Post-Game Talk: Boston Bruins at New York Rangers 11/8/2017: From Russia With Goals

[darko]

How did two of KZB play less than 13 minutes and the other less than 15? WTF is AV up to?

Trying to ruin them.

 

[aufheben]

I'm ok with that game.

It wasn't exactly sterling, but we were pulling so much worse in 15-16 and 16-17.

I really haven't hated this season tbh

Team has been looking much better after that bad acid trip of a game versus Las Vegas

I guess Fast is still adjusting from that injury, but he's been pretty terrible.

His analytics are shocking.

And that's where you see you can't take the analytics like universal truth.

 

[bl02]

Put Nieves and Smith in next game for Carey and Kampfer. Please.

If Nieves is good he's definitely in for Carey. No one wants him around if he still has remnants of the flu.
Smith as well would be nice but not sure its gonna happen

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

We were up by 2 after 1. He had to turtle...

What I don't understand is how AV always benches that line at the end of the game. Why would you bench your best line?

[Siddi]

Did they call Carey's name once or did they think he was Vesey every single time he was on the ice

Bergeron bumped him in the 1st and he lost his stick. That is the only time i can recall

Because they are your weakest line when the enemy has to play full press.

There are 2 teams shifting dynamics.

Something he's known to do.

I wish half the stuff this guy does would show up on the stat sheet. He wasn't very noticeable tonight but he's does the crap most forwards on this team don't wanna do.

The latter

 

[Siddi]

He doesnt understand the simple fact that if the puck is in your opponents zone you cant get scored on.

 

[Ori]

Vesey, Henrik & Buch tonight - Zib was playing well too. Staal was solid, except one mistake, but they did not score on it.
40 min. turtle hockey almost.
Good pking this game too which help us get our 5th win in a row.

 

[bl02]

Hell No not on this forum lol

 

[darko]

Something he's known to do.

On a serious note ... we did spend lot of time killing penalties while having what 30 seconds of PP time. Those refs clearly had money on Boston.

 

[eco's bones]

First period was good---after that we got outworked. Considering how many Bruins players were out that shouldn't happen. We won anyway but Henrik was the major reason why. Good on Vesey to get two goals including the game winner. Buch and Zibanejad were good too. I liked Skjei in this one too.

The Shattenkirk effect

 

[aufheben]

Is it just me or is Zibanejad becoming a really solid two-way center?

 

[Kakko]

We didn't turtle.

Please everyone stop with this ****ing fixation on shots.

I care far less about shots than the fact that there were half a dozen instances of all 10 skaters being within about 10 feet off the net, battling for a loose puck.
Today, all of those stayed out. On a less lucky day, 2 of them take a bad bounce and end up in our net.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Yeah if you can stay there. The other team might have something to say about that.
It's not a Harlem Globetrotters game.

 

[Lion Hound]

At this rate the club is a couple of wins away from trading their 2018 1st rounder for a rental.

"James Neal c'mon on down. Your the next contestant in a long line of asset mismanagement blunders!"

There are two teams. What do you guys not understand? The Rangers are not stacked enough to dictate at will whatever they want for 60 minutes.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

What I don't understand is how AV always benches that line at the end of the game. Why would you bench your best line?

I saw them get at least two shifts within the last 5 minutes of the game. Idk, I would think us having virtually no PP time and having to kill 5 penalties skewed the time on ice for KZB.

Next life goal: positive goal differential. We're at -1 after tonight.

He was always good 2-way player.
