I would not sign Toffoli - 4 years ago yes I’m past him

imagine land

Zacha - Lindholm- Pastrnak
Marchand - Coyle - Heinen/Geek
Heinen/Ostapchuk- Fred-Geek/Lysell
Beech/Osta- boqvist- Braz/lysell
Merkulov
Maroon

Lindholm - McAvoy
Chychrun- Carlo
Lohrei - Peeke

Ostapchuk & Lysell were often linemates and Bruins by extension watching Lysell know Ostapchuk very well
****Lysell needs to get legit shot ****
Lysell also looked pretty good with Marchand and Coyle during the preseason last year.

How many other people have been checking this thread every 15 minutes to see if Ullmark has been traded yet? At least we have Dom giving us updates, otherwise we would have to be reading about how the Bruins need top six grit, bottom six grit, defensive grit, and a top line center (preferably with grit). Oh, and they also have to be fast, young, and skilled, and we can’t give up anything of value to acquire them.

Ideally Lysell makes team and plays a better in NHL like Brazeau did

We need to know - I’m optimistic on Lysell

Hey, Jarren Duran is trending to top 5 MVP so why the heck can’t Lysell be a full time second liner

@DominicT I need to stock up on ground beef but only 80% lean is on sale this week and my family prefers 90%.

Should I just buy the 80% now or do you think 90% will be on sale soon?

TIA
80/20

I just feel that folks here are getting extremely anxious (me too) but I'm trying to walk away from the computer and find other things to think about.
Trying to save some from

I understand that fan is short for fanatic. But it's a game.

In the event, OT, I saw High Anxiety in the theater. I believe 1975. Not my favorite Mel Brooks but I love Mel.

Embarrassed to admit that I've never seen Blazing Saddles in its entirety.

My very cool sister Patter treated me and my brother Michael to Young Frankenstein ('74), still one of my all time favorites.

The Producers is also effing hilarious.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming..

... just my opinion ... I've been doing the carnivore diet since last October and prefer the fattier cuts of beef. I usually get a ground beef split of 73/27 and nothing higher than 80/20. Beef fat has gotten a bad rap ... your body needs fat and beef fat does not make one fat ... in fact it has many health benefits. But this isn't the forum for this discussion ... look it up do the research.

Great D and goaltending. Not enough toughness and skill up front to win 16 in the spring for me

Someone knows this fan base, and this board, very well.

I'll certainly cop to the call out.

Touche, ✔️✌️😌

Do you still have any hope for Hertl being a Bruin. Such a nice contract

Is this personal opinion or from a source who’s a shot caller at Shaws?
Haha my daughter worked all thru high school and college summers at Shaws

I think my mother went 80-85 %

I’ll ask @Saxon Eric he’s my combo prospects/cooking guy

The most emotion I’ve ever seen him was when I told him I made pancakes out of a box

My list of Bruins I campaigned for

Stone- Vegas
Eichel - Vegas
Hertl - Vegas
Hanifin - Vegas

I have noticed a pattern

I wonder if the Bruins will roll the dice and pencil in Poitras as the 2nd line center. It would help with figuring out their salary situation as they look for free agents this summer. Top 6 center, top 6 winger, top 4 dman, 4th liner physical presence.


Lindholm - 8
Chychrun - 4.5
Duhaime - 1.5
Swayman - 8

If these are the plays to be made, Bruins are going to have to dip into the bargain bin for their 2nd line winger ( Heinen, Lysell ) to be under the cap


Zacha -- XXXXX -- Pasta

Marchand -- Poitras -- XXXXX

Frederic -- Coyle -- Geekie

XXXXX -- Beecher -- Brazeau

extras, callups: Lysell, Lauko, Merkulov


XXXXX -- McAvoy

Lindholm -- Carlo

Lohrei -- Peeke

extras, callups: Wotherspoon, Regula


Swayman

He went all of last season without any issues, so maybe he's good. Who ever really knows? I am sure the Bruins due their medical due diligence on the player and, for something like knees, would be reasonably confident he's fit. Concussions are different because the brain is a strange thing and far less well-understood than the knee. It is a concern though.
I agree , its the NHL there are injury concerns about any player that's signed.

All the flavors in the fat - folks who prefer 90+ probably only drink clear liquor too.
