[Sevendust]

Out:
Marchand, Bergy, Smith, Freddy, Blidh, Swayman

In:
Studs, Steen, Froden, Kuhlman

Keyser is backup for Linus

Man that covid thing f***ed up our defense core .... oh ... nevermind

 

[22Brad Park]

What To Expect From Jesper Froden, Kyle Keyser After Call-Ups To Bruins

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

I assume this means if they play this weekend we will probably see the NHL debut of Keyser Sunday in Ottawa.

 

[HustleB]

Wonder what percentage of NHL players would rather just play through all this. 90%? Higher?

I doubt it but I don't want to wander here. Go B's hope the Kids play awesome and noone new gets sick.

Yup ,Cassidy already said he will get 1 game of the back to back.

 

[LouJersey]

Got to feel for John Moore .Guy plays solid and still sent down.Cassidy says for Cap reasons .Reilly takes his spot.Bruins Sending John Moore Back To AHL Was Not Performance-Related

cap reasons like something huge is planned lol.

 

[22Brad Park]

Cassidy was talking about Froden being good in the bumper spot on pp.

 

[HustleB]

guessing the “second line” will be lucky to get more than ten minutes of ice time

Someone has to be sitting in the analytics department saying, up DeBrusk's value, find out who Studnicka are and Steen as well. The value in that covers getting two points instead of 4/5 in these games in the long term. And hopefully we pull out a couple wins and get 4 anyhow. But DeBrusk pops a couple on the trip assisted by the kids it would help everyone.

Yea he played 22 mins vs Vegas was even with 2 shots .

 

[The National]

I’m liking the looks of that 2nd line.

 

[JerseyBruin]

cant overlook though NFL has advantage of playing in only one country.
NHL has other obstacles.

And only once a week .

Better wait till puck drops first

 

[UConn126]

If you go wear a mask.

Have you had all of your vaccines ?

Vaxed and boosted. NYS has a new mask mandate effective a couple days ago, so the whole crowd should be masked.

I would have maybe tried Froden with Steen, they have great chemistry together.

 

[nORRis8]

I don't even care anymore, been a Bruins fan since the Orr days when I was a little kid and loved this team, first time I can recall that I just don't care. Part is the whole covid thing, but the biggest part is having a gutless and clueless coach and incompetent Front Office, Sweeney and Neely would have been gone long ago in most other organizations.

This Leagues talent pool is so watered down most teams have a solid 1st line and a bunch of scrubs and throwaways on lines 2-4 and hope for the best.
Such a joke when we have a clued out coach to add to the mixture. But hey, if we add some more career AHLers to our team of career AHLers I'm sure we'll ace it.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

This is going to be rough haha

 

[The National]

 

[BAD BOY]

The lines are what the are considering the circumstances, I’ll leave it at that lol

It's Cassidy ,lucky Studnicka is there

and outside

 

[22Brad Park]

He is going to get powerplay time book it.( If Bruins get pp)Cassidy was talking about it which shocked me

In Boston I think only about 5% wear masks even though it is the rule.

 

[the negotiator]

The lack of mask wearing at Bs games is widespread...to the point that jumbo- torn shots show literally entire sections without a mask

given it is a Boston city ordinance that wearing mask is required I wonder if/ when the City of Boston drops the boom on TD Garden ...have more than enough evidence to prove the case just by watching NESN broadcast of games

 

[bobbyorr04]

What happened to the Islanders

They should've kept Eberle

I expect it will correct and if they go on a run like they do for about 12 games every season, they could work their way back into the wild card discussion.

The Isles run will probably start with the Bruins tonight

Until a few games ago everyone working behind the Bs bench did not wear masks. Something must have been said because they all wear them now.

The folks who work for the Garden hold up small sighs that say "PLEASE MASK UP " but no one does. A few of us that sit right next to the Bs wear them.
