Hockey is back, baby!!!! Haven't seen you in a while, Low Qual and it's good to see ya. I'm pretty excited about this season. Goaltending and defense are gonna be great, if the offense can generate secondary scoring, I think we'll be in good shape.
The Bruins actually need more exhibition games this year. If Johnny Beecher does zero in exhibition and makes the team, im going to have to write a strongly worded letter to causeway st.
More talk about Lysell and this ubiquitous offensive talent ( playing 1st line and PP).. the stats don’t show offensive prowess. Look at his stats. For Sweden, nada, Vancouver 22 goals..in the Dub that’s no big woop, Providence…laughable. Blumel (Dallas) Steeves (Toronto)…. tough tough teams to crack the lineup. Lysell couldn’t crack the B’s during a terrible season…perimeter player, disappears when shit gets real. Not on my list and no one wants to trade for him. Move the F on.
Lauko scored a Michigan! 🤣 I swear if we have under performing bottom 6 duds & let him walk I'm gonna be pissed. 4th line sparker that could literally be on that cusp of figuring it out finally.
I can't stand when a B's fan says they're "out on Potsy". The kid is 21! He's still got a couple of years before he's fully developed! He's also got good numbers as is, there's no need to be down on him at all.
My God I can't fucking believe we are here again. I can't imagine a fall and winter without hockey. I literally get depressed in the summer when hockey ends. I'm taking my dad to our first hockey game this October. I already bought the tickets and hotel room. I can't wait.
Coach is already making comments that a guy like Blumel has to get used to going from 20 minutes in the minors to 7. Your line predictions are too easy. These coaches, just like the ones before them, pencil in whichever prospect makes the team as 4th liners before camp even starts.
If Sweeney just hands the backup job to Korpisalo without him earning it to keep him happy I’m gonna be pissed. Good teams don’t lose promising assets for nothing just to keep overpaid declining assets happy, they let people earn jobs through merit.
Good stuff. Here’s a question: of those that aren’t locks and that have to pass through waivers, who are the three most likely to be claimed? And who is least likely?
My Most likely: Blumel, Beecher, Kastelic
My Least likely: Korpisalo, Callahan, Kuraly
I’m on the fence on waiving DiPietro. The Oilers could claim him, but he’d have to beat out Pickard to stay – if the Oilers try to waive DiPietro, we could get him back.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I like Poitras a lot. Frankly if you signed Jeannot and it wasn't in part to protect Poitras than I'm really down on that signing.

blumel and mitten better make team, locmelis gotta trade poitras with mittle stadt or zach salary dump, poitras is next jack studnicka
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO
Let's Go Low Quality! Lysell going to have a huge year book it now!
Lohrie as of 5mins in is straight offensive, mcavoy is a mix and feels obligated but isn’t a drew doughty in his prime
MEGA-agree with the Poitras takes.
Booyah
There is no doubt in my mind that this Front office is the worst in the league at developing their young players.

He's starting Zacha down the middle.

I feel like Kastelic is as close to a lock as possible
Lolno. Boston will be bottom feeders this year.

Welcome back

Mediocrity shouldn’t be a goal. Fear of mistakes is just a recipe for mediocrity.
Finally some good ol' hockey talk from Boston. Nuckhead is really good and Toronto has steve dangle.

So does the risk calculus change anything?
