GDT: POSTPONED - Bruins vs Addawah in Boston Monday 7pm EST NESN & 98.5 The HUB

Looks like Marchand's out, Bergeron back I between 17 and 19. Campbell on left with Krejci and Jagr. Horton down to line three.

I like it

Me too, Lucic and Seguin work good together.

I'm hoping that when Marchand is back he's on a line with Jagr and either Bergeron or Krejci is centering it.

Interesting ... a little surprised its Campbell and not Paille up on "L1", but Soupy has been good.

 

[bbruins3]

I want Lucic to sit.He has been the worst Bruin out there for a long time.Either hurt or not interested.

 

[Alicat]

I understand that's what Claude told the media...saying he's young, tired etc.

But to me, it was a message....he's done this in the past to Seguin, Kessel.

IMO, if he really wanted to give him rest...he wouldn't of tried playing him with Z. He did that to give the kid more confidence...but it didn't pan out so much and Bart was making less mistakes.

Adam Jones is that you?

It was rest.

Alright...I'll say it was a rest.

Hope this proves me wrong down the stretch.

He's played 71 games+WJC+training camp+WJC camp in August and December.

He's played a lot of hockey and the Bruins are going to lean on him down the stretch and in the playoffs.

 

[Artemis]

He's not eligible back until seven days after the concussion, correct?

Concussion protocols aren't NHL rules, AFAIK. That said, the Bruins will certainly be cautious and adhere to them.

 

[QuattroFTW]

So how about you let us beat you just this one time tonight so we can make the playoffs, and then we"ll make sure we stay in 6th so you play Toronto and lay a beating? Cool?

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

Interesting ... a little surprised its Campbell and not Paille up on "L1", but Soupy has been good.

He definitely deserves it. He's been playing like 20 minutes a night the last few games and has picked up a few points.

I'm glad to see Horton on the third. Him and Lucic have both been bad, but I think Lucic is hurt while he's just disinterested

 

[Morris Wanchuk]

I understand Campbell has picked up some points by playing with good talent... but its time to put him back on the 4th line where he belongs.

100% agreed.

I think Jagr will have a huge night tonight.

From : http://www.csnne.com/blog/bruins-talk/jagr-bruins-lament-missed-scoring-chances

“It was just one of those nights, eh? I feel like every time we were out on the ice we had a scoring chance, but it just didn’t happen,†said Jagr, who now has seven points (1 goal, 6 assists) in six games since being dealt to Boston along with a plus-3 rating. “Sometimes I was too tired and I missed. On the 5-on-3 that was just a good save. I put it high too, but it was one of those nights.

“If I score on that one then I probably score four [goals]. A goal is a goal. We need to score goals. I need to work on it. I need to be a better goal-scorer, I guess. Some of those chances I feel like maybe I was too tired. Maybe a little hook and I lost it, and when I came from the corners either I missed the net or the goalie stopped it. We created a lot of chances from the boards, and that’s what I liked. Looch is pretty good. He can play one-on-one and find you.â€

 

[SPV]

I like the lines, but would prefer to see Peverley & Campbell swapped. But so nice to see Bergeron's name in the mix!!!

 

[Danton Heineken]

It's sad because Jagr is the only one on this team who DOESN'T need to be better.

 

[BruinsFan64]

I would also include Paille in that statement.

 

[livewell68]

It's sad because Jagr is the only one on this team who DOESN'T need to be better.

Sure he's been playing great but I think he has been snakebitten, last game he could have had a 6 Pts game easily.

The way he's been playing, he should be averaging 2 PPG with the Bruins.

I say he pots 2 goals tonight and adds a helper.

 

[Greek_physique]

Amen!
Just imagine if we never acquired him

Julien is going to realize how stupid he was to not put Krejci and Jagr together from the get-go.

3 points for each of them. Hopefully one of those goals they create is a PP.

 

[Confound]

We're in for another snooze fest, usually we blow Ottawa out but even with their dismantled team they still give us a fight every game.

I'll say Horton pots two in tonight, hopefully that gets him going even more.

 

[lopey]

Tonight is the breakout game we have been waiting for. They play a full 60

I actually hope that doesn't happen because if it does, you'll see Lucic-Krejci-Horton back together tomorrow.

These lines have a lot of potential when the team is fully healthy and you can swap in Marchand & Soderberg and take out Dogman & Thornton. Let's go with them.

I don't think Lucic and Krejci will get separated, especially with the playoffs right around the corner. They usually work well together in the playoffs and if anyone would get bumped it would be Horton. Who knows though what Julien has up his sleeve, you never know what crazy line combos we'll see.

Horton seems like he would help our third line out in the playoffs.

Lucic-Krejci-Jagr
Marchand-Bergeron-Seguin
Soderberg-Peverley-Horton
Paille-Kelly-Campbell

That gives you three balanced scoring lines along with a great checking line that could give opposing teams problems with that speed and grit with Paille, Kelly and Campbell.

I see other people having Kelly on the third line above Peverley, to me I would switch it around and have Peverley be the third line Center. He has experience like Kelly but is also capable of bringing more offense to that third line than Kelly would. That fourth line is also a great shutdown line with Kelly and Campbell being two reliable centers that can take key defensive faceoffs.

 

[NastyNate17]

Hopefully tuukka can post a shutout tonight cuz I don't see us scoring much in this one.. Then again maybe the boys will surprise me go B's!

The lineup is so many levels of win.. I would go out there and say its better than '11.

Plus, if people are getting their panties in a bunch about what looks like a Kelly demotion... that line of Kelly, Campbell, and Paille would likely get more ice time than the Horton line.

Plus, it saves Seguin, Bergeron, and Marchand from top checking roles.

Dropping this here in addition to the injury thread, just because.

Boston Bruins ‏@NHLBruins Marchand joins B's out on the ice. First time full team has skated together in a long time. 15 F, 9 D, 2 goalies ^CS pic.twitter.com/QsOniVPi5K

Nice. Thanks for the good news

Hope to see Bergy tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO
