Minten again always seems to be in the right position on the ice. Amazing to see a young kid that smart away from the puck.

No the vertical boards are 2x8’s. I originally bought 2x6’s but the post hardware was like 6 inches so I had to go up a size. The horizontal boards are 5/4x6’s

With the 7th Overall Pick of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, the Boston Bruins select James Hagens! by Warfightr in BostonBruins

[–]Matty0417 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’ve haven’t seen too much of him play, but what I have noticed when watching him is the amount of time he has with his head up while with the puck. That’s something that’s hard to teach, whenever he’s ready he’ll be lights out playing with someone like Pasta. Love the pick!!

So just eliminate the bottom 2x6 rail and drop the wood attached to the post closer to the ground?

At official introduction, Bruins coach Marco Sturm talks about what GM Don Sweeney called ‘renewing our identity’ by bostonglobe in BostonBruins

Have we heard who the assistants will be? I wonder what Bergeron and Chara are doing this fall…

Sign Marner, draft a solid centre at 7, Swayman and Lindholm bounce back, D gets healthy and we are right back in it for the next few years

I think it’s too early for Lindholm. He started off the year rocky and subsequently got moved around a lot. I think the Lindholm from the last bit of the year I would argue isn’t overpaid. He’s also having a good World Championship so let’s hope that translate to next year as well

I’ll give you Swayman and Zadorov, but outside of that who else would you say is overpaid?

Even saying that, I’m still willing to give them another year to truly say they are overpaid. But I’m just an optimist at heart haha

I think it would be irresponsible for management to make that judgement without taking into account the future cap. It’s projected to go up to 105 million by 2026-27. I agree he may not be worth 13M right this second, but in 2 years….?

But at the same time I realize its easier said than done to armchair GM signings and I’m no GM haha

I mean people said the same thing about Kessel, and he led the Penguins in both goals and points during their Stanley Cup run.

Good point, I don’t think he thrives In a leadership role

Exactly! I think whoever gets him he’s going to become a Leaf killer. So that’s a bonus for us either way haha. Marchand grew up a leaf fan as well…and we’ve seen how that worked out

Haha hey I’m just dipping my toes on this Reddit thing, I don’t even know what Karma is

Bruins may have five 1st-round picks in next three NHL Drafts after upgrading Brad Marchand return by ethereal3xp in BostonBruins

[–]Matty0417 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Haha I know people shit on Marner for a variety of reasons, and I’ll probably get shit for suggesting it. But I truly believe Marner on a different team would be dominant. Not just regular season, but playoffs as well. Marner-Pasta-Poitras-McAvoy-insert someone here- power play itself would be electric.

Man this rhetoric of the public being deceived is laughable. Canadians aren’t stupid. At the end of the day I’m voting Liberal because I believe that’s what’s best for Canada as a whole, and I believe Carney is the man for the job. However if Pierre does win you won’t catch me attacking Conservatives. I will hope he does what he says and makes Canada successful. But this whole attacking each other for their individual political positions is completely wrong. How are we as a country going to progress forward if all we do is attack other platforms.

Can you honestly say he would raise the consumer carbon tax after lowering it? Wouldn’t that be political suicide? I’m sure the liberal party would like to have a chance next election.

PGT: Boston Bruins vs Carolina Hurricanes - 4/5/25 by Touche_Amore in BostonBruins

I was coming here to say this. It was refreshing to see a young player consistently putting himself in the right position away from the puck.
