BRUINS GDT Game #62 Boston Bruins at New York Islanders. UBS Arena Elmont, NY 7:30 PM

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Serious question, is Lindholm this much of a difference in our defensive lines? Since he’s been out, we’ve been brutal on the back end.

Makes a huge difference to this crew. Tipping point between being okay and dog piss.

 

[smithformeragent]

Anyone able to know what caused it? Did it look bad?

They showed his last two shifts during the intermission. Looked like his knee/leg went into the boards.

Came out for one more shift and appeared to be skating normally.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Heinen, Coyle, Pastrnak is our top line?

Cannot decide if that is worse for the coach or GM.

 

[22Brad Park]

nice try Pasta no puck luck

IMO, not a factor, Hampus has been minimally effective recently

 

[SPV]

They showed his last two shifts during the intermission. Looked like his knee/leg went into the boards.

Came out for one more shift and appeared to be skating normally.

Hopefully something minor and precautionary to pull him for the night

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Marchand, Boqvist, Lauko?

Again uncertain if this is worse for coach or GM.

 

[BTO]

Rempe and Reeves just went at it in the NYR-leafs game. Can we trade for both of them at the TDL? Whaddya say, Don (and don)?

 

[The Hajj]

Mercy killing? Jack is done for the night

 

[xStanleyCupsFor]

Heinen, Coyle, Pastrnak is our top line?

Cannot decide if that is worse for the coach or GM.

You still look at the lines?

 

[The Murph]

They showed his last two shifts during the intermission. Looked like his knee/leg went into the boards.

Came out for one more shift and appeared to be skating normally.

Hopefully precautionary.

 

[SPV]

And Stripes is on after Caddyshack. Bonus.

 

[Boston Bruno]

Mercy killing.. ouch

 

[smithformeragent]

Marchand, Boqvist, Lauko?

Again uncertain if this is worse for coach or GM.

What else can you do?

They took the cap penalties for the Bergeron and Krejci contracts.

They overextended last season for one last crack at the thing.

They had to let all the guys they dealt for walk and fill out the roster with the Island of Misfit Toys.

 

[smithformeragent]

And Stripes is on after Caddyshack. Bonus.

Son of beach.

Sheet.

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

World needs ditch diggers too

 

[bruinsfan1970]

How many goals will Matthews score on Monday?

Over under 1.5?

Prolly none because it seems when the Bruins play better teams they seem to play better but with this team one never knows.

 

[northeastern]

IMO, not a factor, Hampus has been minimally effective recently

I think I disagree, he hasn't been great this year but having him in the lineup moves everyone else down, I'd rather a healthy Lindholm eating minutes then anyone else (Mac excluded obviously he's the horse of the D).

 

[NeelyOrr]

The benching Neely game were worse. And the Dave Lewis Bruins too. But this is pretty depressing too

The benching of Neely was when Sweeney was the coach.

 

[GloveSave1]

If you’re DS you have two choices…

Trade Linus and fill two big pieces now

Trade Linus for picks

But that’s really it.

 

[The Hajj]

And Stripes is on after Caddyshack. Bonus.

I want to be the Big Toe

 

[SPV]

The benching of Neely was when Sweeney was the coach.

I think it was Kasper.

 

[22Brad Park]

Rempe and Reeves just went at it in the NYR-leafs game. Can we trade for both of them at the TDL? Whaddya say, Don (and don)?

Reeves was chasing him around at end of a shift.Poor kid already fought 3 times since he arrived and has 2 blackeyes from fighting Deslaurier.So anyway he went at it and now 4 fights.

 

[The Hajj]

Bruins need the Urban Assault Vehicle

I don’t think they’re going to get a ton for him, unfortunately.

There are more goalies potentially available than there are potential landing spots.

I’d deal him for the right return, but you’re probably better off waiting until the draft when there are more potential suitors with teams rebuilding who could benefit from a year of stability in net.
