Matty Poitras injured again. Not good for this early in his career.

Potrias I think will end up in Providence to
Begin the year. Still taking too many hard hits and needs to learn a bit in that area. It seems they’ll sign Johnson and they already have a good chunk of third fourth liners already.

Make him top center in Providence with Lysell on his wing and see where it takes the both of them.

Could be he just needs a few months before rejoining the team. He was out for quite a long time and needs to get back into the swing of things

Do we know what the injury to Poitras is? Day to day seems like it's just something minor.

Hoping Jones gets in tonight- I've been looking forward to seeing play. For those that haven't, I think you'll like him and if he can stay healthy, he will be a fan favorite.

Based on today's skate, could see a Jones - Brown - Viel 4th line tonight.

Carl Hungus · 2024-10-03T14:46:06-0400

Would love to get a look at a Kastelic Beecher Jones 4th line, guessing that comes against the Capitals

I expect you will see that on opening night

Only pre season but seeing signs this team is gonna struggle scoring goals.

Still think we have no play making centers other than Matty P, Are Coyle and Zacha going to have another career year? Is Geekie really a 17 goal scorer?

We are going to find out soon.Elias Lindholm is a solid player.

Here's my concern with this team as it sits today:

Last season this team was middle of the pack in goals scored....and that was with Coyle, Frederic, Geekie & Heinen all setting career highs in goals scored. This summer we saw ~20% of our goals from last season depart the team via FA with DeBrusk, Heinen & JVR. You'll replace some of that with Lindholm coming in but you still need guys like Coyle, Frederic & Geekie to maintain their scoring from last season. You then need guys like Poitras, Lohrei, Lysell and the new bottom 6 additions to help cover the rest......and that's just to likely keep up a middle of the pack offense.

Here's the concern. Last season Swayman & Ullmark combined for a 33.2 goals saved above expected. They ranked 4th and 7th in the NHL. The Bruins last year allowed 221 goals, and if you add in those 33 GSAE from Sway & Linus, the Bruins would have barley been positive in goal differential at +9 for the season. At a +9 goal differential for the season, you're competing for a wildcard spot. Swayman is in limbo, Korpi is looking to build is game back and our back-up has never played an NHL game.

On top of that, the Bruins first 10 games aren't exactly a cake walk.

Of the first 9 games we play, 5 are very winnable for us.
If Swayze is not back for these games, I think 12 points is realistic.
Goal scoring has been our achilles heel for years. If Pasta / Marchy do not score consistently we lose.
This is why a skilled second line RW is so badly needed.
IMO with what we lost from last year ( 7 players), 63 goals lost.
I figure we will improve on this number with the additions we made.
This group should score 78 goals.
Lindholm - 22
Brazeau - 12
Johnson - 12
Lohrei - 10 ( plus 6 from last year)
Jones - 10
Kastelic - 8
Zadorov - 8

This is my concern heading into this year too. Scoring scoring and more scoring

I wasn't impressed with Lysell last night. But I also wasn't impressed with his linemates - including Coyle. LA played pretty stingy.

Hope he gets one more game this preseason to be sure he's not ready.
