Middlestadt 2 games 2 assists. Not too shabby.
Post-Game Talk: GAME 66 - THE BEAR doesn't want to hibernate - BRUINS 3 Florida 2
- Thread starter Fenway
- Start date
We got Jim Nill from the Nucks and he had a hard time here (wearing no. 8). The next season the Nucks sent us a guy Named Cam , the number 8 fit well on him. Four or so decades ago we got Bobby Shmautz from them. TML sent us Tomas Kaberle (I don't know how much that helped in the '11 Cup) so now we rooked the TML for the haul that Sweeney got for Brando. All in a days work!

I remember, everything except for Scmautzie trade......Read that it was for Chris Odblison sp who was a decent checking center, and some guy named Fred O'donnell.
i think Sweeney did rook the leafs btw.

Literally WTF?
We were sellers at the deadline right? We were weren't we?
How is this team this much better after selling off pieces? They look so much faster and play with more pace and energy. From old and slow to young and fast in a subtraction deadline. Is Sweeney a genius or an idiot savant? That was one of the best games of the year.
Lohrei really coming into his own now. Confidence growing all the time. He's a force. Everything just looks so much better and some of these guys are just cast offs. I am so surprised and delighted. Will it last?
I also think Zadorov finally earned his money tonight and Bennett (punching a guy on the ice with a linesman on top of him is just a punk. But we knew that. Now, is Jokiharju making Zadorov better? Might want to think about re-signing him after all. Buffalo be crazy I think.
Thursday could be exciting.

That's twice now that top teams have underestimated the post-deadline Bruins, thinking their spirits were broken, and paid for it. Twice that this revised rag-tag Boston group have played with real heart and energy and earned very solid wins. Is it sustainable? The immediacy of the deadline shocks and the desire to show a strong response will wear off, and future opponents would be foolish to think they can just cruise into games against the Bruins and get results. That lesson should have been learned now.
So we will see. But it is nice at least for now to see these guys really buying in, looking to make an impact, and not lying down in adversity. Players like Zadorov and Zacha are stepping up and taking more responsibility, Pasta is coming into his own as a more independent leader, and the additions are fitting in quickly and making a difference. There is an extra edge to their play and it's good to watch. Not reading too much into it, just enjoying these games as they come.

@Aussie Bruin - You have to wonder if Sweeney used the deadline to clear out players he thought were a problem in the room?
There is a path to a playoff slot. The key is to avoid regulation losses.

Lorhei has definitely improved his decision making. He’s having less gaffes and that’s what you want to see in a young player. It’s progress. I am sure he will still have some more gaffes but as long as he’s working towards more good play vs gaffes you get excited on what he could become cause the talent is there
I loved that game, they never gave up. Zaddy waiting until the end of the game to get that dirty rat was perfect. I loved his interview afterwards.

Great win. I really enjoyed the past two games. Shows how stale this team has been. Put some hungry and aggressive guys on the puck and the other team makes mistakes. Love Silky Mitts
3 goal comeback and Bennett gets his. ass beat? Color me excited. I know I’ll be watching every game going forward.

Wonder if NHL and networks are rubbing their playoff beards going #2 vs #7 Cats vs Bruins would have a story line of two.
. . . then what if Brad slew foots Peeke or chicken wings Geeke (al la Marcus J) or sticks a knee out on Mason. . . would he become our Joker to Batman, Lex Luther to Superman . . .
Anyway, loved Mason's stick tap and true joy on the bench as Middle Z came off the ice! Players are working their tails off and look happy. Thinking Fenway is on to something here. hmmmm.
Now . . .Big brother vs Little brother on Thursday.
