Post-Game Talk: GAME 10 - A well earned 2 points - BRUINS 3 Hogtown 2 F/SO

[HumBucker]

I was a little worried in OT when I noticed that we had Pasta, Potrais and Lohrie on the ice.

But Lohrei was great all game. Kid's making a case to stay a while.
Great to beat the Leafs missing 3D and with 3 rookies in the lineup.

How can lohrei be sent down now? He has so much poise back there . Calm like a cucumber.

I don’t think you are allowed to talk about cucumbers after last playoffs.

 

[Sheppy]

Lo-Rider just has this it factor to him. He’s calm, his breakout pass was a thing of beauty.

He’s going to make mistakes but give me him over a guy like Shattenkirk any day of the week. Twice on Sundays.

 

[dugg133]

Lohrei was great, idk how you send him back if he keeps playing like that.

Swayman was sensational, coming into the year everyone was saying we needed goaltending to be our strength and it absolutely has been.

Carlo and Lindholm stepped up big time, same with Marchand and Debrusk

Only downside of the game for me is that you need more from Pasta in games like this, he needs to be a star and he wasn't tonight.

Leafs forwards when they enter the Bruins zone on Carlo's side of the ice.

 

[Dr Hook]

I don't know what has happened to Lindholm.

When he first arrived in Boston he was so confident, calm and sure with the puck in his own end.

Today he made a great play to anticipate a pass to Matthews along the boards, intercepted it and then just gingerly flipped it back up the boards to the Leaf who passed the puck in the first place.

He is prone to the boneheaded giveaways. I was thinking about asking on the Ducks forum if this was what he did there too.

Thanks Fenway

'Tis the Season!

Beat the Leafies again

No harm in talking about cucumbers in the regular season. I'll take my chances. Cue the cucumber pics everyone. Let's go!

 

[McGarnagle]

Have to say, I really like Kevin Shattenkirk. When they signed him I thought it was absolutely unnecessary and assumed he was washed up, but he's an incredibly competent defenseman in his own zone and willing to jump into the play on offense. I'm really impressed, it's great value for the money.

 

[sarge88]

Wonder if Monty will consider giving Sway the start Saturday and then giving Linus the next two?

 

[Dr Hook]

Lo-Rider just has this it factor to him. He’s calm, his breakout pass was a thing of beauty.

He’s going to make mistakes but give me him over a guy like Shattenkirk any day of the week. Twice on Sundays.

But being fair to Shatty, he had a solid game tonight which was needed.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Lo-rider, I like that.

I really liked Carlo when we drafted him and I felt the same on Lorhei but you could see he had the potential to really put a lot of presence on offense in comparison, he did not disappoint tonight with his offensive instincts and ability to get back into coverage.

 

[JOKER 192]

Gonna have to watch this one when I get back. Only thing better than beating the Leafs is beating the Habs.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Ok, they once again made me totally forget my earlier annoyance at the late home start….missing half your regular D corp, no problem…we’ll still grind you down and find a way to win…and if all else fails, every night we send out one of the best goalies in all of hockey…happy pig pile, smile , and a bear hug

 

[Oates2Neely]

Interesting that Pastrnak and Nylander are buddies, the longer Nylander waits to sign in his FA year the more I can dream that he could come to Boston and play with his buddy.

Back to the game, great all around effort after a very rough stretch in the 2nd period. Swayman great again and Lohrei was really impressive, his reach in the Dzone was noticeable and his offensive abilities are well known. Coyle and Beecher dominated the dot and Debrusk and Marchand with strong games. I also liked the play of Steen and Heinen.

Nylander is going to command 10-13m in free agency. I’d rather sign Bertuzzi for 5.5-6m and use the extra cash to sign a right dman to take Shattenkirks spot

 

[stocker]

Swayman wants the Vezina this year.

He hit a post with like 4 minutes left and then it was all Bruins the rest of the way. Also drew the pp in overtime.

 

[Bruinator]

Didn't seem as though he did.

I can't help but think that Matthews looks like Bill Paxton playing the sleazy car salesman in True Lies.

God rest his soul. Bill died from the exact same open heart procedure I had that saved my life.

Had plenty of reasons to lose, but refused to. Statement game. Props to marchy, he should feel good about this one, solid leader in a tough spot .

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Lindholm McAvoy
Lohrei Carlo
Forbort Shattenkirk*

I’d keep Grz and delete Forbort . I know Forbort has a specific role killing penalties but I replace him with Lohrei anyway . I think Forbort would struggle against the Leafs or the speedier teams in the playoffs.
