They don't really have many weapons other than Larkin-Raymond-Debrinkitty do they? Kane has similar numbers to E-Lind and Tarasenko hasn't been great. Yet they have the 5th best PP in the league. Should be an interesting riddle to figure out.

Hoping Kastelic keeps his mean streak going and Zad plays physical..let's go 🐻

I go with Swayman ~ he’s a stud playing like a dud, but he’s legit and a good person. I admit if I was on that team and he was publicly going about his negotiations I’d say to my significant other and close friends on the team ‘STFU, you sound like an idiot’…. However, doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like him any less - I’m pretty sure I could give him a run for his money on not knowing when to shut his mouth in his 20’s.

Korpi should get a game a week if Swayman is healthy and on his game.

Healthy with Lindholm they are very good ~ 100+ team

Not buying they suck crowd

That they are 500 with a -20 goal differential this early is a miracle

They should be in a very deep hole

Kane can still distribute the puck on a PP, but no one other Larkin and DeBrincat is finishing. Going to be a difficult game for Boston.

Sacco seemed to be using Cassidy approach of layers on D and volume shooting with others going to the net

Bruins had an amazing 60-40 edge on Florida in high-danger scoring chances last spring but Florida has marksmen the Bruins don’t like Verhauge & Reinhart specifically

Boston has size and needs to play close to the net and avoid looking for fancy shit when they really don’t gave the skill

This was Cassidy and Sacco mentioned it yesterday as the way they need to be successful

Cleaning up D though is significant the odd man rushes - think opening night were minimum last game

Id stick with korpi till he loses. Just plays hockey and isn't distracted by the lime light and it resonates in the lockerroom..swayman will get his shot again and can hopefully carry them in the winter..swayman is far to fragile at the moment to he relied on. Needs to get back to basics

IMO Fixing the D is most important to fixing the Bs.

I hope they let some of the forward lines get some chemistry. Too much switching players on lines wasn't helping.

I can understand the choice on either. I have always been a fan of riding the hot goalie until he cools off, but mr 64 million reasons has to find his game.

Your worst post ever (said with a smile), which says a lot about how good you are at posting actually.

Sometimes, we can disagree!

I don't want ANY part of a team that doesn't put the shutout goalie back in when points are at a premium, and everyone is earning it. EVERYONE. Even Pasta got sat a period. Korpi is the vet, he's 30. He's paid his dues. This respect is very well earned. Would be different if Korpi was 24.

Sway gets 7/10 games when Sway is back to being Sway. He can earn it.

Checking those stats defenseman Lohrei is tied for 4th in scoring on the Bruins even though he played 4 less games.

And third most on the team in giveaways.
The offense is there with him but the defensive aspect needs to improve. He gets pushed around and pushed off the puck too easily. He should not be an NHL defenseman right now but I’m excited to see how he progresses.
