Get Better Ty, being Sick is this time of year is a poop storm.
I didn't see DeBrusk stepping in and making an impact like he does.
same with Heinen, so great job delveloping those players the last few years.

OK SO the Big Question ?

When Quaider is ready to go, who gets the hardwood ?

I think Grzelcyk is a steadying force and keeps getting better, I cant re-call a blatant poor play leading to a goal
#47 & #25, yes plenty of glaring mistakes, obviously I know everyone Loves Krug so it won't be a popular take to see him sit.

Coach has made some good decisions so I hope it continues
I would say rotate Carlo-Krug-Grzelyck-Quaider ?
This is not an easy decision but I want #54 in the line up asap before Bergy-Marchand-Krejci end up back on the IR

I think one of McQuaid or Miller will probably have to be moved soon. The young guys are playing well, and are making a pretty good case for staying in the lineup. I've always been a McQuaid fan, but I really like how Miller has been playing lately. He's had a little more offense in his game, and is doing a good enough job in his own zone. Unfortunately I think he would probably be the guy that would be moved, as I don't think McQuaid would have nearly as much value as him on the trade market.

That being said, they've had plenty of injuries this year, so maybe holding onto everyone and finding some sort of rotation for who sits would be the best route to go just in case of more injuries in the future.

Personally I think a rotation of McQuaid, Carlo and Miller would work. B’s haven’t had the luxury of sitting Carlo down for a game or two since he made the team and it’s something I think would help him. I think platooning Miller and McQuaid would help keep them both healthy too. Assuming Quaider is back to his old self I think the current optimal lineup would be

Chara McAvoy
Krug McQuaid
Gryz Miller

I honestly wouldn’t hate to see Carlo sent down for a bit either. I love this kids potential but I think he is what he is until he fills out that huge frame. I think dominating the ahl and finding a little more offense would be huge for him

cant send carlo down, he doesn't deserve it and I think he's better off staying w the big boys, but sure give him a night off to watch the game every now and then, but he's better than Miller or McQuaid

Well the B's played Hockey for about 33 minutes last night and won the game, Let's hope they start a little better tonight. freaking Holtby ugliest goalie in the Leauge, but he is so freakin good

He is ugly.
Let's list the ugliest starters.
My top 5 are...
Rask
Holtby
Smith
Halak
Murray
Any order, they're all mutts.

If he fully grew out that neck beard he could probably pull off a boss Chewie impression.

I have a feeling this game is going to be ugly for the Bruins. They've won 9 out of 11 and face the caps on the second night of a back to back and just can never score on holtby. Hopefully Dobby can keep them in the game because this a team you don't want to give a lead to early (not that there really is one you'd want to, but they'd be one of the last).

I thought maybe they were boycotting to get rid of management. They're not thrilled with Holland these days.
