BRUINS GDT GAME 23 12/2 7:14 PM - THE BEAR explores Yonge Street - NESN, NHLN (NO ESPN+), SN, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[bruins19]

if Reaves is playing more than 5-6 minutes tonight, the Leafs are in trouble and Sheldon "Puffy" Keefe should be fired, the guy is all but useless

I hope they keep him! Helps us to have more useless people in TO.

 

[DKH]

Yikes. I thought he was fine.

Me as well

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

So who's centering 4th line?

 

[PB37]

Is Beecher a healthy scratch out or nagging injury out?

 

[Saxon Eric]

Scratch
So dumb

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

So who's centering 4th line?

Geekie.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Scratch
So dumb

Absurd. Need size to wear down Toronto. And Reaves is going to make a fool of himself.

Wrong, coach.

 

[hrdpuk]

They're going to miss Beecher at the dot

 

[Gee Wally]

Yeah. I don’t get it.

 

[Carl Hungus]

He's looked good? I don't know what else they expect from the guy

 

[missingchicklet]

What the living hell is Monty talking about? Was it the 80% faceoff wins against the Sharks he didn't like? Or maybe the 75% faceoff wins the game before that one. You know, the one in which Beecher scored one of the Bs two goals. Of all the players not on top of their game, Beecher isn't near the top of my list. He's hitting, playing physical, being responsible, winning a crazy pct of draws, etc. Monty isn't supposed to start saying stupid things until playoff time.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Bring Back Brown!

 

[Oates2Neely]

Beecher benching is odd. Maybe something we missed.

Looking for Coyle to put his engine in 6th gear tonight, they’ll need one of his “on” games

Yep, what does the coach know?

 

[missingchicklet]

Yep, what does the coach know?

He knows how to lose in the first round of the playoffs with a 3 game lead

Beecher takes around 90% of his draws in the defensive zone. A key to beating Toronto obviously is limiting the amount of time their very capable offense spends in the Bs zone. Seems to me like having a faceoff wiz like Beecher in this game in particular would be important. Little things can make a big difference in a tight game.

 

[Absurdity]

 

[Olden McGroin]

 

[Mione134]

Um... he's been fine? And excellent at the dot.

Not sure I agree with this.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Yep, what does the coach know?

Well judging by some of his decisions in the playoffs I wonder sometimes.

 

[jgatie]

I'm wondering if Monty's just playing with the press. I can think of a dozen players who should be improving their game before singling out Beecher. Probably just a maintenance day and Monty's pulling our their/leg.

 

[Gordoff]

Marchand isn’t fighting Reaves.

What Boston should do is go out there and start smashing Leafs around, forcing them to play Reaves more. He will be running around though, no doubt.

The thing is. If he’s going to do that, go absolutely dummy Marner.

Can you imagine even one Bruin willing and capable of of doing that?

 

[McGarnagle]

For a guy whose record is like 85-15 over his first hundred games, Monty seems like a complete idiot sometimes.

 

[Gordoff]

Waitress was friendly until I paid with Bruins credit card

I hope you didn't pay until after she had access to your food.

Yeah but if Hf Bruins made the decisions they'd be like 100-0
