B's Make Final Cuts; McGrattan Makes the Team

[Mr. America]

I'll believe it when he either signs a deal, or makes the final post europe cut to 23.

I hope so too, I am guessing 35-45 games which is 54553453453 times better than nothing. we can all hope for 50 plus

[BrianTheAdsFan]

McGrattan and Thornton is quite the combo.

Then throw in Marchand and a couple other fiesty guys and it's a wet dream come true for this site.

I hope the NHL doesn't fuk things up and lets the big dogs in the East "play".

[Mr. America]

Capgeek.com shows Boston $3+ million over the cap without these two on the roster also? Not sure how this all works with being allowed 25 players on the roster for europe.

Marchand is a Kenny Linesman type and he's got to be 'empowered' when he looks over and sees Thornton and Mcgratton and Lucic and Chara etc... Yeah, Fun year!

I just came.

[Habs # 1]

This is great news... hope he does well.

Who do you guys think is best combo?

I am going McGrattan-Thorton( Amazing fight carb between the two, dont lose much)
Orr-Rosehill(Orr number 1 or 2 in league and rosie is tough and is getting better)
Godard-Rupp(two big boys, rupp is a little soft)
Boogey-Prust( top 1 or 2 and prust fights often)
Gillies Konopka(lots of scraps with these two, gonig to be tough to play when a team is blowing them out)
Carkner-Neil( Carkner top 5 maybe Neil great LHW)
Shelly-walker ( not bad, but walker can sometimes look bad)
Pl3-Clarkson(weak HW but great middle)
Boulton/Eager/thornburn (not as many FM's but will hold it down compared to the habs and buffalo)

If McGrattan ends up being signed then I think he and Thornton would be the best 1-2 in the league.

UNTIL McGRATTAN IS UNDER CONTRACT HE HAS NOT MADE THE TEAM !!!!

[Orr=God]

i will believe it when I see it. I will be surprised if he makes the team and appears in regular season games.

Don't be a 'debbie downer', fansince!

McGrattan, Thornton, & Lucic: The B's lineup, with the those three in it, would be scary. Not many teams can come close to matching that kind of top 3.
