Who is the Booth?

“Booth, 23, split time last season between the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL and the Greenville Swamp Rabbits and Atlanta Gladiators of the ECHL. In 15 career AHL games with Charlotte, The 6-foot-3, 187-pound goaltender was 7-4-0 with a 2.54 goals-against average and .902 save percentage. In 60 career ECHL games, Booth was 36-19-4 with three shutouts, a 2.66 goals-against average, and a .908 save percentage. Booth was originally drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes in the fourth round (93rd overall) of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.”

Extra goalie signed in the offseason.

Excited to see Grzelcyk back. Hopefully he's 100% and doesn't re-aggravate his injury yet again.

 

[Blowfish]

I don’t think Bjork should be inserted on RW over Studnicka if both are healthy.

 

[mjhfb]

Play better on the walls? Maybe he should get one of these.

 

[BAD BOY]

Liking the line up. Bruins need to insert Cliffy and Studnicka every other game.

I'm hoping Bjork breaks through....been working his arse off creating opportunities. Finally a third line that just may click!

I like them lines . That’s all

Toto - What the hell did they do to Penn Station???

Been meaning to check it out... I guess I'll have to wait until I take a train to Newark Airport.

 

[UConn126]

Excited to finally have a Bruins game to watch. Been watching a lot of other games, but nothing quite scratches the same itch as watching the Bruins.

Any word on when they'll wear the new reverse retros? I feel like we're one of the few teams that hasn't debuted them yet.

Nope. Haven't worn them yet...

I'm guessing the game against the Flyers outdoors.

 

[UConn126]

I know they wore the black thirds one night, but I wanna see those new gold threads in action!!!

 

[UConn126]

do you need the shot?

 

[HumBucker]

I'm fine with these lines.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

I'm fine with these lines.

Same. Granted, I’d love to see Bennett/Virtanen in that Bjork spot.

 

[bme44]

I'm fine with these lines.

DeBrusk , Coyle and Bjork . Hope this line has a good game, Coyle has not looked great to me so far this year . I know if they do not have a good game most here will blame his wingers first , so fingers crossed it works should be a fast line

 

[BMC]

DROP THE f***ING PUCK ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sevendust]

I like McGuire better than some of the others. Plus he is nice to me. He always stops in to say hello when he is at a B's home game and always says what he likes about the B's.

Did he ever talk to you about Sidney Crosby?
