Nothing like a nice leaf’s get right game.

I just wanna point out another master stroke by the Donny maestro . Late 1st round pick John Beecher has blossomed into a solid dangerous 4th liner speed to burn and popping points. Don sweeney top 5 gm in the nhl.
Why is this the least of their problems? If you think it's no off season training for the reasons his game has slipped so be it but come on Father Time has caught up to him.
Not saying he is no longer effective but he is no longer top threat to other teams on a constant basis. And that's ok.
But to listen to posters say suck it haters after he scored his what first goal of the season and 6th I think in his last 30 games is laughable and childish.
Now we hear rumors of a three year deal? yikes

Not only he gave the puck away, he also gave up on the play few secs later so Pasta was alone there infront of the goalie.

This is what Razor pointed out too and said he wasn’t expecting #63 to be really ready to go at full-pace until mid-November.
People have zero patience and just don’t get it.
These are not robots, it takes time..

I watched the DVR later last night, and yeah, it was okay. There were signs of life and maybe a turnaround. Still a lot of stupid shit going on out there and it was nice to see the inability to defend a 6 on 5 has returned, but there were positives too. 4th line is great so far- what a pass by Beecher on that goal, Andrew Peeke has been good and was last night, and Zado has a lot of skill that doen't immediately come to mind when you think about him. E. Lindholm has been as advertised since he got here, so its too bad his linemates have been so poor so far. Brazeau and Poitras had solid games. Hampus has been somewhat of a mixed bag, but I think overall he's been decent. However . . .
Pasta, FFS. I always expect some terrible things from him because that is how he has always been, and the scoring has more than made up for it. He looks kind of brutal so far this season, though. The McAvoy PP experiment needs to end. That one goal they got was a beauty, but right now it feels like the blind squirrel strategy. Brad might be getting back to game shape but even so, he is not the Brad of three seasons ago.That's okay because it happens to everyone but he just isn't a game-breaker anymore and maybe needs a role that reflects that. Coyle, Geekie, Frederic still yuck out there.
Step in the right direction? We'll see. I hope so. I am going to the Dallas game on the 14th and I don't want to have bring a paper sack to wear on my head.

I thought Marchand looked better last night. Hopefully he’s coming around.
Zadorov played a great game.
Still too many guys MIA though. Coyle, Frederic, Geekie etc

far from perfect but much much more focused and determined effort. Good win , that 4th line or whatever you choose to call them has me smack dab in the middle of a man crush

No idea but considering how good Peeke has been it’s possible
Peeke the guy who has played controlled and steady
Living up to high second round pick
Peeke & Koepke very underrated pickups

I feel like I’m close to ordering a Kastelic jersey. Love everything about how he plays. Effort all the f***ing time.

Remember the Leafs are playing as well - they have a very good roster and a desperate team
Bruins played very well
Thank you. We all need love lol

my guess, Johnson signed and is playing vs Philly on the 29th and Geekie will be on the 9th floor

perfect 4th line C ~ I mean really perfect
He and Beecher go very well
Koepke the more I watch I think can play higher even if only L3
He’s solid, honest, smart
Tampa knows wtf they are doing

Absolutely. One of the new jerseys perhaps.
How long is he a Bruin for is the question.
Matthews is an extremely coddled superstar in Toronto. Cannot hurt his feelings.

Imagine flexing that a first round pick has blossomed into a 4th liner. Odd. Would you be happy if Letourneau did the same?
I do love Beecher though, hopefully he still has room to grow, he has the size and speed, maybe more skill comes later

Getting a nhl player in the draft who has impact is major win. Most picks are busts even in 1st round. Donny nailed that beecher pick.
I bet beecher trade value is quite high right now. Speed to burn kills penalties and points.

It appears that he is trying to do things that he used to be able to do but cannot any more. And before anyone brings up the surgeries and missed camp, he was like this last season and there was some of this in the season prior to that.

Auston Matthews on OT goal: "I thought somebody was coming back & then, as I went to pass it, I looked up & that wasn’t the case"
Facing your own net in D zone and pressured, 3X3 and he throws the puck where he THOUGHT someone was coming back. We can confirm he did not SEE any Leafs, blind pass and Bruins Goal. Top end talent can sometimes not be enough.
