It’d be nice to pipe the bruins

 

[shuchukfan]

At least it's not an afternoon game...

[KingsFan7824]

Boston is another team that should be rebuilding.

DeBrusk missed a team meeting and is benched tonight.

Congrats to Kopitar. One of my favorite non Bruins. Great player on the ice and an even better person off it.

Interesting matchup.

Kings have center depth.
Bruins lack center depth.

Kings have weak goaltending.
Bruins have the best goaltending in the NHL.

I don't know why these president trophy winners ruin prospects by just GIVING them roster spots. Another non-McDavid person playing alongside the team captain.

Probably because they don't have cap space?

Same reason the Kings do I guess.

I was told that only McDavid's play in the NHL before they're 20, and that rushing prospects would ruin them.

But I guess a currently undefeated team doesn't know what they're doing.

 

[Fishhead]

I guess we finally see how good the Bruins are. Undefeated so far, but it's been ANA-CHI-ANA, so they haven't been remotely challenged yet.

The Ducks and the Hawks have 20 goals in 8 combined games. The Kings have 19 in 4. How crazy is that?

 

[johnjm22]

I was told that only McDavid's play in the NHL before they're 20, and that rushing prospects would ruin them.

But I guess a currently undefeated team doesn't know what they're doing.

Usually only very very good prospects become regular NHLers before they're 20.

I count 7 teenagers who were NHL regulars last year. So it's pretty rare.

So, only 7 McDavids last year?

I guess having Byfield, Kaliyev, Laff and Spence on the roster just isn’t good enough.

Fagemo-Byfield-Kempe
Moore-Vilardi-Kaliyev
Iafallo-Turcotte-Laf
Grundstrom-Kupari-JAD

Anderson-Clarke
Gavrikov-Faber
Bjornfot-Spence

Imagine how much better off we would be with this lineup.

 

[LAKings88]

Not sure how this will go. Hoping the center depth pulls through. Need Copley to make the saves he should tonight. Assuming he gets the start.

Pass the pipe, it would help me.

bit worried about copley

bruins have some serious shooters

Copley isn’t starting against what could be the best team in the league after what Talbot has done last two games.

 

[johnjm22]

Bruins have excellent special teams. Excellent goaltending. Excellent top 4 D, and a world class goal scorer.

You're going to win a lot of games with that formula, even if I find their overall forward group unimpressive.

No way. Kings should just trade Clarke and a first for more center depth, where they're weakest.

 

[tny760]

you guys should just make out already
