People want offense, Viel has more goals than Lysell, they call up the guy that is scoring more and people still aren't happy.

I would assume Kastelic is out and Viel will be in for him.
Why not call up mclaughlin then? You can't really believe Viel is what this lineup is missing can you

Nope, he played for Providence the weekend.

They literally have a forward down in Providence (McLaughlin) on a 5-game goal scoring streak. Sniped one from about 30 feet out this past weekend. You mean a team with the lowest GF per game in the past month can't find use for a hot goal scorer?

IIRC McLaughlin played quite well for the Bruins when he signed out of college.

Well at least Andrew Peeke will be back, he was playing well before he got hurt.

I can't believe Koepke is being scratched, he's been one of the more productive players (I know, that's not saying much) this is beyond stupid I don't care how hot Viel's been playing.

Maybe he's a little banged up? And by all means, let's keep Geekie on the top line. That's been working out really well.

Not often (ever?) you see a player that leads his team in plus/minus scratched.

But this is a weird situation, with a 4th liner being that guy.

Koepke's play has tailed off lately and last game he was -2, including being caught star gazing on the tying goal in the 3rd period against the Blues.

There is no help in Providence for what this team needs. Call up somebody with some backbone, see if he can inject some emotion at least.
I would not have scratched Koepke for Viel. I would have scratched a number of other forwards

Kopeke, yes. The cause of all problems currently.

At least Viel can provide a staged fight. Any fight is something at this point.
Kopeke has been invisable, just another in a long list of medicre hockey players that would be extra forwards on a contending team.

Take one out put one in , zero differnce to outcomes of games

Montgomery is an idiot though.His days are numbered in Boston.

He has been one of Bruins quickest players, if not fastest getting in on forecheck.Bruins have players who have been far worse then him.

not me, need yet another Bruins breather this week, I watch sports to be entertained, this team does little of that
I've been watching mostly w/ the ipad lately on mute while the wife & I watch something more entertaining on the main tv haha

*edit. The Dallas game sealed it when they did nothing to Benn for that hit in a blowout game. Show some heart boys. Take a bunch of pims at the end. Not just crawl into a hole
