Would really like to see a 4th line of Lauko-Boqvist-Beecher.

Beecher has been struggling lately.

Whats with the Lauko love. I mean he has done nothing in his previous stints.

 

[CDJ]

Monty over thinking again.....

Boqvist missed last game due to health apparently

Whats with the Lauko love. I mean he has

Fast, draws penalties, agitates

 

[Ladyfan]

for sure, it`s also clear that hitting from behind is, once again, permitted

I bet if Brad did it, he would go to the box.

 

[DaStinger]

Brown was great last game aside from the penalty. Boqvist is the better player for sure.

 

[troubbble]

It's not likely to help our FO numbers any, but if the only change in the lines is trading Brown back out for Boqvist, I can deal with that.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Boqvist missed Game 1 for "health reasons."

 

[gerrycheeversmask]

What's with the Beecher love? Since his first playoff game (1g, +1, 4 shots), he's a -3 with 5 SOG in 6 games.

I think Lauko's style of play would compliment the 4th line better than Beecher.

 

[goldenblack]

Swayman is starting. Put the pitchforks away



Putting Boquist in just means more speed and not taking dumb penalties. It isn't a big deal

Nice!

Boqvist must have been hurt game 1. We looked slower than them game 1. I don't mind the speed.

What's with the Beecher love? Since his first playoff game (1g, +1, 4 shots), he's a -3 with 5 SOG in 6 games.

Have you seen our FO%? Beecher can't sit. Can't.

He wins faceoffs

Yeah Beech has been good at the dot all season long. Charlie & Pavel should ask him what his secret is.

Yeah, with Boqvist coming in for Brown, the Bruins FO% is likely not going to improve. I fully understand keeping Beecher in the lineup.

I just think Lauko would improve the 4th line if he was played with Boqvist and Maroon.

Too bad that Beecher is such an offensive blackhole or he could sub in for JVR on the 3rd line.

Both have not been great but i like beechers faceoff ability and penalty killing.

Beecher and Boqvist are centers much like Frederic was drafted as.

 

[goldenblack]

The harder roster choice is when HEINEN is healthy. I just don't know where he goes.

You could move Frederic to the wing.

Yes good question Jvr only one i can think of but that line had been good.

 

[gerrycheeversmask]

If Geekie continues his great play with Pasta and Zacha, I guess you could have Heinen replace JVR on the 3rd line, or Beecher on the 4th?

GDT sent to @Fenway

JVR has been pretty good though!

 

[nORRis8]

Yep, it's the playoffs.

No cap, no player safety.

Truba's flying elbow off the top rope spoke volumes.
Obvious attempt to injure. No call.
Aside from that he got 3 minors for frivolous stuff.

 

[JCRO]

I guess Woodstock & Peeke aren't quite ready yet

Could really use both. Especially “HEINNNNOOO”

 

[JOKER 192]

So, other than doing what he was put into the lineup to do, he was brutal?

He only played 8 minutes, didn't have time to win faceoffs, hit and be brutal.

4th line was hemmed in the whole time they were on with him. There's a reason he only got 8 minutes.

 

[whatsbruin]

Why do people keep suggesting Lauko back in the lineup? What does he do that makes him draw in at this point? Skate fast? Brown is excellent on faceoffs. Boqvist is just as fast and a much better player. Maroon and Brazeau are just as physical. Not sure what the fascination is with Lauko is. An ok 4th line player.

I'm not suggesting he go back in, but I thought vs Tor, in games 5 & 6 His speed could have been used to forecheck the Leafs D. They seemed to have more time to move the puck out, and not so many sustained B's offensive zone time.

 

[SPV]

The harder roster choice is when HEINEN is healthy. I just don't know where he goes.

Definitely. I think maybe for Boqvist with Beecher and Maroon is the only fit right now, other lines look pretty solid
