4/8- Devils @ Bruins
- Thread starter cshea
- Start date
100% fully guilty of this. Also completely willing to love to admit to being wrong
They should, and then reset the clock and make the Devils come back out on the ice so the Bruins can kick Meier's ass.
Brad’s hit looked worse than it was. Shoulder to shoulder was the intent and first contact but he kind of missed and momentum carried him through.
But also to be fair I have been well out of fucks to give since the league stole a SCF game from us so I’m not really the right person to ask.

"No McAvoy AND Marchand for dozens of games to start? It's probably a lost season..." -me at some point
I'm thinking about how humorous it would be to break the points record in Montreal. One last gift before the real season starts.
For me, I realized the last month or so I don't think this team knows how to lose a game, regardless of whose in or out of the lineup. They only know how to go out and execute and they are doing it far better than anyone else right now
It really helps when you’re legitimately 15F, 8D, 2G deep. Assuming Foligno and Forbort are healthy for Game 1, you’re gonna have trouble picking a player to come out of the lineup for them.

I think your ranking of the fifth line/ fourth D pair is exactly who will sit. But this is also still a hockey team: guys get banged up and the playoffs take two months. All these players are going to get ice time. I think the luxury for the Bruins is they never really have to rush anyone back and just push through injuries, even in the playoffs.
In the short term, I really would like to see Brad get some rest. He just looks not like himself. Maybe give the whole first line a day off?
That will be great. Jack's head might explode.

We’re in violent agreement. They can likely withstand multiple centre injuries if they had to, thanks to both Zacha and Frederic filling in well (Zacha more for the top 2 lines, Frederic for the bottom 2). It’s also a team that has Mike Reilly and Chris Wagner just sitting in Providence, and Anton Stralman just kinda hanging around. There’ll be no Tommy Cross moment in this year’s playoffs.
