GDT: 10/8: Starting Fresh Boston Bruins vs. Philadelphia Flyers 7:30pm ET NBCSN, 98.5 FM

[Mr. Make-Believe]

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.

McQuaid and Miller are not any more the same player than Boychuk and McQuaid are.

Not a good look Raffl.

A face even a mother would punch.

Not a good look Raffl.

Every time I hear his name, I think of waffles and then I get hungry.

Does Bart play right side?

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

I think he can. IIRC they tried both him and Krug on the right for a couple games last year.

Seids is the only one I'd feel comfortable with on the right though.

I think of rafflcopterz. And I want to slam my hand in a closet door.

Are these guys playing?

Lucic, Fraser, Marchand

Hamilton making bad passes.

Spooner playing both ends

Love to see Paille moved up the line-up.

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

What do you want him to play 16-18 minutes a night?

It is a 1-0 game on opening night, if he gets out in the 22-23 minute range that is a significant drop in time on ice. He hasn't been below 24:30 average TOI in more than a decade

Marchand looks fine. Lucic and Fraser have deffinitely been invisible though.
