BRUINS GDT 10/20 - Game 8 - Boston Bruins @ Vancouver Canucks - 10pm ET - NESN, SN1, CITY, 98.5 FM

[BMC]

If he was concussed and didn't tell the trainers he wasn't feeling right, I am not very happy with him.

He's 20. He's going to do stupid things from time to time.

Put Grzelcyk-Moore together as your 2nd, Vaak-Kampfer can play like 12 minutes tops as the 3rd.

Also this team basically has two 4th lines right now, not ideal.

Damn, I was practically praying not to see Kampfor in a Bruin jersey again and now tonight..well, let's say just went down the drain..BUT excited to see Vaak..

 

[BMC]

Drop the f***ing puck already!!!!

 

[Dr Hook]

Only 3 1/2 hours or so to wait!

Hyped to see Vaakanainen play his first NHL game.

There is very little good about this situation, except that we get to see UV in NHL games in the regular season. He looked legit in the 2 preseason games I saw him play and looked awesome on the first unit PP. I'm hoping they bump Grz to PP 2 and let Urho take a spin with the big boys. I hope he takes this opportunity and runs with it.

I like Killer a lot, but if Vaak is ready to supplant him on the depth chart,
Chara - Mcavoy
Krug - Carlo
Grz - Vaak
is a hell of a line up, when all are said and healthy. No idea where Moore/Killer fit in, but that'd be a solid 3rd pairing by itself.

I don't know if I'll make it. I know I can sleep in tomorrow but still..

Yeah, although I'd rather he just make a stupid play. But who knows what the situation is. Just hope he gets better.

It would allow or force Sweeney to make a move. I think he needs to make a move anyways as we have a lot of young prospects on the brink and at the NHL level, but we still have some holes. Urho proving he can play at this level will make Sweeney feel more comfortable with moving Krug+ to bring something back and open up some spots for Urho. However, since 2 D would need to get moved for Urho to crack the lineup, most likely Urho will be down in Providence until next year when Z retires.

Watching Montreal vs Ottawa and they have guys playing like that Kotaniemi or whatever weighing like 160 lbs and its working.Boston cannot get kids like Donato or Bjork to stick here and play well.What is the issue?

Maybe he got a lay flat seat. You think they make him fly coach? Always wondered that.

Because Claude Julien is a great coach with rookies and let them develop their confidence and offensive game despite defensive shortcomings.

I don't like the Canucks very much.......and neither does Brad!

Let's Go Bruins!

Meh, I just enjoy seeing young guys getting the chance to step up. Nobody here is expecting a hat trick.

Edit: Out of curiosity I checked how long a direct flight is from the Boston area to Vancouver, around 8.5 hrs. I'd kill for those to be my durations out here.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Hope it isn't a concussion for McAvoy:

Not good news but at least this explains why Charlie hasn't looked very good lately.

I'm glad the B's are done with the damn Oilers this season.

Good to see Halak between the pipes again, and I'll bet Bjork has a good game tonight.

Great memories....I miss Timmy!

One more hour to go....it's not looking good people
