Roster Report

Shot Report​

Any one of those 3 could have first star, and I wouldn't complain. I loved that Pasta scored on a deflection, a breakaway, and a backhander, 2 of them non-usual Pasta goal types. That deflection was sick.

 

[DaBroons]

I've been saying most of the season that you can put Heinen on any line from 1 to 4 and he will contribute. Hopefully, he gets an extension. I expect he will b/c he and Monty go back a long way to U Denver.

 

[Dizzay]

no way boqvist comes out.
JVR is the obvious player to site.
Beecher cant sit either with those numbers. He probably moves up to 3rd line C

I like a Geekie-Beecher-Freddy 3rd line, that's pretty filthy actually. Nice call!

 

[UncleRico]

IMO they aren't competing for the same spot. A speedy open ice C/LW vs a big body RW there for board battles and net front presence.

Can’t have brazeau and maroon both on the 4th line though. Entirely too slow defensively

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Beecher 11-15 on the dot.......man the kid is good!

Going to be interesting to see when Maroon is healthy who stays in and who comes out?

Heinen-Zacha-Pasta looks like they're gonna be solidified as the top line right now.
Marchy-Coyle-Debrusk is line line 1B

Id do
JVR-Geekie-Freddy, that's a real heavy 3rd line
Maroon-Beecher-Brazeau
That leaves Lauko and Boqvist as the 13-14th forwards.
I can maybe see Boqvist in for Beecher but Beecher aint making that an easy decision. Maybe JVR sits now that we've seen Brazeau on the PP? Two beauties last night

I think it depends who they're playing. The lineup you've listed is solid and pretty heavy but lacks pace. Against Washington, for example, that would be fine. But against the Leafs or Panthers I'm absolutely playing at least one of Boqvist or Lauko to inject some speed. Just about getting the balance right depending on the opponent and situation. Nice thing is the Bruins have some options as to different ways they can go.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

It also amazing posters reminding everyone what our record is with the line up. As much as its great its also a reminder to anyone with a clue what generational goaltending can do. Never mind having two of them.

For an example put our goaltending in the Ottawa net and that team becomes an instant wagon.

Its also amazing how these GM's have jobs paying these stiff goaltenders the money they do.

80% of net minders in todays game are gross

The importance of good goaltending is undeniable. But in regards to the GMs, your criticism is only valid if there are good goalies out there not being used. If there is a dearth of good netminders, and I'd say the general standard does seem to be down slightly at present, then there's only so much top talent to go around and GMs can only use the best available. Some are going to miss out. Boston are extremely fortunate to have two top guys.

tomorrow will be a good test.
i think bruins play so much better against the good teams
last nite was horrible. if not for ullmark that game is like a 2 goal lead minimum for ott after 2 periods.

Bring it on.

I can’t remember the Rangers ever beating the Bruins without a superb performance from their ‘tender. I think the Bruins win this one easily.

That's always been one of his strong points as a player and a big reason why I was glad to see him back on the Bs.

Grizz will be in, though, so they will probably lose due to his numerous mistakes

Really? Only have to think back to November - Quick was ok in net for NY but gave up 4 goals on 31 shots, not exactly stellar, but it didn't matter as the Bruins coughed up 7. Even in the much tighter affair the following month Shesterkin was fine but Swayman saw a lot more rubber. So I think it's fair to say that the Bruins were competitive in both games but ultimately simply outplayed.

However I do think we can beat them. Have to be tighter and quicker to react defensively, and can't get into a shooting match which is almost certainly bound to fail. Good puck management, put some pressure back on their D, and hopefully good things will happen. Should be a great game.

You’ve obviously been paying closer attention than I, my friend.

But be that as it may, I like the Bruins’ chances against the Rangers.

Rangers have lost 5 of their last 6 against playoff teams

 

[SwayHeyKid]

I think Carolina, Boston and Florida are the class of the east with Carolina vs FLA/BOS a lock conference final

hes been playing better, but should be on 3rd pairing. he is going to get murdered on pairing 1 in playoffs

 

[goldnblack]

Who was the last NHL winger to take all the faceoffs for his center? Anyone know?

It's fun that Beecher is doing that on the Boqvist line.

The Bruins aren’t a lock for anything.

The Bruins aren’t a lock for anything.

I was waiting for someone else to post that because I was about to.

TB isn't even a lock for the playoffs yet but I wouldn't be shocked if they were in the ECF. . .

 

[The don godfather]

I keep thinking that's not possible.

Then I remember the EK65 deal, lol

I keep sway no way. Hes a franchise goalie.
