GDT: 10/8 2015-16 Opening Night Boston Bruins vs. Winnipeg Jets - 7PM ET NESN 98.5 FM TSN3

Let's take another look at the Claude Julien soap opera:

TOI:
David Krejci - 13:24
Ryan Spooner - 12:04
Brett Connolly - 11:43
Matt Beleskey - 9:57
Brad Marchand - 9:40
David Pastrnak - 9:40
Jimmy Hayes - 9:39
Loui Eriksson - 9:11
Joonas Kemppainen - 8:45
Patrice Bergeron - 8:01
Zac Rinaldo - 7:45
Chris Kelly - 7:17

I'll just let that sink in.

Good work watching the box score. He has been off into the locker room and in the penalty box though sooooo

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Irwin should be put on waivers tomorrow.

Agreed, he should be sent to the pressbox between periods and not let out on the ice for the 3rd. He was terrible all preseason, and is a trainwreck out there tonight.

Personally I think Trotman isn't that bad, but put him with this clown and he looks worse than he is

 

[Hali33]

This is the reality of icing this defense. Irwin is obviously having a terrible game but there's going to be a fair amount of ugly while they figure it out. Can't tear them apart, this is what we chose to do.

Forwards need a lot more urgency in finishing their chances. There will be no holding it to 1 or 2 goals for a while. Those missed chances look big now.

 

[Fossy21]

Look at it on the bright side... On pace for Auston Matthews

Patrice Bergeron - 8:01
Zac Rinaldo - 7:45
Chris Kelly - 7:17

I'll just let that sink in.

He was in the box for 2mins too though, gotta factor that in. Missed being on the PP

 

[Replicator]

Note to self: buy hard stuff for Saturday night.

The wife made a pitcher of Margaritas.
It ain't helping much.

 

[ashnathan]

Captain Neely, oh captain my captain What id give for prime Neely in this era, fuarrrrrk.

 

[BB88]

3-1 is not that bad considering what I saw that period.

Where this team would be without Rask, it doesn't matter how many highlight saves he makes, he doesn't have a chance.

6 3rd pairing D's on ice

But Lou is looking strong and Pasta is a beauty.

 

[DitClapper]

I think the offense is there.
If it wasn't for brain dead mistakes, this game is still tied.

 

[RedBruin]

Well at least there's no relegation in the NHL.

 

[Andrew83]

Game is literally exactly how I pictured it was going to be. All you goofs that thought Trotman is an NHL player need to wake up. I've been saying it for months the guy is no good. To think a huge majority of you had him penciled in as Chara's partner.

If Trotman is playing with Chara, some of his mistakes will get covered up. Not the case alongside Irwin.

 

[Emerz]

I'm surprised at the amount of people who expected anything more than exactly what this on ice product is right now...

We aren't going to win many games this year with the team as constructed, just look at the defense.

Would've been nice to pop an extra goal or 2 in the first, but lack of finish strikes again.

 

[323 Krejci 7]

Jesus irwin was bad that period. Pocket completely picked on that second goal....then floating around the dot on that third goal while two guys were in front of the net

 

[Alicat]

Let's take another look at the Claude Julien soap opera:

TOI:
David Krejci - 13:24
Ryan Spooner - 12:04
Brett Connolly - 11:43

Brad Marchand - 9:40
David Pastrnak - 9:40
Jimmy Hayes - 9:39
Loui Eriksson - 9:11
Joonas Kemppainen - 8:45
Patrice Bergeron - 8:01
Zac Rinaldo - 7:45
Chris Kelly - 7:17

I'll just let that sink in.

That's what happens when you end up in the box for a cross check.

 

[compan]

Pasta has impressed me so far...on the bright side, I guess.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

So Irwin, who got embarrassed badly on two goals, was the better choice over C Miller Claude?

Can't play 4 right-handed D men.

 

[GloveSave1]

How about get a little angry?

I held myself back from saying that last year...it just wasn't in them.

It's a new year. Have a go.

Hit. Get the feet moving. Good things will result.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

I don't want to watch a " bridge year" or a "rebuilding year" ... I want 2011 and 2013 .This will be terrible to watch.

 

[PIMsCup]

I'm seeing the wingers standing high in the D-zone waiting to get sprung.

 

[Gee Wally]

Keep in mind he missed a few shifts 1st period

Good work watching the box score. He has been off into the locker room and in the penalty box though sooooo

You guys were paying attention.

Box scores dont ever tell a whole story.

 

[cska78]

bridge season! Irwin and Trotman looking good on the way to lottery pick

 

[JCRO]

At the game... Irwin should be the first man out when Chara comes back. All I have to say.

Pasta and Connolly both impressing.

Hayes has Paille hands

 

[7bostonhockey*]

Some Of You ARe Cuckoo If You Think It's Going To Get Better When CMiller plays.


Irwin shold never play again though

 

[DKH]

Love the early season hate on HF

 

[kytem2]

This Centre Ice preview is great though...by October 27th, it should be clear if this team is worth watching at all.
