Or incompetent coach. How does a player go from healthy scratch to top line in one game?
I'm starting to agree. Let's not waste assets, and hope Stone hits free agency.
The exact same move that he won a shootout with last year. He didn't execute, obviously.
While I know that the third line C is a gaping hole, I can't say that JFK is significantly better than TF. JFK took a while to get up to speed. TF is more physical which is something that they needed but JFK is a better technician but much weaker physically IMO. Neither one is the answer right now for sure.
Yeah , I can’t believe fans who just want to throw in the towel already considering the Bruins are likely going to be playing the Leafs in round 1 . Sure the Leafs are better but with a couple of additions the Bruins can get there .
I’m disappointed with the loss also but am trying to look at the big picture. Even if the Bruins go on a tear , they are not catching Tampa. So if they play very well the rest of the year maybe they get the 2nd spot and have home ice vs the Leafs . They could play fairly well ( which is more likely ) the rest of the way but they still get the Leafs without home ice advantage. I’m not big on a home ice advantage so not overly concerned about that . Of course Montreal can get in the way but I don’t see them keeping pace with the Bruins over the next few weeks , the Canadians have a very tough schedule upcoming.
Yeah that definitely might be more ideal but I think that only happens if the Canadians survive a stretch where they play Winnipeg , Toronto, Nashville, Tampa . That stretch will make or break them .
