Who are you playing over Mitchell right now? Wotherspoon on his off side? Regula?

The longer Lindholm plays at this level the longer that contract no longer looks like the stroke of genius it was looking like last season.
Idk what has happened to him but he has looked very pedestrian for way too long now.

Why would that change anything? They’re gonna ship out defenseman to make room for him?

Did I say I was playing anybody over Mitchell????

He's definitely regressed. I don't quite understand it either. I'm starting to get concerned.
I agree 100%. He began his play with Boston like gangbusters, but he hasn't been that player for quite a long time.
I don't know if his previous foot injury has skewered his game. Foot injuries can always be tricky.
I think he overachieved last year and he’s underachieving now, he’ll level off at somepoint this year and find some place in the middle. He hasn’t been as horrible as he’s looked imo, but agree definitely not at his best.

That's how I thought they were gonna come out of the gate to start the season, but they surprised the hell outta me
..but now they're starting to play a more mediocre meh game lately
If it wasn't for superb goaltending, they'd be fighting for that last wildcard spot

Lindholm logged 25 min of ice time . . . may be the last, after Geekie and Sway I be concerned about in this game.
I honestly didn't know Trent Fred was playing till a Devil was chirping at him late in the 3rd.
JDB has to watch a game, I just cant watch him continually and actively avoid contact on forecheck and float
Speaking of floating . . .our "C" mailed one in. 7 seconds left in the 2nd he's 1:1 in O-zone just causually sends puck behind net . . . just a disinterested effort.

Eye test says he looks like how he did in Anaheim when all his advanced stats said he was on the decline.
If you look at the last couple years (including seasons on the Ducks), last season was the outlier.
You have to hope that isn’t true.
I just don't know about this team. That game was a snooze fest which leaves me with not much to say. Sway played another great game but gets little offense.
His advanced stats are all still really good right now, just power play and penalties. Agree on eye test though, not matching up at the moment. Last year was definitely an outlier, hope is not by too much.
Who ever said 'the puck stops here' was referring to BRUINS' goaltending.

I agree. He had a good game. I also liked the first period of the game. I thought we had good jump and pace.

He was so good when he first got here. No idea what happened.
Never seen a team get burned as many times on the outside as this Bruins squad. It’s embarrassing.
It doesn’t happen THAT often, but often enough that I have to say this: i think holding the stick is still in the rule book, and should still be called.
when it’s abundantly clear that there will be no penalties called I would love to see a little more dickish behavior from Boston. Seems like they shrivel up instead.
Outside of the goaltenders i am finding it harder and harder to like this team. Win if you can, lose if you must, but show me something. Anything.

The Ducks were one of the top teams in the western conference though in between 2013-2019. His stats probably went downhill with along with Anaheim's.
He looks like a different player this year though for sure.
That's happened in the past with a few of the new arrivals.

This is sort of the type of season I expected this year, up and down and the ability to pull some positives out of maybe not so great result. This roster isn’t great to begin with never mind with the injuries so the record is already impressive to me but my expectations are much lower.
I obviously want to see them win but mainly want to just see some growth in the newer/young guys going into next year.
