2019-20 Boston Bruins Thread
 

Season starts pretty soon. I am very excited for hockey but I am not excited about this team.

Bruins made almost zero changes. This was a team that would have been crushed by TB had TB not been crushed by Columbus.

Tukkaa still isn't the guy that will get it done.

Chara is a year older.

Bergeron enters the year hurt.

I am very underwhelmed at the off season that this team put out there. They retained McAvoy but they didn't make any notable acquisitions. None.

My prediction is 98 points, a playoff birth and a second round exit with TB showing them the door.

Minus Tuukka they would not have been in game 7 of the finals. Unfortunately the entire team decided to take game 7 off.

I will definitely give you that. He stole at least one game in the Leafs series. I think it was game 6 in Canada IIRC. Game 7 he was good too.

However, there are more instances of him pooping his pants than there are instances where he stole a game.

Can’t believe it’s hockey season already. It just ended.

This team is old and slow. Probably the last hurrah for a number of years.

Very true. There is zero young blood on this team.

Not sure about the minors.

I think Tass has a good grasp on the kids in Providence. Hopefully he will weigh in.

Pretty sure the Donato trade will bite them in the ass also. The forward group has some high end skill and tenacity but is light on depth, and needs some youngsters to step up and fill it out. Journeyman Brendan Gaunce is still young and a solid 4th liner. Sweeney needs to somehow swing a deal. Dumping Backes would be a start, but darn difficult if not impossible. Maybe straight up to Vancouver for Louis Eriksson? :)
I believe that Rask and Halak will do a very solid job in the net.
IMO the D is still way better than average with Krug, McAvoy, Carlo and that old Slovakian ogre.
The dreaded Canadiens might just overtake the B's if they don't watch out.

Off to a good start

Is this coyotes team going to be any good this season?

Sheesh. This offense has been lackluster so far. Luckily, the goaltending has been outstanding.

Calling off that goal is bummer

This Kuhlman kid is great to watch

Good game tonight.

Awesome pass by Ritchie.

That thing had eyes on the front and smoke from the back.

Great night to be home. B's and C's both on tv

That was a rocket!

Ah! Damn. And now a chance for the blues to get it back. Damn

Where is tarasenko on tye Pp?

Wow! What a Pk!

Solid win tonight.

Playing the rangers tomorrow.

Bruins looking good tonight against the Rangers. Up 5-1 over Rangers in the third period.

Yeah, bruins might be ok this year.

Patrice Bergeron hat trick! My favorite Bruin.

Looks like old and slow is winning out over young and crappy.
