Pre-Game Talk: Game 3 - 10/19 - California Dreamin' - Bruins @ San Jose Sharks - 10:30 PM - NESN, 98.5 FM

That's pretty much what I said.

You said he shows flashes....I don't even give him that much. What annoys me most about Coyle other than his lack of relative speed is his stubbornness. I think he has vision of the full ice. He shows it on the point of the pp occasionally. However he generally overthandles the puck because he doesn't skate well enough to risk a turnover.

Well the Bruins won game 3 & 4 against FLA with Zacha/Coyle as their 1&2 centers. He can fit in as a top 6 C in a pinch.

There were babies born 4 days ago who have never seen the Bruins play a professional hockey contest.

There were babies born 4 days ago who have never seen the Bruins play a professional hockey contest.

I can't remember anything beyond three days ago so I'm in essentially the same boat

I'm so excited for this next game. So excited to see the new lines...

JDB with Zacha and Pasta could be electric.

Marchand-Poitras-Geekie is a really interesting line. Can Marchand and Poitras get in sync? Can Geekie compliment them with board work, net front play and as a shooter? It fits on paper. One thing I worry about is what happens if players take liberties with the kid? Who's going to step in? Our captain, probably, which means he's in the box and not in the game. You didn't have to worry about that with Freddy.

JVR-Coyle-Freddie is also going to be interesting to watch. Will they be a super heavy, cycle line? Will they get all the DZ starts? We know Coyle and Freddie are great together and can handle heavy defensive loads, but can JVR? It's a very different line composition than what we saw with Hall or Mojo. Who's going to transport pucks blue line to blue line?

Lucic-Beecher-Lauko is just fun to watch. Lauko's just gotta stay out of the box.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Late night GDT's aren't as fun either.

I don’t know . I always find the most fun I have on this board is the late night GDT’s . It’s usually the same bunch of people l

 

[Fenway]

Arriving at 2 AM after a 6-hour flight is not fun but I fell asleep over Ontario and woke up just before landing.

 

[Ned Bouhalassa]

Clearly, we will pay for this with 5 games a week in March/April.

 

[caz16]

That looks like Vegas gold to me. Not Boston gold.

It's a cunning plan.

 

[lopey]

What is this thing they call a game?

 

[KillerMillerTime]

hard to say no to steven stamkos, but i'd prefer one of the eliases first (pettersson or lindholm). or nylander - pasta's BFF.

but if you ask @DKH --- he may say we are ok down the middle with poitras looking good early, and b's should get rid of
gryz/forbort and bring in his guy noah HANIFIN

Just say NO to Noah. Hanifin is a 6:02 poor mans Hamilton.

Hockey????? So soon???

I would rather Frederic with March and and Poitras. I have been unimpressed with Geekie. Really question what he is going to bring. Frederic so far looks way better.

Hi Kells!



Going to try and get a GDT out. Had a rough time with my allergy shot yesterday so I am playing catch up today.

 

[Orr Fourever]

It's game day.

Finally.

Zacha & Pastrnak will be recruiting Prague born Hertl with a bit of time in San Jose

His 8 M contract looks pretty fair and a year already burned

I’m sure SJ would love to move him if he wants to play for Boston and accelerate the rebuild

Zacha goes to LW and a new Czechia line born

Poitras stays at C

Bruins can call up Lohrei & Bussi

SJ which has BU guys at GM & coach gets a good player In Grzelcyk who would be a Quinn guy and a leader for the young players on D

Swayman who was not overly happy with his arbitration process gives SJ another character guy who’s a very good player

All on Hertl but this is basically a DKH Hockey KNow inside lock - and the Swayman part was told to me - I can’t claim it

 

[Drift]

wait 3 years for hockey and its a 1030 game..... brutal

[goldnblack]

haha after waiting this long, there's no way I'll stay up probably. Cruel.

 

[Dellstrom]

2 games in 8 days into three 10:30 games… what a start.

 

[Sheppy]

No pints tonight, a bit too late... If it was a 5pm start, yes.

Saturday, however...

 

[ODAAT]

anyone know much about the Sharks this year? No wins but that doesn`t always tell the full story, does it here? Lottery team?
