Post-Game Talk: Game #2 - Halak leads B's to a 1-0 victory - Enjoy the 2 off days in Vegas guys

Excellent point —- I neglected to consider that.

How did that work out for the teams that did that with Vegas?

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Is Alex Tuch truly a RW? He’s listed as that on some sites but I confess I don’t watch Vegas enough to know or remember. He has a not insignificant LB injury right now I believe.

However, if he’s a true RW and health is not a problem I’d target him. Big, fast and hands. Anytime I’ve seen him he stands out to me (says the guy who didn’t watch close enough to know for sure if he’s LW or RW!).

He's listed as a RW.

Why would Vegas want to move him?

They wouldn’t... I just like him as a player and he’s not in untouchable land. Kind of like DeBrusk. We wouldn’t want to move him, but if an over the top transom offer came in that made sense we certainly would.

Vegas is not strong on D —- and I don’t know their expansion draft exposure. Could be a match? If so, Tuch would be a great add.

Super weird start, we haven't looked particularly good but goaltending has been tremendous. Always think it's a sign of a good team to win games you shouldn't be winning though.

i'm late to this party but i just want to put my stamp of approval on getting debrusk-coyle-heinen as our 2nd line and krejci can have ritchie/backes and bjork as his linemates.. debrusk and krejci needs to be broken up , at least tried at this point..

Vegas is exempt from the expansion draft.

Vegas is exempt from the expansion draft.

vegas is gonna clean up again, taking advantage of the idea that they can have much
talent as possible while everyone else has limitations.

 

[CDJ]

2 games in (both road wins, by the way) and people already want to screw with the lineup.

Jesus Christ...

In fairness they’ve scored 3 goals and look really meh 5 on 5

 

[Glove Malfunction]

I had concerns about this trip given they were the opponent for 2 home openers but they won both.

Now they have 2 days in Vegas to bond a little more. The game in Vegas will be tough as VGK has come out of the gate on a mission after the way they were knocked out in the first round. Colorado has always been a tough place but this time the altitude in Denver won't be as much as a factor as they will have been in Vegas for 3 days so........

Vegas is just barely 2000' above sea level, compared to 5300' in Denver. So I don't think being in Vegas will help them from an O2 perspective. But Vegas is a dry, boring town, so I expect they will be well rested and very well hydrated...

 

[Clint Eastwood]

We've been very stagnant offensively the last two games while playing good defensively with really good goaltending.

I would really like to see some more ebbs and flows in our offense and a lot less of trying to be the Harlem Globe Trotters of hockey with their passing. Shoot the f***ing puck.

Damn it. Forgot that! Thanks.

Well maybe they just don't like Tuch as a person?

 

[BAD BOY]

Vegas is a better team(imagine that) that should be the bruins first loss of the year

You may be right Marco. But the game is played on the ice, not through the media or on paper. ( imagine that)
