If we get a couple of PP's and shorten the bench again we could come back. I mean really shorten the bench because we're carrying allot of garbage in the bottom six.

Seabass, he's on 2nd pp unit so you know he only gets 30 seconds and sometimes less. What I'm saying is he should be on top line. He's our best player and I just don't understand it!! I'm quite surprised to see Czarnik on the 1st PP unit. Thought he was more of a defensive specialist.

Down by 2 goals, our best goalscorer should see more PP time, at least that's the way I see it. But you make a valid point of going up against their #2 penalty kill!!

Also it's a long year, Brad is our top PKer also. When Bergeron gets back everybody slots in better on PP, PK and most of all 5 on 5.

Marchand wasn't on top pp unit last year either.

Marchand wasn't on top pp unit last year either. I don't think Brad really fits with our 1st pp unit. It's system revolves around Krug/Krejci up top distributing the puck. Marchand skates around and needs the puck on his stick allot.

Weak start but they arecobtrolling most plays. Leads are clicking but Bruins making some sweet passes just can't get it pass Anderson. Third period coming up. Lots of Bruins fans here. And those marshy penalties bah just cause he's marshy..

Colin Miller played the least of all defencemen. Miller played 8:52 while Carlo played 15:11. O'Gara even played 11:05..

Miller a team worst -3. When Mcquaid returns, I think he could very well be 1st cut..

Chara's game is totally done, C Miller an AHLer, Krug is so far off game shape I'm afraid he might get hurt, we have two rookies, Carlo not bad and I think O'Gara will go down to the AHL when we get healthier and that makes Liles our best D by default. That's a stretch but I think we need to give Winnipeg what they want for Trouba. This version of the Bruins are in for a long year.

We have
Chara - The Pylon Krug - The overpaid number 5 dman Chiller - The Dman with the best speed and shot but can't hit the net, make a pass or catch one Liles - A good number 6 dman
And 2 rookies.
If they can't make a trade play the kids. Screw Chara, Screw McQuaid, Screw Killer, Screw Liles

The 2 rookies, especially Carlo and Liles are doing ok. Chara is what we expected. But if Jets still want Pastrnak and Spooner for Trouba, not gonna happen.
I would try a Spooner, Mcquaid and a draft pick for Trouba deal. Or Spooner and a pick for Fowler..They can have half our defence too except the rookies.

Carlo will gain experience and get better but everyone else is just not good enough. Bergeron coming back will help solidify the forward group and improve our possession time so that'll be helpful at least. I think Sweeney/Neely will learn in the next two weeks that the current lineup will cost them there jobs at the end of the year.

I like O'Gara but I think when he does gain experience he's still a 5-6 pairing guy on a good team like McQuaid/K. Miller. Fowler to me is like Krug, good offensively but never going to be a strong defender. Julien could probably make Trouba a top pairing defender.

I'd be open to moving Pasta in a Trouba deal, Pasta has the high end skill set but he still tries shit that makes me want to pull my hair out, the little I have left.

Ok, Pasta for Trouba sounds reasonable to me but they want more..How far more would you go?? Pasta, Hayes and throw in a 1st rd pick just for taking Hayes although he's looked half decent first couple games..

Tall order last night and especially without your best center and goalie. That's one reason the first power play unit looks like it does. Krug is better off playing with a physical defenseman. DK and Krug both not up to speed. Spooner is a worse wing then he is a center, not really a factor out there. Like the work that pasta has done in the off-season. Have the other three lines come close to scoring yet, very much a work in progress still.

Our bottom six right now has no chance of scoring. I can live with Moore, Nash and the other guy as long as they're not spending their entire shift in our end. I like Czarnik but his wingers are junk. Beleskey is just a more aggressive form of Hayes and we grabbed them both when they had career seasons. Marchand/Bergeron/Czarnik Heinen/Krejci/Pasta Beleskey/Backes/Spooner Nash/Moore/Acciari

Marchand/Bergeron/Czarnik Heinen/Krejci/Pasta Beleskey/Backes/Spooner Nash/Moore/Acciari Sorry, cant agree with your feelings on Beleskey. He was one of my Fav Bruins last season, was top 6 in hits, so he brought a physical game with him..He had 260 hits in 80 games. That's 3.25 hits per game..This season he only has 3 hits in 2 games. Yes he only had 15 goals and 37 points but we got him and I love his physical play, especially because he rarely gets a penalty doing his thing..Points wise, his 1st season in Boston was the most points he ever had.. I really don't think he belongs in the same sentence as Hayes, no comparison at all, BUT just my opinion..He'll get better as the season progresses..

The Bruins have got a lot of work to do. No Bergeron or Rask but they looked like a rag tag, thrown together team. At times last night it was hard to tell the top two lines from the bottom two.
Leafs looked half a step faster and even a bit grittier.
David Backes should retire. Losing a fight to someone who does their fight training at the Square One mall food court in Mississauga.

I really don't think he belongs in the same sentence as Hayes, no comparison at all, BUT just my opinion..He'll get better as the season progresses.. I respect your opinion nfld77. What I mean by that is I think Beleskey can compliment a line with two other skilled players with his energy and physical play. I don't really think he has much skill and when lined up with a raw rookie Czanik and Hayes I don't think we're going to get much out of him. Maybe I shouldn't have put him in the same sentence as Hayes (72 19 16 35) but Beleskey's (65 22 10 32) numbers were very similar in the year prior to them coming to the Bruins. Maybe they should try to put Beleskey on the right side with Marchand and Begeron. He can go create havoc while those two get creative.
