The current forecast has the bulk of the storm being more north of where the Panther play, and shouldn't hit til Wednesday morning. They'll have time to play the game then fly out immediately after.

Can we expect more offense from the back end this year? Give Lohrei the green light ?
It seems like the Bruins like him there better than they do Zacha. I think @PlayMakers was right all along when he said years ago that Frederic was not trying to be a bruiser but a Charlie Coyle style player. And if you heard Frederic on the recent Morning Bru, he specifically mentioned Coyle as someone he looks up to who is a good teacher of the game. Imagine if Trent grows into that? I love it.

I'm not sure about that second line. A lot falls on Geekie and I'm not overly confidant on that. Marchand aging, it's not exactly a scoring threat line. I would have preferred they give Freddy a shot in Geekie's spot but we shall see how it plays out. Third line could be solid.
Zadorov also ending up on the bottom pairing not what I expected but that does make it the best bottom pairing in hockey.
I have high hopes for this team, but scoring goals might be a problem.

Geekie and Debrusk were separated by one point last year, almost identical toi and PP toi, 4 extra games for Jake
I think they hope he is able to build on last year and be the Debrusk replacement
Looking at some of the forecasts, I’m hard pressed to think this game should not be postponed for everyone’s safety. Let the Bruins come home now, plan for a later date. Much as I want real hockey tomorrow, I don’t want players, media crews and fans endangered for our entertainment. Live to fight another day.
With Governor DeSantis calling for residents to evacuate this is hardly the time to be flying in to play a game tomorrow when Milton is supposed to strike Florida.
The Bruins are already there, but run the risk of getting trapped if all airports close. Selfishly, I want them to get home safely for Thursday’s home opener. Unselfishly, I want everyone to be a safe as possible ( so cancel now and make a plan to reschedule)
The bottom six may score few goals total but the size and raw intimidation factor alone is worth many times that. About time!
12 shots on goal is acceptable this game if they have the shots on Bennett and Tkachuk.
Apples and oranges. Debrusk is tiers ahead of Frederic/Geekie type role players in the raw natural talent area which is noticeable in a top 6 role.
The Bruins will miss Debrusk more than we believe. The question is whether Zadorov on defense equals or improves the roster overall vs Debrusk with the similar contracts in my mind.
Orlando International is right in the crosshairs of the hurricane's path and they announced that they're ceasing operations 9am Wednesday morning. They should have plenty of time to fly out after the game Tuesday night from Ft Lauderdale without getting into harm's way. I more think it should be postponed so the people that live there will be encouraged to evacuate if the track changes....this ain't their first rodeo with major hurricanes though, so what do I know
I agree with you 100%.
Just get the boys home safe, the game is not important

DeBrusk had one more point than Geekie last season. He easily replaces DeBrusk.
Now do playoff stats...
No comparison.
Either way. Geekie and JDB are two totally different players. Can't expect Geekie to play like Jake. Gotta let him play his game. I won't speak for @UConn126 but, I'm curious and interested to see which players step up in secondary scoring area.
The lines were never set last year, so I expect this year to see a lot of movement and trying different things from Monty.
New season. New players. Same goal.

Yes you are right but Bruins have not released him from his PTO last I looked.They will find a way to free up cash.

Florida is a large state ... Sunrise is about 3 1/2 - 4 hours away from Tampa. if the storm hits anywhere near the Tampa area Sunrise should avoid severe weather.
That said.... if the storm moves further south and makes landfall around Port Charlotte, Fort Meyers and depending how large Milton grows, tropical storm force winds could be an issue.
