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

[danpantz]

I'm sure leafs fans are handling this rationally

They wanted Reaves to jump Pasta as retribution.

Bananaland

Jake had a good game and broke his slump

He had a great game. Monty felt that and had him shoot first instead of Pasta. Confidence grows and he's confident in him.

 

[Bruinaura]

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.

Poitras late in the third was incredible. Major puck hound

 

[GatorMike]

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

Morgan Geekie is good, y'all.

 

[ON3M4N]

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...

Looking at the shift chart, that's accurate. He also had a stretch in the 2nd where he was stapled to the bench. 3rd lowest TOI for Leafs forwards tonight.

 

[missingchicklet]

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.

Think I know which one you are talking about. Looked like multiple 51s out there. He was all over the place keeping the play alive in the offensive zone. I scared my dog on that shift I was so juiced at Poitras' tenacity. Pure guts and will on that shift.

 

[Mione134]

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."

Absolutely. I know last year sucked the way it ended, but I really like Monty, and he's definitely the coach for our young kids. He's the right guy.

 

[Sheppy]

Leafs board in shambles knowing that their father (The Bruins) bent them over his knee and spanked them yet again.

 

[Mione134]

Morgan Geekie is good, y'all.

I told y'all! I said he's going to be an underrated pick up. I was shocked the Kraken didn't re-sign him. He's a good player.

 

[BruinsFan37]

Wasn't this supposed to be a down year?

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 hugView attachment 762143View attachment 762144View attachment 762145View attachment 762146View attachment 762147View attachment 762148View attachment 762149View attachment 762150View attachment 762151View attachment 762152View attachment 762153

BRILLIANT!!!! THANK YOU!!!

 

[quietbruinfan]

Just saw the highlights. Sway was unreal, particularly in the second. He stole the game really. Lohrei is extremely talented but just a rover and lost on the defensive end at this point. (Boy do we have something there.) Nice work by the centers. Zacha seems to be coming around after a slow start.

 

[Bounces R Way]

EZ game tbh

Light work

 

[Bruinaura]

I know he's not Bergeron, but he's got some of the elements. Like "magically" being in the right spot.

[JOKER 192]

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.

Other teams have prospects we have NHL players. See why we're 32nd? They are rating prospect pools after all , not NHL players.

 

[xStanleyCupsFor]

Shattenkirk had a good game

 

[PlayMakers]

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

The announcers were ball washing Toronto in the first but we were outshooting them and all their shots were from the perimeter.

 

[McGarnagle]

Also, Heinen-Zacha-Pastrnak has to stay together. Honestly what Danton Heinen brings might be the missing piece there.

That cross-ice pass Heinen made to find Pasta when he rang the post late in the third. Goodness gracious.

 

[PlayMakers]

Jake had a good game and broke his slump

Best game of the year. He was competing hard and making plays all game.

 

[Sheppy]

(I also thought Danton Heinen was very solid tonight)

 

[DarrenBanks56]

one of forbort or gryz sits with everyone healthy. lohrei looked so poised out there

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Lohrei played great. Was fun watching him. Couple turnovers but so it goes.
Carlo also. Best game I've seen from him in a long time. Give me more of that

Zacha could be a 50+ goal scorer with all the high danger chances he gets and can't convert on.

Sway and the goalies once again kept the B's in the game.

*Edit. Lindholm's been not good this year so far.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Shattenkirk had a good game

Id take him over Clifton any day. I like calm defenceman.
