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

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

Sleazy salesman role aside, always loved the guy.

Great to see you're doing well.

Donny has found poitras lohrei sway jake McAvoy fredric carlo through the draft and he sucks?

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Best part about Lohrei's first NHL game tonight aside from his first point was the fact that he didn't seem to crack under the pressure, he made a few bad decisions that led to Leafs scoring chances (as expected at this point in his career) and didn't fold, I'm sure coaching has a bit to do with that as well.

Didn't see him mentioned much tonight but Carlo was phenomenal

He has been most of the season

 

[ON3M4N]

Curious if Bertuzzi wishes he had taken Boston's offer vs trying to get bigger deal. Now he's bouncing around the Leafs line-up and has 3pt in 10gp

He is shooting way more too and doing a great job of getting pucks through

Hard to say. But I think he'd be doing better here than Toronto. He fits our style more. Oh well.

Poitras also has that element to him. Love guys who make a mistake and immediately recover. Both these players could be game changers for the Bs this season, as they are super cheap and highly valuable. Pretty damn nice to have prospects stepping up big in the same season -- Lohrei, Poitras, Beecher, and Lauko looked good before his injury.

Marner is an excellent player. Matthews has a great shot.

Swayman wants the Vezina this year.

His biggest problem toward winning it is his teammate.

 

[ON3M4N]

Crazy stat for tonight. High danger chances were 12-2 in favor of Boston when Geekie was on the ice

And kudos to Monty who ALLOW the kids to make mistakes and learn from them instead of benching them.

They're not afraid to make a mistake. They have confidence.

I’m one of Carlo’s biggest critics but he had an amazing game tonight. That cross ice pass in front of Swayman that he knocked out of the air and cleared was perfect.

Heard on the Sportsnet post game that he had 3 shifts in the 3rd and NONE in the last 8 minutes (or after the 8 min mark...can't recall)

Thaaaat's a shame...

 

[dugg133]

I'm sure leafs fans are handling this rationally

 

[PlayMakers]

Did Pasta play tonight. Except for the penalty didn't hear him mentioned.

He ripped a puck off the cross bar with a minute left to play. (Set up by Heinen.)

The Zacha-Poitras-Pasta line struggled. They were outshot 4-11.

IMO, Poitras has struggled with 1st and 2nd line matchups. He didn't play well with Marchand, and didn't play well with Pasta tonight. They put him out for one shift with Frederic and Geekie and they had the puck in the Ozone for a minute with Poitras setting up multiple scoring chances.

 

[wintersej]

Marner is an excellent player. Matthews has a great shot.

Nylander has outplayed them both so far

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Geekie impressed me late in the 3rd period surrounded by Leafs on the boards yet wouldn’t cough the puck up . He’s growing on me .

 

[ON3M4N]

Pretty damn nice to have prospects stepping up big in the same season -- Lohrei, Poitras, Beecher, and Lauko looked good before his injury.

He had a shift in the 3rd where he won 3-4 puck battles and kept the play in the o-zone. You could see he was gassed but he still battled hard enough to win pucks against guys like Matthews.

Only 2,743,659 calls to 911 so far.

So yes.

 

[WestCoastBruinsFan]

If we just didn’t have the, what is it, 30th, 31st or 32nd best group of prospects, maybe we could grow a decent team. Who knows.

 

[hrdpuk]

Jake had a good game and broke his slump

 

[Mione134]

Take a look at the main board....

Dumpster fire.

They're not afraid to make a mistake. They have confidence.

When he came here that was one of his biggest upsides. He's so good in developing young players and building their confidence. We have been seeing it with guys like Jake, Frederic, and Carlo, but especially with the rooks. Rebuilding year? Monty says "pffft."
