i really wish the Bergeron comparisons would stop. It’s so cringe.

He reminds me of Brayden Point

I’m glad he got that goal as he was generating a lot right before ducks scored there’s and when Poitras came right back and kept pushing for one only to get one I felt a sense of relief like they would pull it off, didn’t think they’d pull it off with yet another goal by Poitras

He has a lot of moxie and just keeps getting better.

Ok, but pretty sure you were complaining plenty when Sweeney made his FA acquisitions.

Pretty sure I’ve accounted for that in my post.

And to be fair, it’s not the Browns, Shattenkirks or JVRs that are moving the needle in my assessment.

Still if they had a plan and it’s successful and I didn’t see it or agree with it - I have zero issue admitting that I was wrong. Not there yet (of course). But I’m definitely happy so far.

Saying all the right things. Gotta love it

Have our expectations for this team changed or is it still far too early? I know we are all on the “ just make the playoffs “ train but they might actually be able to make some noise in the playoffs.

I personally am going to try to enjoy the regular season first

The playoffs have been the B's kryptonite

Lindholm beast 27 minutes

This team knows how vulnerable my heart is and my hopes for them are rising by the day. Recipe for disaster

BRUINS play Chicago Tuesday. No one should complain about this opening 6 game schedule. There's nothing wrong beating teams you're supposed to beat and the BRUINS are doing an excellent job of that, so far.

The schedule after the Blackhawks will give us a more significant feel of how the BRUINS match up with the better teams in the NHL. IMHO, with the BRUINS' goaltending tandem and the BRUINS' scrappiness, they will match up quite well.

DeBrusk looks bigger then 6 feet

All the love for Potsy, but wtf is up with Hampus Lindholm?? He has been way off and Kevin Shattenkirk is no longer an NHL defenseman.

He looked fine Mitchell was awful.

Shatty and JVR looked awful in person just move on and play the kids.

Struck gold with Poitras he was good even before the goals when the team wasn’t doing much.

Hope we can get Charlie his Norris he deserves.

lets get lucic and forbort back in and let these lines/pairings gel for a (couple) week(s)?

Yes you did , but you may notice our posts were just minutes apart and I hadn't read yours yet. Also, it was meant in jest . I thought your expired can of Chef boy and sex was hilarious.

I'll disagree with JVR and Shatty they have contributed. Brown I can't defend.

Whatever the plan was its clearly working.

DeBrusk looks bigger then 6 feet

Debrusk is funny. Bigger than he looks because he skates kind of hunched over. Almost looks like a mini Lucic the way he glides around when he's not going full tilt.

 

[Alicat]

There is no way they can send him back.

 

[Gordoff]

Here’s the messed up part…….I had tickets to the Hawks-
Bs game at the United Center. But my new boss called a team meeting on Tuesday……..IN BOSTON.

I think I feel a bout of COVID coming on………..At worst, I can catch it on NESN.

Ummmm, better "stay home" in Chicago and quietly slip into the game. Put on a fake Swayman Stache (or mask) and nobody will be the wiser!

 

[DKH]

The PerZechtion line looks like it could be 250 plus points

 

[b in vancouver]

my two cents with Poitras comparisons is that he reminds me of a young (Flames era) Marc Savard. Not the fastest, undersized, but controls the puck along the boards, is heads up, quick stick, and a bit feisty. The Flames screwed up with Savvy. Hopefully The Bruins keep him around.
He also reminds me that this is what I expected from Zach Hamill at 18 ... so? I'm hit or miss.

I think Linus just admitted he tore both his groin muscles in the playoffs. The pain

f***ing Jim let a goalie with two torn groins play over an elite 1B in the playoffs?
