Opening night thoughts?

Why are you breaking up Bergeron and Marchand? Are you a Bruins fan?

Bruins_Fan 1990. You beat me to it. Bergeron and Marchand.....they're a couple like Abbott & Costello, Laurel & Hardy.

I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and call it a mishap, but yeah breaking those two up is criminal, especially after their world cup performance.

Sorry, just edited it. It was a mishap (I'm all thumbs).

Jacobs came out and said that he expects "a deep playoff run" this year. Anyone else nervous that Bs make more Stempniak-Liles deals that siphon off assets without making a marked improvement to satisfy ownerships desire for playoff revenue? I've come around on the idea of an on the fly rebuild if that's what they're doing, but I don't want to deal for bottom roster guys just to get the 7 seed and get bounced in the 1st or 2nd round. I'd rather A) play it out with the current roster and hope a youngster or two makes a leap, B) deal off higher end prospects and picks for an impact player or two and become a veteran contender, or C) salvage anything that you can for vets and go with a full on tear down (although how often does that work in hockey?). What I don't want is what's happening in DET where they're stuck in the middle with overpriced vets clogging the roster and cap and losing in the first round every year.
