Brazeau with just 1 goal, 1 point in Minnesota playing 8.5 minutes per game.

I enjoyed his use of his size and his skill for that size but if he is expected to be a 4th liner his career will not last much longer.

This trade was fantastic by Sweeney.

Charlie with a 3 point night!

I wonder how things would have played out had the Bruins kept Vladar over Swayman back in 2021.

I wanted to roll Swayman/Vladar and not sign Ullmark.

Put that 5m towards the rest of the roster. In my opinion the bruins needed to do something risky (like betting on two cheap but inexperienced goalies) and hit big on taking a chance if they wanted to stay competitive.

Tho I don’t remember exactly who would have been the add with that money.

Ullmark, Foligno, Reilly, and Forbort were a good chunk of change that offseason.

Admittedly Ullmark played very well here for the most part.

MSN

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Brad Marchand is a professional hockey player and professional chirper. He's excellent at hockey. He might be even better at chirping.

A chirp, loosely defined in hockey terms, is an insult. A wisecrack. The ones toward opponents, you might (and probably do) mean those. The ones toward teammates, not so much.

Which brings us to the Florida Panthers' locker room on Thursday night, after Marchand scored his first goal for his new team — the first time he scored in the NHL for anyone other than the Boston Bruins.

Teammate Evan Rodrigues was asked what he thought of the goal.

“He's a rat," Rodrigues said. "Yeah, I wasn't too happy.”

Marchand, sitting nearby, smiled broadly when he heard. Obviously, Marchand wasn’t going to let Rodrigues’ chirp go unanswered.

“He’s not wrong,” Marchand said. “I’ve hated him. We skated together in the summer and I’ve hated him for a long time, so that’s not going to change now.”

Let's be perfectly clear here: Neither Rodrigues nor Marchand was being serious. (We don't think so, anyway.) But the fact that Rodrigues even tried to pull off a chirp while talking to about a dozen reporters helps to illustrate one of the things that Marchand brings to the Stanley Cup champions.

He has swagger; if the Panthers wondered about that, he joined the team group chat with — what else? — a chirp as his introduction. He's cocky. He's a talker. Those are all good things come playoff time, with the Panthers set to start defense of the Cup in the next couple of weeks.

“That’s a part of the package and an important part of it," Panthers coach Paul Maurice said. "Everybody’s going to be wired here in 10 days, whatever it is, two weeks. Especially right now, grinding through some of these, he brings lots of energy, right? He’s got lots to say and it makes it fun.”

Marchand had two assists in his first seven games with Florida, including one in his debut with the Panthers on March 28 that set up an overtime winner by Sam Bennett. Marchand's first goal came on his 15th shot with Florida.

“I’m just enjoying this whole journey," Marchand said. “It’s such a unique experience for myself and I’ve been part of really good teams that have accomplished big things and some that haven’t. Regardless, what you realize is that these opportunities are very few and far between and you've got to enjoy every day in this league. And I’m having a lot of fun right now.”
