Pre-Game Talk: Game 50: Winnipeg vs Boston Jan 29 7:00 PM

[MetM]

That will be a tough one, at least they play at the Garden.
On the app "The Score" is says "Rask (expected)" , anyone knows where they get that info?
Or they just use their own "guess-o-meter" ?

I take it they're still on break today and no practice?

[Bruinaura]

I almost forgot there was a hockey season going on. I hate the bye week.

Interesting roster moves...

Hope Tuukka recovers quickly

 

[JCRO]

Frederic gets his turn.

I'll be trucking down to watch this one.

GO B's!

(weather better cooperate!)

[MetM]

Well I got my answer anyways! lol

 

[Alicat]

Hope Tuukka is ok.

Love the moves but I hate that Moore is the odd man out on D.

WTF?!?!

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

I really appreciate the fact that they are making Donato prove himself.

Last thing I want to see is another Jordan Caron situation with a young guy coasting around looking completely out of place night after night.

Nice to see more size up front.

 

[ON3M4N]

Happy to see Frederic get a look right after the break. Not sure he'll be the answer, but I think he's the type of center that Boston needs on that 3rd line.

Also nice to see Sweeney and Co willing to send down guys that just don't seem to be getting it done. I thought JFK had been improving game by game, but with Frederic up, it only makes sense that he'd go down.

 

[alg363636]

Excited to see Frederic. I know Sweeney is just trying to test all the internal options before he makes a trade but still hoping he has a good game. Heard great things about him but haven't had a chance to see him play much.

Could really use two points here...take back our spot from Montreal. Knowing this team we will put out a great win vs Winnipeg and then lose 2-1 again Philly on Thursday.

 

[ON3M4N]

Feels like Sweeney/Cassidy are trying to re-create that Heinen-Nash-Backes line from last season. I hope Frederic can be that guy because it was an effective line last year.

It was an effective line for a good stretch when Heinen especially was offensively clicking. It was always a responsible line, but "effective" is a little strong from my POV when looking at the season in its entirety.

 

[Elmer]

Jets have a game in Philly tonight. A back to back on the road after 10 days off could prove taxing to them. Cautiously optimistic.

Trent Frederic

Center -- shoots L
Born Feb 11 1998 -- St. Louis, MO
[20 yrs. ago]
Height 6.02 -- Weight 200 [188 cm/91 kg]


10 goals / 17 Pts in 37 games.
47 PIM in PRO this year.

It will be interesting to see what he can do with the big club.

Other than Tuukka, these are moves I can get behind.

Holy cow I feel old. Trent is 6 days younger than my youngest son.

 

[compan]

This seems to be the type of player we've been looking for lately...

Love Backes on his line and in his ear every chance they get.

By "3rd line" standards, I'd say it was an effective line.

 

[BMC]

Welcome to Boston Trent Frederic!

Seems he has some size & snarl which this team can use IMO

 

[wintersej]

By "3rd line" standards, I'd say it was an effective line.

I guess being in the same division as Tampa and Toronto kind of messes with hopes for what your 3rd line can do.

 

[missingchicklet]

Was hoping Frederic would get a look at some point. Will be great if he comes up and does well.

 

[ON3M4N]

I guess being in the same division as Tampa and Toronto kind of messes with hopes for what your 3rd line can do.

To each their own. I don't get to inundated with comparing to TBL/TOR. If my 3rd line can play a shutdown role vs most lines and chip in some secondary offense then great, that's what I want.

 

[Prince Pasta]

super excited to see frederic play!

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Holy cow I feel old. Trent is 6 days younger than my youngest son.

My youngest daughter is only 3 months younger than him, May 1998 . I feel your pain. Ugh.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Poor tuukka

I understand it was a legal hit and all that, but I really wish someone just went after that Ranger and took the major. You need to make it loud and clear to the league that if you come at the net too hard, you’re probably going to be punched in the face and thrown around.

And I’m far from the “hockey needs more fighting” crowd.


Excited to see what frederic’s Got!

 

[Ladyfan]

My youngest daughter is only 3 months younger than him, May 1998 . I feel your pain. Ugh.

My daughter is the same age as Joe Thornton

 

[HockeyMomx2]

My daughter is the same age as Joe Thornton

Ok, you win. My oldest is a 1990, he's as old as Stamkos, etc.

I agree. And we already play well against Leafs taking 3 out of 4 from them..
