I’m just glad Monty continues to listen to me. A duet or is it a stereo of the mind? Lohrei is a concern, the thought is Carlo brings defensive structure to the pairing. Wotherspoon and Shattenkirk are a concern as well in regard to defensive structure. It is what it is though without Peeke. I wasn't too keen on Lohrei playing in the playoffs but when i considier the options can he be any worse than Gryz? I think not and Mason has an offensive flair that can be crucial in a tight series.

To quote Monty, "He's not scared to go back and retrieve pucks" This we agree immensely on...also, I still feel look at all the games 6 could have played to be more NHL ready now and 29....all because of force-feeding 48 night, after night, after night, after night, after Isles suck series, after night, after night, after night, after more suck, and more suck, and more useless play...just a guy who has no real strengths and honestly he is worse now than he was in 2019.

Yeah, I had reservations on Lohrei but knew the Gryz familiarity decision would be an overriding factor before game one. I thought Gryz played ok the 1st game. Lohrei has much better offensive flair. Considering Toronto's defense, Lohrei weaknesses will not be as noticeable. I just read he may be paired with McAvoy. On a different note, it is JVR's chance to shine. He is not a Lauko speed demon, but he still may have something in the tank on the third line and especially on the 2nd PP.

Lots of things going on to that go back to the misuse of certain B's D all year...yes end result they did great and the team did great, blah, blah, blah.... Look, 12 is a better playmaker than 73...it's embarrassing to say that...and what's worse 27 has morphed into 25, which is great if you are 25, but not great if you are supposed be that guy from last season who put up career points numbers and is supposed to be an offensive talent to go with good D. These are the reasons why 6 and 12 became more important, but Monty refused to let 12 play even when he had some big moments with 88 and after a 3-assist game basically sits him 5 of the next 6 games....48 blocked guys...yes, he fucking blocked guys from playing. 29...he should never have been healthy scratched in the first place...not for 48...52 did great and I feel he will be part of the 6 next season, but now it's a NEED to have both 12 (PP) and 6 in the lineup...a fucking NEED v. a team that really can be exposed if pressure if put on them offensively...not just by the forwards, but the D too....6 yo-yoed instead play him every game...by now, he would be a stalwart, now it's a little mystery--I hope he comes through for B's.

One thing for sure, JVR can't be worn out because he played too much down the stretch.

Which one of you guys called in to Sirius NHL Network this morning. Didn't catch name but big Bruin fan from Boston. "Marchand playing like crap, McAvoy playing like crap and Grzelcyk couldn't make an over 60 men's league team". It was probably you. lol

Peeke is week to week so a move had to be made. Just glad it involved Gryz sitting.

Pumped for this game with this lineup. Even with his late-season woes, JVR outscored Lauko 38 to 10, and he had more PPP than Coyle. Lolo outscored Gryz despite 22 less games and less prime minutes, without even getting into the size and defensive ability aspects. This represents a significant skill upgrade to the roster. I expect big things from that third line. JVR should also bump Maroon off the PP, Pat's never been a huge scorer in that role, with 58 points for his career.

He absolutely can. All year, he's been better at Grz in some aspects of the defensive game and worse in a number of others. He might not get muscled into having to take a penalty like Grz did last game, but the kids takes a lot of penalties because he gives up position. He's also not great defending the rush, so the Bruins need to be smart about the situations they put him in. Fingers crossed because he absolutely does bring more puck skills to the back end, and that's been a problem the last couple of months.

I hope the roster changes help. Both teams know that Toronto has weaker defense and weaker goaltending. The solution for them, in Game 2, was to hold enough possession and keep the puck out of their own zone enough to eke out a one goal win. If they can keep that up they'll probably win again.
The Bruins need a bit more possession, quicker counters, and a little more success getting into the offensive zone so they can set up a shot. Scorers like Pasta and Marchand have had almost no space or time to shoot (save for Zacha's miraculous pass) I don't know if the roster replacements will help with that or not. I think JVR helps with the ability to get dirty goals, tips, rebounds, but does not help with the skating game. We'll see.
