BRUINS GDT GAME 19 1:08 PM - St. Louis again..... NESN, NESN 4K, NHL Network, SN, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[neelynugs]

any guesses on the lines? merkulov seems much better at center, but will they put him in a position to succeed?
or just another 7 minute outing on the wing?

Put Georgii with Zacha and Pastrnak!

 

[FrankerC]

This team is playing absolutely horrible, may as well put Merk with people who can elevate his game. Place him with Pastrnak

Please put Merkulov in a position to succeed and not on the fourth line for 7 minutes TOI

Wow Jordan Kyrou leading the Blues in scoring drafted 6 spots after Frederic.

If the THN article is correct, Merk has 2 goals in 12 games, Tufte has three goals in half as many games. Would not have expected that.

Exactly! He hasn’t given any of the young kids any top 6 ice time. What does he / bruins have to lose. Nothing. All players are other than Koepke are f g making mistakes and bad plays.

Hope he's replacing Frederic.

Merkulov (or Lysell, Poitras etc) deserves a chance in place of Geekie in the top 6. Any offense at all is desperately needed. Likely does not work but better than what we have seen all season.

Merk has I think 9 assists, though. He makes things happen for the P Bruins after a bit of a slow start. Tufte is a talented guy. He should be doing that in the AHL and doing better in the NHL than he showed.

Ha ha yes that could be the case. I do want to see Koepke top 6.

 

[Dr Hook]

They should've sat Freddy and put Brown in for him last game (though I think TJohnson might be hurt so they didn't have anyone). I would rather see Brown out there these days than T Fred which is not so much an endorsement of Brown as an indictment of Freddy.

My best guess is Monty has until December 4th to right the ship

The next 3 games at home should be 6 points

Too much time, the season will be lost by then!

Too risky for the owners/GM perhaps but changes should have been made by now.

I wouldn't describe him that way.

 

[Dr Hook]

I wouldn't describe him that way.

Well he definitely hasn't shown it in the NHL to this point, but he is a first rounder with good skills for his size. By talented, I mean he is a good AHL player. Lettieri is a talented guy as well who can score in the A. I guess my only real point is not that Tufte is going to be a good player for us (sadly), but that him scoring goals in the AHL should not be a surprise.

Thanks Fenway

IF things go bad the next 2 home games all bets are off

What does St Louis have that we want? Pregame trade of Freddy to St. Louis (his home) for something with a game ready pulse...
