Man this is soooo much fun! So many positives. I don’t think I ever remember a more enjoyable time watching hockey.
Foligno looks like a boss out there. Frederic really seems to be getting stronger and more confident every game…if you took off the players numbers, I’m sure I would confuse him with Coyle a couple times a game (his possession game is really getting better).
What a team.

Just as we all predicted before the season began...
With a minimum of 90 minutes played together, the only D-pair in the NHL that hasn't allowed a goal while on ice?
Hampus Lindholm - Connor Clifton
In over 115 even-strength minutes together, they've been on the ice for 10 goals scored and 0 goals allowed.

Chara was spotted with Zack and Ben at the game last night
I fully expect them to do at least that.
They're gonna need to amp ot up a bit though because besides last night it's been pretty mediocre lately, with that said I am certain they will.

I don't think old school thinking like "demotion" works with this coach.
I think he will change line combos in a blink if he sees an edge to be gained from in in a period. Keeps the opponents guessing also.
Keep your enemy on their heels and guessing and your win is inevitable.
The only problem I see with that is line chemistry. Hard to build it when your not on the same line from period to period.
So far it is working though. Time will prove.
Ah! There we have the rare Spotted Z!

How does this Bruin roster compare with Tampa’s ? I guess we find out tomorrow.
Not sure if it was to loosen up Hall or Zacha or get Coyle going. I'm baffled.
Yeah I think that's right - Monty definitely uses the 4th line as a more or less traditional grunt line that does a lot of the yard yards and defensive draws, but the top 3 are pretty fluid and he's more than willing to mix and match as the situation dictates and as seems best to him to try and generate more offense and chances. Sometimes the 3rd does also get more of a shut down/possession role but it seems to vary, and in an attacking game like the Hawks one I think it makes little difference for a guy like Hall whether he's skating with Coyle or Krej or Bergy - the basic aim is the same and the player shouldn't be too concerned about rank or perceived demotions. It's more about finding the best combos to get the right results.
Of course if Hall or whoever was winding up on the 3rd line all the time then there might be cause for concern, but we're not seeing that, at least so far.
I agree too that chemistry is going to have to become a bigger focus at some point. I trust it will in due time.

Never underestimate multiple cup champs especially when core still there. Hopefully we got this. Mild book it.

Believe me, I don't underestimate the Bolts and the best goalie on the planet, but we've had good success against them the last 3 meetings
It should be a good one!
I like challenges. I'm confident in this team at the moment to say bring it on. I'll take the Bruins right now against any team. Gotta have that confidence. They've shown us they're good. Let's see what they can do during this stretch. It will be fun. And a good test for us.
That’s just insane. Strange tho that I don’t see Makar-Toews (or Makar-Whoever).
Yup, but it also won’t be easy for the other teams either. Not sure that they’ll be prepared for the intensity of the swarm that is this year’s Killer B’s. Go Bruins!

Besides McDonagh who else is missing on Tampa’s backend? Hedman and Sergachev are still good obviously.

Rutta. So going from McDonagh/Rutta to Ian Cole/Nick Perbix/Haydn Fleury
And Hedman has been pretty bad defensively this year, especially comparatively.
