Not that the team was much better overall, but I didn't like seeing pasta out there late in key moments. I thoguht he was real off tonight.

I thought Debrusk was the only one that was consistently pressuring the panthers D on the forecheck when most of the team was asleep in the first

I give JDB 6 for 7 or 7 for 6. He does a lot and thats yet another gaping hole to fill.
Mac is not ok. Its impossible to be fully or even marginally healthy and struggle that much to even make a 10-ft pass.
In a 0-0 game the Lauko penalty is a stretch, particularly with how much he tried to avoid Bob a few shifts earlier, but to give a PP to a team up 3-0, head scratcher.
Come on folks, Brad's a stretch as a Top 6 player right now . . .he's in Cooperstown, but honestly?
Pasta looked like he was playing center in the 3rd - don't blame him. Coyle and Zacha are, as others have said, playing like average 3rd liners.
While they're best days are past them, Maroon and JVR show how one attempts to elevate your play in the playoffs.
Tfred is Hood's vanilla without real vanilla beans.
Baffling the wall they've hit in many games where no one is moving their feet and the puck is a hot potato. Our D is like rod hockey where players just spin. Fully Stationary.
Shatty should be in, Forbert out.
I don't think the series is over

People bagging on #74 need their head examined. Get rid of Zacha and pay the extra 1.25 M on #74.
It amazes me how people can rant about a third pairing D set as to the reasons we have no offense, but meanwhile the whole team has 8 shots on goal through two periods? Doesn’t the rest of the team play also? Many of you just don’t want to bad mouth your darlings!! I’m sorry!!
DeBrusk/McDavid/Hyman oh my!
They can’t even beat the Rangers so your point is kinda moot.

Home from a total crap show....no passion/ heart, little to any structure and losing almost every puck battle
Sway, Lohrei and Lauko played with heart, some contributions from Beazzeau , Frederick but a lot of no shows in a sloppy game they deserved to lose
Series is only 2-1 but it feels like it is trending towards a gentleman's sweep ....not sure what Monty can do - too many players lacking the confidence to make plays

I'm not blaming the loss on JDB, because the whole team was playing like shit the first two periods.
To me, their lethargic play was mostly on the coach because they looked like they didn't have a game plan
The only guy I really noticed before the third period was Lauko who was skating his ass off. I like Jake and think he gets too much blame most games, but I didn't really notice him much until the 3rd period, when he played with a lot of heart
...but unfortunately once again, the B's were too little too late
He keeps saying this, but it doesn't mean anything.
Yeah. And also why can’t anybody drive to the net but Lauko? You’re coming up the wing, don’t always hit the brakes, pull-up and look for the trailer or the point, or just curl around the net and feed it back to the other point. How about you set your edges and drive to the f***ing net? I remember Coyle doing it once against Toronto. Otherwise he takes a tour around the back of the net. You’re a big boy man and strong as hell on your skates. Force their D to actually make a play. Make it hard on them, not easy on them. All of you.
Not enough guys who can drive the play and once again way too soft, when your star player has to do the fighting...you are in trouble.

He’s like the coworker that always owns up to mistakes but never bothers not making them in the first place.
Coach Parker
Stanley Cup Champion
Out here he’s seen as a regular season stat padder and playoff choker.
Yeah and the thing is they actually have some size right now. Too chickrnshit to actually hit anybody tho (until the 3rd after Lauko awakened them from their dogmatic slumbers). Nah, let’s let Florida do all the hitting. That’ll work. Always has in the past, right?
JOKER 192
Blow it up
Here's the thing.
Last year we went all in. It failed, that happens, look at Vegas, out in the 1st round even with all their BS.
Because we went all in last year , Sweeney had to look for bargains, IMO he did pretty well given the circumstances.
This team over achieved with the roster they played with this season. They had to work their asses off to finish where they did. With a very inferior roster they had more success in the PO's this year than last years dream team. Let's not forget our situation at center. We don't have a true 1C . Props to Coyle and Zacha for keeping it respectable but it is what is.
The future looks bright. Sign or trade for a true 1C and they'll be in business. Lots of young guys ready to take the next step.
Poitras,Lohrei, Beecher and Brazeau showed some good stuff this season. Who knows, maybe even Lysell , Merkulov and Regula can take the next step. Not bad for a team who's been perpetually rated at the bottom of the prospect pool.
The Bruins are playing a better team, simple as that. The Bruins look gased and have looked that way for some time. That's what happens when you have to bust your ass to stay competitive.

I have not seen the game... but 3 goal one PP + 2 empty netter on 6 goals. You might be right.
You sound like you’re 70 years old like me!! Drive to the net!! When I was young me and my linemates had one rule. We will All meet the net. And FYI, the goal posts were screwed into the ice. Didn’t move an inch. Old time hockey!! North south.
Playing like this he isn't.
