Pre-Game Talk: Game 3 - 1/18 5:07 PM - BRUINS at NY Islanders - NESN, NBCSN, SN (except Ontario), 98.5 WBZ-FM

[Jean_Jacket41]

This is probably the best line up possible, but that line up is going to need to win 2-1 or 1-0.

Still a better lineup than NYI.

 

[Bruinaura]

I'll still be at work when it starts but should be home in time for the second period.

 

[LouJersey]

Still a better lineup than NYI.

Do you really believe that?

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Do you really believe that?

Yes. I believe facts.

Best top line.

Best G.

Best team.

 

[Smitty93]

Do you really believe that?

As long as Ross Johnston is on the Islanders' 3rd line, yes.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Like the potential lineup.

Marchand-Bergy-DeBrusk
Ritchie-Krejci-Stud
Bjork-Coyle-Smith
Frederic-Kuraly-Wagner

Bruins usually have success against Isles. Let’s keep that trend.

2-0-1

Do it

DeBrusk has never played RW. He's started the season badly. Do you really expect throwing him on to the top line and playing him on his off wing to work, both for the team and his own performance?

 

[Dr Hook]

I think he needs to work on his goal scoring. Be a team player, Tuukka!

Sorry, he doesn't have the mental toughness to score goals. Once the pressure gets up, he'll fold like a cheap tent. I know this because some people here told me so.

i dont understant this too...why try this, Debrusk show nothing, no interest, maybe expose him?

Not true. He did play RW at times.

And I have zero problem putting the 2nd best winger on the 1st line.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Not true. He did play RW at times.

Apologies, you're right. My memory is defective, he has played RW a little. But not a lot. I'm still far from convinced he's going to be a good fit skating off side with Bergy and Marchand. If Cassidy actually tries it and it works, great, but I can't see it.

 

[Dr Hook]

Not true. He did play RW at times.

yea Bruce has used him on the off wing on occasion. He want really effective there, but he isn’t effective where he is right now anyway.

He's played RW. Did so at time when Ritchie first came and also when Cehlarik would come up

Imagine the numbers he'd have put up if he had legit 2nd liners flanking him for the last 3-4 years.

 

[LouJersey]

Yes. I believe facts.

Best top line.

Best G.

Best team.

Bergeron
Marchand
Krejci
JDB
Coyle
Smith
Bjork

Barzal
Lee
Eberle
Nelson
Beauvillier
Bailey
Pageau

Isles defense also blows Boston's away fwiw

 

[BMC]

I'll still be at work when it starts but should be home in time for the second period.

Bbbbbbuut...that means no cookies for the first period!!!!!

Bruins with the best player (Marchand)

The best top line

The best G

The best #1D

The best team

No wonder their record is so good against the Isles.

Beat them again and tie Wsh at 2-0-1

 

[Bruinaura]

Bbbbbbuut...that means no cookies for the first period!!!!!

I shall endeavor to make arrangements for cookie delivery

 

[BMC]

I watched Rangers/Islanders last night & the re-play today (I can't bring myself to watch Z in another uniform) & Trotz was absolutely right to be pissed off at his team. It was one brain fart after another (9!penalties) and give the Rangers credit they made the Isles pay for them. You can bet Trotz will have them ready to go tomorrow. Also the Rangers are going to be damn good in a few years & could surprise this year.

Yay!!!

Best top line when Pasta is in there yes, not now

Best goalie yes,

Best #1 D yes, next four best defensemen are all Islanders

Better team last year yes

The past is great yes, not applicable now though, I'm sorry.

 

[The don godfather]

Stay calm and Bergeron

 

[LouJersey]

Imagine the numbers he'd have put up if he had legit 2nd liners flanking him for the last 3-4 years.

He makes 7.25 million against the cap, he should be making players like JDB better, no?

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Best top line when Pasta is in there yes, not now

Best goalie yes,

Best #1 D yes, next four best defensemen are all Islanders

Better team last year yes

Agree to disagree then.

To me, Bruins better team now. Even without Pasta. Even more when he’s back.

And after 56, Bruins will have the most points.

Past. Present. Futur

Bruins better than the Isles.
