Surprised to see Lauko dropped to the 4th line

Damn .. what happened?

Surprised to see Lauko dropped to the 4th line

Damn .. what happened?

Lauko has been average at best and has yet to post a point since coming back from injury, yet he plays every PP and also plays top 2 line minutes. IMO he’s where he belongs right now. I like the Tralmaks move to Hughes line - will be interesting to see how he does…I’m guessing 2 goals tonite!
Also like to see Hall getting some back to back games in after being noticeable the last couple. Looks more comfortable at C - just needs more oppty from coaches as he gets no special teams and rarely sees ice in final 10 mins of game.
Asselin has been given every oppty but has slid down the roster - has good skill and grit, but it’s time for other players to get a chance - I.e Filipe. Hoping for a big win tonite!!!

Was impressed with Sean Day. Has matured quite a bit, looked lean, too. Someone might score with him.

Man I remember when he was an absolute stud heading into the OHL / kid was untouchable for HB. Hope he finds his way in the NHL soon!

Thanks for the breakdown. Hope Lauko can turn it around. I love the kids personality/enthusiasm. And speed.

Another sleepy effort.

3-2 Providence in the 3rd five and change left.

 

[GarbageGoal]

Now going to OT. 3-3 outshot 34-28.

 

[GarbageGoal]

Fogerty with the goal in OT, 4-3 win.

Watching Monday's game
Hartford fighting for their playoff lives have Bobby Trivigno and Brandon Scanlin playing on special teams
Meanwhile Providence has zero new players in the lineup
Game itself was ok, 2 points is 2 points

Does Koppanen have the skating to play a bottom 6 role on Boston? It seems like he has worked hard to improve and the Bruins have kept him around for some reason.

Finally some Koppa love....

He's improved dramatically each offseason since being drafted.

If he continues to improve similarly every year, he should be ready for the NHL by 2047.

I bet he gets a NHL game in before Lauko

Damning Joona with faint praise?

I snorted.

How has Steen played since being sent down at the beginning of February? I thought he was playing well during his limited time in Boston. Surprised he hasn't gotten another look over the past 2 months, especially with Pastrnak now out. Seems like a better fit on the 2nd line than McLaughlin.
