I won't lie, I miss Big Z. He had a great game against the Flyers, skating and throwing his weight around. Lindholm was there. Didn't realize he is playing on the top line with Marchand and Pastarnak.
Bruins fans arent thrilled about either contract, nir should they be. Both players have been meh.

"still being evaluated" just means "we aren't telling you anything right now"

Yup Lindholm isn't an elite line driver. And I think it's compounded by Marchand being 36 years old now and having lost a step.

So you really only have Pastrnak as an elite guy in that top 6 now.

Doesn't help that the other top 6 forwards have had really slow starts to the year too:

Zacha - 3 points in 14 games
Coyle - 2 points in 14 games

A big part of why they were able to maintain success last season after losing Bergeron is because Zacha and Coyle became 60 point guys for them, they are nowhere close to that this season.

I could've told the Bruins that Lindholm-Pasta wouldn't be a good pairing.

Hope Pachal and Bahl give Lindholm a rough ride tonight.

Sulky Elias can eat a deek.

Go Flames Go!

I have watched 2 Boston games this year and they looked like ####.

They aren't some powerhouses they have gone through 3 coaches; I don't think they are a system team.

They are old and signed 2 suckers to massive deals. Actually 3 if you add in the nasty contract for Swaymen.

The lengths were way too long. They are not helping an aging Bruins team.

Zadorov is what he is. He will have a good to decent game, physical, move the puck and then have three shifts in a row where he is a disaster and throws the puck up the middle of the ice for a giveaway. He was nasty in that Flyers game and it was fun to watch. He also plays top pairing with McAvoy which is nuts to me.

As I said, Lindholm was there. His line did not do much all game. If he is your top centre you are in trouble.

I'm just happy Lindholm didn't want to re-sign with us, thanks Lindy.

When I was told he turned down $65.6m and was likely to be traded because Conroy had reached his limit I was a happy camper, and the insider who told me was too.

"they know what I want it could be done tomorrow" Is a direct Lindholm quote from early last season

Speculation is 9x8...give or take

Game 14 and some want to start bringing kids up that may ot may not be ready. I have a lot of faith in Conroy and Iggy. And I am pretty sure they are aware what it takes to get past the kind of environment it takes to keep the team competitive and moving forward developmentally.
