Boston Bruins 2021 Training Camp II

[NDiesel]

For some reason that is so satisfying to watch....I can't stop.

Looks like Yandle is available, Bruins should look at the nhl iron man, average 50 pts per years last 4-5 seasons...Experience and offensive

and expensive.

 

[PlayMakers]

Who is second defense pair on the PK?

Cassidy said PK will be a combination of Carlo, Gryz, Miler and Lauzon. Said Lauzon "has to kill penalties if he's gong to play there." Also said he'd like to rest McAvoy a bit on PK's so they don't wear him out.

 

[Gordoff]

As I posted earlier, this was expected

About Dang Time!

I'm guessing you haven't looked at his contract lol

Loved that show! Too funny.

Not to sidetrack this thread but some of the shows I used to find hilarious I see today and say WTF ? Cant' figure out why I thought that (they were funny)! That being said I think that I would still find Taxi hilarious. A good comedic show makes me think that each character reminds me of certain friends and family.... Like for instance Seinfeld. Kramer reminds me of 2 people in my circle of family/friends. Same for the rest of the cast. Elaine's temper and looks used to remind everyone who knew her, of my ex-wife LOL.

And that his teams seem to never make the playoffs (I know he's been in the playoffs, just not that much).

I don't get this mentality. So Gryz will be 2nd pair, on the PK, and on the 1st unit PP. Meanwhile your No.1 D-man in McAvoy won't kill penalties and is 2nd unit PP (which gets roughly 35% of the PP time after Unit 1).

To me, it makes more sense to have either McAvoy killing penalties and on PP 2, or have him on PP 1 if he's not on the PK.

Me, I'd have him on PP 1 and kill penalties. He's suppose to be a top end No.1 D-man for a reason. I'd be hitching my wagon to that horse if I'm Cassidy. Why reduce your No.1 D-man (by far IMO) to basically only even strength play?

McAvoy will get more 5 on 5 time

How has Stud been looking on the top line?

We'll find out starting tomorrow night

I'm calling for an Offside review.

No kidding, I used to love The Carol Burnett Show now I watch and it's WTF? This is not even remotely funny .

Normally I would agree, but this year with the condensed schedule and all, keeping on eye on Mac's ice time may be the way to go . Just imagine if Mac get's injured ...................we're f***ed.

That'll improve once Lindholm is claimed on waivers

I still enjoy that on rerun but I hate that they cut down each show. Also, although I understand why she "pulled her ear to signal to her kids" and the Tarzan Call that she did was repetitious and goofballish... Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence, Lyle Waggoner, and Harvey Korman were incredibly talented.
"As The Stomach Turns" is/was classic TV!

I hope so. Not a bad guy just Waaaaaay too vanilla. Does nothing wrong, does nothing that stands out either. Basic place-holder JAG.

 

[Kosi]

Do you feel the bruins have enough SNARL?

Sounds like a player C.Julien loves

If McAvoy goes down for any extended period, it will be hard to overcome.

I've said before I'm not a fan of Gryz on PP Unit 1. I don't think he has the offensive chops to succeed in that role, especially given how reliant the Bruins are on the 1st unit being successful. I want my best offensive D-man on that unit, and to me that's McAvoy and it's not even close.

Maybe I'm just old-school and don't like micro-managing a skater's minutes and if I'm a coach and I have a clear-cut No.1 D man on my team, I'm rolling that guy out there as often as possible in all situations.

Do you feel the bruins have enough SNARL?

Loosing Chara somewhat hurts but he wasn't very physical last year.

Adding Zboril/Lauzon adds toughness, they both play a very physical game even though they're average height/slightly above average weight.
Adding Smith also helps, hard worker, hits, doesn't really drop the gloves though
Getting Miller back adds toughness

So overall I would say the team is slightly bigger/tougher vs last year. Still nothing compared to Wash/STL
