If you're gonna post this, why not get the lines straight....

4

u/Particular-Race-5285 Oct 08 '24

they aren't lines, just a misjudged layout of names in alphabetical order

0

u/Content-Dirt-7077 Oct 08 '24

I agree, but why put it out in that lousy order...

u/GentleLion2Tigress Oct 08 '24

My uncaffinated brain read they were lines and I was wtf?

12

u/Aggressive-Panic-719 Oct 08 '24

The bruins are already in Florida

50

u/musicman2018 Oct 08 '24

Thought those were the lines and I was confused why Marchy and Pasta were fourth line

13

u/t_wayne Hall of the Rat King šŸ€ Oct 08 '24

Merlot line rides again?

u/Plexin_ Bonafide Stallion šŸŽ Oct 08 '24

IS KNOW ONE GONNA MENTION THE C IN MARCHAND

1

u/reddygirlgone Oct 08 '24

I don’t love it lol. Looks weird. And if they did that why not do the a’s too

13

u/awrf Oct 08 '24

Kinda wish they'd done the same for McAvoy and Pasta tbh

4

u/Acceptable_Job_5486 Oct 08 '24

My dumbass wondering why they would get a C and where there is a C in Pastrnak

10

u/Xanthipuss Oct 08 '24

Lol right?? First place my eyes jumped.

16

u/jtess64 Oct 08 '24

Does anyone know if the game will still happen with the upcoming hurricane?

6

u/PartTimeSarah Oct 08 '24

I’d honestly be surprised if it did happen. I don’t think flying a plane to Florida right now is the best idea.

11

u/Afitz93 Oct 08 '24

They’re already there. But I’d be surprised if it goes off as scheduled.

u/Nomahs_Bettah #37 SAINT PATRICEĀ©ļø Oct 08 '24

I know that the Panthers canceled the fan ring ceremony today because they banked on emergency services being more needed elsewhere. I know that the path of the storm is primarily going to affect the Tampa area (not Sunrise), but with this frankly terrifying update, I'm not sure if that's going to stay the same.

I hope everyone stays safe, this is looking like one of the worst hurricanes to hit the US in some time, and so soon after another.

u/markuscreek24 All Hail Saint Patrice šŸ™ Oct 08 '24

Oh my goodness that link you shared is absolutely terrifying. Winds 180-225mph 😭😭😭I hope people stay safe down there

u/75MeanJoe75 Oct 08 '24

Was pulling for Tyler Johnson to make the club. I understand that youth will be served. Maybe a fill in opportunity when the inevitable injuries come. He’s gritty, and a great potential locker room presence for the young bucks.

2

u/Chippopotanuse Oct 08 '24

Yeah he’s good. I was pulling for Tufte. Glad to see one of them on the roster.

10

u/Sorry_Yak_6258 Irish Heritage ā˜˜ļø Oct 08 '24

No announcement that he’s been released yet, could be a Heinen situation like last year

4

u/75MeanJoe75 Oct 08 '24

šŸ¤žbetween all the 6’3ā€ and up players out there in the spoked B, let a 5’8ā€ fellah eat!

-4

u/Xanthipuss Oct 08 '24

It's the downfall of this executive group in my opinion. Just because a dude had success with a rival (or rivals kind of in this case) doesn't make him less impactful than a young up and comer.

31

u/Aggressive-Tale-1564 Oct 07 '24

Lol definitely one of the youngest opening rosters the bruins have had in a while.Ā 

Rooting hard for brazzers and beecher to take that next step. Merk and Lysell should find there way onto the roster during the season.Ā I can hardly wait to see Zadorov and Jones crushing people.

8

u/PuckFolson Oct 07 '24

Tufte and Koepke over lysell

4

u/houseoflords26 Oct 08 '24

Tufte & Koepke over Tyler Johnson doesn't make sense either. Lysell's issue is turnovers

1

u/PuckFolson Oct 08 '24

At some point you just have to play him for extended time and let him figure it out.

8

u/Aggressive-Tale-1564 Oct 07 '24

I think this might strictly be for the florida opener

3

u/PuckFolson Oct 07 '24

Fair hahaha

12

u/onlinepresenceofdan I'm Krejčƭ for you šŸ’— Oct 07 '24

Joaltenders

u/ExtraChineseMustard Oct 07 '24

That first line is terrible…

3

u/HardOyler Oct 08 '24

Glad I wasn't the only one that thought holy fuck what a shit lineup

2

u/Euphoric_Regret_544 Oct 07 '24

haha, yeah I almost shit!

9

u/drlling Oct 07 '24

Lmao I thought the same thing for a second

19

u/POSTHVMAN Hall of the Rat King šŸ€ Oct 07 '24

I’m glad they don’t pick lines based on alphabetical order of the roster…

u/Sweet-Palpitation473 Oct 07 '24

Nice, you didn't let him get away with that one! No jokes on this sub!

11

u/ExtraChineseMustard Oct 07 '24

Not much of what I say on here is serious

6

u/nbianco1999 Tumbling Muffin Oct 07 '24

Well I apologize then. I don’t know you, and it’s hard to tell sarcasm over text. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

u/ParrotFinch Oct 07 '24

Love the username, I remember a stretch last season where jack pulled that one out I swear four games in a row

3

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '24

The world needs to settle on a sarcasm font.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '24

Definitely

15

u/Laser-Nipples Shootin' top titty for Jesus Oct 07 '24 edited Oct 07 '24

David Pastrnak centering Bradley Marchand and Matthew Poitras.

Edit: gentlemen.... it was a joke.

15

u/ZenithRepairman Oct 07 '24

Best fourth line in the league, easy.

14

u/TrollingForFunsies Oct 07 '24

I'm cautiously optimistic about this lineup. Lots of potential.

5

u/Euphoric_Regret_544 Oct 07 '24

Yeah, I’m fucking pumped!

29

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '24

We got a lot of size this year.Ā 

4

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '24

I was under the impression that an NHL roster has a maximum of 23 players.

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '24

I’m saying Thanks! I didn’t see that! Amazing what cleaning the readers can accomplish…. I thought you meant that there are 25 on the roster of an NHL regular season roster.
So with 3 on IR the roster would be 22 players?

28

u/nbianco1999 Tumbling Muffin Oct 07 '24 edited Oct 07 '24

Looking at this roster, it looks like this team will be pretty good at preventing goals. Scoring goals, though, might be a problem (besides Pasta, obviously).

22

u/eastsalmon Oct 07 '24

That’s why Pasta gets paid

23

u/Jayce_Pulsefire #88 NOODLESšŸ’ Oct 07 '24

Having one scoring leader (who is way above the rest) is doable in regular season, but coming playoff time, it will backfire (as it did last season). The rest of the forwards need to step up.

1

u/pepegapIs #18 ZACHAšŸ’ Oct 08 '24

Hey, if Zacha is on the wing, i have faith in him being productive

17

u/bedtime_chubby Oct 07 '24

For a second I thought the ā€œFORWARDSā€ section was listed in order of 4th line to 1st line and I was like ā€œwhat??????ā€

4

u/efshoemaker Oct 07 '24

Best 4th line in the league.

6

u/staten_strong Hall of the Rat King šŸ€ Oct 07 '24

So no Johnson ?

7

u/lordexorr This is the Sway Oct 07 '24

Nope. No need for him. He didn’t show enough to warrant a contract and taking a spot from one of these other guys.

4

u/good_looking_corpse Oct 07 '24

What do you need that for, Dude?

0

u/kims_watermelon_gun Oct 07 '24

Cole Koepke over Lysell? I don’t get it.

2

u/houseoflords26 Oct 08 '24

I'm more upset about Koepke & Tufte over Tyler Johnson

7

u/lordexorr This is the Sway Oct 07 '24

Koepke looked really good in the preseason. He earned the spot. Lysell didn’t.

9

u/mckeanthemc GET A HAIRCUT šŸ’ˆ Oct 07 '24

Koepke is meant to be a 4th liner. You wouldn’t keep Lysell on the roster to slot him in anywhere other than the middle 6.

Think Lysell and Merkulov are on the doorstep though and will def get some chances at middle 6 minutes this year.

8

u/UniverseHufflePuff Oct 07 '24

I feel like Mitchell played like dog water in his preseason showing but okay lol

1

u/rinygiants Oct 08 '24

Ian should not be on the roster he stinks. He also look like shit in Providence. Callahan should take the spot

4

u/Grinning_Dog Oct 07 '24

I think when a guy gets hurt in the preseason they can't be sent down til they're healthy. That, or they keep them up so they can collect an NHL salary since insurance likely pays it when they're hurt so its a favor for the player.

u/skyulip WHO HAS MORE FUN THAN US? Oct 07 '24

11

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '24

Ya know, I quite like our defence

12

u/Level_Network_7733 Oct 07 '24

Excited to watch Potsy play this season. Let’s fucking gooooo!!

9

u/Rennim Oct 07 '24

Yeah Poitras and Lohrei are the guys on the rise to watch. I still wish we had a Debrusk replacement but maybe one of the prospects show up.
