23-24 Bruins Season Thread
- Thread starter cshea
- Start date
I doubt it - they wouldn’t bring Lohrei up to sit, so they’d need to move a LD first.
It’s more likely that they’re starting cap machinations with a stretch of home games (Keep sending Mitchell up/down in paper transactions to bank cap space), thinking about giving Zboril another shot, or bringing Heinen on board.
I don’t think they’ll go with 6 Ds for any length of time.
Is there a gif of someone just nodding like crazy? Or should I just turn on my phone camera?
I don't wish injury on anyone but if that's the case I hope something is wrong with Forbort for at least tomorrow night, or maybe questionable. Or maybe they want him in the building to experience the energy. Last thing I want him to do is come up and sit or play his wrong side
If the report is true, it’ll be interesting to see what moves get made with Forbort and Zboril.
They could split third-pair games between Lohrei and Forbort as a way to ease Lohrei into the league.
Zboril seems to no longer be in their plans.
I'd love them to trade Forbort, but if I had to bet on what's more likely for him, a trade or an extension with a raise I'd sadly put it all on the extension
Zboril’s already been waived, cleared, and sent to Providence. It’s fairly obvious at this stage that his Boston Bruins career is probably over, and his career in North America is likely winding down.
Just out of curiosity, is there anything in the salary cap rules that would prevent the Bruins from signing Bergeron or Krejci towards the end of the season? I mean, they both sounded pretty happy to retire, so I don't really see it happening, but... this Bruin team looks like it has the makings of a contender and either of them would be better than anyone the Bruins could trade an arm and a leg for at the deadline.

Montgomery said that Milan Lucic will be out for a couple of weeks with a lower-body injury.
Lauko out for a week, he has a fracture, along with letting the swelling go down.

They have to sign by a certain date to be eligible for the playoffs. It was a thing 2 years ago when Krejci was playing in the Czech Republic.

Bergy doesn’t strike me as a guy who would do the half season thing but I guess you never know.

But Poitras intercepts and scores.
Sorry- lame attempt to modernize the "Jesus Saves, but Espo scores on the rebound"
Brown and Boqvist recalled, Mitchell assigned to Providence, per official PBruins transactions.
So still no contract for Heinen. I guess the 4th line is Beecher (hurray!), Boqvist and Brown for now? The Killer Bs indeed.
Glabellar stitches fucking suck. You feel them every time you do anything with your face, which is all the time.
Lohrei SZN. Him and Zbroril are coming up. Brown and Boqvist are going down to Providence.

Wonder if there's a defensive injury that's popped up. Or they finally shot Forbort into the sun, but I don't think we're that lucky.

What a likable guy -- I join everyone on this board in wishing Jakub a speedy recovery and, as far as the future gig as a model is concerned, know that its a fickle and fadish trade -- which means that "stitches and shiners" may well be the next big thing!

Lucic to LTIR is why these moves were made yesterday. Bruins wanted to get as close to the cap as possible before putting Lucic on LTIR in order to maximize their LTIR pool (the amount they can now go over the cap).

Friends fly free - I wish he’d taken Brown with him.
4th line is now Beecher flanked by Steen and Brown. Hope they hassle the Winfs tonight.
Anyone concerned about Lindholm? Through 8 games he has a line of 0-0-0. Coming into this year, since his arrival in Boston he had one 6-game pointless stretch and 2 3-game pointless stretches in regular season play. So 8 is his longest stretch without a point as a Bruin.
Of course, he also has 0 points in 11 playoff games as a Bruin. And if you count reg season and playoffs together, Lindholm is currently on a stretch of 17 games without a point (the final 2 of last season, the 7 game playoff series, and the first 8 this season).
He did break his foot last season and did not look himself in the playoffs. And this year, he is essentially carrying the same load in terms of ice time that he always has. But he is a -2, where every other defenseman who has played is at least a +1.
Just a fluke, or is he not all the way back from his injury?

Yeah a fractured foot would really hinder him in the playoffs, especially pushing off, but since I see no surgery I'd imagine he should be fine now.
I'm not really worried about him yet in a way that I didn't expect him to keep the pace he started last year with. He had 53 points last year, previously maxed at 34 back in 14/15. I expect him to slot in at around 35-40 points, which is great. He seems to be skating well, and you never hear his name called on the broadcasts, which is a good thing since he's not making obvious mistakes. If we are at the end of November and he's still at only a few points I might worry, but not there yet
I think he looked bad his first few games, especially in his own end. Felt like he righted the ship against San Jose, especially in the offensive end.
Heinen in place of Brown on the 4th line in this morning's practice. Brown split time w/ Forbort on 3rd pair D
