Abruzzese and Knies are the wildcaughts, that make discussions on planning for next years roster incredibly difficult. These guys have been fantastic at the College level, and pretty good in the Olympics... but we have no idea what we've got for the NHL level. If either, both, or neither make an immediate impact, it can drastically change our direction for next year.

Robertson/Knies/Abbruzzese/Steeves....pretty much have to keep a spot or two open for the kids next year imo.

He hasn't even practiced yet so no, I didn't think they'd place him over Simmonds. I know the 4th line has struggled badly, but there is Clifford there as well.

I'm happy with this for the record, even if I didn't think they'd play him on his first day with the team.

Especially with not having knowledge of systems and stuff. All though players grasp those pretty quickly I think, and coaching staff will be communicating to him in the game about it I guess.
 
playing Abruzzese is the right call. Not many games left on the schedule that will have a playoff intensity. This is one of them. If he is going to be an option for us in the playoffs, then we may as well see what he's got now.

no time like the present

also, he played college hockey at Harvard in Boston so this will just be a natural debut. A la Matthew Boldy (Hopefully)

B's fans lurking in our thread so they can post motivational fodder for their own lol

Sad part is the same ones that are copy/pasting things to make fun of over on the Bruins boards are the same ones who have shit tier takes of their own.

I thought there used to be a rule about cross posting between forums for the purpose of ridiculing but I must be mistaken. I don't see the point in it considering every fanbase has their nuts in it that post dumb things.

on my way to Montreal with my young lads to see a Pink Floyd cover band, so no Leafs for me tonight, but as always GLG

"Don't leave me now" ...I have "High hopes"... it is "Never too late"... for you to change your mind and "Stay"... home to watch the Leafs even though it is likely to be "Absolutely curtains"... for them tonight.

Enjoy the show with the lads.

Kind of scrambled table but mainly just showing hits per game. The stat near the start of the table. Bruins our 3rd in hits per game. Leafs are 28th.

Not making an argument one way or the other. There's many ways to win... but Bs still hit.

Sounds like Abruzzese isn't playing tonight after all. Makes a little more sense to me.

You hate to read into this more than might be there, but did they not think he was ready, or did he tell them he wasn't good to go? Or, was it never the plan to have him play at any time for tonight's game?

Are they going to debut him in that potentially wild grudge match with Winnipeg?

I believe they're a top 5 team in hits and fights and they're also an elite possession team. If they're not 'heavy' then I'm not sure who is. If you're just talking about straight up size, that's a different discussion but 'heavy' is a play style / mentality as much as it is physical size. Even then it's not like they are particularly small either, they have a big bruising bottom six and on defense McAvoy, Carlo, Lindholm and Forbort are all huge.

Also funny to see Ladyfan liking your comment, she sure loves to lurk and crosspost to the Bruins board.

I hope they told him ahead of time what the plan was - hate to think he got tickets for his friends and family to come out and see him, and gets scratched without warning.
