[Jorah Marshmont]

Hopefully someone who can watch posts notes on how Lohrei looks throughout the game

 

[PlayMakers]

Streaming only? I hate this league.

Seriously. I have to have multiple streaming services to watch games. Fubo, Sling, ESPN...

The Ottawa Senators have fired general manager Pierre Dorion. The move was made hours after the NHL announced the Senators would forfeit one of their next three first-round picks as a result of punishment stemming from their 2021 trade that sent Evgenii Dadonov to the Vegas Golden Knights.

First real big game of the season in my mind

I thought the road win against the Kings was a big game/win, but agreed this one is a big one too.

 

[smithformeragent]

Love ESPN+.

Not being sarcastic.

Also, wouldn’t be surprised if the Bruins kick things up a notch in this one and find a way, despite being short handed.

 

[Gee Wally]

So the lineup for the first period will be...

Zacha - Poitras - Pasta
Marchy - Coyle - DeBrusk
Riemsdyk - Geekie - Freddy
Beecher - Brown - Steen

Lindholm - Shatty
Lohrei - Carlo
Forbort - Mitchell

The lineup for the 2nd and 3rd is anybody's guess.

goalies, as good as theyve been, are going to be busy next couple of weeks.
This is why Im on the keep both wagon this year.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Poitras centering Zacha and Pasta could be interesting​

This line already got 10 minutes against the Panthers, and it worked very well. Keen to see more of it.

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

McAvoy wasn't just doing his job on D, he was driving a lot of the offense we had so this stretch will be difficult unless DeBrusk or some of the other forwards step up and start scoring.

My hope is that Lohrei gives us Poitras level play. My fear is that the offense doesn't improve and with the weakened D we get beat bad for this game and maybe the next three.

Just hope they don’t play like they did the first period against Florida Christ could be 7-0 with the Leafs offence.

I'll save you the time. He's going to be playing defense like a veteran.

 

[Ladyfan]

Last season I would commiserating about not being able to watch the game, but I'll save THAT for the Detroit game....

Now with fibre optic Internet I can stream via ESPN+...I love watching games on my phone...can watch anywhere in the Cave!!!

So where is the cave?

Unfortunately sounds like get to see Ahler Mitchell and the horrible Wotherspoon. Enjoy it while you can Leafs. Still almost glad I do not get to see this one.

But you know you want to watch!

 

[Ladyfan]

Remember when everyone wanted him gone pre-season?

Not me

It is showing that Sportsnet plus is televising the game, not sure if it will be blacked out in my area? Hope not, this will be a great game / want to see Lohrei in his debut.

Wow the NHL is not fooling around here. Massive screw up by the Sens.

I'm on the fence about this line...on one hand it worked last game and the creativity that Poitras possesses will help more with quality finishers ..and Brad with JD may kick start JD...on the other hand we are short of quality centres and this line arguably turns our best centre to a winger ..would rather see Zacha slotted and develop as a #1b/2 Centre ..reps matter in that position

I agree. I think the line in itself is very intriguing and has every chance to be effective, but as you say, we are short on good centers and tying two of them up in the same line creates problems elsewhere. So I don't think it's a long-term option. But as something the Bruins can go to now and then, as we know Monty's more than willing to do, it could be a solid change-up combo. Giving it time to gel now, to prep for future use, is not a bad idea.

 

[JOKER 192]

Not me

No not you but many.

In fairness it was more about making cap space to bring in a center.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Can't watch the game tomorrow. Don't have ESPN+.

Oh well, maybe I'll follow the posters here that will be watching.

Probably even more entertaining.

 

[caz16]

Looks like its on sportsnet Ontario. Whew! Lol

It will be blacked out for me, probably.....

 

[bbfan419]

Does not make sense to pay the $200+ to have Sportsnet+ and have games blacked out.

Amen brother ... I paid for a few games 2 playoffs ago (can you still pay just for a game?)..anyway ..wasn't watchable anyway due to lag..future is almost here but not quite yet it seems

 

[RI.B FAN]

I hope you’re right about him being ready. We run into a problem when Gryz is healthy. Numbers game and cap issues might be problem in keeping him up. Gryz wont go on down to Providence.

on no NHL team does Gryz belong in the AHL affiliate.

 

[Alicat]

I can already tell you now that there will be no GDT tomorrow as I am in meetings all day tomorrow starting at 8am. GDT's will be back Saturday and Monday.

As much as I love making GDT's, a day full of meetings gets me a day off to spend with my family in a few weeks and I'll take that any day

 

[eightspokedb]

So where is the cave?


But you know you want to watch!

The Cave ( as in cave of caerbannog - Monty Python reference) is in mid- Michigan. I think all Red Wing games are blacked out so it will be radio only for me Saturday. Don't get me started on ancient blackout rules. I'm 3 hours from Detroit...just checked - tix on the ice are almost 700 dollars. Yikes!!
