I Totally agree and if Rask continues to play like he did in Games 1 & 4 they could win 3 in a row and this series. Bruins have been in all these games with a good chance to win despite all the injuries and I don't think they will quit with their playoff lives on the line, it very well could happen Bruins could come back for the first time being down 3-1 in a series, there is a first time for everything so maybe it is time for the Bruins to comeback and win a series like this.

They just need to realize it's 3 games; do or die. Come out with a vengeance and just win. I see it happening. They have it in them. All games have been close, and have been winnable.
I just want the game now. I don't want to wait..

Why not ,down 3-1 just got shutout at home ,top lines really not doing much,Why not?

I'm honestly surprised they haven't just tried Vatrano or Cehlarik with Krejci and Pasta instead of saddling them with 4th liners.

Vatrano has done next to nothing and I read he left the rink in a walking boot, Beleskey is irrelevant and while I have absolutely no issues with Stafford, he`s not a guy I look to for much more than the odd goal here and there
He**, I`d scratch Spooner and put JFK in for insulated minutes

The answer is mostly not in the lines. The answer is in the talent on those lines and the backend. The backend is fine defensively against this team,but certainly lacks any great talent. The forwards lack at least 1 top forward and is heavily loaded with 4th liners.

Am I the only one that thought Stafford was one of the better players early on in this series? And now seeing him play with Spooner (pretty much getting no mins) is kinda dumb......he should play over Schaeller.

Put in Cehlarik and JFK, maybe some young blood will help. At this point, what do we have to lose?

That was my reasoning for splitting up Bergeron/Marchand.
Right now, if you get DK going it makes things interesting...we can't win with 1 line.....Pasta, IMO, is better suited with Bergeron because he at least has his legs going.
Young blood is helping. Look at McAvoy. He played a hell of a game last night.
Nope, he was playing really good early on in my opinion. Schaller shouldn't be any higher than the 4th line.

Scroll down to the bottom. Bruins first few scoring leaders seem to be a bit better than Ottawa. Bruins have a good away percentage.
Maybe I'm just finding anything to keep the hope alive.

Give DeBrusk a look, he has had his season in Providence, maybe he will bring something to the Bruins with Krecji and Pasta. I would also try Czarnik over Spooner right now, I don't care for either but I've seen what Spooner can and can't do, maybe Czarnik will be willing to work harder. If Vatranos out give Cherlaik a chance at some playoff hockey as well. Belesky has at least been physical

Too many injured D and too many passengers up front. Beleskey is supposed to be some sort of playoff warrior and he can't even get into the lineup. Spooner has been down right awful. Vatrano has been so bad that Tim ****ing Schaller is playing on Krejci's left wing. I don't even want to get started on Jimmy Hayes.
If they half of those forwards I mention playing like actual NHLers they would be in the driver's seat in this series. Instead they are all healthy scratch candidates. It's sickening.

For once I would like to see the Bruins come back from 3 - 1 deficit instead of the other way around. They can win 3 in a row !!

Ne pas plonger!
Plain and simple, the D injuries did them in. Just **** luck, but timing is everything.
If Krug and Carlo are healthy, this is a different series.

I like Schaller on the 4th line , he can skate and bring energy to the line . He doesn't have enough offensive creativity to be effective on the top two lines

Unfortuate we have dropped 3 straight 1-goal games. Our banged up D has held the fort somewhat, but the offence isn't getting much going either. As we all should have figured, playing a trap team like the Sens is going to limit scoring chances. The Spooner line should just not play, they achieve nothing.
That weak sauce goal in game 2 by Wideman really ruined us...not blaming Rask, as I think he's been more than good enough to have us tied 2-2 or even up 3-1.
