You must really love McAvoy then.

As far as Pasta is concerned it's possible he is trying to get other players out their offensive doldrums by passing the puck instead of shooting.
I know, I know! I am just thinking outside the box, it's just a thought, that is all!
I can take the heat, if I am wrong!
Anyways I am very happy they got the win.

His 2 assists that led to goals were unreal and it was the highest end play he could’ve made out of those situations. That pass he tried to force to Johnson on that mini 2 on 1 was unnecessary - he was in a prime scoring / shooting position. Have to fire the puck there.

Also from the Globe:

Have a seat
For the second time this week, a Bruins forward found himself stapled to the bench in the third period.

Johnny Beecher played just one shift in the final period (he was on the ice for Yegor Sharangovich’s power-play goal 58 seconds in) before he was sent to Montgomery’s doghouse.

Asked about Beecher’s lack of ice time (6 minutes, 18 seconds), Montgomery deadpanned, “He played well in those six minutes.”

Montgomery benched Pastrnak for the third period of the 2-0 shutout of the Kraken last Sunday.

I’m going to start benching teachers at work.

You didn’t listen to my classroom management advice? Your ass is benched. I’m teaching your class.

So maybe it looks like the tandems that might work are:

Pasta-Zacha-X
Marchand-Lindholm-X

Tempted to put Poitras with Marchand and Lindholm, but that's a small line. Maybe Brazeau is best for now. Big body to crash the net.

I like Koepke's game. He has good fundamental instincts around the net. I really think he has the potential to be more than a fourth-liner.

Yeah it looks like Koepke an Coyle could be a good pair along with the other 2 you mentioned.

Bruins scoring 4 goals was great, but how they scored was even better.

Someone actually made a play to someone else who finished it. Pasta set up H Lidholm, Pasta setup Zacha, Coyle setup Koepke, E Lindholm setup Marchand. No broken plays, lucky bounces off someone else's butt. Good passes, on the tape, handled and deposited.

Still, goalie gives up a bad goal 20 seconds after they take a lead. Can't score on the power play. Captain takes a bad penalty; PK can't kill it. Blew 2 goal lead in third period.

Frederic moved to the 4th line, ends up -2. Koepke a +1 playing with Coyle line. May be time for Freddy to have a seat upstairs. Seems to drag down every line he plays on.

Freddy had 1 shift last night where he looked unusually slow and couldn’t handle the puck at all in our end, which led to a turnover and a high pressure push from Calgary. He didn’t even look like an east coast league player on that particular shift. It was concerning. Maybe he’s battling something.

Great game, good improvement, hopefully they can maintain this effort.

Last night, Razor mentioned talking to Pasta about his early years and Pasta mentioned how much he loved to be a playmaker before he got addicted to scoring goals. Maybe with his recent struggles, he's trying to go back to square one and find his playmaking touch while he finds his goal scoring game again. I did notice the increased effort to be dishing the puck last night from him.

Dr Hook said:
Salaries are on the rise as is the cap. He is getting $7.7m, which is about market-value for a top 6 center (and you'll always overpay a bit for a UFA). He'll get you 60+ points, plays a strong defensive game, is consistent, and wins faceoffs. What do you think the price tag for that should be?

You already had 60 points for nearly half the money, that you could have used to get a scoring wing.

I think Korpisalo's cap hit is only $3 mil.

Bruins are spending 12.8% of cap on the 2 goalies.I am to lazy to look to see what NHL average is sorry.

VanIsle · 2024-11-08T13:29:55-0500

I like Marchand and Lindholm together, Lindholm is similar to Bergeron in game play and that is who Marchand played with for many a year.

Zacha and Pasta then have to be put together as the next 2 best players.

Also I found this stat that just blew my mind in how good they were.
-Boston didn't lose a seventh game in regulation in 2022-23 until Jan. 29

I thought at the time Mc Avoy was worth it, or close too it , I knew Elias wasn't, and if was betting on who will end up being closer to his worth , I will take Mc

At the 1987 Canada Cup Gretzky told Mario Lemieux to shoot the puck (when Gretzky passed it to him in scoring position) not to pass it again or overthink it. He said your the best goal scorer so just do it. Perhaps someone needs to say this to the Bruins best shooter.

Well it is a big deal if you are spending the most and sitting 4th in own division struggling to score goals.That said, I have no idea where they sit as I said .

Trying to fit salary into little compartments to produce the maximum output is not going to work in the real hockey world.
