Today's Practice

Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli says winger Brandon Bochenski needs a center to get him the puck, so look for the 24-year-old to get a shot somewhere on the top two lines Tuesday against Washington. Marco Sturm (concussion) most likely will not make the trip, making Bochenski a candidate to play left wing alongside Marc Savard and Glen Murray. - Boston Globe and TSN

With that in mind, here are the lines Dave Lewis put together at practice.

Boyes-Savard-Murray
Axelsson-Bergeron-Kessel
Bochenski-Primeau-Donovan
Chistov-Mowers-Tenkrat

Does this make any sense? Chiarelli clearly stated he wanted Bochenski to be with a playmaking center who could dish him the puck. I guess Primeau's best suited in Lewis' eyes.

Would Bill Belichek tip his hand before a game as to who was playing when and where if he had a chance to hide it?

Perhaps the coach has a reason, have you asked him?

Perhaps you think he would answer "Damn, snap, I am such an idiot! Why didn't I think of putting him on the top line the day he arrived! Damn! (slaps forehead)"

Where I come from you earn things. Especially when there are 20 guys who were there before you, who want the same thing. I garentee every guy in that room wants to play with Savard. Crap I could score a couple playing with Savy....but I bet that idiot Lewis would bury me on the third line!; 6:01 PM
