Thinking about the time in 2019 that Charlie McAvoy said on
@WetJeansPod
that David Pastrnak loves Dave's Doubles from Wendy's because he thinks they are named after him
On this same day last season, Brad Marchand unleashed this celebration with Conor McGregor in the building against the Columbus Blue Jackets at TD Garden. Tonight, a year later, the Bruins were supposed to play the Blue Jackets again at TD Garden
Anders Bjork, Matt Grzelcyk, Charlie McAvoy, Sean Kuraly, and Jake DeBrusk: A few Bruins and Big

It's Brad Marchand's birthday, so here's one of the best goals he has ever scored. Happy birthday to the Bruins and the league's number one pest

Dear God. I forgot about this absolute missile and great celly by Johnny Boychuk in 2013. If only someone had a radar gun in the building. That hit 100+ mph easily
That was very, very dumb and dirty by Nathan MacKinnon on Nolan Patrick. I wonder how the Avalanche fans that were ready to fight Taylor Hall will feel about this!
Tonight marks the first time that Taylor Hall, Curtis Lazar, Mike Reilly, and Craig Smith will play in TD Garden as Bruins at full capacity. This one will have some extra energy in comparison to any home playoff game. Been a long time coming
Early offseason thoughts:
Bergeron returns
Krejci is 50/50
Bertuzzi gets paid elsewhere
Orlov finds common ground w/ Caps
Foligno, Nosek & Clifton are all gone
Fred: 3x $2.5M AAV, Sway 3x$4M AAV
I think bonus overages and lack of cap space in general is going to gut this roster
I hope Patrice Bergeron told Joe Pavelski how awesome of a place Boston is after this. I'd also love to know what him and Brady Tkachuk were talking about
{new feature}
"If we can inspire more people to treat each other with respect and kindness? I'm all for it."
"Goalie love is the best love."
I spoke with Jeremy Swayman & Linus Ullmark about teamwork, camaraderie ... and yes, that postgame hug.
Bringing Marcus Johansson back could be a nice way to get the third line going again for the Bruins. If not him, landing Blake Coleman or Brandon Saad has to be a priority. All three players are UFA's. Having that third line as a consistent threat would be huge
The Boston Bruins are the one team I never want to see win the Stanley Cup again because I will never forget or forgive Brad Marchand for using Daniel Sedin’s head as a punching bag in Game 6 of the 2011 Stanley Cup final!

Hate to be this guy, but I truly hate the idea of playing Carolina in the first round. Bruins lost all three games and got outscored 16-1 in the season series. The "playoffs are a whole new season" narrative is so hit or miss to me
If it's Kreider vs. Palmieri for the Bruins, Sweeney should go with Palmieri. That extra year of control is huge for a consistent goal scorer like him. Right-wing is the bigger need. Palmieri is a much better fit, in my opinion
Here's an opening night guess. A little bit of what I want to see and what I expect:
van Riemsdyk – Zacha – Pastrnak 1A
Marchand – Coyle – DeBrusk 1B
Heinen – Geekie – Frederic
Lucic – McLaughlin – Lauko
Grzelcyk – McAvoy
Lindholm – Carlo
Forbort – Shattenkirk
Ullmark
Swayman
A lot of Studnicka talk today. If he is to make the team, I think the best fit is at 3C:
Marchand – Bergeron – Pastrnak
Hall – Coyle – Smith
DeBrusk – Studnicka – Foligno
Nosek – Haula – Lazar
