Post-Game Talk: Bruins defeat Rangers 2-1!!!!!! Lead 3-0 in the series
- Thread starter TP
- Start date
- The refs set the tempo early when Callahan high sticked Chara and drew blood. That pretty much said anything goes.
- I thought Jagr looked dangerous tonight and had an extra jump in his step. That line looks solid
- Kelly and Peverley are still dragging; Kelly moreso than Pevs. It's time to bench Chris " The Anchor " Kelly and put Soderberg in there.
- Lundqvist was the best player on the ice and the only reason why this wasn't a 5-1 game.
- Dorsett showed quite the yellow streak when he denied Thornton a fight. I like him as a player, but if you're going to intimidate and try to get one of Boston's skilled players off the ice physically, you need to answer the bell when the enforcer comes along or else you just make yourself and the rest of your team look weak.
- Boychuk really steps it up for the playoffs. I wish they would use him more on the PP.

-Lucic is playing solid, that whole line is but he has been great.
-Sitting Dougie for Sides makes sense, but I think I make no line up changes for next game, hope we close out and let everyone rest as much as possible. If we lose, bring in Sides for Bart/McQuaid/Hamilton... Krug stays, been great.
-Seguin will have a multi point game within the next 3 games, either goal and assist or 2 goals, he is sniffing the net and getting close. People need to stop throwing him under the bus, the compete level is there.
- Merlot has been difference maker not just this game but series
- Get the brooms... hope we can sweep, at minimum I think we close out at home on Game 5
- Love Jagr's facial hair, reminds me of Wolverine.

You have to think this is a nut-punch loss for the Rangers tonight. Tonight, at MSG, throwing everything they had at the Bruins and they lose, going down 3-0.
I don't know if that team can muster another effort like tonight's, and that's not to say tonight was a stellar effort from the Rangers either.
I think the Rangers really had to win tonight.
Foot's on the throat.

The Rangers were gassed by the end of that game. They couldn't get much attacking zone time in the 3rd period.
The Bruins are wearing them out....and Krug and Bartkowski are having an impact in that regard too....not just the 4th line. None of the other defensemen are constantly fumbling the puck around in the defensive zone.

If that was "everything they had", they're in trouble. Aside from Hank, they were pretty terrible tonight.

Rangers fan here:
Congrats on the win guys. Boy are you guys deep. Unreal how many effective players you have. Bruins were pretty much the only team I didn't want to play. I liked the Rangers chances more against the Pens.
Rangers were awful, but that doesn't take anything away from how great the Bs played.
2nd goal was pretty lucky, but honestly that goal should have been scored 10 minutes ago with how much Bruins were dominating. Lundqvist was the only guy who showed up tonight.
Officiating was horrible and Bruins were the bigger victims of that. Bruins should have had at least 3 PPs with one being 4 mins. Another reason you guys deserved to win way more than the Rangers.
And this Krug kid came out of nowhere, but man is he fun to watch.
Anyway, good luck next round after you finish us off. Congrats again.

Thanks for the kind words, but this series isn't over yet. WE should know better.
Over an 82 game average, Boychuk's playoff numbers are vastly superior to the regular season
Season|5|12|17
Playoffs|15|18|33*

Which is why I then referred to their effort as less than stellar.
It's still a race to four....but the Rangers don't look like a team that's capable of an uprising.

I think Pierre is about to toss over Callahan for his new love Krug. Krug earned the love in this game IMO. He was playing well at both ends of the ice.
When Seids is ready I figure Hamilton sits-not because he's awful but I think right now Krug and Bart are out playing him. Hamilton needs to work on building some muscle in the off season.
Loved seeing the merlot line come through tonight-Pie earned the jacket.
Boychuk is a goal scoring machine in the play offs.
Refs were awful.
I can accept letting holds and similar to but high sticks that draw blood?
Rangers don't seem to have enough defensive depth to shut down every line-if not for Hank they would t even be in the playoffs (and to some degree I think Rangers fans know this-or at least recognize that Hank is the anchor that wins them games).
