BRUINS GDT Free Agent Frenzy - July 1 NOON (ET) - ESPN+, TSN, SN

[RiverbottomChuck]

They may not have as many points as last year but if the void on the 2nd line gets filled I think they much harder to play against in a 7 game series. With the exception of the contract aspect to Korpisalo I love every move he’s made this offseason so far.

 

[CellyHard]

Not to brag but damn I called Jeffrey Viel earlier in the summer...I get he's probably Providence bound but I bet you this guy pushes on the roster somehow like Greer did. He's Shawn Thornton 2.0

Find me an enforcer in the NHL that has numbers similar to him in the AHL. I don't think you can. Averages .5 ppg and had 40 pts this year...he can play and throw down

A broken clock is right twice a day, right?

My biggest takeaway from Sweeney's media availability?

He pronounces Tkachuk, "Tuh-Chuck."

That’s that Harvard education for ya

Riley Tufte is 6’6”

I’m sensing a trend here this offseason.

ME LIKEY!

TIme for the annual Grade Sweeney poll.

Alright, who kidnapped Don Sweeney and repalced him with somebody who likes tough hockey? No Neely at the press conference, was probably watching from Dr. Evil's secret lair and Sweeney was on a trap door if he signed anybody that wasn't aggressive.

What a great day to be a Bruins fan.

 

[Coach Parker]

Thanks for all the info you’ve provided today. It’s been great!

Thanks for posting this. Was what I thought happened and he said it as well:

Prioritized D group over a scoring winger, only so much pie available.

Great day to be a Bruin fan

I'm not unhappy that Maroon has moved on to Chicago.

Needs to change it from Big Rig to Deep Dish.

 

[NDiesel]

I know @Fenian24 mentioned Viel a few times before

I feel like they have a real plan now. Reigning in the offense and getting tougher and more defensively sound can do wonders in the playoffs if it creates space for Pasta and Marchand to have that extra second or two.

I love the additions top to bottom. It's the missing scoring help that now has to come from Providence.

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

This is smart, I think.

I’m still hoping we find a way to end up with McGoarty. I’d do next years first plus a decent prospect I think if that’s what’s needed.

 

[NDiesel]

I like it, time to see what these guys have got.

This is as it should be. Defensemen are much nicer people.

Yup Bruins better and tougher

1. got best center who will get Pasta better, cover his creative mistakes, win FO, play last minutes of games with leads and actually get puck out of zone

2. Picked up one of the games toughest players who has offensive element- and will knock the crap out of his former Calgary buddies on Florida who will start crease crap

Good luck to Max Domi trying jujitsu moves on Charlie McAvoy

3. Opened up opportunities for Lysell & Merk - added responsibility for Poitras

Great day

300 days to playoffs - Donny we need the lineup round 1 v Leafs by Thursday 4h

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

If they can get Sway on a good deal it leaves enough to add a certain big name C UFA next year that’s rumored to be buddies with Pasta with the cap going up and contracts expiring.
