Let's just remember that 82 solid regular season games ended up meaning very little last year...so 5 preseason games mean even less in the grand scheme. Let's see where they're at in November/December then we can hit the panic button.
Post-Game Talk: PS 5 - Washington 5 BRUINS 4
- Thread starter Alicat
- Start date
If he did he would owe the Bruins money.
I’m sure it probably won’t happen but I would go with this. Exciting team to watch with low expectations. I think the expectation should be just to make the playoffs. Rather play the kids instead of some slugs and get the same results.

This to me is excellent summation deserves more than like from me
Since the Flyers are rebuilding and just saw Mitchell twice I am them I grab him - gotta look at who he’d bump but I would seriously be on him
Toronto another team he would look good on based on their firepower and his game
Lohrei is 22 and coming from Ohio State where he had access to elite training facility
He looks ready to me especially on a loaded D with Lindholm, Carlo, McAvoy, and Grzelcyk where he can be shielded a bit not that he needs if
Agree on Heinen - he can move around and play with talent - 13 points 15 games with Bergeron & Marchand
I forgot my phone once and wasn't about to drive back to NH. I went to the box office and they printed me a ticket.

This is pretty much what I’m getting from friends - Heinen over Boqvist & forbort dealt and 6-7 D is Shattenkirk/Mitchell
I forgot my physical tickets for game 6 Finals Vancouver 2011 walked over to box office - they just gave me a slip and I was in within a minute with yute - I knew from going there so long the employees and they chatted with yute and boom - in
He did look a bit nervous at first. I thought Milan looked excellent out there.
He did seem to be on the ice a lot for a 4th line guy.
Could you hear the fans yelling LOOOOOOOCH?
I am not worried about Pasta.
I think he will be fine. If he gets 60+ goals again his defensive game won't matter much. I also thought he improved his d game last season.
Last night means nothing.

He was the old Milan Lucic. I couldn't believe the way he was moving. He looked great.

Ignores/60 = Elite
I'm not sure they can carry Heinen on a PTO. Once the pre-season is over they'd need to make a decision if they are going to sign him or not.

The Bruins carried Gagne on a PTO until almost January from what I recall. Not sure if the CBA was changed, but it's been done before.

Gagne was on a tryout for the pre-season and then signed 1yr deal on October 14th.
Kuntar stood out to me last night compared to Lauko for certain. He absolutely will start in Providence but he showed a lot last night. IMO outplayed Lauko and Frederic.

Agree with most of your notes, but thought Zboril looked lost out there. Few bad plays going after an already covered guy leaving a guy wide open in front of the net. Lots of bad coverage. Definitely not as slick as he looked last preseason.
Seems like a guy that could use some playing time in Providence given he's barely played much hockey the past 2-3 seasons and just chills in the pressbox most of the time.

Is Looch reborn in Boston?
Shattenkirk looked terrible.
Thought Ullmark looked sluggish early on. Not much chance on Wilson's goal from the slot but he was waving at it after it hit the net.
Was hoping for more out of Frederic & Zboril.
Beecher showed off his wheels a couple of times.
Poitras may be the answer to the big question.
Heinen was very good. Broke up one play where he was the only Bruin in the slot in front of Ullmark. Not exactly the wingers assignment.
Monty was pretty short with his answers after the game. Yes, pre-season doesn't count and we mainly look at what the young players do. But from a coaches view that was one shitty performance from the team.

I get that it's a bad look for Pasta on that play. But I'm not going to get too bent out of shape over a preseason play. He was caught out there on the end of his shift to do something most forwards would have issues with during the season where it counts more.
Won't happen but I prefer:
G 35\1 ( Might have to split 50\50 because #35 is going to be peppered more and I worry he'll get injured because of it).
D 73,28, 25, 6, 48, 12, Mitchell, Forbort (Can't they get rid of this guy, can't be waived right?)
F 21, 18, 88, 63, 51, 74, 43,13, Geekie, 17, 19, Lauko, 26 (sent down probably as I type this)
Waive Steen, Boqvist, Brown (He will be on roster), Zboril and Greer ( Think he will be on roster).
Haven't crunched the $$ on this group and maybe slightly over cap.

Guys you darn well know that come the regular season, Monty is never putting Poitras at 2C and Coyle at 3C.
Poitras line getting outshot 1-9 and hemmed in all night is more of what he cares about. He's gonna put mature bodies in those big minute spots. Coyle is in the top 6, the end. And since Zacha is too, the only question to me is if Monty can make a 3rd line with Poitras that makes sense, or not.
