2022-23 Bruins

That first period yesterday was the worst I have seen them play probably all year. Passes weren't even close, and they got no bounces their way... Impressive they won.

Crazy how much the approach to goaltending has changed. Most goals I see now are 5-hole as he moves/drops, and upper shelf both blocker and glove side. They all play a down style game and they have to be 6'5" or taller to cover the top of the net!
 
I think the goaltending style is simple. Make a profile that covers the most sqft of the net. Nothing has changed….. except for the physical fitness and flexibility of goalies and all players. Gotta have some good knees to butterfly those pads on the ice. Must be nice to be in your 20’s early 30’s

Oh. Didn’t realize they had green on the warm up. Didn’t see it. Don’t want to see it. Probably for st pats day. Just another shirt to sell in the pro shop for $100 or more.

I became a Red Wings fan traveling to Detroit a lot in the 90’s during the Stevie Y. era of near total domination. Every year during a big trade show we did at Cobo our marketing director would take me to the pro shop to get a jersey. Back then I think the real Nike ones were 250 or 260 bucks.

Can’t believe the Bruins Wings game right now is blacked out.
 
My two boys and I were in town to catch a Bruins game not too long ago......street sign was a photo op.
Proud to say I raised them right.......never had any problems with either one of them.....upstanding, hardworking and respectable.....to be truthful my wife had a lot to do with that.

Ive been paying more attention to the Rangers lately ... they played a great game against Pittsburg.

The more i see of Trouba the more I would like to see a Bruins player with similar attributes.
 
Buffalo and Seattle are going to be good, very good in the not too distant future if they keep their core young players. That Tage Thompson kid should become a superstar if he continues to improve his all around game. Everyone already knows he is a sniper. 6'6" with good hands and skates well.
 
Another great weekend of Bruins hockey coming up......Tampa and Carolina.....love the 1pm and 5 pm starts. It was great to see Marchand step up to defend a dirty hit on Bergeron in the game against Montreal the other night....and come away with another win.

Great game!....Like the logo says "dont poke the bear"!
Game starts with a brawl.....Hathaway fights Tampas goon.
Then Goon Maroon gets another penalty and bruins score on the pp. Pasta denied his 50th goal on two great chances. Hathaway scores the go ahead and Bruins clinch. Goal tending was outstanding on both ends. Cant miss todays game with the hurricanes!
 
Another great game vs. the Canes. Even being down 3-1 the energy was still there. A few adjustments and we are back in the game. Fantastic overtime and an even better shoot out. Lets hope they play with this energy Thursday night. My wife and I are spending the night in Boston for the game.
 
So they didn't play with the same energy they have been playing with lately. They looked soft, terrible back checking, couldn't get it in the zone and when they did they couldn't keep it in the zone. Crap game. The over time was a different story....came away with a point at least. And....the Presidents trophy.

Absolutely horrible officiating.
Should have expected it when In pregame they were congratulating ref on his retirement at end of this season as he retiring and his last game in Boston. Hmmmmmm. Can u say fixed game.
But u did get to see one of best bruins fights ever by. Frederic. No grabbing. No clutching.. No dancing. Just bang. Over.

Opposing teams taking cheap shots at our teams captain wont be tolerated. Frederic is not the only one to step up . Marchand did not hesitate to defend a late hit on Bergeron last week.
