Caron would be giving us so much more than Robbins and Cunningham

So much more what ??

 

[missingchicklet]

Glad the period ended when it did. Bs were looking a bit gassed.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Not a very good 2nd. Too many careless turnovers.

 

[Bridges31]

Terrible 2nd period by the Bruins. Hoping they can bounce back and play a strong 3rd.

 

[Ten Thousand Hours]

Lines are officially all jumbled up.

Nothing permanent or consistent I don't think. Just giving Lucic a chance to play with better players and mixing and matching as a result.

We also gave Lucic a shift with Bergeron at the end of the first.

 

[Fossy21]

So much more what ??

He must've meant giving up.

 

[HumBucker]

After a bad start to the period, not a bad period for the B's.

The Bergy line has such great chemistry. It's like they're in mid-season form.

Yeti and Kelly solid.

 

[Ten Thousand Hours]

So much more what ??

To complain about.

 

[A Healthy Kelly*]

rinaldo looks like the type of guy that would send food back at a restaurant twice

 

[whatsbruin]

Chara on course for 22 to 23 min toi.
Guess his minutes won't be going down this year.

 

[Neely08]

Anyone think Paille would be a better fit with Yeti and Loui than Kelly?

They tried it briefly last year. Didn't jive, but in Paille's defense, he was also dealing w/ concussions.

I'm all for giving Paille a chance to have a bigger role. Especially w/ his speed. But, I'm in the minority.

 

[2KA]

So much more what ??

hate on HF

It doesn't matter when it comes to charging or boarding.

Dude, it DOES matter, he turned his skates, braking and thus was not striding into the hit...so, no charge should have been called. If it was a board, that's another matter entirely.

You can't be serious...seriously, I can't believe you are actually serious.

Secondly, I love that Claude is jumbling up the lines. Truthfully, I'm sure that will last a five game maximum before he sets them and refuses to alter them no matter what...but I like the experimentation right now.

Overall, I am happy with this game. I hate that it's 1-0, given the Flyers have been outplayed by a pretty good margin, but that happens. Just keep going at them in the third...don't fall into a shell in the third in the first game of the year.

 

[Trap Jesus]

The Bergy line has such great chemistry. It's like they're in mid-season form.

I really think they're going to have to carry this team in the early part of the season with Lucic/Krejci getting better acclimated to whoever ends up on the other wing, along with coming back from injuries.

This definitely isn't the start I'd like to see from the defense after trading Boychuk. That was just a comedy of errors for Seidenberg in the 2nd after Hamilton looked awful in the 1st.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

To complain about.

Boom!

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

To complain about.

You are correct, sir!

Robins is a monster. He belongs. All energy.

 

[Minny Shinny]

Robins/L. Schenn

 

[BadBruins]

Looks like different pairings for 2nd. Siedenberg-Hamilton looked pretty good together. McQuaid and Chara seriously lacking footspeed. A little too much Bambi on ice for my liking. Bartkowski is getting into the rotation sooner or later. McQuaid/Miller are the same player. Been saying it all along. Only need one.

Soderberg is incredible. With his 2nd half + playoffs last year, I'm close to putting him in that core group of forwards with Bergeron, Lucic, Krejci, Marchand. He's gained a couple steps over the summer. Looks confident as well.

 

[Bad Puck Bounce]

Not a good look Raffl.

 

[CrownofThornton]

Boy I really hope we extend Yeti's contract at some point this season.

 

[TCL40]

Does Bart play right side?

I can see a situation where they might use Bart with Chara and keep Seids and Dougie together.

What worries me is that there is no true top tier player to play with Lucic and Krejci. Can't be a game of musical chairs when it comes to a top line especially on a Cup contender. Chemistry must be established early and carry though to the playoffs.

Bergy line can't be broken up and it appears Louie / Soda works. Although I like the kids, asking them to produce on a top line is unrealistic. No?
