At least with Kuhlman there is at least some hope they might get a little offensive production.
Really? Yes he can skate 500 miles an hour but from what I've seen he handles the puck like its a grenade about to go off.

Why wouldn't he want to put one of the Bruins puck moving d-men out for the entire series at the cost of a simply minor penalty and 1 game suspension?
The NHL really needs to sit down and think about that, the incentives outweigh the punishment by a large margin and I firmly believe the Blues have had a talk about this exact situation internally, hence why they're injuring such an absurd amount of players.
Definitely in for Backes.
We will see... hope Bruce see things I don’t otherwise what a f.., bad move!Really? Yes he can skate 500 miles an hour but from what I've seen he handles the puck like its a grenade about to go off.

Can’t have an opinion? I just haven’t been impressed with their play the last couple games, honestly.
Speed kills.... I think we are at our best when we can force things with speed. Kuhlman definitely helps with that. Tonight the game plan has to be outskate/work the Blues and their forecheck. First goal is massive tonight.
I hate it... would prefer Backes in... imo it is a bad decision. Hope îm wrong and the kid makes the difference but i don’t see it. Hope the Bruins win.... bat man am I sad for Backes
If this team was playing well and losing, I'd be more confident. They're not giving any reason to feel they can turn this around and win.
AGRee with you... but can’t say I don’t feel good.I don't like this move one bit and not just because I feel bad for Backes, which I do.

Bruins will win 5-2 tonight. Relax folks.

What I'm afraid of is Kuhlman turning the puck over and over and over. I don't know what the hell Cassidy is thinking. And without Backes there's no one besides Chara to do any hitting and #33 is only at 50% right now. Again I don't know what the hell Butch is thinking.[/QUOT
In fairness, they did outshoot the Blues nearly 2:1 last game did they not?If this team was playing well and losing, I'd be more confident. They're not giving any reason to feel they can turn this around and win.

Hope you and I are mistaken and and that the Bruins are taking the right decision. We will see tonite. Hope for a good game from the Bruins.What I'm afraid of is Kuhlman turning the puck over and over and over. I don't know what the hell Cassidy is thinking.

I agree Sheppy ….hope some of the players read some of these posts here ………………………………….Lay it on the Line....Can’t have an opinion? I just haven’t been impressed with their play the last couple games, honestly.

Backes was hitting nobody s
I dislike the move and disagree with Bruce. But i hope the Bruins the best and hope the Bruins are correct and that I am wrong. THis team have barely won any games without Backes in. Hope Kulman will have success.so are you disagreeing with the move because you are sad for Backes or because you believe that the presence of Backes would play a significant role?
I saw him have an impact in 1 game vs the Leafs, (game 2), he had a few ok games afterwards but really, he`s done nothing.
