He should of got his ass kicked right then and there but it’s not the ‘80’s, so I’ll wait.
The only guys on our team that could stand in against him and not get filled would be Nurse, Brown and a healthy Kane. Nurse wasn't on the ice, neither was Brown.

Connor Brown shouldn't be on a topline. Nuge continues to be underwhelming offensively.

Just a hunch I would elevate Henrique, Perry or Kapanen rest of game. They look like they could be going.
Yeah brown has 1 shot each game playing with Mcdavid, Nuge no better, just a horrible line 0 chemistry, only one to generate chances is Mcdavid if and it’s a big if they can even get the puck to him

If SKinner is hurt, maybe this forces this dumb a** org to try another goalie that can push him and play just as much.

Like what usually happens. Forced into a move.

If Zadorov won't answer the bell then Brown needs to wreck one of the Bruins stars and/or their goalie. Truth be told I don't expect Brown to win a fight against Zadorov but if he makes Zadorov have to face him because he wrecks someone while Zadorov is on the ice and gets a draw I'd call that a win.

Honestly the only player with guts on this team happens to be Kane. No balls

Bruins also got the #1 Penalty drawing player in the league. Bergeron.

Team should run Swayman as well if they get up a few. Wish we did that to Bob in the finals lol
We should. Tit for tat. And add that element of DIRT to our game that no doubt will be used against us in the playoffs. This team needs the element.

I hope they air this Joey Moss tribute every year to keep his legacy alive but also ensure new fans can be made aware of his special legacy. Absolutely incredible legacy of the Dynasty Oilers team that in the 1980's they embraced Joey as a friend and extended team member.

Rest in Peace Joey. Nice to see your joyous face again.

Knobby hates physicality. It means we're going to have to rely on other teams wearing down our oppnents prior to facing them in playoffs, and that our stars probably show up to another finals appearance too banged up to produce much again (Drai in finals). It's the last missing piece to this team figuring it out but something that our coaching staff is actively preaching against.

The other day, Jeff Skinner led the team in hits with 2. That shit is unacceptable.
If I had once choice as to a player I'd like bring back from previous Oiler teams, it's Chris Pronger.

Bruins sure give up a lot of zone possession. Get running around a lot in ownzone. Gotta feel lonely for Pastaman to be a scorer on that club. Popgun offense for much of the year. There isn't much the Bruins do well. Pay off officials. About it.
