BRUINS GDT GAME 4 10:38 PM EDT - THE BEAR explores South Park - NESN, ESPN+, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[Number8]

He kind of looks like Pasta when he was young.

I know. I was being a troublemaker and adding to the who’s in for who and why theme. Plus anytime the Hermits are in play it deserves a response!

 

[wintersej]

Kings get through center ice so much faster than the Bruins.

 

[Johnny4778]

I'd hold off on extending him but he has been good

I’d get it done right now at 2x2.

Peter Noone looked a lot like Pasta when he was young

I actually saw them last year at the Tupelo Music Hall. Peter Noone was 70+ but still sounded good...Plus he still has good hair. It was fun.

 

[Gordoff]

Someone else said that they can't before January and furthermore, they're up against the cap. He can wait until they're ready, maybe after the TDL if he keeps it up.

 

[Guelph Bruin]

Is constant icing a new defensive strategy Monty's coaching? ...special team scoring, defense and goaltending is the recipe and it's working tonight so far ..keep it up

 

[bruins19]

Good first road period.

So much for the sky is falling narrative.

especially vs a decent team

Loving the hustle.

 

[Mione134]

Good first period against a good team. Glad they are playing up to snuff

 

[NeelyDan]

Good first period against a good team. Glad they are playing up to snuff

The hell is a snuff anyway

And who decides a snuff, whatever it is, is some success barometer

 

[quietbruinfan]

Kings are faster but thanks to sway, some hard work, and shot blocking, we are hanging in there. Not bad.

 

[Alicat]

Point of clarification, it was Monty confirming the line up and stating the reason DeBrusk was scratched. There was no leak or anything sinister about it. Also, there is no smear campaign. The beat writers are correct in writing about how disappointing it is to have a vet in a contract year miss a team meeting on the road.

There are no excuses for missing a team meeting and for a vet to do it makes it even more egregious. Actions have consequences and that’s why he was scratched. I also wouldn’t be shocked if they benched him tomorrow.

He also does a great Johnny Cash.

 

[TD Charlie]

I hate to do it but I gotta disagree with the company line here. Boston had a hell of a first shift but I think they’ve been dominated thus far. Thankfully Swayman and the pk have been impeccable.

They gotta find another gear in period 2. Hopefully starting with a pp gets things going quickly.

It wouldn't make a difference, it's for next year.

I love Snuffy

Sometimes I wonder which game you're watching.

Hear ya. Last I looked we should have near 28M in cap space for 2024 w/debrusk and swayman to sign. Couple of kids still on entry level and a JVR cheap sure lets ya hit free agent market hard. Mind ya it may be an expensive one.

 

[Bruinaura]

Okay all, we're aware Jake missed the meeting. Let's keep this thread focused on the game.

Thanks

 

[NeelyOrr]

This edition of the BRUINS is, obviously, not an offensive Juggernaut, so we'll have to see if above average defense and great goaltending are enough to reach the PO's.

 

[Alicat]

That pesky 1-3-1. Time to pull the Game 7 ECF 2011 game to show how you beat it

 

[McGarnagle]

With the caveats being that 1. it's early season and new lines are still gelling together, 2. we're without a top line winger tonight, 3. we're playing one of the best possession teams in the league, and 4. it's the middle of a west coast road trip, a big difference between this year and last is that we're getting dominated in the neutral zone and getting whipped in possession.
