BRUINS GDT 10/11 - Game 4 - Boston Bruins vs. Edmonton Oilers - 7pm ET - NESN, TVAS, SNW, SNOL, WBZ-FM 98.5

I'm scared

With Nordstrom on the second line, you damn well better be!

 

[Paddington]

Nordstrom's on the 2nd line? Whatever. There are others that I'd prefer in that spot but I'm not going to freak out just yet. If Cassidy wants to give him a game to two there, I'm fine with it. It's early in the season with a couple of new faces. Let him tinker a bit. But, if Nordstrom stinks in that spot but continues to play there......then we need to take this outside.

 

[BadBruins]

Someone in the organization must really like Nordstrom. Weird signing to begin with. Not doing themselves any favors when it comes to developing sustainable scoring depth. Might work for a game or two... Hope it does. Not sure I see the upside at this point in the season though. It's not like they are bleeding and need to plug a hole to squeak out points. This is the time where they should be experimenting with long term options.

This is Darth Sweeney do it captain needa.

Bjork will slot up into the second line by the second period.

Going to the game tonight and definitely looking forward to it. My first game in two years! The last game I went to was Marchand’s OT game winning penalty shot against Buffalo. It’ll be hard to top that.

 

[Blowfish]

Bjork will slot up into the second line by the second period.

Most likely scenario. Need some speed on that 3rd line and Nordique can fill that role nicely.

 

[Ladyfan]

Looking forward to the game.

It will be nice to see Looch.

B's 4-2

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

I see Heinen or Bjork on line 2 by the 2nd period.

ehh , im fine with trying nordstrom.. he's proved he has a high motor and willing to go get the puck at all times. could be a nice complement to debrusk, get krejci the puck and hope they can get some scoring plays out of it.. if krejci has debrusk and nordstrom both with high motors maybe it will take his off idle? its early lets try it

Why not try a better option like Bjork first? Nordstrom there just doesn't make sense when there are better options on the roster already.

 

[DrJustice]

I'll be going to this game so I'll be getting the full Nordstrom experience tonight. I'll be sure to take notes and record every shift on my phone.

In all seriousness I see Bjork as the guy who gets bumped up as probably everyone else does. That line worked at the beginning of last season.

Hoping for a good effort but very excited to see McDavid skate in-person.

 

[LouJersey]

Where did these horrible Nordstrom rumors come from?

 

[BruinDust]

What a mess this forward group is looking like.

Basically the Bergeron line and who the heck knows.

Nordstrom on a scoring line is embarrassing. That's something Julien would do. Has Donato played that bad that a guy who scored TWO goals all of last year goes from healthy scratch to the 2nd freakin' line? I guess so.

I'm all for trying this however like some have said. Most likely Bjork moves up. Perhaps his speed/forecheck will compliment Debrusk/Krejci. I'm more curious but not holding my breath. Should be interesting. If this works well this makes the bruins a very interesting inexpensive team.

 

[Orr Fourever]

Pasta with a hatty.
Bruins win 3-0.

 

[ON3M4N]

Ya I'm not going to get all fired up about Nordstrom. He could end up playing 2-3 shifts on that line before Cassidy makes a change. People get way to worked up over line numbers and whose start on which line.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

It's October, everyone will rotate with everyone at some point until they find a solid line-up.
We did not find a solid roster last year until December.

 

[Bumper]

what line are you scared to play Nordstrom against tonight? he should be fine.

 

[Blowfish]

what line are you scared to play Nordstrom against tonight? he should be fine.

He did score 10 goals for Canes 3 years ago. Assuming lower in the line up. Who the heck knows. Cool for him to have the opportunity.

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Ugh. Someone just called in sick so now I have to go into work. Which means 2 things....I won’t get home until game almost over and I’ll now be working 6 12 hour days straight as I had previously agreed to take an extra shift Tuesday. :-( Lets go Bs! Please have a nice healthy lead by time I get home from work!

 

[774EVER]

Nordstrom= the new Axelsson.

Won't be long until he gets PP time

Call out sick.
