Former Bruins Ex Bruin general discussion II

[BMC]

Danton proving his worth in this league.

Almost has 500 games now, and over 200 points. We really should have kept him, and I was disappointed he wasn't coming back. Even more so when we can't seem to score goals.

But but but...Heinen sucks!!! Everybody says so!

But but but...Heinen sucks!!! Everybody says so!

I gotta admit - while I don't think he sucks I really didn't think him signing with Vancouver was even going to be a small loss.

Another night without a lot of options - so Wednesday's winner of the " Best Ex-Bruin of the Day " award goes to Nick Foligno who scored Chicago's only goal of the night in a 4-1 loss to Detroit.

Jeremy Lauzon ( Nashville ) 7 hits, 2 PIM and a -1

Taylor Hall ( Chicago ) 3 SOG and 1 hit

Honestly, with the exception of perhaps Ullmark and even given our current struggles, I really don't miss any of these players.

[BigGoalBrad]

Honestly, with the exception of perhaps Ullmark and even given our current struggles, I really don't miss any of these players.

I'd like Hall here as a mid line depth forward at a reasonable cap hit.

Got to find a way to make Coyle and ex Bruin.

 

[goldenblack]

DeBrusk Being DeBrusk

Curious where his season ends. On line 2 now and PP2.

3 goals and 8pts is 1 goal less than Brazeau, and only 2 pts more. Not exactly blowing the roof off. Koepke has 8 pts.

 

[BMC]

Wonder how Gryz feels playing for the Penguins who were absolutely shelled by the Stars last night.

 

[BostonBob]

Easy choice on Tuesday - the winner of the " Best Ex-Bruin of the Day " award is Linus Ullmark who shut out those stinkin' Leafs.


Reilly Smith ( NY Rangers ) 2 SOG
Ryan Lindgren ( NY Rangers ) 1 hit

Colin Miller ( Winnipeg ) 1 hit and a -1

Linus Ullmark ( Ottawa) stopped all 27 shots in leading Ottawa to a 3-0 win over those #$@^%$#*&%@$ Leafs

Erik Haula ( New Jersey ) 1 SOG, 3 hits and a +1
Dougie Hamilton ( New Jersey ) 2 assists, 2 SOG and a +2

Jesper Boqvist ( Florida ) 1 SOG, 4 hits and a -2
A.J. Greer ( Florida ) 2 PIM

Dan Vladar ( Calgary ) stopped 29 of 32 shots ( .906 Save Pct. ) and took the loss against Vancouver

Jake DeBrusk ( Vancouver ) 1 assist, 3 SOG, 1 hit and a +1
Danton Heinen ( Vancouver ) 1 SOG, 1 hit and 2 PIM

Sean Kuraly ( Columbus ) 1 goal, 1 assist, 2 SOG, 4 hits and a +2

 

[Kalus]

Curious where his season ends. On line 2 now and PP2.

3 goals and 8pts is 1 goal less than Brazeau, and only 2 pts more. Not exactly blowing the roof off. Koepke has 8 pts.

He’s due for one of his 6 goals in 8 game hot streaks before going quiet for another 10 games. He is in his late 20s now and is the player he is at this point.

 

[Dr Hook]

Wonder how Gryz feels playing for the Penguins who were absolutely shelled by the Stars last night.

Probably like he felt on the opening night when the Caps blew us out 7-0? I don't know, I imagine he is feeling appreciated at some level. Sullivan is giving him solid minutes and he is still playing in the league. He's likely going to hit game 500 in the NHL this season. If he was still here with a start like this he'd be whipping boy #1.

 

[BostonBob]

Wednesday was one of those days when offense almost nonexistent for former Bruins so the winner of the " Best Ex-Bruin of the Day " award is Frank Vatrano who scored in Anaheim's 3-2 loss against Vegas.

Matt Grzelcyk ( Pittsburgh ) 1 SOG, 1 hit and a -1

Dmitry Orlov ( Carolina ) 2 SOG and a -2

Chris Wagner ( Colorado ) 0's across the board

Frank Vatrano ( Anaheim ) 1 goal, 7 SOG, 2 hits and a +1
Urho Vaakanainen ( Anaheim ) 1 SOG and a -1

 

[BostonBob]

The Avalanche activated Jonathan Drouin and Miles Wood today and to make room on the roster they put Chris Wagner on waivers.

I really hope we don't start seeing a bunch of " the Bruins should claim him " posts from the usual suspects.

 

[BostonBob]

Former Bruin defenseman Matt Irwin announced his retirement today.

[McGarnagle]

Former Bruin defenseman Matt Irwin announced his retirement today.

https://x.com/i/web/status/1857080660709503091

He should've retired after those two games with Boston

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Wonder how Gryz feels playing for the Penguins who were absolutely shelled by the Stars last night.

This aged well....hahaha

This thread is something the leafs fans would have. We have sunk.

 

[BostonBob]

If this is becoming too depressing I can stop posting daily updates.

No please don't. I like to see what our ex-Bs are doing.
