Pre-Game Talk: Game 33 4/1 7:07 PM - THE BEAR hunts for penguins - NESN, SN, 98.5 WBZ-FM

Blidh is awful. Arguably the worst set of hands in the NHL today. His hitting/agitation is overrated. AAAA-level player.

Rather have Wagner than Blidh.

Like Freddy's getting another game at C. I think his future on this team is still likely as a winger, but great to have him as a center option in a bind.

i know im in the minority but why cant we just break up that first line for a couple games?
smith looked good up there.
and get ritchie away from krejci. put bjork on his wing with pasta.
Bjork makes things happen. if hes with some talent like pasta and krejci i think it could work.

Did Butch not also call out Pasta? If he did not he better. Pasta has been approached the other teams zone slower then Krech and making a lot it turnovers and bad passes. He needs to get his butt in gear more then anyone.

Good luck Vladar, hopefully the team treats you better then they did Halak.

Pasta was a turnover machine the last game because he cannot overcome his instinct to dangle through multiple players. Krecji and Marchand also do it on occasion, but Pasta is the number one offender. If you get picked going in at the offensive blue line, you just gave the other team a third of the ice and a head start going the other way.

Wagner getting himself benched for Blidh when he got that stupid long contract out of us is on him.

 

[KrejciWinger]

Seeing Butch insist on keeping the first line together while also citing Grzelcyk/McAvoy as "too top-heavy" makes me unreasonably annoyed.

Bjork makes stuff happen when he's against lesser defenders. When he's in a top 6 role facing more serious shut down guys, he crumbles. I leave the top 6 alone for a while. Ritchie-Krejci-Smith is starting to gel, and the Bergeron line needs no defending.

Blidh hasn't been any worse than Wagner and actually has been a bit more consistent with the effort.

Thought it was interesting when Cassidy called out the bubble players, basically saying that they need to bring a lot more intensity when replacing an "NHL player like Wagner".

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Must admit I was a bit surprised to see the 4th line kept intact after a poor outing 2 days ago. However after Cassidy called the youngsters out and challenged them to bring more fire and compete, it's probably only fair he gives them all a chance to respond to that. He's put the onus on them to step up, let's see what they do.

Darth vlader time.

I come in peace, but we've (more me actually) cornered the "Darkside of the Force" well before this. So battle of Death Stars it is...

I won't post my gif here to not provoke things... It will be in our GDT.... No injuries is all I ask...but we all know how that goes.


Beyond your post: I will say, yellow/gold, but you guys all are the ones who fought so hard to try and keep us from it. I just don't see the reasoning to throw stones in glass houses.

Have a great game...but not too great.

Available in my viewing area. Sick!!!

 

[eightspokedb]

You can say it- chicken shit yellow

I was being polite.....j/k

PAREE played....LETS GO BRUINS!!!!!

 

[caz16]

I am glad Vladar is getting more games, obviously concerned about Tuukka but we need to see what we have in goaltending depth as well. He has been very good apart from that one blunder which even a veteran can make....notably Timmy in the Final. I think we have a keeper...

Keep it rolling Bruins, I like how they looked in the third period of the last game. Take the reins Charlie, you are a born leader.
