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

[Machinehead]

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

He's putting up points. He's been very good offensively.

But on the other end he's been out for a ton of shots and chances against which is abnormal for him.

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!"

Hush yo mouth lol.
Well Gorton didn't fall for temptation number one in trading skjei for Duchene. Gotta have faith he won't trade our first this upcoming draft.

Rather get Evander Kane, would make an excellent linemate for Hayes imo

 

[Levitate]

Do not feel this game was reffed equally...

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Yes?

We controlled play in the first, and, as expected, turtled and got outplayed and outshot in the 2nd and 3rd

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.

We were outshot, but I don't care about shots?

 

[aufheben]

He was always good 2-way player.

Ok by solid I mean noticeably good, above-average

I know you're mostly joking, but I honestly think there is zero chance Gorton trades the 2018 first rounder, not even if we're somehow major cup contenders by the deadline. The only way I could possibly see him moving it is if he's acquiring a young top 6 center with term.

Pass big time.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

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.

At the end of the game, the Fast line and the Nash line rotate for like the last 3-4 minutes, and he puts Zibanejad at center on the Fast line. I understand the thought process, I just don't agree with it. Kreider and Buchnevich have earned the right to play at the end of the game instead of Fast and Grabner, we'll probably have a better chance to score the next goal with them out there.

 

[Hire Sather]

Doing exactly what we had to do to pull us out of our bad start. Looking decent while doing it.

We're gonna be alright

Bruins basically could of gotten away with murder in the 3rd.

Boston had a lot of injuries and it's Rivalry Night with an Original 6® matchup.

 

[Ben Culotta]

Like really ? No call on holding Zib stick near the end of the game ? I don' get it.

 

[Irishguy42]

I still don't get how that ref didn't see Zibanejad's stick being held for what seemed like an eternity.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Pass big time.

Unless E. Kane is coming for .60 cents on the dollar, I don't want him. Plus, he's a UFA after this season.

Playing with Carey as your center will do that to any person.

That was a ridiculous no call. But you know, Boston was trailing with 2 minutes left in the game so the ref was thinking about that and game management and what not. Stupid instance of the ref letting the time the incident occurred dictate his call/non-call instead of the infraction itself. NHL refs baby!

 

[darko]

Boo and Smith need to be in next game.

 

[Siddi]

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.

 

[Lion Hound]

Refs were from Charlestown

 

[Machinehead]

Even Skjei is slowly becoming respectable.

There's no many players I have an issue with at this point. Zuccarello could be better but he always gets it going.

 

[Ori]

Boo and Smith need to be in next game.

I agree, Hayes and our 4th line is not generating enough at the moment.

 

[Kakko]

We were outshot, but I don't care about shots?

Caring less about one thing than another thing =/= not caring about it

I don't expect them to dominate 60 minutes. I expect them to not spend long stretches at a time pinned in their own zone, looking lost. Especially against a team missing half it's NHL roster.

No team is ever gonna completely shut down their opposition, but you can always hope to do a better job of it. I'm glad you think everything is great, and I'm happy we won, but I'd rather the team address flaws than ignore them.

Great game! 5 in a row!!
