Ty Anderson: 4 thoughts from the Bruins' first road trip of the season

Signing Zads, penalties come with the territory. He has been bad about it and hasn't shown he will change no matter what team he plays for. Thats the trade off we made for getting bigger and tougher on the blueline.

Middle 6 needs a shakeup. Not sure Johnson makes a difference, but it cant hurt at this point. Who then do they send down?

At least Jones...he's costing us a cool $1M...

So we are going to have one player lead the league in penalties (Zads) and one player lead the league in turnovers (Pasta)...sounds like a winning combination to me.

I like Tufte. I know he doesn't have as polished of a game, but guy works hard. Jones I could get behind. Probably lose him on waivers but I honestly dont care.

Still not convinced Johnson improves things but its worth a shot.

It's another blender night to find chemistry (hmmm, I always thought chemistry was established with familiarity...i.e. the Perfection Line). Oh and hey, let's break up the 4th line...they've been the worst.

This is the most undisciplined bruins lineup I have seen in a very long time. Ridiculous.

Let's see if I have this right...the power play sucks, the penalty kill sucks, goal tending sucks, discipline sucks, passes suck, defense sucks...does that sum it up?

Coaching sucks, management sucks, ownership sucks. Just thought I would pile on.

Also beer prices suck

Hell, Julien's last season and a half weren't this bad...has Monty completely lost control already (or did he never really have it)? Was his first year just a representation of Bergeron controlling the room and last year was just a hold over from that but now that is completely lost and nobody is running the room?

The other things could be overlooked if the beers prices were affordable so we could drown our collective sorrows.
