Hayes with a drive to the chest. Do they practice that or what.

Hayes with a drive to the chest. Do they practice that or what.

It's how they prepare for the All Star Game shooting competition.

Spooner has looked good last 3 to 5 games. Let's get rid of him. Only dude that makes things happen.

hah it really is crazy how much it's been magnified how bad he has been...there is such a long list of guys who have played awful so far who don't even have the potential to bring anything creative offensively.

but no lets dump him for a mid round pick....cause...defense, faceoffs!!!!! We need more Riley Nash's.

God forbid we create a team that has different styles of players who have different strengths and weaknesses.

Clode would love a bottom 6 of Nash clones I'm sure...and then people complain Bruins games have been boring.

Spooner has been bad this season, not even letting him off the hook, just dont want to see him run out of town while we still have ****s like Hayes n Nash on the team.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Team is playing a fairly open and not robotic game. Like what I see so far despite the scoreless game.

Carlo and Chara on defense is seriously lights out. Just a brilliant tandem.

Chara is also skating 5x better than at any point last year. When Carlo gets the puck, he's moving his feet to get open for a play up the ice immediately. Part confidence in his partner, part healing/working on skating game in the offseason.

 

[BruinDust]

I'd love to see them try Spooner - Backes - Pastrnak just once before they finally send Spooner packing.

And sorry Claude but with Chara's return, Kevan Miller healthy, and both Morrow and Colin playing well, it's time to sit McQuaid.

I'm sorry, I don't give two you-know-whats how great McQuaid's perceived defensive contributions are, he hurts Boston's offense in so many areas it's not even funny.

Him and Jimmy are in a running competition as to which one hurts Boston's offense more.

Liked Nash's game at start of season but hes starting to wear badly on me now. Doesn't like taking the hit to make the right play, just pokes it to nothing and jumps out the way, not good on a 3rd line.

 

[toasterjam]

what a ****ing play by Pasta...what a pass

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

What a sequence. Two masterful passes.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

That pass by Pastrnak...

Holy ****. How was that even possible...

 

[ashnathan]

Pasta is a freak

 

[Bridges31]

What a pass by pasta

 

[Hali33]

Pasta is so ****ing good

 

[bruinmann77]

Why are they moving spooner

Nash is the definition of a JAG.

I'm OK with Nash as 13th forward, but that's like saying I'm cool with McQuaid as the 7th D. Will never happen with this coach.

 

[missingchicklet]

Carlo is so damn smart its incredible. Never panics.

Last three games I've noticed him doing so many of the "little things" as if he's a veteran. He gets better and better every game. Scary to think how good he will be when he peaks.

Very good points. So many bruins underperforming yet spooner gets the spotlight. The dude is meant to play with skill. Not much on this team.

With his reach, skating ability, and reads, when he's 25 he will be next to impossible to beat one-on-one.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

The Bruins being in the playoff picture, with Jimmy Hayes as an everyday player, has actually become a bragging point for me as a fan of this team.

 

[TP]

I can't believe that worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

 

[BMC]

Schaller!

 

[missingchicklet]

Oh hell yeah! Schaller getting it done!

 

[JCRO]

What a shift by Schaller. Wow!

 

[Bruin4Life]

How to not play static - Tim Schaller! LOVE IT

 

[toasterjam]

Why are they moving spooner

cause DEFENSE n FACEOFFS n stuff

Riley Nash bringing more to the table with his elite defense and faceoffs which is clearly going to help us win games (already looking bad in his own zone, failing to clear puck)

SCHALLER SCORES

I called him out for doing nothing on 2nd line...great goal..still don't see him as a solution for second line but damn that was NICE

 

[KlausJopling]

Nice saucer pass
