Status report
The Bruins, who held an optional morning skate, will dress the same lineup they used in a 3-0 win against the New York Rangers on Tuesday. … Poitras, a forward, travelled with the team. … McAvoy, a defenseman, served the second of his six-game suspension for slashing Buffalo Sabres forward Zach Benson during Game 6 of the Eastern Conference First Round last season. ... Salomonsson is expected to return in mid-October after the defenseman had surgery in April. … Björck and Bauer each will make his NHL debut. ... Hellebuyck was suspended by the Jets after the goalie did not report to training camp.

I don’t get why Koepke would be scratched. He was one of our most improved players last year. Good energy and speed.

Osh is gonna Osh, oops wrong forum.

Man Viggo looks like he's 12 years old. All our hopes ride on your Dale Hawer..er Viggo Bjorck - not sure how people are getting those two dots above the "O"....

when did Ray Ferraro sign on as our colour guy?

DeMelo scores first

didn't think I'd get to post this so soon

It's his kid, Landon, but they definitely sound very similar.

He was with the Canucks for a couple seasons before getting hired here last month.

ugh

yeah I know

Wow with Bauer in the line up it's the first time I've seen this team have balls since the days of Buff. Finally, there's someone there to make sure our stars don't get messed with, without consequences. I predict a statue in Tyrel Bauer's future!

Sawyer beat out Ray for the job and Landon takes over for Sawyer. Universe taking forever to correct itself.

Overtime loss and 2 Bauer fights should be worth 2 points.

How bout that Viggo. Not bad.

Partway through the game I was thinking the same thing. That 4th line lacks a guy that will get to the puck first.

Nino looked bad. He didn't have his hands. Frequently mishandling the puck which is something he needs to do well to be effective. Maybe a 1st game thing. Didn't mind Vlad on the 4th line. Vlad, Koepke, Iafallo probably gives you enough speed and grit to be effective.

I had higher hopes for the 4th line. They looked out of place in today's NHL.

They should be rotating Vlad and Nino unless one is on a streak, then the other can sit.

They both had long streaks last year.

Pointless streaks.

I wonder which family is which? Is that Viggo's mom? Or his sister?

Viggo’s dad played hockey so guessing that’s the blond wife 🤣
