2022-2023 Boston Bruins Season

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

I know that the comparison I'm about to make is a bit of a stretch, but Boston's bad play in the Oilers game and their current 2-0 deficit to Detroit—both after having had 4 days off—is giving me "2020 covid pause" vibes. That was a much different situation, of course, and a much longer break, but the covid pause absolutely killed that Bruins team, and this recent 4-day break has done the current team no favors.

And maybe I missed something, but why did the Bruins have such a long break? It's weird to me, especially since they just had a weeklong all-star break a few weeks ago.

They’ll be fine.  They’re skating well.  Just figuring stuff out with new teammates, after a 10 game winning streak.

2-1.

People can correct me if I'm wrong but I think I remember that when making schedules now, they try to incorporate some breaks for teams so that there isn't a "fatigue" situation. So some teams have that 3 or 4-day break built into their schedules at some points during the season. Pretty sure the Rangers for example had a 4-day break just recently as well.

Okay, thanks. I wasn't aware of that, but it makes sense.

Good point with the stuff about new teammates. One reason I wanted them to not make any moves at the deadline was the risk of disrupting chemistry, but hopefully this is just a small speed bump on the way to a title.

And the Bruins take the lead! (Hopefully they hang on to this one.)

That Orlov / Hathaway trade had been amazing so far.  Bertuzzi should start producing soon.

Orlov has been such an awesome addition for the B's. He was flying all over the ice and laying out Red Wings players throughout the game. Definitely adds more grit/toughness for us

I know it'll be really difficult to keep everyone, but Orlov is someone I'd love to keep here long term beyond this season. I'd much rather him than someone like Grzelcyk if we had to choose.
