Count down ...
Thinking the team should trade McCavoy, Ullmark, Lucic, Grzy, Geekie, Forbert, and Lauko. 
From the GDT @GordonHowe .....
"As silly as it sounds, team chemistry, playing for one another, supporting one another, and sticking up for one another, is a vital key to success in any team sport. Especially hockey."
It isn't silly at all! It is a key to success.

After it became 2-2, all Bruins.
As Blowfish said, no Mac, Gryz, Geekie, Lauko, and Lucic and next man up is impressive.
Shattenkirk was a good stopgap addition and someone who will help Mason L develop into what appears to be another Top 4 D-Man on this Team.
I think the Kings game and last night's 3rd Period the Bruins showed structure, ability to score across the lineup, and that they don't have to rely on someone in the net to save their bacon.
Love that Sway should get the Habs twice in the next week as he seems uber dialed in right now,
Wonder if the Habs will do a 45-minute pre-game ode to the 1993 team?

One of the most surprising things to me about last night's game was how pleased I was to see Forbort back in the lineup. Early last season I had him pegged as a borderline NHLer, but he's really grown into his role here.
Also, Mitchell hasn't been the disaster I expected after hearing all the negative stuff about him. Thought he put in solid minutes last night.

Easier from up here
To me the best play of the night was Pasta passing to Coyle for the ENG. Pasta had wide open net, and if he shot could have been 2nd in the Rocket race, but unselfishly passed it for Coyle's 3rd.
Good stuff.

When NESN flashed last night's projected lines, my eyes widened when I saw "JVR-Coyle-Frederic".

Looking like Mitchell has gotten over his earlier games yips.
Forbort now +9, second only to Pasta on the team.

Wow, only 1 page ? Everyone sleeping in ?
They just keep winning. Purely amazing considering the talent, and number of players that walked out the door, from last season. Kudos to Sweeney.
Bad clear on Carlo, and Isle's 2nd goal doesn't happen at that moment.

Kerp Coyle on third line Centre snd stop trying yo make him something he is not. I loved all the lines last night. Monty might have found his lines going forward

In my book he can learn to be patient. Looch will come back and he’ll get his dance partner. Until then, unless he does something to warrant one of our guys stepping into the pit, he can wait. Others have and will again.
And I love the kid’s game and wish he was a B. But he’s not, the Habs suck, and ergo I could give two f***s what he’s looking for.
No one on our squad (without Looch) will do much but try to survive. And we’re the top dog in the Habs/B’s rivalry now and have been for some time. If he “wants” something, he can ask, but he should be a good boy and stay in his place if the answer is “not right now”.
Charlie Coyle’s first hat trick powers a relentless Bruins attack in victory over the Islanders - The Boston Globe
Coyle’s final goal into an empty net capped a statement third-period effort that fueled the Bruins, who improved to 11-1-1.

The last thing David Pastrnak wanted to see was a pass heading his way.
One of the best pure goal scorers on the planet, Pastrnak had a different goal in mind in the waning moments of the Bruins’ 5-2 victory over the Islanders Thursday night at TD Garden.
What Pastrnak really wanted to see was hats showering from the stands.
Charlie Coyle, with two goals already in his pocket, was chugging toward an empty New York net when he sent a backhander over to Pastrnak, whose only thought was to send it back.
“Yeah, 100 percent,” said Pastrnak. “I mean, I was just trying to point at him to just shoot it and he did make me skate for it a little bit, but I’m glad that I was able to catch it and give it back to him.”
“He was screaming shoot. I think he was tired; he was chasing [Matthew] Barzal the whole shift, I think,” Coyle said about Pastrnak. “I backhanded it over and he was like, ‘What the . . . Why are you doing that?’ I’m glad it worked out.”
“You got to give credit to our leaders who were on the ice, Pasta and Marchy at the time, and just the response they had,” said coach Jim Montgomery. “I thought it was a little bit of a bad break. Marchy tries to keep it in, and he hits it with his stick, and they had speed. They come down; they make a good play. But the response was great.
“I thought that was one of our best power plays. We had three or four great scoring chances before we put it in the back of the net. Then I just really liked after that we came wave after wave.”
He and his wingers, James van Riemsdyk and Trent Frederic, combined for eight points and were buzzing all night.
“I thought [that line] had a huge impact. JVR made five outstanding first passes; two of them didn’t end up in a net, three or four of them did,” said Montgomery. “And Frederic and Coyle have always had a chemistry together. So, it was really nice to see.”
The trio gave Boston the first lead of the game when van Riemsdyk slid a pass through the slot to a charging Frederic. After quickly settling the puck, Frederic ripped a rising wrister over Ilya Sorokin’s blocker.
It was tic-tac-toe hockey at its finest and it set the stage for a wild third period, capped by Coyle’s capper. Pastrnak, who has a team-high 10 goals, couldn’t stop gushing about his teammates.
“These guys had an unbelievable night. Freddy, JVR, and Coyle. It’s a big body line and they’ve been outstanding,” said Pastrnak.
Coyle, who has a reputation as a defensive specialist and exceptional penalty killer, has been on somewhat of an offensive tear, with 12 points in 13 games.
“I can always be better. You always push to be better,” said Coyle. “I’m always harping on myself to shoot the puck more or getting to those scoring areas, and that’s a work in progress too, but I want to keep adding to my offensive game and making sure I bring my defensive game.”
JVR played fantastic again as well. That may be the best signing of the off-season.
Frederic can give him a go. Just watch out for Jackeye's righthand...
Debrusk has to get going goal wise. I liked his game last night. Played hard. Had some chances. He needs some luck.
The difference between how the Bruins play in their own zone and how the leafs play (watched Wed night’s game) is so extreme it’s comical. Sure, the Bruins can sometimes be weak on the puck, sometimes will be out of position, sometimes will lose a battle and sometimes will make the wrong play, but these are the exceptions rather than the rule. Besides, hockey is a fast and chaotic sport and stuff happens. But, unlike the leafs, no one ever looks like it’s the first time they ever stepped onto the ice in their own zone in their lives.
But it’s more than this: it’s will and determination and understanding the game, that how you play without the puck is as important, or indeed even more important, than how you play with it, since you have the puck far less than you don’t have it. And if you don’t have the puck then it’s your job to go get it, not someone else’s, while you skate around aimlessly counting your money and looking for a stretch pass. It’s a mentality and, as others said in the GDT, it’s been here since Julien and promoted by leadership ever since. That’s the culture of success and why they can keep plugging guys in and have a next man up mentality. It’s not about stars it’s about players.

have to take my share of crow, yet again. I don`t recall my exact words or posts about the JVR signing but I`m close to positive I gave it a massive thumbs down and a likely arrogant addition of he and his career being done.
I do however wish the B`s could have lured him here a few years ago, been so long since we`ve seen a player live in front of the opponents net.

Whoever does, won’t do to him what Looch will later on.
I’ve been in Arizona with Mrs. 103 visiting her parents. Her dad has been very sick and she wants to spend a couple of weeks with him. I came along for a week and heading home Monday after we spend the weekend in Las Vegas.
Anyways… after a magnificent day at the Grand Canyon (pictured below)
we stopped for dinner and listened to Judd Sirott and Bob Beers call the last two periods on XM radio on the ride back. A great game and a great finish to a great day! My compliments to Charlie Coyle! Well done, Bruins.

Absolutely nobody, why would they?
The backend are better with Forbort in the line-up, so glad he is back. He was tremendous last night, just one mistake on the PK.
Leafs d is terrible and besides that they have no structure. Forwards love to fly the zone
Im jealous lol
