I have none. Put Bourque back in there. Down a forward 2 minutes into the game and he gets 6 shifts for a whopping 3:58 of ice time..Appearently Julien feels the same.
Patience with MacDermid..

Amen !!! (but I really hope that Caron understands that he'll have to shake up and seize the day when he'll be back)

The only time I noticed him was when he almost ended up on the Sabres bench after missing a check. Yup, bring back Bourque.

Might be time to take a flier on someone. If ST has a head issue like it looked he is gonna be gone a while. Why not look for a depth trade now.

If he isn't going to fight, he isn't going to skate.
Useless.

Yeah, if he has a concussion he won't be fighting anytime soon, which is all he really is used for. I liked Paille on the 3rd line, though.He looked a bit woozy after getting his a*s kicked.

Hey NAS. cam Jannsen was placed on waivers. Should we pick him up?

Considering the production of MacDermid, I think we can say:
1. Chris Bourque is a better option.2. The "Call up MacDestroyer" crew can cork it.

Yah, Shupe. Give Landgon a call as well. Without a true goon, there is no true hockey. -

Good Lord. I was watching him during warm ups thinking this scarecrow was going to fight... someone? Anyone? Seriously?
He looks like he weighs 150 lbs. soaking wet, seriously.

Yeah, he should've been demanding a fight with anyone tonight to stick around here.
Instead the Bruins looked rattled from Thornton losing and nobody else wanted to get their nose dirty. Not even the fighter they brought up from Providence for toughness. Send him back, and get some skill.

In response to mattc355's comment:
If Thornton misses time, give Tardif a shot. Start him on the fourth line. Don't know if that would be worth it, but could mix him in with the third line. I agree we're better without MacDermid.
Bobby Robins in Providence should play that role..he is bigger than Jaansen -

Lets see here Bruins lose so i'm going to start a thread and direct my anger towards a player. The answer to this thread is, put useless Bourque back in over MacDermid and the Bruis will play better against teams like the Sabres ?
Comical in this approach to scouting 101 "I saw the player "A" in warmups, I don't like him send him back to palookaville!" Brillant what else do you have to enlighten us ?
Someone call a freakin Wambulance!

Got to agree with this. I am not sure why the animosity towards MacDermid for the Buffalo game. Its not like he was somehow caused the whole team to implode or Bourque would have somehow lifted the team to fight back......dumb. -

I also wondered why a 4th liner was catching so much flack. What were people expecting from MacD anyway? I felt bad for Tardif tonight. It seemed like the trainers forgot to sharpen his skates. Good for him to finally get to earn some NHL pay though. -

Well, first off, I think those who complained about Thornton taking a regular shift were the ones to complain about Mac since Shawn did not finish the game. Easy to blame the person with the least amount of ice time...the straw man. As for Tardif, he needs to be on a scoring line to be most effective which will never happen on a team like the B's unfortunately.WOW...good bout between Jackman (cgy) and Bollig (chi)....very good.

Bollig drilled him with an uppercut to the lips after it seemed Jackman was already spent. Good scrap though. -

I don't think Jackman has returned yet, Dez. Ouch.....that was a nasty one for sure. -

Just when you think the team is Skating Clown free...
Well, at least he doesn't cost $1.2M. I wonder how the Bruins were able to win without Shawn Thornton bouncing on the bench and staging fights.
