Harry was missed, he would have had the second loudest ovation.

Very underrated icon in Boston sports.
He's done some great things and some shit things as the Bruins GM. More worried about the bottom line most years than winning Cups. So he's loved by some and reviled by others.

Geekie is skating now it was mentioned on Twitter? I wonder if the Bruins might consider putting Geekie at center and switching Poitras to the wing just to give Poitras a re- set , maybe he might start producing?

Still a Bruin Icon. Guy stood up for his teams like no other

Stood up for his teams? He actually quit on his team over money, yet was notoriously stingy when it was him paying players and coaches.
What a joke post! Do you take this opinion on players leaving over money?

He was smarter than you or me would ever be in making decisions on what players where worth. He was right 99% of the time

If people think that Harry was making the $$ decisions wo JJ's blessings please give your head a big shake.

Guy was a soldier for the owner and fell on many a grenade for him. One of the smartest GM's in all of sport.

Great coach as well.

I think he just takes Heinen’s spot.
Heinen has been good, maybe time to send Poitras back to Guelph. Kid needs to gain muscle and another step. This was a great showcase for him but it may be the best thing in the long run. The 4th line of rookies is doing good, if anything Geekie may find himself down there and move up Beecher.

Agree to disagree. There's no doubt in my mind Sinden cost us more than one Cup due to his skin flint ways. As to him being right 99% of the time, you give your head a shake. I only have to mention Iafrate, Stevens, Leech, and Coffey to shoot holes in that statement.

All lines seem to be clicking...Poitras line is so so close to getting them points. I love the 4th line. At times they looked better than the top 3 lines. Dangerous all night long.

@Ladyfan did you sing Ole Ole for your friends on HFBs?

Anyone able to post the Edwards soundbite "toilet seat" comment?
I still have last night's game DVR'd. (Even the part where the Habs got JVR'd ;) ).

I'm thinking of shooting a short capture on my phone, but I'm unsure about how to post it. I have a YouTube channel with lots of original content and don't want a copyright strike.

I'll look into it, or maybe someone knows the rules regarding posting such a clip. I'm thinking a YouTube Short should be fine, and it was a short blurb. Not as prolonged as the Pat Maroon incident.

I didn’t get to watch the whole game but I like that 4th line together.

How has the Lohrei-McAvoy pairing been? Does it look like that could be a high end pairing as Lohrei develops?

Heinen has played well but he is an offensive blackhole, an expendable 4th line talent. Poitras will have his ups and downs but he is always an offensive threat, he needs to stay with the Bruins and learn how to play through the grind of an NHL season.

Harry was a genius at talent evaluation but wa notoriously cheap. Fought every player for every dime.

Ya, every time that I heard that he was on a boat somewhere with his buddy Glen Sather I was afraid of how he get abused in a trade...
Although I loved and hated the Linseman for Mike Krushelnitski trade. I loved it at first and hated it for the rest of MK's career. I also never liked giving up Geoff Courtnall in the trade for IIRC Andy Moog since we had trouble scoring. I didn't like it but on the other hand I understood it.

Cam Nelly for Pederson was his masterpiece.

I feel for Jack Edwards, and am surprised he's not receiving backlash for referring to the Habs logo as a toilet seat. I had to rewind the DVR, I couldn't believe it. Great job by Brickley changing the subject immediately!

Well, he's not wrong........
