I thought Backes centered Marchy and Pasta for a few games at the beginning of last season when Bergy was out?
That was the season before (16-17). His first couple of games with the B's

Backes at center? Hmmmm
The center battles will be interesting. Hopefully someone steps up and we get a little more clarity after this one.
That'd be a heckuva top line for Providence.yup.
I have a good feeling about the Cehlarik Frederic Stempniak line which was a force vs the Flyers two days ago
If this line has another stellar game.... it will be "popcorn eating" interesting as to what happens next
Pretty accurate portrait of me for the next 6 months.
NESN+Wait. It says NESN in the title, which seems to insinuate the game being on television around here.
I refuse to believe it. Will reserve my excitement until 7.
Backes at center? Hmmmm
If Backes is playing center, it's not showing a tonne of confidence in a) Bergy's health or b) the trio of rookies
Team needs to make sure to ease Bergeron and Krug back into the lineup. There is no rush so early into the season
I don't have Detroit lines but your pre-season GDT is up!

Making room for Cehlarik is where my mind went which I certainly wouldn't be upset with, outside I'm not sure Donato has proven himself this preseason but I'm pretty sure he is going to be given a spot. As others have said they seemed to know what they wanted the team to look like before camp started and to push someone out of a spot your play needs to really be above the competition.Are the Bruins getting Backes acclimated at center because of Bergeron's injury or because Cehlarik is pushing for a roster spot this season over JFK and Frederic? I hope it is because of the latter but playing Backes at center has always been the logical choice given how many wing prospects the Bruins have that are ready to make the team.

If he plays the way he did the last coupler of games, it doesn't concern me at all. Bottom line is he came in to audition for a spot. He has 5 points in 3 games and has played responsibly in his own end. Not sure what more he could do to show he belongs. If 1 of the young guys needs to spend another year developing because he is doing a great job on the 3rd line so be it.I WILL get game tonight. I just ordered sports package, same as last year $33/month..But where I changed from Bell to Eastlink, it's not called NHL Centre Ice, just called Super Sports and it includes NBA, NFL,MLB and NHL..Many times last year, I got Bruins game with option to watch Bruin Commentators or other teams, games were usually on 2 stations.
Guys/Gals How do you feel about Winnik and Stempniak still hanging around?? I dont mind Winnik maybe being 13th forward and playing occasional game on 4th line but Stempniak still being here concern me. He's not a 4th line player but might steal the 3rd line opening. This concerns me as I really want one of our kids like KFC to grab that spot..
Yep. I just got the same package...I WILL get game tonight.

If Winnik takes the veteran minimum then I'd sign him,though with everyone coming back healthy not sure they'll be a huge need,Stempniak had one very good game,I'd wish him the best and happy trailsI WILL get game tonight.
