BRUINS GDT EDF Game 1 - Fishsticks at BRUINS - Part III

[TP70BruinsCup]

Bruins doing more right than wrong tonight. Need to stick with it. Can pull this out. Marchand needs to be greedy and shoot too.

Let’s go Bruins!

 

[CAW1313]

I’m sticking to my 4-2 prediction. We will win the 3rd!

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

ISLanders stick to their gameplan. HIT, Wait and capitalize on Boston turnovers!
Third line is having trouble
Hope Smith is back

 

[Ladyfan]

Pasta for a hatty in the third
I said before the game that Pasta would have a big game.

Can you hear how loud the crowd is ?

 

[cska78]

If Smith is hurt it's 50 shades of bad.

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

When you see the penalties called against the Bruins i have no idea how the Islanders have only gone down a man once. Top 2 lines are dominating, JDB and Ritchie are dragging that 3rd line down, Brutal from them.

 

[The National]

i was feeling stupid thinking i missed something very obvious. Glad it wasn’t just me.

Yeah no it was just the classic find #63 and blame him.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

1 power play for Boston while dominating. LMAO.

 

[Gordoff]

To the shithouse to flush him...

 

[Otherworld]

Clutterbuck hit.

Clean?

 

[Aussie Bruin]

I didn't see what happened to Smith

Copped a decent hit from Clutterbuck. Didn't look too bad, but you never know what can cause an injury. We really need him back if at all possible.

 

[UncleRico]

Nick Ritchie and Jake DeBrusk both play like two guys who don't give a shit.

I've really had enough of both of them.

Ritchie gained hero status here because he parked himself infront of the net on power plays and got rebounds. He stopped doing that and now he’s completely useless.

We saw Danton heinen do the same thing where his point production got inflated in a top 6 role for a short period and came back down to earth and now we see that with Ritchie.

Difference is at least heinen was responsible defensively. Ritchie brings nothing outside of a net front presence besides occasional physical play.

 

[TwineTickler]

Isles have gotta be feeling extremely lucky. Bruins are f***ing dominating. Gotta hit their skill more. Their trash is hitting our skill... need to go back at them. Have to win this game considering how badly they are dominating. Big third coming.

You guys sound incredible. Keep it up

 

[BobbyAwe]

Ya not looking great for Smith. Fingers crossed

I knew it - Grizz comes back but now Smith is out.

Another indispensable player.

I have nightmares about injuries every playoff.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

I'd rather see Montreal win that series tbh. Just for laughs(no pun intended)

Agree

Toronto means we play Tampa next Montreal would mean it’s West winner.

 

[The National]

Yikes...

 

[Gator Mike]

Through two periods, the Bruins have an even strength xGF% of 84.40%. (2.31 to 0.43)

The Bergeron line has an xGF% of 100.0%.

The Krejci line has an xGF% of 93.05%.

 

[Grimey]

Man, these zebras are seriously making me feel horrible for giving my bush league refs shit.

 

[smithformeragent]

Refs "putting the whistles away" hurts almost as much as calling all the ticky tack stuff.

If it's not an even game and one team is relying on infractions to prevent scoring chances you're giving them a big advantage.

Bruins haven't really chased the play too often so far tonight so they don't get the advantage

Throwback to the NJ Devils trap days.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Clean?

A little cheap and maybe a touch late, but essentially yes.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Whatever happens we cannot let shots from the point get through, TB scored numerous goals last year in the playoffs against us and the Caps won their only game against us this way.

 

[Maine Fan]

I still scared.

 

[Gordoff]

Of course nobody on NBC is objective when it comes to the lack of penalties on the Isles...

 

[Dueling Banjos]

I am remaining calm. SERENITY NOW!!

Insanity later
