GDT: Boston Bruins Training Camp - 1/13 thru 1/18

[Kelly23]

lol - with those pairings it doesn`t look like the Bruins are even pretending anyone else has a shot on D.

Yeah Johnson, Bart, Warsofsky are fighting to be the 7/8th Dmen.

I think they carry 8 D with Johnson being the #8 man
13 forwards with McDermind being that guy, Spooner on the third line

Will there be any types of scrimmages vs other teams or Providence?

On a related note, I live here in Minny. The Wild are chartering their AHL affiliate from Houston on both Monday and Wednesday for two separate scrimmages. In fact, Wednesday's scrimmage is being aired live on FSN North and is open to the public. Given proximity, I'm sort of surprised they aren't going to do a partial (two 20 min periods) scrimmage on Wed Morning. Maybe Claude feels like they don't need it considering this group has largely been intact for a few years now, versus the Wild who are turning over a bunch of new guys to the lineup.

Having no games in the Western Conf is going to make roster management significantly easier. The Bruins can afford to take more chances with possible injuries than they could if they were playing games in places like LA, Edm, etc. I'd be really surprised if Chris Bourque doesn't break camp on Boston's roster. He might not be the solution, but he certainly doesn't need more time in Providence right now.

 

[GoBs]

Any chance Chris bourque where's 77?

Edit: Sons can use fathers retired number.

You can`t wear retired numbers.

 

[Artemis]

Where's 77? There's 77:

No chance. Even if it wasn't retired, there's enough pressure on Chris. Let him be his own person.

Bourque was wearing a grey practice jersey along with Kelly and Peverley, while the rest of the Providence forwards and Pandolfo (whom I never noticed) were wearing green. Makes me think they've got Bourque penned into that 3rd line spot already.

Why carry 8? Providence is an hour away. There is no reason to have a young player sitting in the press box in Boston when they could be playing in Providence

Maybe if you go on a road trip you call up one more player for that

Children of the retired player can.

Agreed especially where Bart and Warsofsky are so young they are better off playing, and helping providence win.

We carried Kampfer for quite sometime, it gets them practices with the big club, gets them familiarity with the other top 6 defencemen, more chemistry right away, they get to watch from the press box with Sweeney and be shown the tendencies of his potential partner so he can anticipate what is going to happen, say Boychuck likes to make a contested d-d pass its the little things that add up.

Johnson is no young, but there is really no need for him in providence plus it make 4 d pairs for morning skate and practice.

Looch looked ready to drop by the end, oh man.

was it a hard practice.

Great to hear McQuaid is back, I thought he would be out for awhile.

[Gator Mike]

Couldn't tell too much from drills, but I thought Chris Bourque looked fairly impressive. Looked like he fit with Kelly and Pevs.

They are likely the best linemates Bourque has played with and could help him break out and stick in Boston.

I would be very happy to see Bourque stick with us, not only because of his roots, but because it's about time he steps his game up and transitions to the NHL.

 

[BruinsHockey]

I was hoping Bourque would go with 27 or 72 (because his dad were two different jerseys with 7 on it (also 73 would be fine as well)).

Dougie sounds like a kid who has his head on straight.

I think Dougie will be wearing 27. Bourque can take 14 (7+7)

Bourque is currently listed as #56

That sounds creepy
