Where are you seeing Faksa out? Stars board shows him on a line in practice?

 

[NDiesel]

I hate daylight savings.

He is past his prime already. Time flies. At the end of the day Reilly Smith for seguin wasn’t even that bad when you look at both their careers.

I weirdly always feel much more well rested when we set the clock back in fall time...always sucks getting off work basically in the dark for a few months though.

Always love watching Robertson and Hintz play...hopefully we shut them down and take a win with this thrown together D corps.

Stars have only 3 forward lines?
Edit: nvm.

Saw it just before you posted it.

Ok I just found that on the NHL app Bruins, that's all.

Nice of KPD to wake up



Swayman is in net

It is all good. When no one bothers to cover morning skate, guesses have to be made

The NHLOL too busy to do a meeting sooner? Ridiculous. They can pass judgement within hours of an infraction but it's too much to expect several days after? Okay.

Wonder if it's just a $ thing and he's trying not to forfeit his 4 games pay? Not sure how that stuff works, but maybe people here do.

 

[Sheppy]

He won't win the appeal anyway, really.

Although, we just saw a blatant crosscheck to the neck get 1 game, so maybe he uses that as ammo.

 

[lopey]

Watch out gor Roope Hintz! Love the name. My next dog will be named Roope lol

I would guess that the NHL delays the hearing as long as possible so it will basically make little difference in the end. I don't recall any suspensions being changed other than Torres which was from 25 to 21 games. Maybe there have been more but the ones I do remember were not reduced.

This is a waste of time, no way Bettman reduces the suspension.
Hope CM learns from this as this is the kind of hitting the NHL is trying to get rid of.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

I was at the game. Lots of cheap stuff went on that day

Still, no reason to kick the crap out of a 21 year-old kid who didn't really do anything.

He paid the Steve Ott/Sean Avery debt. Sucks for him, but if his teammates weren't being f*** heads, he's not getting filled in.

 

[RI.B FAN]

This may be a chalenge, I'm anxious to see what they come out with after a loss. Swayman could be in breakout mode.

 

[rocketdan9]

Anyone know why Zboril hasn't got a chance yet?
Tbh I rather see Zboril than Mitchell. Mitchell hasn't been good at the D end.

$400,000 difference which they dont have. As well as usually its between GM and Prov staff as to who deserves time up.

I don't think management rate him, and really at this point if Zboril wants to see any consistent NHL action he'd be best served trying to get traded to another team. He's been jumped in the queue by Lohrei and when even Mitchell is preferred to you that's probably when you should see the writing on the wall. I still think Little Z can be a serviceable enough 6/7D, but not in Boston.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Just your friendly reminder for the day that Connor Bedard and Matthew Poitras are tied in Points.

A rather strong argument to drop a game.


Lucic missing this many games is a shame.

With all due respect, this sounds like something Dave Lewis would tell his Bruins team. Avery and Ott were running around all game and up until Ference rocked Ott open-ice, neither were answering the bell for their shenanigans; Jack gave Ott the sarcastic moniker "Brave Steve" that game. Hnidy's response was typical of the 2008-09 Bruins team and it was why they were so tough to play against. Same can be said about the 2011 team which didn't have the most talented roster of that season.
