Happy for McMuffin. I would have liked to see Merk with Zacha and Pasta but he really didn’t earn his spot. Unfortunately he didn’t do enough to earn a longer look. Hope he continues to work hard in Providence.

Brick was saying Merk looked good and again they refuse to give him more than 2 Lousey games. this stinks
Only looked good on the limited pp time, Has zero interest in fighting for loose pucks and bailed a bunch of times in his end on the ice.
Goes against the new mantra of being hard to play against.

Is this our Heinen replacement? Doesn't seem remarkable in any discernible way, but is just the right type of compliment to a line to make it work?
His play in Boston has always impressed me. And I've been ever-disappointed in his output in Providence.
I hope McLaughlin sticks.

Huh he shot it at the goalie twice in the Pp and whiffed on a shot. Thought he overall stunk. Brickley is more unbearable than Edwards last year IMO.
McLaughlin is hot in Prov nothing wrong with rewarding recent performance.
Joe Sacco’s message to Bruins? Keep it simple … and create some ‘chaos’
Joe Sacco's emphasis as Bruins interim head coach is keeping things simple — while creating chaos in the offensive zone.

Mark Kastelic ‘changed the tide’ for Bruins by way of several punches on Thursday
Brad Marchand credited Mark Kastelic for giving the Bruins the spark they needed off of two fights in Thursday's win over Utah.

Leave Zacha right where he is, never should have moved out of center after last year. Please give the Poitras thoughts a rest, there is a reason he is in Providence, someday he might make it, just not his time.
I hope moderators don't mind, but I will repost
In the Montgomery/Sacco thread.
Sacco is approaching the circumstance in precisely the right way.
Begin where you are. Go from there.
Keep the puck out of your
. Provide defensive layers. Chip passes out, in transition, rather than stretch passes or fancy Dan moves.
Play hard. Be hard to play against. Keep it simple.
Jettison quality over quantity thinking. Or rather, overthinking.
Put the puck on the net every chance you get and good things will happen.
Pretty simple, huh?
A recipe for white knuckle victories. Hard fought. Hard won.
Scintillating entertainment? Probably not.
But I will take this approach all day long in contrast to the mess the Bruins will hopefully leave behind.
They might even make the playoffs!
Take heart, Boston Bruins fans,

The only Zegras hope is that if he came here and turned into an actual complete hockey player, do want to make that trade on "HOPE" and is 5.25-million-dollar contract, just asking.Shhhh...your popping the Zegras hope and thats all there is to talk about for trades right now.....
It's probably not the best strategy for every crew, but with a goal-starved team like this that is chock full of guys playing below grade, I prefer the quantity over quality approach.I hope moderators don't mind, but I will repost

Take heart, Boston Bruins fans,
When there's no play to be had, hurl the puck in the direction of the net. It has to hit something. You do it enough times and there's bound to be a garbage rebound or 2 that go the right way. Then go from there.
I seen it mentioned before but I do see signs pointing to coaching style. I feel this roster as constructed needs to play a more conservative and defensive style like Julien did than a more offensive open style that Montgomery used. If Sacco is more defensive based I can see this team thrive much more
Do the Boston Bruins Need a Winnipeg Jets Type Exorcism?
The Boston Bruins are in need of exorcism. The first part of that exorcism was in the form of head coach Jim Montgomery. Boston fired their coach on Tuesday, appointing Joe Sacco as the interim head coach.

As much as I hate to be a buzz kill, McLaughlin is simply not good. He may give us a good game or two, but it won’t be too long before he’s sent back down and we try someone else. Viel at least gave us a spark. McLaughlin will not. Sorry.

McLaughlin is just "a guy" to me. I don't see much from him.
To me he's Generic Player 32.

Viel gave one of the teams a spark, at least. Viel can be PJ Stock on a shit team, but he ain’t an answer. Not saying McLauglin is either.

I like Viel but I agree. He's a call up at best. With Kastelic in, I don't think you'll see Viel in the lineup.
They have a mean forward playing the best hockey of his career and a big, mean D-man back there too.
If only Frederic could find his balls.
