BRUINS GDT GAME 23 7:08 PM - Vancouver - NESN, NESN 4K, SN, ESPN+, 98.5 WBZ-FM

Let's get a streak going here boys. Good habits. Build on them.

Will be nice to see Jake, Heinen, and Forbby (even though he's hurt and not playing). Great guys. Great teammates. Always rooting for their success.


Shots to the net. Forecheck. And let's get this win. Find that identity boys.

I'm still MIA on here. Grief is..an ever evolving process. But hopefully everyone plays nice.

Win for Muffin.

LETS GO

GZP: 56 minutes 5on5
MLB: 67 minutes 5on5

MLP: 54 minutes 5on5
ZLP: 72 minutes 5on5

My eye test is that the Geekie-Zacha-Pasta line has been good. They consistently outplay their matchup. They get glorious chances every game. Look at Detroit, Pasta was alone in front 3 or 4 times, Geekie had a great chance that didn't quite squeak thru the 5hole, and he also had a nice cross ice spin-pass to Zacha.

I feel like that line (and the 2nd line to a lesser extent) is really due to start scoring.

I do agree that they (Z&P) would be better with a more productive player and eventually, they will need to swap Geekie out with a higher end talent if they really want to make some noise, but short of trying Brazeau there, I don't see a better option on this team at the moment.

Geekie needs 10 or 15 great looks to bury one.There lies the problem.

Just Bruins luck.Boeser returns tonite.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Make some kind of trade if they are serious about making playoffs. And this benching Johnson bothers me over Frederic who has absolutely sucked ass the entire year to date.


They have him there because the General Manager dropped the ball .

Maybe. But they have very little of any quality that they can afford to give up.

If they wanted to shake the team up they could try and make a hockey trade. Otherwise I think the next month or so at least will be primarily about allowing the team to properly settle in under Sacco, see exactly where they're at, who's stepping up and who isn't, and then start to make some decisions from there. This forward group is going to struggle but if the defense can keep things tight and they play within their limitations they just might be able to grind themselves into a decent position. I really don't think the Bruins are going to be sellers at the deadline but just how active they are as buyers should depend on how much this group can prove it's worth investing in.

The Wizard of Oz when I was a kid was on Thanksgiving Night

McLaughlin reminds me of the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger)

No brain?

It’s going to hurt watching debrusk in a Vancouver jersey. This team misses debrusk on the pk, the pp and 5v5. He was underrated around here.

Its gonna hurt more seeing Heinen in a 'Nucks jersey.

 

[BMC]

DROP THE f***ING PUCK ALREADY!!!!

Not a good sign for Johnson.

So many shots, can’t make it stick on varsity.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

I think we are going to be pleasantly surprised tonight

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Flying Monkey's still scare the shit out of me

My tea mug at work(I’m the manager) says “Don’t make me call my flying monkeys”

 

[PlayMakers]

I'm looking forward to seeing McLaughlin. When he first came up he was fast, smart, had a scoring touch (for a 3rd liner)... I'm hoping we see that kid again.

 

[The don godfather]

Let's go sacco! Keep chugging along. I'm starting believe. Let's go! I have elias lindholm playing extremely well tonight book it!

I'm getting Brad with the GWG in OT, 3-2 final. I'll take Pasta and Kast with the other goals.

First post on the Canucks board GDT:

"Oh god, not these assholes again."

So good to see Woodstock!!!

Couldn’t get any shots of our castoffs, so here’s the usual suspects. Wearing my #28 Forbort jersey(even though he’s not here tonight)

That kid seemed to go missing for awhile in Providence, from what I can tell. Would be nice to see him back again. There's still a little something about him.

Playing canucks always good memories.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Nucks play with quite good pace, certainly more than Utah or Detroit. Speed had been one of Boston's major weaknesses under Monty, struggled to defend quick attacks on the rush. Curious to see how they handle it now Sacco's at the helm.
