You thrust your pelvis, huh!
I was at the game last night. (Friend won tickets before I get any accusations)
The Bruins looked terrible after the first 5 minutes. Rask and the top line (yes I know they scored twice) looked especially bad. Marchand was a turnover machine and the score could've been much worse. Their "vaunted" power play could've made the 2017-18 Oilers blush.
I'm expecting they'll bounce back tonight. Was hoping we'd face Rask and not Halak.

The Bouch is Loosh.!
I hope our depth takes Khaira Business.
I hope they Reid that second line Drai, and don't Pul them.
9-0 Oilers. McDavid with an 8 point night.

?? Not a chance that third pair is happening. More like Garrison-Bouchard. Or Nurse-Bouchard, Russell-Benning I suppose.
Is Bouchard drawing back in for Benning?
I think Garrison needs to be on a really short leash. I wouldn't dump him after a few poor games but a few more and they need to cut bait and call up Gravel.
Ok, I see it's Bouchard-Benning. I actually prefer Garrison-Bouchard, don't like pairing Bouchard with another struggling young player with one being on their off side.
We are playing against a backup that we often struggle with. Boston got spanked last night so they are going to come out hot. We struggle with starts all season so far. We have no defensive match to Boston's top line.Ever the optimist
I could be completely wrong.
Am I wrong in thinking Bear is a better option?
I know 2 rookie dmen is generally bad news, but this is a weaksauce D, and Bear/Bouch are better than the lot of depth guys we're carrying.
This may be he game that gets Bouchard sent down after having to try and carry Bennings ECHL ass

Lol you don't think McDavid is better than Gagner? 11 points and he shuts up leaf sittler worshippers forever.
I honestly think both Bouchard and Bear in the lineup is best for the team but coaches, this one in particular, has a vet preference. Both in the lineup would also allow Nurse and Russell to be on separate pairings which would balance out the D and also maintain a lefty-righty combo on each pairing with all on their natural side and give an offensive threat to each pairing. It just makes sense IMO outside of the inexperience thing.
I don't know how much longer they can let Benning play through his mistakes. His pairing is actively costing the team games, just about sunk them last game as well. Hopefully he plays better at home and Todd matches his pairing against the weakest lines. I wonder which of Benning or Bouchard is playing the left side.
Actually, I'm assuming they go back to Benning on the 2nd pairing now that I think about it. Ugh
