"Upper body injury" is the official excuse

Thanks.

I don’t know why I was drawn to read thru this thread as I watched the first period tonight.

Wow you guys?!?

From what I saw it was a good first period of Hockey played by both teams.

You really think game 1 and 2 were any different than tonight ?!?

It took a bounce here and a PP there for the Bruins to get a lead.

Same thing happened in game 3 with the brutal first penalty call.

The Leafs are a good team! They are fast and move the puck well ...

I’ll check back in after the game. I hope the Bruins win 4-2 or 5-2 and all the people complaining will say “that’s how they need to play”

Problem is they didn’t play any different. Get the puck to the net Rask is gunna be better than Anderson.

The good news is it’s 1-1 and the Bruins are not tired.

With the effort they've given there's no way they can be tired

Ick.

Paging David Krejci.

He wouldn't be wearing an "A" if it were up to me.

 

[Gnome17]

Literally the only player im allright with this period is Rask, everyone else not so much.
How many give-aways do we have this period just from bad decisions and soft plays on the puck, 5?
It is so unlike this team..Just frustrating to watch.
Krejci continues to dissapoint..Mr inconsistent himself. How is it possible to be so soft in this game. Mistake upon mistake, its as if hes not there mentally.

 

[LouJersey]

He looks terrible tonight.

Agreed they should make him read that article he wrote ten times during the intermission.

 

[Bruinaura]

You and me both.

My day was infinitely better when I got home and my new Bruins hoodie was waiting for me

Hey, I just got a new Bruins hoodie yesterday

 

[EvilElf63]

I live in (semi) Rangers territory, so I've been working hard to defend the Rick Nash trade; and I want to be a big fan of his besides. But he needs to step up soon with a big play.

 

[catsmasher]

Krejci just as invisible as a scratched Bergeron.

 

[Kate08]

Being subjected to Alex Kraemer right now just feels like kicking me when I’m down

 

[BruinDust]

Bruins not making plays out of the zone. Flip into neutral zone, change lines, repeat

Way too much of this, very few clean zone exits.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Did Marleau just drop a knee on whoever was on the grounds nuts?!

I didn’t see which Bruin it was

McQuaid.

 

[Ladyfan]

At least we are not behind, PP would be nice early in the 2nd !!

for the B's...

 

[Barnum]

Cassidy in the locker room as we type, have no fear.

 

[Grimey]

LOL.

Anyone believe that? ..... Bueller? .....Bueller?

What an ass.

 

[mmk]

I smell a Kuraly goal coming. He’s feeling it.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Cassidy in the locker room as we type, have no fear.

Dave's a killer!

 

[Nose Face Killah]

burn these f***ing leafs boys, can't stand em

 

[Alicat]

Hey, I just got a new Bruins hoodie yesterday

This is mine

 

[ViperGTS]

for the B's...

I’d be highly shocked if the Bs get a PP unless they are down 2 or more goals.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Way too much of this, very few clean zone exits.

They need to make adjustments on breakouts. Might be as simple as just having players move their feet.

Krug needs to make up his mind on these pinches as well. He's been caught in between keeping the puck in or getting back to play d, and somehow neither happens.

 

[GloveSave1]

Not at all unexpected that it won't be a easy game. Was happy to see the Bruins wrestle the play away at least a little in the last 5 mins. Figured it might be a whole first period of Leafs nitro energy.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a similar high energy start for the first 5 mins of the 2nd from the Leafs...but once that burns off the Bruins need to get busy living.

Why not knock the puck in deep for a while? Get some possession. Make the Leafs work. They wanna skate, make them expend energy digging...and make that D cover for a while...

You can go back to the normal attack plan after a stretch. The Leafs are too comfortable, right now.

 

[Emerz]

I'd like to see Krug/Gry/McAvoy skate the puck out of the zone, one guy on each pair to do the job.
