You're the guy using a 10 game standard. If you are going to use a standard
it applies to everyone. You can't use 10 games for Boston and pretend the games not finished by other teams don't count...lol.

Yeah my bad. Need to always wait up until all West Coast games are finished before even considering making any kind of post. I’ll run it by you next time to be sure I’m following your protocol.

I don’t know if they’ve changed much, systematically, but he’s looked much better under Sacco.

Brazzeau and Wahlstrom on the same line was an adventure, a very slow adventure. Hope it was just to spark Coyle's offensive game back to life with some time on the first line.
Buffalo Sabres Reconstruction...... since 2010
Draft draft draft..... Some here beleive that drafting is de Saint Grahal....I say draft are promises.!!!! Potentiel nothing more.
Well written Allan.
As long as the Bruins are competitive, I hope they fight big time, before going all SELLER.
Win as ugly it can be is a win.
Win after a long trip road ain't easy.

Up to the next one.

Ex-Bruins defenseman vows Sabres will find way to end losing streak
While they’re facing adversity by way of losses, Connor Clifton knows at some point it’s going to end and they just need to get through it together as a team.

Bad ice, bad teams, bad game.
Bruins offense produced two goals. One on a Coyle breakaway out of the box where he fakes himself out, falls on his ass, runs into the goaltender and puts the puck in while on his back. Smooth. The other goal a Geekie shot helped by the fact that Brazeau gets knocked on his ass and takes down the goalie. Of course, Geekie could have had a legit goal if Pasta could have stayed on side on the other side of the ice, not even in the play.
But, 2 points. Next game should be better.

Your plan is valid, but if you are going to pay over 8 mil for a goaltender, and start using a rotation, then maybe it is time to move that contract.

Clifton on the losing streak: I know it’ll end soonEx-Bruins defenseman vows Sabres will find way to end losing streak
While they’re facing adversity by way of losses, Connor Clifton knows at some point it’s going to end and they just need to get through it together as a team.
Yeah when his contract is up and he can get the hell outta there lol
I, like many have pulled for Brazeau to succeed, but it is time he takes a seat. I have not always been on board with McLaughlin, but this time up I see a different player, get him back in there. Freddy playing the middle is worth a shot, McLaughlin, Freddy, and Walstrom, lets ride it and see where it takes you. I know many want Freddy moved, understandable, I would like to give that line shot first, I do not want Freddy gone and not replaced similar to DeBrusk leaving, although Freddy is young, but at least you have a young player in Walstrom, to replace losing a young player in Freddy. Try that line for a bit.

True. I would like to see the whole division very close. Do we want Tampa to win their next two games vs Florida or do we want Florida to win? I’m really not sure.
In a twist to the holiday shopping season, the Bruins in the third period Saturday night unwittingly found themselves in the middle of a two-for-one sale on Causeway Street.
Morgan Geekie scored twice in a span of 11 minutes — only to have his first one wiped off the board because of an offside infraction — and ultimately it was his second of the third period, a one-timer from the slot with OT approaching, that delivered the Bruins a 3-1 win over the down-and-out Buffalo Sabres.
Attention, TD Garden shoppers: the two-for-one sale did the trick, albeit the hard way.
The win, on a night when the Bruins were decidedly off their game and heavy-legged after a five-game road trip that ended Thursday in Edmonton, lifted the Black-and-Gold to five games over hockey .500 (18-13-4) for the first time this season.
It also left Joe Sacco’s charges with a .571 points percentage, an impressive renaissance from the .475 start (8-9-3) that led to Jim Montgomery’s dismissal after 20 games. With the Christmas break approaching, and 47 games to go on the schedule, the Bruins are a far more viable playoff contender than when Sacco was put in charge of the bench on Nov. 19.
“It’s just one of those things — it happens all the time,” said Geekie, acknowledging a degree of disbelief when his first goal was scrubbed from the board. “Video coaches across the league know what they’re doing. You know, that [stinks], but it’s kind of a testament to the resiliency in the room.
“Once that got called back I think we played the best 10-ish minutes or whatever was left in the game. We grew to our game and we’ll definitely try to start a little faster next game.”
Pastrnak, who finished the night with two assists, noted he was blatantly and regrettably offside on Geekie’s first strike. All part of the game, said the elite Czech winger.
“It happens on both sides … and it clearly was offside,” said Pastrnak. “Nothing you can do, obviously. Sometimes it’s tougher on the individual, like I was a part of it, but as a team, you are just moving forward. Offside, nothing you can do, you move forward.”
It would have been Geekie’s seventh goal of the season. It would have been a 2-1 Bruins lead. Instead, it ended up an asterisk on a night when the Bruins struggled to find legs and scoring hands, but still squeezed out the 2 points.
The Bruins are back in action Monday night at the Garden vs. the Capitals, their final game prior to the Christmas break.
Joonas Korpisalo, who made eight saves in the opening period, made his best of the period only 39 seconds after Coyle potted the go-ahead goal. Nicolas Aube-Kubel, set up with a sharp backdoor feed, squeezed off a shot in the low slot and the alert Korpisalo nabbed it with his glove. Timely stop by the Finnish goaltender. He finished with 19 stops and was the key reason the Bruins never trailed (for a 12th time this season).
The only puck to get by Korpisalo, JJ Peterka’s 1-1 equalizer, came 18:23 into the second — with Oliver Wahlstrom in the penalty box.
“In this league, any time you can come away with two points and get a win, it’s a victory,” said Sacco. “We weren’t at our best tonight … and Buffalo played well … but we stuck with it, got timely saves from our goalie, and in the third period we turned it around. We flipped the switch a little bit.”

True that. The Ullmark trade keeps looking better and better. And the coveted 1st round draft pick is still percolating in Boston.

Don't think Frederic can carry a waiver pick up and and an AHL tryout as a third line against decent teams.

Oh I'm not saying Swayman had had tougher matchups. Korpisalo is doing exactly what this team needs him to do. I said when we acquired him that if he can give you around a 2.50 GAA & .915 SV% then he'll give you what Ullmark did (Vezina year aside). Right now Korpi is at 2.42 GAA / .904 SV%
You might be right, but let's find out, who can step up and who cannot before any moves are made, I am not against moves, I just hope to make the right ones.

Again, thank God the three teams with the longest play-off droughts play in the Bruins division.
Team was pathetic, but thankfully the Sabres are just terrible. Nice little four game streak going however, so just get in. I am not sold on NJ or Wash so to play them round 1 is hardly insurmountable

Korpi doesn't seem to let in any softies. It's no guarantee the Bruins win these games vs the lesser lights with Sway in nets right now.
