Post-Game Talk: Bruins Fall to Sabres 4-2

[mashmont]

Krecji has been one of if not Bruins best players this year.How come you never say a word about Bergeron who has been pretty well stinking the joint up all yr?Good on faceoffs yes,but what a bout scoring some goals for ice time he gets and fact he centring 2nd line.Maybe its him killing Seguin.He thinks about defence way to much on a team struggling to score goals.

Time to trade THAT BUM!

I disagree, If somebody kills Seguin it's Seguin.

When you're in O trouble you need to be in dirty area.

Seguin needs space, dislike restricted area.

Marchand is playing with PB and does not seem to be in trouble scoring. But he goes in dirty area.

 

[22Brad Park]

My other concern with the Bruins is PP.

They lack organisation. I do not beleive is the players. I would like to have a look at practice, log play books to see where the problem is. It just can't be on the players, it has been for too long now.

The Bruins had one 5 on 3 this year and the defenceman set up on wrong sides.They could not one time puck way they were set,That was it for me right there.Not a clue.

He went with Krecji and right away a goal and assist.

So who are the bruins scouting harder, MacKinnon or Jones? yikes!

 

[bwunderlich]

I agree. It will come for these guys. Just hate that DK cant sneeze funny without people trying to get rid of him.

Our bottom 6 is a major concern. They have been bad.

Our lack of physicality is another. We win when we dictate.

Lack of physicality is surprizing.

Few thoughts: Ference and McQuaid arent bad, but they are bad together right now. mix them up.

This team is redundantly filled with inconsistent goal scorers and we are a team that NEEDS our goalie to put up .933+ save percentages to win.

the physicality needs to start with Looch. Thornton just can't do it anymore. I look at Looch''s cap hit and when he isn't moving his feet he's a real liability. if anyone is replaceable in what they bring game in and game out its him (talking about next year's cap issues).

but really, who else is going to bring it?? we are tough by reputation; in reality, we've actually been soft in many games so far.

If Bruins want to win Cup they will need to add help.They have trouble scoring goals.

You are actually stating opinion on a short sequence.

5-3 once - PP i last in the league
and Seguin scoring once on the first shift.

Based on your theory, the guy wth DK and Lucic would have 2 points by period, 6 a game and 288 on a 48 games season. CLode is a dummy guy not capable ofseeing this.

Remember seasons is long.

I agree, and Im definitely one that always wants to improve the team..but the hostility in this thread you'd think it was game 7 of a 7 game losing streak

No just everyo

No just everyone bashes Krecji and Krecji is Bruins best forward,.Thats why Krecji is number one line and not him,But still,Bergeron makes huge money for 2 goals.

I juist think Krecji is a better play maker then Bergeron thus it would help Seguin more.Could be wrong but numbers so far point to needed change,

I'd say is more offensive minded than PB.

I would agree, i did like Horton and Seguin switch. But last year experiences prove the opposite on a long periode.

I'm not against that switch, I question it on a long period.

My point is production is not all. Actually, based on the past year - Bottom six is not responding on a point statut. I do agree, Seguin and PB need to bury their chances though.

5.2 now..Bergie down to 4.5 and is a ufa in 14/15,Bergeir was front end loaded ,He got 5.9 first yr that deal.

Read the post just before this, answers this question exactly.

Kaoz, it might have been right last year and the years before for DK and you are concern with projection of his past coming in his play this year. But DK this year up to now is playing well and production is consistent.

I've seen two bad games from him in a row even though he managed a goal and an assist over them and a meh game a time or two before that, making mistakes in each any other forward on this team would be, and have been, absolutely crucified over. The giveaway to Nash in front of his own net was inexcusable. The give away at the offensive line that led to the Myers goal was just as bad, never mind that Myers then some how managed to beat Krejci back up the ice to eat up the rebound.

How much flak did Krejci get for either of those plays again?

I guess the difference is I haven't been convinced by an 8 game spurt where Krejci was absolutely and admittedly lights out, that he is now consistent.

I cannot say you are wrong.I will wait and give this time to play out.I fully do expect Chia though to spend that money and add help at deadline.Praying for Iginla for the stretch run.Hiim being a UFA at end yr would makes sence for Bruins and flames.

You could easily argue that not only is Krejci not the Bruins best forward (Marchand), but he's not on the number one line (Marchand-Bergeron-Seguin, though they aren't producing as much as they should.)

Bergeron makes huge money to do a lot more than score goals, and he's doing everything else just fine.

I would sacrafice a litte D for some more goals.

You are trying to justify 2 goals for nearly 5 million a year are you?Krecji,s line carried team alot games. But fair enough,lets wait see what final pts totals are at end yr and where they sit in standings,Tough game today in place they have never won.

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

No I'm not trying to justify 2 goals for nearly $5M a year.

I'm trying to point out the fact that Bergeron isn't paid to score goals. Marchand is. Horton is. Seguin is. Lucic is not. Bergeron is not. Krejci is not. They're paid for their all-around play. Bergeron should maybe have two more goals at this point, and that might give the Bruins two more points, if they're lucky.

When you look at Bergeron's game and contract, the numbers don't tell the whole story. It's unfair to look simply at goals and say "He's not playing up to his contract."

 

[Kaoz*]

You'd try to convert a 60 point, offensively inconsistent, Selke winner into a more offensive role.

Myself, I'd sooner that consistent offense came from the 60 point, offensively inconsistent guy getting paid to be the #1 center and point producer.

Krejci has 4 goals, Bergeron has 2. We're 12 games in. Let's not act like they're worlds apart here. If you want to wait to compare totals until the end of the season it's not a bad idea... if you wanted to try and project those totals you could easily look at the prior three and determine they likely won't be very far off from each other in the end.

Not convert him.Just i expect more then Bergie giving on that scoresheet for coin he earns. Bruins need goals bad and guys like him are the reason.Marchand has 7 goals but only 8 pts.I find that very interesting stat on that line., but yes I will wait and see. Big game today in place they never won before.

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

You keep saying they've never won there before as if they're on some major streak like when the Islanders lost, I think, 20+ in a row to the Flyers a couple years back. They've played there all of 2 times.
