This year is surely shaping up as proving that 2023 was Sweeney's greatest offseason. Had a really tight cap and therefore had to be very sharp and make every penny count (perhaps that's part of the secret there) and he went and got us Geekie, JvR, Shattenkirk and Heinen (bit of a freebie, but Don at least had the sense to sign him). All big ticks there. Then you have Boqvist, who we can probably still expect a little more from but at least he's finding his way now and has been solid of late, and Wotherspoon has also been a perfectly acceptable depth defender. Only bust has been Lucic and that was entirely beyond his control.
To top it off they initially backed in Poitras and Beecher, and then Lohrei, and while I know there's some here, myself included to a point, who would like to see the youth being given more time, responsibility and leniency, they've at least had some solid experience and all acquitted themselves well at times.
Who knows where this team ends up, and whether they've really got the horses and have put together the right sort of roster to make a deep run. But regardless, given Boston's cap and assets situation at the end of last season, the GM's done as well as could reasonably be asked with the deals and moves he made. Thumbs way up on that.
Edit: just realized I forgot Brown. Probably not a great result there, but then not exactly high expectations either and no harm done that he's mostly just hanging about in Providence.

The rivalry is not dead. It is still amongst us in spirit in the living and the dead of those who endured Hab Hockey Hell until spring in the year of our Lord 1988. Our Brothers and Sisters in Hockey Heaven, including the Gallery Gods who still sit above us in the second balcony, smile down upon us today because there are no Hab fans in Hockey Heaven. They are in the basement, sitting with the living, of Hab Hockey Hell, forever and ever, world without end. Amen.

Holy dung! Not that I would do it but Danton Heinen can probably be flipped for a 2nd round pick at trade deadline now. Donny picking him up from the trash can for nothing giving him peanuts is some serious asset management. Donny is the man!

Nice to see the teams reaction when heinen got his trick, he's been playing very well.

Poitras didn't even get a point!
Linus sucked!
Our PK was bad!
Am I doing it right?

I loved the aggressiveness and lack of over-passing. The Bruins played exactly as they should have against this caliber of team. I can’t find fault with much at all.

The best part of the win was the Habs wanted this game bad. Like REALLY wanted this game and to watch that bench go from we believe we can maybe make a playoff run to fully, completely, thoroughly demoralized . . .to the point MSL had to use a TO to get them to focus was . . .

Nice night to pad the stats against the terrible rivals.
Watched the game on HNIC, really great broadcast.
Next two games should be great challenges.
Interesting numbers:
Debrusk 11-13-24 +13
Freddy 13-11-24 +13

Hockey isn't a slow pace sport such as baseball where much of the entertainment is driven by the fans.
Hockey fans generally pride themselves on knowledge of the sport and watching every play. The wave is the opposite. The pink hats do as they please but it also drives prices higher.
It was. Charlie & Woodstock made up for it with their goals though so I’m not disappointed!
I thought of you when Danton scored his third! I was so happy for him (as was the entire Bs bench).
