www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3dBwnt_ItUTitled "The most Electrifying moments in recent Bruins history"...Good lord, if you take blood pressure pills, keep them close..This is so very Electrifying..A must see for every Bruin fan.. Excellent... hoping to return there soon..Savard and Horton get a lump in my throat.. So did I..Hey, reading your earlier post, I got the sense you would rather keep Krug over trading him. Any truth to that?? FForr posted: Second trip to DL for Spooner for groin issue, not good for Donny.

I like Krug for the most part he just needs to read plays better and stop trying to do so much. He’s not the only Player by the way trying to do to much money 💰 changes some Players..

I would think twice before I would consider trading him. I know he has or had a team worst plus/minus and last season it was -10 but every other season his +/- was just fine. We as Bruin fans tend to forget that Torey Krug is one of the league's top offensive defensemen. This is his 5th season with Boston, not including 2 games in 2012 and 1 game following season. This season he has 16 pts in 23 games. Last season he had 51 points and the seasons before that he put up 44, 39 and 40 points. So take away all those assists and the Bruins are missing alot of goals!! He had to be top 10 last season with 51 points among D-men. I gotta check it out. Yes, Matt Grezlyk is looking pretty good, but that is quite a small sample size. MacAvoy will produce more goals for certain but where else will the offence come from inside the blueline?? Certainly not Miller, Quaider, Carlo or O'Gara. Chara's offence isnt coming back and God love him, he isnt expected to produce offensively. Yes we have some good prospects on the way but right now we need Torey Krug's 50 points or we'll be missing goals from someone. Now if there was a big offensive defenseman coming back, different story entirely.

Now if there was a big offensive defenseman coming back, different story entirely. I have said it before and I will say it again. I see Krug as an overpaid #5 defenseman. He hardly ever plays against the other teams top 2 lines(and when he does he looks lost). He never plays on the PK . He gets most of his points on the PP or against the other teams 3rd or 4th lines. I would be willing to bet that if Miller and Krug swapped spots Miller would almost have as many points. I honestly think that anybody could take his spot and we would not miss much if anything.

Barzal was impressive on Saturday night and like it or not we chose not to take him over the other three. All those picks are a gamble and in this case I suspect we past on a player that will most likely be better than the three we took. It happens. Our 2014 draft was incredible, our 2015 draft is already great with Debrusk and Carlo. We still have Zboril, Senyshyn, JFK, Lauzon and Gabrielle in the cupboard and if three of those guys make it, 2015 will have been a draft year for the ages. Charlie McAvoy at 14 with blue chip written all over him was a huge get. Bruins fans can not complain about drafting these past 4 years.

Didn’t know he was that big. Thought he was more like Krug’s size.

Larry Brooks.... Didn't I read somewhere last week that B's think Marchand needs protection? Why? Serial offender had all the protection he's ever needed from @nhlplayersafety.

Bruins played the least amount of games in league, some has played 6 games more. Yet they're off from Sat to Wed..Also I was looking at January schedule and Bruins play Habs 3 times. Here's what's awkward: Bruins are off from Sunday, Jan 7th to Saturday, Jan 13. That's when they play Habs for 1st time. Get this. Habs are also off from the same Sunday to Saturday. Like I said, It's weird considering they played the very least of games..

Didn't they have same thing last season?? Too bad its same time as Habs cause if they had a week off and we played lets say 3 games, Hopefully we would pull away from them a little with our games in hand..

barzal is a center. the b's took wingers and a d. if they took a center everyone would of said we have 1000 centers, why are they taking a center.
and he would be put on the wing. so i dont get the continued speculation and criticizing the GM.
damned if you do damned if you dont and what have you done for me lately.

Just like it’s stated in the article drafting Players can make GM’s look foolish like many of them that passed on Pasta . Time will tell on this next group but from what I have seen and read about we’re in good shape going forward..

Time will tell on this next group but from what I have seen and read about we’re in good shape going forward.. I'd be shocked if you can find another NHL team that has drafted as well as us since 2014. Obviously we didn't have a shot at Mcdavid or Mathews but from our drafting positions, volume of talent we've accumulated and the fact that it's far from an exact science I'd easily give us an A+. That's without even knowing what Zboril, Lauzon, Senyshyn, Lingren and the Fin we drafted last year (can't think of his name) are going to become. In 2014 we drafted Pastrnak 25th overall and in 2009 the Boston Bruins select 25th Jordon Caron or 2012 we got Malcolm Subban at 24th. There are a bunch of examples but suffice to say we've had a good run of drafting lately.

bruins are ranked #2 in prospects. if they drafted barzal i dont think they would be any different. and who knows what will happen with him. he could have a great freshman year and turn to a bum.
joe thornton had the worst first year ever and he turned into a hall of famer. these guys have nothing else to write or talk about.
i still would like to know why m. subban is putting up the numbers he is for vegas and looked like a sieve for boston.

When Marchand has been on the ice the Bruins have scored 17 goals, the opponents 2. Pretty good!
