I couldn't agree more. I expected to see Spooner shine tonight but didn't draw as much attention as expected. Sauve looked great out there too bad hes a center thats a long wait list.
the goaltending has me worried a bit for the Rangers game

The goaltending didn't have our D playing 100% IMO. They weren't laying guys out like they would in an actual game. So I wouldn't put too much into all the goals.
true. Big bad Bruins will be in affect starting Saturday.. im hoping for the best but cant help tuukkas confidence lettin up 7 vs Pbruins
Im ready for them to come out big saturday but still feel like were missing something

I'd say its Bourque's spot to lose. He looked really solid, that was the best line all night.
Man Suave is DISGUSTING. Kid's got some hands.. if he can stay healthy he will make it.
I honestly think he is good enough now.

If Sauve was a winger he already would be on the team. unless a trade happens koko and sauve have a lengthy wait

Yeah, Bourque was impressive. He reminds me of Peverley out there. Not entirely convinced, but you have to give him a shot at the start.

Had I known that Chia was actually going to downgrade Pouliot's spot I would have been upset when they dealt him...
He got us Seth Griffith however!
Artemis
Took the red pill
Sauve has played mostly wing for the PBruins. The reason why he's not on the team is that he's made of glass. He got a call-up last year and got hurt in the first period.

Max Sauve has played LW for the last two seasons and I think he should be the third line LW unless we make a deal. Still think Julien doesn't like him. Chris Bourque not the answer, but at least he can score and we'll see how long he last.

Downgrade? Not possible

Overpaid 4th liner
I think Claude's problem with max is like Artemis said "made of glass". It's too bad because he has talent.
Does Chris Bourque being on the third line finally end the "this is a team that won the stanley cup" rhetoric?
Ryder to CB is a downgrade, but it's not as though we had Luc Robitaille out there.

I doubt we win 3 game 7's with Bourque playing a regular shift. Benoit Pouliot ended up costing game 7 of the 1st round with his turnover, and Bourque isn't any better than him.

No Tim Thomas effectively ended that...
We still have what, 15 guys left? They have one more run in them before the Cap causes problems next year.
Ryder was great, he was also a whipping boy for 90% of the time he was here. The Kings won with Trevor Lewis, Dwight King, Jordan Nolan, Colin Fraser and Brad Richardson playing regular shifts.
My point was there's a tendency to romanticise how good the cup winning team was, there's no reason that Bourque couldn't be part of a cup winning team and then in 3 years we'd be saying "Anthony Camara is no Chris Bourque, no way this team wins a cup."
What's everyone's problem with Chris Bourque? The kid has produced in the AHL at nearly a PPG level for over 400 games, good wheels, works hard. For a third line guy, I'm not expecting a world class player. Unless he comes in and flat out sucks, I'm on the Bourque bandwagon.
Would I like to see a better player at that spot? Sure... but right now, he's the best option we have. And for a team so close to to the cap ceiling, we don't have a lot of other options to turn to.

people forget how good Ryder was in the playoffs for us. he was his 30 goal self and really stepped up. I hope Bourque plays well and helps make that third line a legit scoring threat but i don't expect it. i think Caron will eventually get a chance for that spot when he is healthy and prove to be a better option. whether or not he will be good enough for the Bruins and people here remains to be seen. I'm hoping for a trade if/when those two don't work out
