GDT: Gm 13 - Ottawa Senators @ Boston Bruins/11-1-14/7P ET/NESN, CiTA, TVA, 98.5 FM ‎

The kids have been amazing tonight. We actually iced a 3/5 Providence PP with Griffith, Trotman, and Warsofsky.

 

[Gee Wally]

Holy crap, the Stars brawl was 6 years ago....

It was a defining moment iMO

 

[SanDogBrewin]

I saw LA just got their first DD too?

Winchell's disappearing and Krispy Kreme just weren't a hit in a lot of So Cal areas.

Enter Dunkin Donuts

 

[Hali33]

Nice to see Fraser show up and respond after doing the healthy scratch thing.
Parts of his game still need some work but the guy can definitely shoot.

 

[Hali33]

And you don't demote Kelly with the way he's been playing this season.
He's also taking face offs for Yeti while he's having wrist problems.

 

[Johnny Postman]

Holy crap, the Stars brawl was 6 years ago....

Unbelievable, was at the game that night. Nice memories.

Though my fav was later that night watching Bruins in 2 after I got home & hearing Jack complaining about Ott & Avery. Lol

 

[ElkabombKid9]

Don't you know that our 2nd line should be Marchand-Spooner-Fraser? Come on Ali, keep up!

Spooner had his chance

 

[GoBs]

All this talk of Morrow frequently being out of position, so far I don't see that tonight. Kid is playing a heady game.

Both him and Warsofsky playing great D.

That's weird there was a Krispy Kreme here, to for like a year... And then just gone. I guess their coffee doesn't compete

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

Spooner had his chance

Yes, I was being sarcastic.


Hey while Chara is out, in theory is this squad in the top 20% youngest in the league? Must be right?

Seids/Kelly bring the average up, but man a lot of young guys on this team. Average age has to be what, 24? less?

Niether do there donuts. Phil doesn't care though

My Mothers first job was at a Winchell's in Westminster in the late early '70's, thats where my parents met. RIP Mom. BTW Krispy Kreme is horrible, we had one here in Fresno for a couple of years before it went belly up. So much sugar you could almost feel your teeth rotting as you ate, that place is disgusting.

 

[HumBucker]

Has Paille ever played RW?

If Fraser can play like this consistently - I don't mean 2 goals every night, but playing this well - Gagne might need to spend some time in the press box. He's been pretty non-impactful lately.

 

[Gee Wally]

Ok. Keep on the offensive. Forwards continue to be responsible. Let's finish this thing. No ****ing dramatics please.

 

[DitClapper]

Fras has a crazy shot. Kid is one of the best I've seen in a while in the slot.

 

[ashnathan]

I hope the brass are replaying Smity's net rush over and over again and telling the rest to do the same, its such a no brainer

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Fraser needs to prove he belongs in the lineup when everyone is healthy. This is a good start but can't get carried away here.

He's not going to score two goals a game obviously, but he's a guy that scored a ton in the AHL, has an elite shot, but is not an elite skater. This goes back to putting players in a position to succeed. With his attributes, you are doing him and the team a disservice by not putting him with a C that can create and take advantage of that shot. Playing him (or Gagne) on the off wing 4th line with checkers like Soup and Paille is a waste and a recipe for ineffectiveness. I would rather see CC, Knight, Robins, etc., there.

As someone else already suggested, even if there is not room for him here, build up his trade value. Just not good asset management IMO.

 

[BadBruins]

Great effort so far.

Even without the two goals, Fraser looks a lot more comfortable on his natural side. That shot is absolutely lethal. Pass from Soderberg was just as impressive.

 

[DitClapper]

Claude getting a 3 year contract extension.

 

[northeastern]

It was a defining moment iMO

Agreed. I don't see that same anger in this team anymore

 

[dabid]

ottawa's play-by-play duo have the reverse dynamic of jack and brick lol

so they're good?

 

[Alicat]

So apparently HNIC says CJ is getting a 3yr extension... Hell yea!

Yes, I was being sarcastic.

I know you were...

 

[Neely08]

It was a defining moment iMO

Yeah. Was that the one w/ 3 fights off the bat? Or when Niskenen looked at Hnidy during a line brawl and said.. "yah, too bad I don't fight, jah?"

And, Hnidy said.. "Well then it sucks to be you!!", and absolutely fed him?

Both were great.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Spooner had his chance

He did?

Would have liked to see Fraser or Spooner on Carl's left awhile ago, with Kelly centering the 4th line.
