GDT: 10/8 2015-16 Opening Night Boston Bruins vs. Winnipeg Jets - II

[sarge88]

irwin and Trotman as a pair are abysmal.

First of all, why dress either? Second of all, why pair them?

Just sickening to watch them play.

 

[Bad Puck Bounce]

Would rather have Chrychun. Let's be real. Arizona is getting the #1 pick regardless.

I'd take either.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

I have yet to see Trottman play a game, where I have said, Wow, this guy could be a decent NHLer. He can't be a top 6 guy in your lineup and expect to be successful. Same with Irwin from what I saw of him tonight. Take away the blown coverages and give aways from these two and give us just one or two goals on all the glorious opportunities we had and it is a completely different outcome. Not a great first night for sure but I'm going to wait and see what happens with Chara and C Miller in the lineup Saturday night. Beating the other goalie won't be any easier Saturday Night though.

So you think its a given that Irwin & Trotman don't dress against Montreal?

 

[Odie]

I was not impressed with Connolly, Hayes, Eriksson, Spooner or really anyone not on the 1st or 4th line (except Kelly, 0 shots and 0 hits, dude?). Irwin is not an NHL player.

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

I will be so happy if Irwin never touches the ice in a Bruins jersey again

If Chara and Miller play Saturday we could be significantly better .

What is the probability of this?

There's like 3 guys in Providence I'd rather see than him right now.

Theres a reason he couldn't get regular time on a poor SJS sharks team, last season.

 

[bp13]

Let's talk Matt Irwin. I'll start.


He stunk.

Who are the 6 D in Providence right now ?

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

What is the probability of this?

If Chara is back, hopefully very probable.

I thought Connolly played pretty well.

I had work issue so i couldn't watch tonight.

How did the 4th line look? More specifically Rinaldo and Kemp

Also, expecting too much from Kelly. As long as he had a good stick in the neutral zone, and was a good presence on the ice/bench/lockerroom that's all that matters.

 

[Bad Puck Bounce]

Chara and C. Miller are a significant upgrade over Irwin and Trotman but it's still going to be a long season. Lots of growing pains.

 

[Patrice Krejci*]

Anyone else notice that after Pasta and Spooner our team has no creative players in the offensive zone?

 

[CDJ]

Don't have a problem with Trotman.


Thought Irwin was very bad and I hope we see Colin Miller soon.


At least they looked good in the first period. :|

 

[Mione134]

I heard that Pasta wasn't on any of our pp units.

Clode is already doing the most.

 

[BigBadBruins63*]

Who are the 6 D in Providence right now ?

Cross, Casto, Iafrate, Simonelli are the 4 i can name.

 

[sarge88]

If Chara and Miller play Saturday we could be significantly better .

If you and I play Saturday night over them we could be significantly better.

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

Arnesson, Breen

 

[KrazyLegs]

The 2015 Bruins. Now softer than before.

 

[BruinDust]

That's why I think Claude should get a free pass until we have a legitimate D core again.

Hard to blame Claude on this one.

I think he didn't want to throw C.Miller into his first NHL game without Chara after pairing them up in practice for the last few days.

Get him and Chara back into the line-up, get Trotman and Irwin out, and reduce the minutes of the other 4 remaining D and it should be better.

 

[BruinDust]

Clode is already doing the most.

I can't see that lasting very long. Claude is stubborn but he's not stupid.

The only difference between the two was that Trotmans turnovers didn't end up in the net, unlike Irwins.

He was awful. Out of position, floating, just lost.

No hockey sense at all!

The sooner he's sent to Providence the better.
