Cassidy and Chara on Pasta
Cassidy basically said that he has to grow up and be a leader, Chara said you have to pick your moments to show your skill and when to just play the system.

Charlie McAvoy is sticking it to opposing forwards as the next elite D-man
The Boston Bruins rookie was a popular preseason Calder Memorial Trophy pick. McAvoy has been a lot more than that one month into the season. The 20-year-old Boston University product leads the Bruins in assists (seven) and trails only his defensive partner, Zdeno Chara, among Boston skaters in ice time per game (22:56). The duo is tasked with shutting down the top lines.
The reason the Bruins are relying on McAvoy so heavily: their blue line has been battered by injuries. Torey Krug missed time to start the season, while Adam McQuaid is out an extended period after surgery to repair a broken right fibula. McAvoy's workmanlike play will be a crucial bridge for a team with an identity crisis. Boston's roster is a blend of aging veterans who helped win the Stanley Cup in 2011 and a crop of youthful players that the front office is ushering in.

I think we need a bonafide tough guy. I don't care which way the league is allegedly going, the dirt bags are still running around. The fact is our best players are getting run every night. Last game it was Pasta, Marchand is getting pummeled on a nightly basis and we know the refs turn a blind eye when it comes to Marchand when he's on the receiving end that is. The Kings ran Rask two or three times when they came to town. Enough is enough, we have some guys that can fight but nobody wants the job. Got to get a fighter. IMHO
Pretend tough guys need not apply.

Hopefully one of their transactions lands that monster stay at home defensemen who can skate with quick forwards and keep teams more than honest.

That was a filthy hit. I wonder is Danny over there for the love of the game or is he there to make a living. It's funny, we begrudge some of these bottom six guys for maybe costing too much (cap wise) but careers are so short and hockey is how they know to make a living.

Chara is the only one on the list I would consider and it can wait to see how the season progresses, and how much is he looking for ..

We seem to be on the kill more than the power play most nights . He is very good on the Kill not so speedy anymore on the PP . Not a fan of Pasta on the point during the PP either ..

Brother, it's absolutely crazy how the reffing system have changed this game..I mean, seriously? Like, Dont be swearing on the ice cause a child might hear you.. Christ, say please and thank you to the linesman when he drops the puck for fuck sake. Sorry KSJ for my terrible language but this really pisses me off bigtime what Marchand said. Christ, nobody chirps anymore??? >:DGive me a friggin break and TAKE YOUR LITTLE GIRL TO BALLOT OR FIGURE SKATING.. Isnt the game fucked up enough already??? Maybe they should get the "Wiggles" halfway through the game to sing some kiddie songs for an hour. I mean they want it family oriented for God's sake or maybe have holy communion during intermissions for the players. Ksj, now you got this crooked Newfie going. Lard Jumpin' dying Moses boy, never seen da like!!

Miss Krejci on the point.... Agree ...would like to try parking Chara in front of the net again can’t hurt right now . I'll say this about the current power play, it's unpredictable, unstructured, gives up too many chances against but it is ranked top 5 in the league. (At least it was) Our entries are erratic but once we gain the zone Pasta and Marchand seem to be flying around without a plan but they do throw the opposing PK off balance. It's frustrating as hell to have Pasta manning the point though, he's not a good passer and he'll never be a PP quarterback. Right now we don't have the people for any kind of second unit so we should be using McAvoy on the point with Krug and Past should set up on his off wing around the circle for one timers. Remember last year, when we had Marchand and Pasta on the second PP unit. The first unit had Backes/Bergeron/Spooner and Krejci/Krug at the point. I think that was a Julien line up.
