I'd switch JDB and Marchand's roles for a bit.
JDB has the explosiveness that Marchand doesn't seem to have right now. I'd rather he have the puck at the half boards and he can skate and try to create with his legs or shoot.
Not sure if it will work, but it's worth a try.
Mrs. 103, my friends, and I had a great time at the game last night. I would have liked a 15-0 shutout, but I’ll settle for a 4-2 victory.
I’d like to know why there wasn’t a penalty called on Montreal when Bert got high-sticked in the face. Anyone?
The Habs were real chippy last night and definitely wanted that game. As much as their fans want to tank for Bedard, I think some of the Canadiens players are a little embarrassed at holding up the bottom of the division. They tried to flex a little, but Marchand, Greer, and even Swayman had other ideas. Swayman was ready to throw down! His stock went way up with me. He’s going to have a fight one of these days. I can feel it. Jordan Binnington and the Blues are still on the schedule… Nice to know the Bruins aren’t going to take anyone’s shit and are setting a tone for the playoffs.
I also loved Swayman shooting for the empty net. Very aggressive.
I was somewhat concerned over the lack of shots; difficulty entering the Canadiens’ zone; and overpassing, but overall I was very entertained.
PS: anyone who thinks this rivalry isn’t a rivalry anymore should tell the players that. Sure looked like some bad blood out there to me.
PPS: I found this in my FB Bruins album. This was taken several years ago, but my ursine brothers and sisters north of the border will appreciate it!

I would even go with 4 forwards, have Lindholm on PP1 and Orlov on PP2. Mac is such a great defender, we can maximize his defensive and 5x5 abilities by having him less consumed on the special teams.

Everyone talking about the PP and I saw a couple of issues on the PK. If the plan is to have our single defensemen to cover two players on the opposite side of the crease as they did with Zboril covering the top of the crease and Orlov playing off, we will start giving up a lot more goals. We seemed to do the same thing with Orlov taking the top of the crease on the first goal they scored. I get that McAvoy was flowing out to the puck, but it pulled Orlov away from the crease. I know, people are going to bring up who good our penalty kill has been this season. I get it, but that was concerning.
I still want a bigger body at the front of the crease on the PP. We need to have a screen for the goalie.

at this point, i want to balance the time PP1 and PP2 get a bit, not 50/50 but like 57/43. PP2 hasn't been anything to write home about, but PP1 really needs to pull their heads out of their asses. I'd also like to roll PP2 out first once in a while, just to change things up. Especially at home, maybe get a better match-up or something. I agree with having Lindy and Orlov on the points and 4 forwards. Unless there's a faceoff with ~20 or less left, then get Mac out there as well.

It's a great day following a win over the Habs. It's made even greater looking back at how every time the Habs tried to take liberties on a B the Bs responded with even greater force. Hit Bergy, get taken down and beaten by Brad, with the stripes being your only savior. Then later get greenlighted by Bergy. Snow job Sway, fine, get taken down hard by Chucky, Want to slash and crosscheck Greer before the faceoff...cool. Eat a stick then try to find a good dentist.
This team gets it. The coaches get it. This is Bruins hockey. Win and take no prisoners.

Great post. Too bad I can only “like” it once.

Now that you mention it, yes he does kind of look like him. @TD Charlie were you at the game last night?!?!?

So, we're cool with posting the freeway finger now? The last time I posted this it got deleted.......still not sure why. I mean, who 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯'𝘵 want to let the good people of Poutineville know their team is the most bestest team ever.

If the NHL had any brains they would drop Bedard right in Arizona. Montreal, Chicago etc fans are showing up no matter what happens with the team. If that kid ends up in Montreal the fix was in.
I wouldn’t worry about that.
They (the Canadiens and the Montreal media) will find a way to ruin his career and make his life miserable. They’ll botch the rebuild and Bedard will take less money to get the hell out of there and go somewhere else.
I think Montreal isn’t a place most players want to play for numerous reasons, anyway. I can’t speak for anyone, but unless I had no choice, Montreal is probably the last place I’d want to play if I were a player. I’m not just saying that because I’m a Bruins fan or because of any supposed language issues. I’d play in Quebec City (if they had a team) in a heartbeat.
We have no idea how good Bedard will be when he gets to the NHL. But don’t panic if he ends up in Montreal. They’ll ruin it somehow.

Man o man had the TSN feed yesterday and that made for a rough watch.
Dave Poulin isn't quite sure of anything. Ever. Penalty warranted on that play Dave? Not quite sure. Why did this or that happen Dave? I'm not quite sure. The one thing I'm sure of is Dave Poulin is as bland as it gets.
Plus the distinguished homerism. Not Jack's low level of blind homerism - being somewhat sarcastic here - it's distinguished. Had to mute several times.
But the worst was the production value. You can always mute the above, but more than half a dozen times we missed faceoffs and/or significant sequences because they were showing highlights or a montage or anything but the f***ing game. They missed the whole sequence that led to Krejci's goal because the camera was hypnotized by the puck scrum along the half boards. TSN production crews are too used to working at curling pace now.

I tend to agree with you about Bedard going to Montreal. Obviously part of the reason is that I don't want that team to have nice things, but on a bigger level I want to see Bedard be successful. I haven't been this excited about a prospect entering the NHL since Crosby. I love watching elite players, no matter what team they play for. I want Bedard to go to a team where he can flourish and become the generational player I feel he has every chance of becoming.
I hear you there. Connor Bedard deserves a chance to flourish. He’s innocent in all this.

Wore mine to work because I'm surrounded by Flyers fans and one Oiler fan.
Every time one of them looked at me disapprovingly, I stretched my arms out and started singing our goal song.
Good time to be a Bruins fan, indeed.
Bedard needs to go out west. Far away!
He’s from BC. Vancouver sounds good to me. He can be Seattle’s problem.
I had to mute it, I couldn't stand it anymore. They are buffoons.
Hopefully Matthews will sign with Arizona and that will help them and we won't have to see him very often, so sick of hearing about him. I am pretty sure the fix is in every year.
This guy is famous (maybe infamous?) around Boston during hockey season. 98.5 has interviewed him a few times
