Hopefully Brando is okay first and foremost. Secondly, don't take the Yotes lightly. They always come ready to play. And they got some very talented players. Shake off the loss and altitude stuff, get back to basics. Less penalties. Get to Arizona and be ready to play. No excuses. No Injuries. Just be ready. Get the win please.




You already know the drill

Arizona has a pretty top heavy offense on paper. Then I look at the defense and goaltending and their position in the standings starts to make sense.

Boston should be able to pump in a 5 spot tonight.

Fell asleep watching the football game after snow blowing shoveling 3 houses - 11 hours sleep.

Watching first period now

Observations
1. Bourque number retired is ridiculous
2. Beecher destroyed Toews

Why Beecher is not consistently in lineup I don’t understand

The Steen-Beecher- Lauko line gets after it

Maybe all to inexperienced but they all can drink legally so come on Monty

I like Lauko - Beecher - Steen from the options we have, though I'd sit Lauko for JVR if that is what it has come to. I am also not settled on this, it clearly could be upgraded through snarl or skill. I do think Beecher is the player on this line that I would hold firm to. I like Steen more then Lauko but both feel like 12/13th forwards to me.

I’m with you 100 %

Beecher is the one foundation of that line

Marchand first goal was very similar to all 3 in his hat trick vs Columbus- about 30 feet out with time and he just picked a spot and nailed it

Kind of a power play weapon on the other side of Pastrnak in one-timer set up

That combination to defend should be a big time problem for opponents

Marchand hips must be good because he is on another level last month

They both have been too heavily relied on, to go deep they must spread things out or they'll both be toast. If they don't trust who they have in bottom six then replace them.

It's called knowing you're the Captain.

Haha sorry that sounded way more assholey than I intended.
No worries.

Brad is a big part of the reason I go to so many games. Seeing him play in person makes you see much more than what is shown on TV. He is amazing and gives 110% every shift.

Love him with the "C".
