Post-Game Talk: Boston 3 Philadelphia 2 OT

[ODAAT]

Clode's favorite veteran player almost blew this game with a stupid icing.

while true, I`ll state again, none of this would be of any issue if this team actually put the puck behind a goalie instead of constantly into his crest

No reason this team should be having to fight their way to a win over a defensively laughable Flyers team

 

[Gee Wally]

To be fair, Ottawa did win the Cup in 1927. If that was Montreal they'd still be having ceremonies today.

I know they did.
My point was that junior, unless hes 100 years old, got nothing to crow about.

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

"Defensive liability" Spooner with the huge defensive play to make the winning goal possible. Kid just keeps looking better, I hope they keep him up for the rest of the year.

 

[RedBruin]

Man that main board GDT is hilarious

 

[bobbyorr04]

Very lucky to pull that one out. Like everyone else I'm furious with Julien's idiotic decision to put Campbell back in, it came within 12 seconds of biting him hard. Someone has to step in and exclude him from the lineup, guy is still a major liability.

 

[Iceage]

Wow, Marchy and Krug REALLY don't like each other. After the game winner they completely veer away from each other. Krug actually looks disgusted and turns towards the bench!

Did you see Pastrnak hug Rask in the same celebration? All the players where around Marchand and Rask was arriving when Pastnark saw him. He turned around and started hugging him. That was funny.

 

[DitClapper]

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen.

 

[Strange Universe]

If we play the Habs, thats when you guys will love Talbot.

He dont give a **** who the Habs are.

Now there would be a solution that I have been hesitating to talk about but GW you have prompted me to do it today.
This team needs a whole lot of players with the Talbot mentality that they don't give a F*&^ when playing the scabs.
This would do wonders to their confidence and playing style against the scabs.
I am not saying they would come out victorious but they certainly would not go down the easy way and probably augment their chances to win a 7 game series against the scabs.
I hope that some of his personality on ice rubs on the other bruins come PO's if we are in it.

 

[JCRO]

Where's the throw up face?

 

[ranold26]

Very huge win. Need to keep it going.

 

[BruinDust]

Is this an option? I'd say the chair has a lower cap hit as well. It's a win-win.

 

[mislysBB]

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen.

Pete Blackburn always nails it.

I'd imagine that Rask will be played hard down the stretch, considering that we've got 3 teams vying for the last wildcard spot.

 

[GordonHowe]

I'm with you. I think Ferlin has earned it. He's played very well and brings more energy/jam with his game. Another young player who is giving it his all to stay up with the big club. Love Campbell and like you said he's a heart and soul guy but Ferlin has earned it with his PLAY!

We agree.

 

[Strange Universe]

Tape a stick on the other side too so the chair can play both wings and get more ice time.
Clode would certainly play the chair over 25 minutes if suited.

I think there is a lot to it. The mental aspect.

Talbot, Pasta, Connelly, Ferlin, and Spooner have yet to be tainted. Id have in there if possible

 

[boston77]

Getting Connelly and Krejci back will be a nice problem to have.

Honestly, and I dont know how to do this, i want to see Looch stay with the 2 kids. Hes playing his best hockey of the year. I think its due more to the energy , creativity and speed that they bring. He has to be engaged and moving just to keep up.

I think you keep the line together and put DK with Soda and Louie. They complement each other, Louie and Dk like to slow the pace down and create opportunities that way, both can set up Soda for one timers which might get him going... that's what I would do. Connolly can play on the energy line with Talbot and either Paille or Ferlin with Soupy/Paille or Ferlin waiting in the wings depending on the style you want.. those four lines can be rolled with confidence.....

 

[GordonHowe]

Including pulling the goalie in the final PP to have a 6-on-4?

I think people are going a little overboard - as usual - in their criticism of Clode and Campbell. The 4th line wasn't bad. Other players made gaffs as well.

And *we* agree.

No question these two bring out the best in Lucic. They should keep them together. They kinda remind me of a poor-mans Lucic-Savard-Kessel, which was a heck of a line in 2008-09.

I'd go with when healthy

Eriksson - Krejci - Connolly
Marchand - Bergeron - Smith
Lucic - Spooner - Pastrnak
Kelly - Soderberg - Talbot

Good, deep and Claude can roll his 4 lines as he loves to do. Allows Krejci and Connolly to ease there way back into the line-up rather than throwing them in the fire right away.

 

[GordonHowe]

Tough call. He's got to be in for the Sens game.

I'd put Svedberg in myself. He's going to have get in there at least a few times during this ridiculous stretch (three sets of back to back weekends. Jesus!)

 

[Absurdity]

Kelly - Talbot - Ferlin should be the 4th line. It needs less Campbell and Paille.

 

[GordonHowe]

Well, Claude getting hammered here for his choice of using Soupy down the stretch (don`t disagree with the frustration) yet.............there was a time when a kid like Spooner would have NEVER seen the ice in any of the situations he has been since this re-call, Julien has Kelly/Soupy and now Talbot he could use on the dot, there was a time when he would never have had Spoons or any kid out there in a 4 on 4 OT game

Hammer Claude all ya want, still a coach who kinda knows what he`s doing more than most of us here

I loved it that they were out there, too. Probably wrong but I even thought they were double shifted at some point.

I did and it was great to see. I'm sure Rask was relieved that it wasn't going to a SO!

 

[JCRO]

Kelly - Talbot - Ferlin should be the 4th line. It needs less Campbell and Paille.

I thought Paille being on that third line was good..

Loui-Sodes-Paille
Talbot-Kelly-Ferlin
Campbell

 

[GordonHowe]

If we play the Habs, thats when you guys will love Talbot.

He dont give a **** who the Habs are.

They'll get a bit of their own back, for sure.

Like the commercial says, *I'm lovin'* it.*
