Anthony Travalgia: Bruins new look second line providing continues to produce

I like those first two lines!

Clifton with 2 high-sticking double-minors? He waving at flies?

Bruins need to avoid Washington in the first round for the sheer reason that those two teams will beat the poop out of each other.

Dear god is it easy not to like Washington

I'm amazed at how these pickups have completely changed the look of this team. Hall cause of the pedigree I'd expect some pop from but Lazar and especially Riley have been awesome!

Honestly didn't think Sweeney had it in him. Very happy to be wrong right now.

Even if Coyle's line is not producing at the moment, the Bruins have a very good top 9 forwards.
Once Gryz, Carlo and Miller return on the back end, I think this is a pretty solid team

Yeah, I was really just hoping Hall could produce just a little, and Lazon was a JAG. Riley, they needed some help at D with the walking wounded, but so far, this feels like a much different team. Lotta hustle and a lot of snarl.

With the emergence of Reilly, who sits once the D are healthy?

As impressed as I am with Hall (and boy has he slid in nicely), I'm almost more impressed with Krejci's play of late. He seems like a man reborn. I fully expected Hall to play with a lot of passion and step it up a notch, but it is clearly rubbing off on Krejci (that's what she said) as he too has elevated his game.

Some were ready to run him out of town. Not quite there yet...

It might be time to healthy scratch Coyle for a game. Maybe watching a game will get him going. Literally everyone on the forward core is elevating their game post deadline.

I imagine it's Zboril not really sure. Nice problem for Cassidy to have after the amount of injuries to the D this season.

Lazar seems to have energized that line. Would be ideal if the Coyle line could provide some juice as well.

I was LOL. You try a million different wingers with the guy and start to wonder.. maybe it wasnt the wingers. Happy to be wrong about that. First time Krej and Bergie had 2 goals in the same game. crazy.

know who they're not missing? Tory Krug and his one goal

Wow............just wow

This is total hindsight. He has been frustrating to watch for several seasons now. Winning and production fix everything.

Got em

With the emergence of Reilly, who sits once the D are healthy?

Absolutely, positively without a doubt it's Zboril, if he's not turning the puck over behind the crease he's getting his point shots blocked at the blueline creating 2 on 1's for the opposition, frigging horrible D.
I play Cliffy or hopefully Tinordi ahead of him, don't care what side
Let's face it, unfortunately we have Gryz and Miller who will have tough time playing lots of games with being hurt
Miller I expected, but Gryz, he can't play five games in a row with getting hurt.

Thx Anthony
Let's Go B's, Let's go Glove !!!

It's not hindsight. I've never been on the "trade-him" bus. Bruins would never get back what he was worth to them, and be able to replace him.

He finally has decent wingers, and is showing his worth. The players he had before, for the most part, were plugs.

I'm not saying he's gonna go on a big tear. But he can anchor a good 2nd line which increases Bruins chances to win games.

Hopefully he does go on a big tear. They need him! I feel like most people are on the trade him bus. I was. If they let him walk in the offseason that's Krejci and Krug out the door for nothing, ouch.

If the B's get back in final and win then it's worth it in Krejci's case.

He hasn’t had winger’s since Lucic and Horton in the cup year. Good to see him scoring.

Iginla. You sir/madam/it/dolphin are racist.

Exactly... didn’t think Don had it in him! He killed it at the deadline by the looks of it now. I have to give him props... WOW!!
Time will tell obviously, it’s early...

Top 4 dman - check
Top 6 winger - check (and a dangerous top 6 winger)
Bottom 6 fwd with some jam - check

Hall can generate offence on his own and that is massive for that 2nd line to be effective and terrorizing. This teams looks better and deeper than 2019.

glove was stuck. Black bear was taken so I went with BlackBruin you idiot.
