Tools and probably more importantly, the toolbox to boot. Very encouraging.

Idk I agree with DKH, rangers only goal came when Beecher had possession, he dumped into the offensive zone(no line change occuring), then half heartedly chased after the puck and basically just handed the puck to the rangers. Then the rangers immediately scored off beechers turnover and lack of effort.
Simply can’t have low hockey IQ and low effort plays like that.

But, taking the pre season as a whole, I think he earned a spot for the opener.
Maybe by game 6 that changes, but I don’t think he played himself out of a spot last night.

Righteous bucks!
Puts himself (Patwah) in the right position.

Easier from up here
You're looking at it backwards. He had to play himself into a spot. Just OK won't do that. We'll see.

Johnny had a good camp overall
Lot to like
Grow a bushy beard look mean and get a neck tattoo of something tough and get caught on ‘Pangers’ mic calling a player an f’n p***y
Fans will love him
I would like to see Poitras stay but please protect him.
I don't want what happened to Bergy early on happen to him.

I think Beecher makes the roster and gets a few games before they make a decision. I don't think he played himself out of a spot last night.
Poitras earned 9 games to see what he can do.
Sway looked great.

This game reflected exactly what everyone is seeing on paper.
Excellent goaltending, very good defense, good special teams and 5 on 5 offense that struggles just to get chances.

I've always hoped that one day he'd bring the truculence. Overall I think Charlie has really stepped up his game. Now let's see him be consistently this good.
I also loved the way he got his goal. I want to see more of that from him and his teammates. They've got to stop shooting from 20-30 feet out, it is too easy to defend against that.
Is there a video of the fight?
He's American and played in Hockey East. That's tier 1 for Sweeney pick ups

Don't Geekie, Poitras and Freddy all play some C? Funny that could be a line. I don't think that line is going to have a fun time of it in the NHL, possession-wise. But if you watch the game to be entertained, I think they could be entertaining. I think Monty will be doing his darn best to get them in ozone starts all year, lol.

Yeah I don't know what to expect when it's for real. But if you told me we were bottom 20% of the league in scoring I'd believe you. Scoring from lines 3, 4 and the D will decide how bad it's gonna be I guess.

Bottom 20% would mean losing 73 goals from last year and scoring at a rate worse than the Islanders last year. Really think that’s going to happen?

So, 3-4 really good games get overshadowed by one ok game?
I mean, he’s not exactly battling with Pastrnak for a spot.
I think he’s done more than enough to be the 4c on Wednesda.
I don’t see Geekie on the 4th line.
I‘ll probably be wrong about it, but I think Beecher makes it.

As the game went on I thought the the chemistry with Fredric was coming along. They might just work well together. Fredric is the closest thing the bruins have to a fighter who can skate with high end talent. I feel like he has been tasked with making sure poitras is some what protected. I don’t think there is much you can do to protect from cheap shots. Poitras has to protect himself. You can try and drop the gloves with someone who cheap shots him but most nhl players that hit hard aren’t scared of being punched in the face.
Wasn't much of a fight because they were off balance befor punches could be thrown. Vesey's lucky because Coyle was irate after getting hit from behind and would have teed off on him.
I know. He is just so young and skinny. I like him. He looks like a baby up close.
I don't want anything to happen to him.

Why are we scared of something happening to Poitras? It's a risk you take in every NHL game you play. If we're concerned we might as well just keep him away?...
I get that. He is just so young. I am just being honest in the way I feel.
He looks great and I hope he stays.
Don't dislike him. Just behind the competition, IMO. But, it is very close with a lot of players at the bottom of the roster. It would neither surprise nor disappoint me if he made the team.
I also would prefer that Poitras be the center on the line with Marchy and Jake, and I also think that Coyle is best at 3C. But Poitras showed last night that he could excel at 3C.
