Krejci cannot carry a line anymore

lol

 

[Ladyfan]

I agree! (as long as he doesn't put any of our guys through the glass)

Let's GO 's!!!

I think he has held back (in the games he has returned) from hitting his B's pals.

There are only 5 players left on the B's that he won the cup with.

I know he did not have a good year last season but Looch gave us so many good memories and left with such class. He was always nice to the old lady next to the bench. I miss him.

I expect Lucic to have a bounce back season. I don't expect a 30-30-60 season but it would be pretty surprising to me personally if he repeated last year. Especially if he was able to improve his skating. He's just such a prideful guy and still young enough to prove his worth.

Oiler fan checking in - Lucic, despite all the Oiler fans hating on him, really suffered from an unlucky year. His shot % dropped by 7% from his career average. Otherwise would have scored 20 again.
Had a great first game, I don't worry too much about him.

 

[BBB24]

You took a potential 20 goal scorer kid out who needs to learn and put a penalty killer with 2 goals in his career on the second line. Where do I sign up??

Key work is potential, to date not so much. Not sure what the issue is here, it is game four, relax, may work for a few games, may work for season or may work for the first period.

I'm just hoping McDavid doesn't make the Bruins D look like statues.

Bruins have had some trouble with the Oilers over the years, lets hope they start a new trend tonight.

We don't have anyone on the blueline that can completely keep up with him, but we do have some guys that can skate well enough to be effective- Grizz, Charlie, Moore- Carlo is a pretty fluid skater but I think a bit slower than the other three guys. It might not be so bad.

 

[The don godfather]

We fix the third line and we now bungle the second line . It's called bruins .

McDavid, Chara relish opportunity of best-on-best matchup - Sportsnet.ca

Neat article on Chara facing McDavid.

Not to get off-topic, but it's crazy to think that Chara has competed against so many different eras of generational or great players. From Wayne/Mario, to guys like Jagr/Lindros/Forsberg, to Sid/OV, and now the new breed in McDavid/Matthews/Laine.

I caught that too- pretty cool, really- he has spanned three hockey eras. And think how the game has changed since he started, too.

It's ok bruins can make Lucic look like statue.

Nordstrom on the second line? Am I watching a different Nordstrom?

I mean, yeah, sure. I guess.

 

[Sheppy]

The new Trent Whitfield.

Sounds like a hockey scoring machine name to me...maybe that's what the bruins are seeing we don't?

I too thought he had a pretty good first game. Looks a little lighter, too.

The second line has done nothing so far - why not try something different?

Blow it up.

There is trying anything different and then there is trying something different that could actually work well. Bjork would have been better in that spot IMO. Maybe move Donato down to the 3rd line swapped with Bjork so he doesn't seem as outmatched and gain maybe get some confidence back.

They want that 3rd line to keep playing together and hopefully build some chemistry

 

[bbfan419]

Putting Nordstrom into the top 6 is a Claude Julien move, sure lets sit out fast skilled young guys like Donato or not call up Cehlarik and put a 4th line plugger into the top 6. I hope Nordstrom and Acciari are long gone by Xmas.

 

[Dizzay]

Because he didn't go out and get a 2nd line RW and people clearly know how it's going to after 3 games it's all a mess and the season is basically over. Rookies aren't ready!! lmfao

Donato looked horrible in the playoffs last season, was he not healthy scratched a few games? He wasn't impressive in the pre season and has not looked good the first 3 regular season games either.
None of the 3 young center's made the team, am I correct in saying that?
Bjork has missed like 10 months of hockey and really could use some time in Providence to get accustomed again, does that qualify as not being ready?
Heinen of all the youngsters is "ready" but I don't believe he's a top 6 option.
What are you LMFAO at in all of that?

This team deserves to lose by putting Nordstrom on the second line. What a stupid move.

Don't bother watching then.

Get a damn grip.
