Nash pops his first tonight, just to pi** some off here

Too late for me as well. I hope they come out with that energy we saw in game one, let's get a winning streak going on the road trip. GO BRUINS!!!

I thought they had energy vs the Avs but had horrendous focus and execution

o% chance I stay awake for this one.

I'm getting old.

 

[veganbruin]

I think they need to consider placing Czarnik between Marchand and Pastrnak. Give him the chance. Spooner with more grit and skill off the rush.

The joys of retirement....nap in the afternoon..late hockey games are a treat!!!

 

[Bruinfanatic]

And he was playing on the PP in the first two games.

He is a good 4th liner/PKer. He should be nowhere near any skilled players. Look for him now to have a 2g game to make me look bad...

Lets hope I won't mind looking bad with you.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Watching Nash get the puck in the slot wide open last game and taking 3 solid seconds to get it off his stick made me cringe.

Yep I remember that play

Watching Nash get the puck in the slot wide open last game and taking 3 solid seconds to get it off his stick made me cringe.

I remember one time they had a nice triangle passes on the PP and DeBrusk gave him right in the slot. No shot on goal...

Are you saying Czarnik has more skill than Spooner?

Doubt if anyone doesn't hope that he does score.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

Even though I miss home, this is one of the benefits to living on the left coast.

You in SoCal or NoCal? I grew up in SoCal, but live north of Boston now.

 

[gvkmedia]

Kuraly for me would centre the 1st line over Nash. But what the heck - it's only game 3. I just hope they don't have to look back on these 2 games and wonder what the heck happened. Looking ahead - they should really win 3 of the next 4. Maybe even all 4. If not - it could be a looooongggg season.

 

[CptxMorgan]

I've seen better releases in my local beer league.

Sadly, especially with Backes also out, what options do they have? They tried Krejci and Spooner between 63 and 88, hasn't worked for whatever reason, despite the small sample size.

Czarnik? Hell, I'd even try Kuraly, at least he's a physical presence and crashes the net.

 

[patty59]

Doesn't really matter who starts the game where, Cassidy usually juggles the lines after the puck hits the ice.

This is true.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Doesn't really matter who starts the game where, Cassidy usually juggles the lines after the puck hits the ice.

I'm expecting Kuraly or Heinen to be the 2nd line C between Marchand and Pasta by the 2nd period

Sadly I'm more concerned with guys like Marchy, Spooner and Pasta getting their shit together than I am with Nash being on the first line. They've all been pretty much equally ineffective offensively this season...we won't look back on this game and blame Nash being on the first line if we lose...it's all on the guys around him paid to score.

 

[NDiesel]

Side note, seeing Riley Nash being so close to 100 points is making me get flashes of "Jimmy Hayes is 2 points short of his 100th NHL point" in GDTs for an entire season.

Yup - I don’t mind Nash prouducing offense like Nash. But when guys like Pasta and Marchand start doing it there is a problem and it isn’t Nash.

Exactly, but Nash is the easy scapegoat for most people when he's put on the 1st line.

Currently sitting outside the playoff structure... points are at a premium.

 

[PlayMakers]

Would be cool to see Heinen play well in Denver, where he spent two years in college.

Showcase?

SoCal. Inland Empire. I grew up about an hour south of Boston.
