By the way, did you guys know that Thomas Harley was born in New York? Kid's a traitor. Put him through the boards

Team US showed no interest in him, while Canada did. His parents are from Canada and he has dual citizenship. Much like how Brett Hull wound up playing for the US.

Through the boards!

I see a ton of Tuch as I have ESPN+ and I am a BRUINS fan born and raised in Boston. Watched plenty of Tuch at BC, fine player but he has peaked. Those metrics are meaningless because you can't use "metrics" on what you think will happen in the future. It’s obviously opinion based.

How about counting stats if you don’t like metrics

Lol, it doesn't matter we are talking about the future. Right now Knies is on an 82 game pace for 30-31 goals in a year he has had to deal with a concussion.

Its my expectation he will hit 35 goals next year and become a very good Power Forward alongside Matthews. I'm leaving it there and we will see what happens the rest of this year.

Harley never showed any interest in playing for the U.S.

As a Pens fan who is usually cursing McAvoys name when the Bruins play the Pens it's nice to have him on my team for once lol.

He was great last night. I love how on edge he plays. Does a lot of borderline dirty stuff and you know that stuff drives the other team crazy

Isn't the first player to play for a different country than where he was born and won't be the last.

Need TD Garden to replicate this energy

Haha.. the people with the sparklers would probably be thrown in jail for 10 years today

Was thinking the same thing. Different times for sure

I see a lot of talk about players not here. For f*** sake, let's focus on the guys we have here for tomorrow instead of imaginary scenarios that are meaningless.

We are finally at a point where the top end depth has exceeded 1996 levels. We will continue to be leaving off lots of talented players from our pool. The group brought has looked to be the exact right choice. Proud of these dudes for how quickly they have come together, though many have played a bunch prior for WJC and USNDP.

Larkin is deserving of this. Same as Nelson. All the guys who have answered the call for WC's and of course for Johnny Hockey. Play hard tomorrow don't let up an inch. Long break between tomorrow and Thursday so give it all you got!

Sure thing Mr Knies

Sure thing Mr Knies

My pleasure Mr Tuch.

 

[ColbyChaos]

Get real Makar, Theodore, AP will all be in Italy next year and are way more
impactful than just Hughes, do better.

Yeah 36 year old pietro is going to be such a force next year

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Yeah 36 year old pietro is going to be such a force next year

I'm talking about all three of them in total. Not by himself compared to Hughes.

I'd like to apologize to Mike Sullivan, maybe the penguins just stink. He's managed the line combos, d pairings, ice times, and matchups to near perfection so far.

Both these statements warm my heart.

I think that's near definite lol. That is not a strong roster, especially in net.

I think he's probably gotten more out of that roster than most could have.

Harley never showed any interest in playing for the U.S.

Did he grow up completely in the Syracuse area? If so what youth orgs did he play for?

Top end depth exceeds 1996? Totally disagree. 1996 had Chelios, Leetch & Housley on D make the HOF and Modano, Roenick, Hull, and Lafontaine make the HOF uofront. Barrasso is in the HOF and was backup to Richter. Then you had
depth upfront like LeClair, Amonte, Weight and Young (F who could play D).
Hatcher and Suter as #4\5 D also.

Only certain HOF I see currently is Matthews and if he puts up a couple more Vezina's, Hellebuyck. Don't know how anyone can objectively make that statement
about this group.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Figured Oettinger would get the start tonight.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

He played youth hockey in Syracuse, but he has been quoted as saying he was raised to consider himself Canadian. Playing for the U.S. was never a consideration.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Tons of positives of course but I would love to see more out of Jack Hughes. Matthews should also slot down to 3C as he's been an excellent 2way threat. He uses his big frame well which is something I haven't given him enough credit for as a fan.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

So, they are playing in Boston and......scratch McAvoy. LOL. Maybe Swayman will get some playing time?

I'm guessing that means he's probably a bit banged up.
