Frederic won't be 25 until next month. His development years coincided with the covid years. It may just be that it's his time to blossom.

You forgot to mention Carolina lost as well.
It was fun. Definitely kept me awake!
So what if it’s 10:30 a.m. and I’m working in my jammies this morning?
Did @smithformeragent 's wife have the baby?
I'm not a big fan of Brendan Lemieux either. Good on Freddy for taking him on!

I fell asleep before the 3rd started so watching Bruins in 2 now. I have absolutely no self control though so I checked the score after seeing a quick highlight (that I tried to ignore lol) on Instagram.
Good to see the boys and Swayman get the win. What a travesty it was for Swayman to get the start last night

Swayman had a solid game. Saved Clifton's butt a number of times.
Line of Hall-Krejci-Zacha doesn't have anyone that wants to shoot enough. All 3 have good shots but are pass first players.
Forbort with a +3. Don't recall seeing a bottom pair defenseman that has had so many big plus (and minus) games in a season.
Really enjoying seeing Foligno get more ice time and not being saddled with no-hands Nosek.

Watched half last night and half this morning.
Marchand deserved the 2 for mouthing off, and that was a gross non-call on the trip to cause the temper tantrum.
McAvoy got caught puck watching with awful stick position on the Kings early goal
Otherwise, they looked good. A nice consistent game throughout and the box score shows it. It’s Almost like the dynasty Patriots, where they just played a steady and mistake free game. Eventually the other team breaks, wears down, or does something that’s plain stupid.

What's the history between Frederic and Lemieux anyway other than a couple of previous fights? Is there something else?
Yeah, he spent so many years as a top-pairing dman next to Doughty in LA. Could just reliably eat 20 vanilla minutes, his biggest problem was opponents would just play keep away from DOughty and dump it into his corner. Always knew he'd absolutely thrive down the lineup. Having him as a 3rd pairing dman is insane.

His name is Lemieux. That's all the history it takes.
Exactly what Marchand needed - get pissed-off and channel it. Not that he’s been bad at a point per game, but remember last year when he went through a stretch of single-handedly dragging the Bruins to a win? Methinks he’s going to start playing like that again. Except this year there’s a lot more than just him pulling on the rope. Go Bruins!!

No argument here
If anything I was curious because I would be shocked if it were JUST fights

So the baby’s name will be Trent? Or Freddy?

Actually, the kid has 100x the balls his father has. He will drop the gloves, something dear old dad avoided like the plague.

It has been fun watching the Kings over the past several seasons get to the point they are at. They should keep improving over the next few seasons as well, even when some of their vets are gone. Last night's win was one of the more impressive ones this season because the Bs took on a very good team on the road, played 3 solid periods, and won the game by a good margin. All of that just several days after going through all the Winter Classic festivities and game.
A couple things stood out to me. First off, props to Swayman. Not an easy game for him, but he stood strong and shut down the Kings for the most part. If he can get more consistency start to start he is going to be a gem. Second, I can't say enough about Frederic's growth this season. I felt he was at the point of put up or shut up. At his age he needed to take the next step pronto. He appears to be doing that. Keeping my fingers crossed that he's just a late bloomer and continues to improve. His shooting pct this season is double his previous career pct.
Marchy has 33 points in 30 games, coming off double hip surgery -- insane!!! Love it when he is able to channel his anger into something productive on the ice. Did that in spades last night.
The Bs have 64 pts. Next closest teams in the NHL have 56, and the Bs have 3 and 1 games in hand respectively on those two teams. Tremendous! Keep it rolling!

Obviously, the BRUINS have entered the offensive zone many times this season with great success, but based on their won/lost record they have also entered The Twilight Zone.

How was Sway last night hopefully he goes on a run. I wish the Kings will go back to their old Uniforms and Colors

Love they way Trent can on hopefully we see the same results for beecher in the future
Does anyone have video of Kempe (I believe) getting away with a trip on Marchand; and Brad's, ah, behavior in the box thereafter?
Please please post if you do!
