Load management and competition it seems.He seems to be switching bottom players in and out each game.
I assume for load bearing in the final stretch?
As we get closer to the end I could see top players getting a game or two off.

We'll see how two righty's work out on the bottom pair.
Faster line up and a guy that plays with an edge inserted...I like. Just no dummy penalties.Seems like JvR will be scratched tonight and Lauko will get back into the lineup.
While I agree that Lauko needs to try to limit his time in the penalty box, he also draws a lot of penalties in the limited minutes that he plays. Though, with the PP's production - maybe it's a moot point.Faster line up and a guy that plays with an edge inserted...I like. Just no dummy penalties.
Yeah giving test is a good ideaHe seems to be switching bottom players in and out each game.

Monty just resting guys. When its go time i expect wortherspoon in lineupThese are the games that the Bruins have been struggling in, playing the average to below average teams. They get easily motivated for games against the top teams, I expect this to be another massive slugfest against a highly motivated opponent.
I have seen enough of Shattenkirk, why not stick with the Peeke-Wotherspoon pair.

Checking that game sheet its impressive for the callup Lohrei with less games still has more points (12) than Grz (8) and almost as many as Carlo (14). If he cleans up his D he'll have a bright future in the league.View attachment 838260

But do we cruise into playoffs and face a team who just got in like Florida last year? Its a tough spot. I think play hard and have your game going into playoffsKeeping guys sharp and letting the 34-35 year olds get some rest is totally ok by me. After Marchy, JVR and Shatty are the olds who can use it (hence that rotation). Be nice to get Marchy #400, and then some eventual late rest, standings permitting. Like what we didn't do last year...
I hope we rest the big guys. and maybe call up Bussi to take some games from our goalies.But do we cruise into playoffs and face a team who just got in like Florida last year? Its a tough spot. I think play hard and have your game going into playoffs
