Really surprised that Merkulov is not in the lineup? Thought he played well in his last game as he got into the flow as the game went on.

Excited to see Lohrei once again!

Love seeing Poitras in the lineup in back-to-back nights. Also cool that Kuntar is in for tonight. He continues to be an interesting player that I'm looking forward to watching tonight. On D I'm sure all eyes will be on Lohrei.

 

[Mione134]

All eyes on Pots tonight! They're giving him the opportunity. He's taking it so far! Eyes on Beecher too! No injuries! Let's get it!



You already know the drill!

 

[BMC]

I'm very happy Lucic is in the lineup tonight, he will keep Tom Wilson in line.

 

[UConn126]

Pretty legit lineup for Washington tonight. Get the TVR vs. JVR matchup lol.

Like the lines. Gotta figure JVR-Zacha-Pasta is a lock for an opening night line, and I really hope Lucic-Beecher-Lauko is the opening night 4th. I'm going to be very disappointed if it's not.

Excited to see Poitras with a legit talent in Marchand. Plus seeing how he handles the back to back. I think he's earned at least the 9 game tryout, but I could see him going straight back to juniors so we don't risk losing a player to waivers that we don't have to. Tough call.

Zboril needs a big game. He's definitely being challenged by Lorhei and Mitchell for a spot, and his higher cap hit makes him a pretty appealing trade/waiver candidate to clear more space. Keeping Mitchell as the 7th vs. Zboril saves $360k, which can be banked for the deadline. Plus you'd hate to lose one of the pieces from the Hall trade to waivers.

I'm very happy Lucic is in the lineup tonight, he will keep Tom Wilson in line.

I hope Looch gets a chance to knock him into next year with a check. Wilson has a history of being a predator even in the preseason. Nothing tonight would make me happier than Looch giving Wilson a free ticket to loopty-loop land.

 

[lopey]

Might actually get to watch tonight. Missed most of the games so far.

 

[McBrom7]

Okay, those morning rushes have me legitimately excited for tonight.

Lucic, please for the love of God keep Tom Wilson in check. We already lost Judon and Gonzo this week my and heart can't take a kid getting injured by some bone headed brute.

 

[JOKER 192]

For all the complaining I've done about SN , I gotta give it to them for presenting every single Bruins game in the pre-season. Much appreciated by this fan.

[Ladyfan]

My daughter and I are looking forward to seeing Looch tonight.

@GahdenRinkRat was going too but she doesn't feel well.

I expect a loud "LOOOOOOCH" when he steps on the ice.

 

[Clode]

Hoping Lucic pummels Wilson tonight

 

[missingchicklet]

Can't help but love this kid's quiet confidence. Also, it doesn't look like he misses many neck days in the gym.

 

[KrugAvoy]

Also highlights how irrelevant Brown has been to me. I didn't even know his first name was Patrick til I read the name bar in the background .

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

For all the complaining I've done about SN , I gotta give it to them for presenting every single Bruins game in the pre-season. Much appreciated by this fan.

Yeah, SN is still glitchy as f*** though. I hope they clean it up before the season starts.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Watch out for the scum Wilson.

 

[ON3M4N]

My mindset going into pre-season was not to get my hopes up on guys like Poitras/Lohrei making the team out of camp because it just doesn't really happen with the Bruins. With that said, to see that management wants him playing in back to back games is an eyebrow raiser (in a good way).

I'm especially concerned about the kids, I don't want that POS targeting them.

 

[NDiesel]

Im interested to see where Debrusk fits into the PP. JVR as the net front seems like a better fit to me, but Debrusk really should be on PP1.

 

[Tbaybruin]

Hey Matt I really don’t care how old you are. You are getting the job done and have been our best center. Just out score Bedard in game one. Thanks

 

[quietbruinfan]

I think they are getting closer to the A lineup. Like everyone, l am looking forward to seeing Lohrei and Poitras playing with skilled players. Interesting to see Kuntar is still here and in this group. I am not a fan, but he hasn't had a bad camp.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Really surprised that Merkulov is not in the lineup? Thought he played well in his last game as he got into the flow as the game went on.

Excited to see Lohrei once again!

I also thought Merkulov got better as his second game progressed, but probably not enough to earn another look. He and Poitras are essentially battling for the same spot, and Matt has simply jumped him in the queue because he's already thinking the game at a higher and faster level. Unlucky for Merk, he didn't super impress at camp, but I wouldn't say he damaged his rep either. He's had another taste and all he can do is head back to Providence, work hard and hope he earns another chance down the track.
