Bedard scores first shift like Lemieux, doesn’t he?

 

[UncleRico]

I think we are going to surprised how certain player contribute ,

My bold predictions,

JVR 20+ GOALS 45/50 Points
Geekie 40+ Points
Lucic 10+ goals
Freddy 20+ goals
Poitras 45+ points
Beecher 25+ Points
Lauko 25+ Points

Love that 4th line it's going to be a difference maker

That would be a borderline historical 4th line.

 

[Gordoff]

First time since 2002-2003 season that Bergeron won’t be on the opening night roster.

I was 8 years old.

Young whipper snapper. I was 46

 

[JOKER 192]

That would be a borderline historical 4th line.

So be it

 

[McGarnagle]

Bedard scores first shift like Lemieux, doesn’t he?

Yes, though fortunately he's debuting the night before against Pittsburgh so Erik Karlsson will be his Ray Bourque

Oh thank god

 

[The don godfather]

Linus will be a beast as usual book it!

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Looong offseason.

Wait is over.

Let's go Bs

 

[Alicat]

I’m already irritated over the fawning over Bedard. I love Foligno and Hall but I hope we blow the doors off of them.

 

[pgm16]

1 more day !!!

 

[Shaun]

feels like just yesterday i spent an absurd amount of money to fly cross country and unknowingly see bergeron and krejcis final games in an absolutely crushing game 7 loss.

boy the offseason flew by

But he outmuscles Gryz instead of beating Bourque and the GDT turns into a Gryz thread.

I'm expecting a Grizz - Heinen miscalculation sometime this season ending in a goal against that leads to a GDT meltdown

Sweeney does not need any help looking like a fool. He is a fool with 2.5 million on waivers with more to follow. Fire the arrogant putz now.

Depends on if Forbort is on the ice

Maybe we could hire someone who would waive vets in favor of rookies, and find a GM who can actually draft someone redeemable in the late second round.

 

[FrankerC]

I hope Bedard plays well, hockey is in need of more superstars. But I also hope we shut that no-emotion little shit down. Will be bittersweet seeing Hall and Uncle Nick. Whatever happens, I am just ready for the season and ready to be a Poithead.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

so linus is officially starting tomorrow?

Why?

It still hurts (me at least) to have lost Hall.

I understand why it had to happen, but the guy was a good Bruin.

Anyways…Bruins hockey! Yay! Should be an interesting season. Let’s not pull a Habs and do a one hour ceremony every night because it’s the centennial season.

I actually still do not understand why it had to happen. They gave away a gritty, productive, 2nd line winger for nothing. They could have cleared out others for cap space. Some combo of our 3rd/4th liners and 5/6 D. Dump them, keep Hall, bring kids up. Ugh. Still pisses me off.

Bedard is going to be a superstar.

You would think he has signed a contract already?
Huge risk on his part if he has not signed and gets hurt while practising.
