plays hard most nights. I like their work ethic & they are having fun out there it seems.

 

[cobrak]

Can they just award the Calder to "the Bruins Rookies" I don't want to pick just one favorite

 

[Emerz]

Past 3 games we've outshot the Caps, Rangers and Blue Jackets 118-65.

This is a good team that will win a lot of games this season, no doubt about it.

Heinen is slowly creeping up to nearly PPG status, just amazing...

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Love the kids

 

[bobbyorr04]

Why no Krejci?

 

[jdz]

Heinen and Debrusk....wow.

Celtics and Bruins building two great young rosters at the same time.

 

[TCB]

Can they just award the Calder to "the Bruins Rookies" I don't want to pick just one favorite

Thats a great idea and at this point in the season well earned!

 

[bobbyorr04]

Agreed. McAvoy, Heinen and Debrusk are great. Bjork is the stinkaroo of the young kids.

Patience!

 

[BadBruins]

Although the goal by DeBrusk was largely irrelevant, the finish was something else.

When you look at the 2014 draft class, Heinen's 21 points in 27 games this year puts him in pretty great/elite territory. Eating crow on that one for sure.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Dominant performance, even before garbage time. Completely took the compete out of the Jackets.

 

[Bruinaura]

Waiting for Tortorella to speak... Make an appearance... Peel the paint off the walls.... Whatever....

 

[PB37]

For my money, Heinen was the best Bruins forward tonight. The kid was superb in all three zones. The kid looked like Mark Stone out there with the way he was stripping players of the puck and calmly winning puck battles.

 

[Sevren]

Agreed. McAvoy, Heinen and Debrusk are great. Bjork is the stinkaroo of the young kids.

Good call on Debrusk in page 2 of the GDT
