That's who I kept thinking of while watching Ullmark tonight. Human highlight reel this game.

What a game. Flaws and all, darn proud of the team for fighting back through the late first period struggles, erasing three deficits and coming away with two points. I hope tomorrow doesn't turn out like the game at MSG(which I attended). If I'm not mistaken, if Linus doesn't stick his toe out, they're down 3-0. They turned up the sound for the third period at Buff's, which was fun.

To fill in for Zacha or another center when injured, sure. But the geek is not a top six center. I like him and he has been impressive the past few games.
I see him as a 3C. Respectfully.
It seems pretty safe. Definitely a lot to do but also very expensive in my opinion.
Overall though it’s a pretty nice place to visit.
All that wouldn't be unreasonable if we weren't 1/3 way through the season. In a contract year you can't get it together is worrisome to me.

They played horribly for all but the first ten minutes and last six. The officials screwed em, but the hockey gods and Ullmark were on their side.... I can't believe the Islanders missed an open net from three feet with no around the shooter. Maybe somebody tipped it and I missed it. Geekie and Marchand were decent. Despite getting burned on a bad bounce, Shattenkirk was their best defenseman by far. The rest of them were quite bad.
I hope Sweeney can use his modest assets to make changes.

Charlie Coyle is my favorite Bruin today. I love the way he plays the game. Not a perfect player but incredibly hard working and hard to play against. I feel like he would have to be one of our most important players when we move towards playoff hockey. The fact that he’s putting up first line points this year is awesome but the things he does year after year have always been critical to playoff hockey.
Fair point. But it's concerning to me that we're 1/3 into the season and we still don't have consistent lines.

When the Bruins were down 2-0 I was concerned. This one was looking like a loss and then facing a good Rangers team tomorrow? It felt like we were going to hit the skids for awhile . But the Bruins said No ! That’s not happening.

So what positives we learn recently ?
1. Geekie can play center - plays hard and in tough areas near net
2. Shattenkirk can run a power play at a high level

It's been patchwork with Montgomery regardless.
Understanding who is going and who is not, and making in-game changes, in addition to making line changes through practice, etc. Is fine.
But there's been too much of a Helter skelter approach here. To the point, again, where I don't know what the first line is or what the second line is. And again, I'm not even sure about lines three or four.
Pick some combos, Sunny Jim, and go with them for a game or two.

Powerplay looked sharpest as I seen a Bruins pp in some time.
You may very well be right. But he certainly has played like a top six center, the last three or four games.
None of the other players are bitching about this.
With players out the lines will be changed around. Jake needs to adjust like everyone else.
Hopefully once the players that are out return, they can establish lines. Until then all must work through it.

Pulling that win was a miracle I cant believe they won. I'm opening a bag of doritos jalapeno flavored.
Marchand and Pasta look noticeably more comfortable with a right shot in the bumper IMO. I know Zacha is our 1C, but it just doesn't work as well with him there.
I agree, but that's over a few games. An entire season is another matter. If the geek can enter the top six, I'm fine with that. At least he has shown some emotion and initiative. That has been in short supply thus far this season.

Yes this I agree.Marchand said something a while back if memory correct.
One thing I will say is he has always had just 4th line minutes where he has played and still put up decent numbers so with added responsibility and more minutes, I could definitely see him with forty or fifty points.
Monty has been changing lines since before players were out. This has been going on since the start of the season
And no players are bitching about this fact, yes you're right. Jake included. Nobody is bitching about it. Nobody said anyone was bitching about it.
I just think we need some stability on the lines. And the constant shuffling isn't helping. That's all. I think we can agree on that.
