Hampus Lindholm has the coolest stick. He literally scrapes the paint off the bottom 8” of the stick to make it white with white tape. Imagine the time put into each stick
Unfortunate to lose him but injuries happen. Opportunity for Oesterle to step up and contribute. Also a chance for Lohrei to get a run of games and try and secure his roster spot. We'll see what happens tonight
Sometimes when young players are not expected to do much, they defer to the veterans. Now that Hampus is going to be out for a while, Lohrei may and should be freed to utilize his talents more. He's still going to make some mistakes, but that's how you learn. I would pair him with Carlo to minimize the damage. Oesterle and Wotherspoon should be the third pair, McAvoy and Dadonov the first.
Good comment - I agree. I have suspected many players Puck watching during some of the Bergeron years. When Bergeron was out injured, (and Krejci) during the Panthers series, we saw the team step up. Bergeron return from injury and we lost three games in a row. Not just this example.. yet I think you're on to something.
Hampus broke or fractured a bone. 6-8 weeks we just lost him for. Oh boy. He has carried this team so much. Last year he won game 7 against Toronto singlehandedly and he's a goddamn DEFENSEMAN. He scored the tying goal, then made the genius pass to get the puck in by bouncing it off the board to a spot where Pasta could grab it and get in alone behind the D. When anyone talks bad about Hampus, I get pissed. Of all the players on this team, Hampus is the last that deserves to get shit. I will throw hands with someone that is talking trash about Hampus.
I'm a Hampus fan also. I have quite a few highlights of him stepping in to save Jeremy's arse last season when he was going through learning curves, not controlling rebounds. And sometimes they're easy to miss, best to see them from the overhead camera The only truly valid critique of Hampus is he does not like to hit. He has stated it directly- does the minimal to separate the player from the puck. He's got Charlie McAvoy to be his wrecking Ball. Furthermore, even when I'm just listening to the game, can't watch - I hear Hampus's voice through the announcers microphones Great communicator on ice. Yeah- this one's going to hurt (sigh) 😔
Yeah it sucks Lindholm going down but injuries happen and part of being a contender is being able to win despite injured players. Oesterle I expect will be alright. He has been around enough to know what his role will be. I am hoping this is the opportunity Lohrei needs to get more minutes and shine. I think Lohrei has the potential to be a high scoring defenseman. He has shown great skill with the puck. I think his liability is defensively. Let him learn on the fly I say, too much upside with this guy to be half way about it. Play him and play him more. He has great instincts for when to attack and pinch etc. Take the reigns off already and let him play his game. He can't learn how not to get beat defensively until he gets beat defensively LOL
Good luck to Osterle. This is Mason's opportunity to show us what he's got. And oesterle to show us whether he would be ready for playoffs. McAvoy better be a good boy. The coordination and success of the defense is going to rest on his shoulders whether he likes it or not. And we'd better hear from Brando BIG TIME I can't shake that "ugh". This bear doesn't like this at all. We can hear Hampus during games. He's always talking. The great communicator. There's a lot of little stuff he does that goes unnoticed For the first time this season, now I am worried about making playoffs. we're talking about a knee After he's 100% again, it'll be another month for Hampus to get up to speed. The rest of the team better wake the hell up! It's only hockey but, this isn't going to make my week better. ☹️ Thanks for the update.
@bruinsdiehards that certainly looks like what happened... my hockey heart sunk when I saw the hit. But he couldn't be in a better area of the world for sports medicine. Maybe they'll turn him into the 6 million dollar man.
it'll effect them but not as much as a lack of scoring.maybe they shouldn't have stupidly traded sequin and whiffed it at the disastrous 2015 draft.all busts!
Not really sure how a trafe from 2012 affects the team now lmao. But yeah bruins fans tend to live in the past. If only we never trade Andy moog we would have amazing goaltending
I love to see how many people complained about Matt grezlik I know that's not how it's spelled but that's how talk text spells Matt's name but he did so much on the power play and the penalty kill and offensively defensive then now they're having trouble finding somebody to replace him
@@bruinsdiehardsI want to say that Matt was on the power play from time to time.. or he started the power play and top line gang came in when Bs got possession I miss Tory Krug. In my mind, that's when we lost our power play
@@bruinsdiehards you've got me thinking, Matt may not have been the best D, but he had chemistry with his lines. I remember him winding it up and getting that slap shot in.

Nothing against this group, but in previous years, we could feel these teammates were friends. Not feeling it.
It sucks but injuries are to be expected. If they didn't happen then we would never have seen Lohrie become a regular
Very good point
Maybe the new guy will provide a spark. Time will tell !
He could and I hope so
If he’s out long term this opens up the opportunity for them to trade for a top six winger
Possible

1st like🤝🏽
Love it and thank you
Fractured knee cap! Not good
Nope. Seen recovery time being anywhere from 3 to 6 months
Montgomery has the injuries wildcard to save getting fired?
I guess but the fact Cam Neely made the trip to St.Louis I have a feeling they lost that game he could of been fired
@@bruinsdiehards bro that's crazy to think...

This is very sound and logical take and I agree

😔
Yeah We definitely couldn't tell that Monty's not irritated with the media lol "weeks, plural" lol😅
Seriously eh lol
at least oesterle isn't infected with the " bruins flu. " maybe he will be able and motivated to clear the front of the net and stay out of the box.
Good point. My expectations are in check but will be watching him tonight
Oh right. I felt like it was just too easy that they finally put him on the PP. Just felt like something was gonna go wrong.
Yeah it kinda sucks but maybe the team will over come it
Timing for losing a Lindy is not great. Onwards though.
No other way to look at it

Thanks for the update.
Rumours are he broke his knee cap
@bruinsdiehards that certainly looks like what happened...

@ I’m a little worried about this one
When it rains, it pours. If this guy performs well, then what? Who do they send back down?
That is a good problem to have and not sure of the answer. Depends on what type of play he brings
I think it’s gotta be Lohrei or Wotherspoon
terrible news. maybe osterle can help the PK.
Or even the power play
@@bruinsdiehards i like the next man up. usually it helps.
@ it does

Well Seguin did sleep with a players wife so he had to go

Mason will step up he's a good hard working kid
Hope so

Oddly enough it looks like they miss Forbort on that PK. I didn’t know Grizz played power play last year
@@bruinsdiehardsI want to say that Matt was on the power play from time to time.. or he started the power play and top line gang came in when Bs got possession
I miss Tory Krug. In my mind, that's when we lost our power play
@ yeah but he really wasn’t all that much. Grizz wasn’t this Krug replacement everyone thought he was.
@@bruinsdiehards you've got me thinking, Matt may not have been the best D, but he had chemistry with his lines.
I remember him winding it up and getting that slap shot in. When he wanted to turn it on, he was on

Not feeling it.
@ yes he was a big part of the room but he didn’t play well last year and is not playing well in Pittsburgh. The Bruins are too dam slow this year
