GDT: 10/4: Bye Preseason! Boston Bruins vs. Detroit Red Wings 5:30PM ET NESN,NHLN,98.5 FM

[LouisSleigher]

I wonder if they will give Pasty the 9-game look-see, and also if that might be what's holding up the offer of a contract for Gagne.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Alright. Still thinking about the trade and what they might do, but I'd really like to see this to start the year;

Lucic - Krejci - Pastrnak/Eriksson/Smith
Marchand - Bergeron - Smith/Pastrnak
Spooner - Soderberg - Fraser/Pastrnak/Eriksson
Paille - Kelly - Robins/Fraser


Give Pasta his 9 games...can even scratch him and just let him watch. Stay with team healthy as long as possible then leave and come back next year ready to rock

If they're going to do this bs with moving Boychuk and looking ahead then they need to give our youth that's ready to inject some speed into the gameplan...

 

[reffree]

Spooner possesses the quickness and creativeness you are not used to seeing on this team. It may take awhile to readjust that old familiar channel, but stay tuned. Unless, of course, you want Campbell back in a hurry.

Grabovski too, with more snarl of course ...
Can't believe Grabovski would be much loved by the fans here and he is a A+ version of Spooner. So why all the love for Spooner?

 

[Alan Ryan]

Exhibit a why you give Soderberg finishers...the man has amazing skills.

That was a great pass to Bergeron. Soderberg will excel this year. It's hard to believe he is centering the third line.

 

[reffree]

Yeah, I see no issue with Spooner being on the third line. It's not the same make-up of a line that we used to have with Kelly-Peverley, where grit or better two-way play was basically required. Soderberg is one of the most creative players on the team, and he's be better off with more creative players around him.

That being said, Clode would never let this happen.

If he can find a creative AND reliable player, of course he will gladly let it happen.

Why does Rask get a free ride? He's playing like he did in the playoffs last year, like crap. If we expect to have another great year we are going to need better goaltending than what he has provided his last games in the playoffs and how he played tonight.

Yeah, I know, it's like these games don't count or something.

Our goaltending is the one issue we do not have to worry about right now

 

[EverettMike]

I think our goaltending has hid/lessened/covered up a lot of our flaws over the last 6 or 7 years, and that we forget that.

 

[mislysBB]

If Seidenberg is going to have a down year....


Holy hell.We are going to have issues.

Get Boychuk back

I'd give him some regular season games first. And then if he is having a bad year...find a new solution. And fast.

He didn't play at his best....in a preseason game....where the majority of the team wasn't playing so hot....

Please.

 

[remer]

I don't think Eriksson is the answer for the top line. I think they moved Boychuk to allow another trade to happen. I still think that Kelly or maybe Eriksson are going to be moved yet

 

[Ladyfan]

Pastrnak has great hands but legs like Bambi. He needs to mature a bit.

He sure is fun to watch out there. I was talking to one of the guys who work for the B's and he REALLY likes Pastrnak. ...said " he is a good kid...a really good kid". He has some great moves and pays attention to the coaches.

Bergy...WOW ...

Spooner has some nice moves.

Kelly needs to be more careful and stay out of the box. He earned those calls.

The coach was pissed off at the refs. He doesn't get that angry often.

Poor Smith...handed a tooth to Matty to hold on to for him.

I hope DK will be OK.

Because on the list of things to be concerned with goaltending is lower than whale ****.

the thing that you "think" is the the thing that i hope. except, i like eriksson, and would like to give him another season here.

 

[Ladyfan]

There was a lady who was celebrating her 100th birthday at the game.

She was cute. They showed her a couple of times.

 

[TheBigBadB]

That was a great pass to Bergeron. Soderberg will excel this year. It's hard to believe he is centering the third line.

Don't worry he will be gone next season and Kelly will be back as third line center

 

[HumBucker]

You mean there's even more stuff we coulda been *****ing about, but we didn't notice?

 

[northeastern]

Pasternak made a bad pass in the third I think and after the play went to the bench and chara talked to him for maybe 5 min. Nice to see Z taking to the kid


Any word on dk?

David Krejci had something "very, very minor," Claude Julien said. Will go on the trip.

 

[BadBruins]

Eriksson has to move his ****ing feet. Too often he's caught coasting and leaning. I know he's still defensively smart and reliable, but that makes me question the kind of shape he's in. He's 28 years old. The same as Bergeron, Krejci, Soderberg. Doesn't come close to resembling an athlete in his prime. Looks more like a cross between a mid-30's Glen Murray and PJ Axelsson.

Hamilton was great again. So smooth.

Bergeron, Marchand, Smith is the top line IMO. That trio will score 80+.

 

[Joe Zanussi]

The remodeling of the Loge looks really good. Nice signage and new vendors. Very nice.

Agreed. Either let the youth in or stop ****ing around Chia.

 

[KrejciMVP]

I like how the new Czech kid plays. My first impression is he reminds me of a cross bt a young Patrick Kane and Daniel Alfredson.

 

[Ladyfan]

I was at the game and watched a bit of the B's in 2 once I got home...Where was Jack Edwards?
