Nuck fans want him moved up. Petterson's best game was yesterday. You should see how much they hate him. Jake started off with him and according to them drove that line.
They're very happy with him and his hits. He found his physical game again so far which is nice to see. After the Kadri hit, he never played that way again.
His speed is missed on this team. But I think him leaving was the best for him.

Disagree. They went really big, but also too slow that is killing this team, not JDB absence. Not to mention lack of skill, which was a previous problem as well.
Speed and Skill is what JDB has. Bruins are lacking both at the moment. But I don't think it would of made a difference if he was on this current roster. The entire team lacks chemistry and feels off.
Watching other NHL teams vs the Bruins is like night and day.
No speed, no identifiable system, no urgency no imagination, little to no hitting, poor chemistry/teamwork, thin leadership beyond Marchand, lack of passion, intensity void.
I expect more of the same, even with Sacco or Leach as coach because right now they aren't part of the solution, and may be part of the problem.
Defensively lost, offensively clueless.
This team needs a coach who can spell it out for them.
My gut feeling is that what they have behind the bench in any
capacity is not the answer. If the men behind the bench had a
clue, I think Montgomery would've welcomed their input.
They can keep Monty till the end of the season, possibly miss the playoffs,
trade assets at the TDL if all goes south, and come back with
a proven guy like Mike Sullivan or Torts if either becomes available, Gerard Gallant is available right now but if he can't bring in his own assistants then what's the point!?!

I disagree , I feel JDB's skill set is being clearly missed on the PP,PK and 5on5.
I am not calling him a player that can carry a team, but his absents has left a void

I agree Gord, this team has no idea what to do right now, it's like a bunch of beer leaguers out for a casual skate. You can send down Jones and Tufte, sign Johnson and call up Lysell, but will that be enough? You can't trade everyone, although they will need a couple deals soon before the season starts getting away from them. The obvious choice is going to be canning Monty, he is just more one of the boys type of coach and right now that is not what this team needs. They can try Sacco I guess, but the best thing as you say hire a vet coach that will light a fire under them and hold all responsible, including your top players. Honestly right now they only guys I would be hesitant to trade would be Swayman, McAvoy, H. Lindholm and Pasta, anyone else I would trade in the right deals.

Yes I agree but getting elias lindholm and zadorov by dumping debrusk and others I do that blindfolded anytime of the day.

It’s far too early to panic. But I have to admit I’ve developed a twitch.
